Almost all other courses focus on knowledge. In this course, we focus on 4 critical skills.
Overall:
The course covers basic to advanced modern Python 3 syntax. Beginners will learn a lot.
The course helps you master the 4 most important skills for a programmer
Programming skills
Problem-solving skills: rarely covered by other courses
Project building skills: partially covered by other courses
Design skills: rarely covered by other courses
7+ times practice & homework compare to other courses + many (real & challenging) projects
Special Teaching style: iterative, easy, and short
In a few minutes, I cover clearly what many others need 2-3 times to explain
This is an English Course only. Full manual English subtitles will also be provided soon.
Content
Fundamentals: Variables, Loops, Control Flow, Lists, Tuples, Sets, Dictionary, Functions, Recursive Functions
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):
Objects, Classes, Abstraction, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Operator Overloading
Embedded in homework: Several design principles & patterns
Special Topics: Files, Exception Handling, Modules and Packages
A huge set of Quizzes, Practice, Homework, and Projects
2 styles of homework: Algorithmic (problem-solving) and applications
Several software design concerns are embedded in the homework.
So you are getting introduced to Software Engineering & Design Patterns
Several quizzes to master the concepts
Building Skills: Practice, Homework, and Projects
One unique feature in this course is my education strategy:
Explain, Administrate & Challenge
Each video smoothly explains a simple concept(s)
Typically followed by easy to medium practice to administrate the concept
Then typically followed by an easy-medium-hard set of homework questions to challenge you
Extensive homework from easy to medium to hard to help to build the skills.
Most of the practice/homework questions are unique in this course
Programming questions are mainly from my competitive programming experience
OOP questions are mostly invented to achieve several goals:
Mastering the OOP concepts
Enforcing a lot of design heuristics & OOD
Preparing you for design principles and patterns
Small-to-large set of projects to build up project building and design skills
Solutions to all of them.
By the end of the journey
Solid understanding of programming concepts and its Python syntax
Mastering the target 4 skills
With the administered problem-solving skills
You can start competitive programming smoothly in Div2-A/B Codeforces
Smooth start in Data Structure course
Smooth start in Algorithms course
With the administered project-building and design skills
Smooth start in Software Engineering course
Later, smooth start in one of the technology tracks in frontend or backend
Don't miss such a unique learning experience.
This lecture is borrowed from my C++ course. The same concepts in C++ and python
