Coding Exercises For Powerful Python
Thank you for your interest in Powerful Python Bootcamp. Set aside 45-60 minutes to watch the videos and complete the following coding exercises.
Step 1. Download Exercise Files
Download the file (PowerfulPythonSample.zip), un-zip it, then go to the next step:
Step #2. Watch The "Labs" Video
These "labs" are coding exercises designed to QUICKLY teach you advanced Python concepts, and put them into action. Watch this video:
After this video, do helloworld.py in your
courseware. You'll find it in the "labs" folder. If you need a hint,
peek in the "solutions" folder.
When you finish, continue to the next step:
Step #3. OOP Exercise
After this video, do oop.py in your labs folder. Peek
in the solutions folder if you need a hint.
NOTE: Because different applicants have different backgrounds and strengths, you do NOT need to complete the lab and make all tests pass. Time box this to 10-15 minutes, completing it if possible, but otherwise getting as far as you can.
When you finish, continue to the next step:
Step #4. Function Abstraction Exercise
Watch this Video:
After this video, do keyfunc.py in your labs
folder. Peek in the solutions folder if you need a hint.
Again, time box this to 10-15 minutes, completing it if possible but otherwise just getting as far as you can in that time.
Step #5. Compare
Look at the provided solutions, and compare to the code you wrote. Is it different? If so, what lessons does this teach you about writing high-quality Python code?
Step #6. Send In Lab Files
Submit your oop.py and keyfunc.py
files through this form:
NOTE: The labs on this page are simplified, shortened versions of the course material in Powerful Python Bootcamp. You can get more realistic, complex lab samples here.
