While writing code for our own use can be a lot of fun, creating the best software - even if for our own use - often involves doing a whole lot more than simply writing code.
Full Life-Cycle
Even when we are working for ourselves - let alone working for others - unearthing hidden requirements, planning software versions, defining code / data relationships in advance, testing, as well as planning for feature regressions can often be just as important as well!
Thus while our own academic and / or "for-personal-use-only" projects are often fast, loose and "code-only" creations, creating world-class software must usually be planned, tested, maintained... as well as deliberately designed for success.
Problem-First 'Ops
In addition to basic design options these Missions will also cover key terms, acronyms, best-practices, as well as an introduction to the most important on-line code-nexus which new software developers need to know. -Insights to help you better prepare for working as a professional software developer.
So the accelerated lesson plan for the Python Missions learning process focuses upon demonstrating what you might be called upon to do in order to create ready-to-re-use programming solutions.
Basic Python Required
Familiarity with Python is required. If you have completed our Python 1000 Series or other basic Python training then you will have no problem completing these Missions.
The topics these missions are presented to gradually jet you into writing highly reusable, understandably designed, as well as cross-platform tested Python projects as quickly as possible.
If you find yourself skipping – or sleeping – your way through far-too-coder-centric programming examples, then Python Missions is designed for you!
