Strings and Lists

Learn to work with strings and text in your Python code.

Style and Structure

Get practice writing longer programs, and improving their structure and style.

Adventure Game

Demonstrate your Python skills by coding a simple version of an old-fashioned text-based adventure game.

Introduction

In this lesson, we'll introduce you to your instructors, give you an overview of what you'll be learning, and provide a review you can use to check your pre-existing Python skills.

Working with files

Learn to work with files on your disk using Python code: listing files in a directory, moving files around, and reading & writing the contents of text files.

Web APIs

Learn to interact with Web APIs using the requests module, manipulate JSON, and use dictionaries.

Objects and Classes

Learn to create new kinds of data object using classes, including creating your own methods.

Rock Paper Scissors

Apply your Python and Object-Oriented Programming knowledge to create a game of Rock Paper Scissors where a human can play against a computer player!

What is JavaScript

Learn the history of JavaScript and start writing your code immediately using the JavaScript console.

Data Types & Variables

Learn to represent real-world data using JavaScript variables, and distinguish between the different data types in the language.

Conditionals

Learn how to add logic to your JavaScript programs using conditional statements.

Loops

Harness the power of JavaScript loops to reduce code duplication and automate repetitive tasks.

Functions

Dive into the world of JavaScript functions. Learn to harness their power to streamline and organize your programs.

Arrays

Learn how to use Arrays to store complex data in your JavaScript programs.

Objects

Meet the next JavaScript data structure: the Object. Learn to use it to store complex data alongside Arrays.

Build a Shopping Cart

In this project, you will use your JavaScript development skills to build the core functionality of an eCommerce shopping cart for Kirana's fruit market.

Congratulations! What's next?

Great work finishing the program! Here's some advice on next steps in your programming journey.

Conduct Industry Research

You're building your online presence. Now learn how to share your story, understand the tech landscape better, and meet industry professionals.

Take 30 Min to Improve your LinkedIn

Find your next job or connect with industry peers on LinkedIn. Ensure your profile attracts relevant leads that will grow your professional network.

Optimize Your GitHub Profile

Other professionals are collaborating on GitHub and growing their network. Submit your profile to ensure your profile is on par with leaders in your field.

What is Version Control

Version control is an incredibly important part of a professional programmer's life. In this lesson, you'll learn about the benefits of version control and install the version control tool Git!

Create a Git Repo

Now that you've learned the benefits of Version Control and gotten Git installed, it's time you learn how to create a repository.

Commits, Tags, Conflicts

Knowing how to review an existing Git repository's history of commits is extremely important. You'll learn how to do just that in this lesson.

Remotes and Developer Repos

In this lesson, you'll learn how to fork another developer's project. Collaborating with other developers can be a tricky process, so you'll learn how to contribute to a public project.

Writing READMEs for Repos

Learn the importance of well documented code and see how to craft meaningful READMEs.
