What you'll create
Portfolio projects that showcase your new skills
The Nile
Build a series of Python functions with tricky argument syntax that helps flesh out your skills as a developer who can manage complex functions with a few simple keystrokes.
School Catalogue
It's time to build fluency in Object-oriented Python. In this next project, we're going to practice Classes in Python so you can hone your skills and feel confident taking them to the real world. Why? You'll gain confidence in extending classes to their subclasses, then linking their shared methods and properties. What's next? NYC schools, a digital catalog, more inheritance. You got this!
Sam's Surf Shop
Create a suite of automated tests for the local surfboard rental store, Sam's Surf Shop!
