Python 編碼：初學者的基於專案的程式設計課程 | 2級

***Please note that this is not a live Python coding class.

Students will receive pre-recorded videos, handouts, partial codes which have clear instruction on Python concepts and how to apply them to complete FOUR real-world projects! 

Hey everyone, if you have completed the first part of my Python programming class or any other Python/java entry level class, you are welcome to join the second part, which will cover some advanced concepts of Python and guide you to build FOUR projects!

==========> Reason to choose this Flex Class: 
*** Project-based Learning
*** Offers 450+ minutes of video recording!
*** 15 videos
*** 12 assignments
*** FOUR real-world projects
*** Ask and get help within 12 hours

==========> What students will learn? 
Students will- 
** learn project management and coding skills by completing real-world projects
** develop problem solving skill
** learn how to be more organized in coding- clean coding 
** learn how to translate pseudocode to actual Python code
** debug code (finding bugs in the code and fix them)
** enhance coding skill by building projects which aim to provide solution to a business
** learn how to add new features/upgrade projects
** get opportunity to work on an extra project (for advanced students)

==========> The structure of the flex class is as follows: 
1. Every week students will receive several videos along with a weekly assignment. Assignments will have deadlines. Students are requested to submit assignment by the due time. 
2. They will need to create an online account by signing up here:  https://repl.it/
3. Students will need to share their projects so that I and other students can see the solution. (A solution will only be shared after the deadline)
5. Their coding assignments will be posted (URL) in the classroom so that other students can see the approaches and learn different strategies from each other
6. Shared projects must have comments using Python syntax so that other can clearly understand the solution
7. If students have questions. they can directly message me or post their questions in the classroom. Questions will also be posted in the classroom so that students can participate
8. Some assignments will have partial code which will be explained in the posted videos, students will need to complete the rest and share their solution in the class. It will be discussed in the classroom whoever has the most efficient coding strategy to complete the project and why the strategy is the best compared to other solutions

==========> List of Concepts
In this class, you will start learning some Python programming concepts and apply them to create some challenging projects. Let's first see the list of concepts!

1. Boolean 
2. Python Dictionaries 
3. Python While Loop
4. Python For Loop
5. Python Iterators
6. Python Functions
7. Python Lists

==========> Projects for this class
You will be completing the following FOUR projects using the concepts mentioned above:

==========> 1. Rock, Paper, and Scissors game
We have all played this game! But, this time you are going play the game against the computer! We will some the concept of conditions, loops, and arrays to create this classic game.  

==========> 2. Sign up for a bank account
To signup for a bank account, you will need to provide your personal information and choose a password. In this project, we will learn the code to sign up for an account with passwords. We will use the concepts of nested loop to setup the password. 

==========> 3. Advanced Grading Calculator 
In level-1 of the Python class, you completed a grading calculator project which has over 200 lines of code! You have applied the concept of logical operators and if else conditions. However, we had to use a lot of conditions for each of the subjects that was graded. So this time we will learn how can we use Python functions to optimize the code. The code will be shorter and more efficient. 

==========> 4. Self-Checkout Bookstore
If you have recently visited a grocery store like Target or Walmart, you may have noticed that are terminal which do not have any cashier! They are self-checkout terminals that allow you scan your product and pay for it. You do not have to talk anyone unless there is a complex issue processing your order. We will learn how to create a self-checkout terminal using Python Dictionary, Arrays, Loops, and Functions.
