Welcome to Python Programming Intermediate Level - Working with Files - 6 Week Flex Course, an exciting 6 week course where we will learn how to read and write files, build programs that have file persistence, or memory, to store data in our programs. We will be looking at storing data from and to JSON, CSV, text files, and other formats. We will also be working with time and other modules to store information (for example, count how long its been since you last ran the program, calculate interest on a million dollars in real time, check if your information is stored, and so on). Based on python you already know, strings, lists, dictionaries, and loops, we will read and write files, build games, build a website in Flask, all using python! Every week we will work on another fun aspect of connecting python to new types of files and make cool things happen.

Each module will have an in-depth video explaining the concepts and working through building programs to solve the weekly challenge and examples of concepts. From getting started with python and working on new projects, we will build up the skills to make our own programs and learn new ways to save and read files using code. Weekly modules will cover different topics, and scaffold skills so we are able to build more complex programs and think of new ways to solve coding challenges . The course will focus on fun and interesting examples to help students understand concepts that can be applied elsewhere.

Because this is a flex class, students will get detailed videos each week that cover the topic of the week. Each modules includes slides, code, and video for students to work through. Students will have a weekly homework assignment at the end of each module part of programming. Feedback will be provided  so learners can work on improving their coding as we work through the course and build the skills need to learn programming.
