Course Summary

Students are presented with more advanced Python concepts as they learn how to manipulate lists and handle functions. They are introduced to object-oriented programming concepts and practice building and using objects. Students will need to have completed Python 1 in order to understand Python 2.

Course Outline

    1. If Statement in a For Loop Why not combine a few of the previous lesson content? Let's take a look at using if statements in for loops.
    2. Python Accessing Items in a List Lists are great but not very useful if we can't access the items inside of them. Let's take a look at how to access these items without needing to use a for loop.
    3. Project: Nicco's Pizza You are the new owner of Nicco’s Pizza in Rome Italy and Gordon Ramsey, The Cake Boss, and many other food celebrities are coming to eat at your restaurant. Since it is the very best Pizza it needs to have the very best ordering system.
    4. Project: Leap Year leap year calc
    5. Using Integers from a List Learn about different ways to use a list of integers!
    6. Project: Prime Number Calculator Prime number calc
    7. Adding to Lists in Python Learn different ways to add to and remove from a list in Python.
    8. Project: Factorials In this project, students will write a program that receives one number as the input, then calculates the sum of all factorials of its factorial.
    9. Removing from Lists in Python Learn different ways to remove items from lists in Python
    10. Python Lists Continued This lesson continues on the topic of lists and accessing items inside of them.
    11. Project: Guess the Word Hangman
    12. Python While Loops While loops are looping code structures that run WHILE something is true.
    13. Project: Contact List Contact list
    14. Python Functions Functions are a great way to break up long sections of code and can be used multiple times without having to rewrite them.
    15. Python Function Parameters One of the great things about functions is that we can pass parameters to them and the function can handle the rest.
    16. Multiple Parameters in Python Functions Two is better than one! Let's learn how we can pass multiple parameters to a function in Python.
    17. Project: Odd One Out
    18. Python Dictionaries The second grouping of information we will look at in Python is dictionaries. Don't get these confused with real world dictionaries!
    19. Adding to and Removing from Dictionaries Learn the different ways to add to or remove from a dictionary in Python.
    20. Project: Partners for a Project
    21. Dictionaries Continued Let's continue learning about dictionaries in Python, specifically how to add and remove items, check the dictionary's length, and look for certain keys in a dictionary.
    22. Project: Secret Message
    23. Looping Through a Dictionary Using For Loops with dictionaries is easy! Let's see how this is accomplished in Python.
    24. Looping Through a Dictionary Continued This lesson adds to our knowledge of dictionaries and for loops.
    25. Tuples This lesson introduces tuples and how we can use them to store data in Python.

Course Project

In this course, students will complete challenges that help solidify concepts as they use skills in a variety of ways. In order to complete tasks, students will creatively apply what they've learned by using different approaches to reach a goal. This experience closely follows challenges they would face in a technical interview, allowing them to practice.
