Create a scheme of work for "Python ~ beyond the basics"

[ntoll]

What are the basics?

• Junior Python developers
• People in first position in a company
• Developers looking for new ideas/directions with Python

At least a basic understanding of:

• Using a text editor
• Using the Python terminal
• Running Python scripts
• Basic language constructs such as:
  • Defining functions
  • Assigning variables
  • Importing modules
  • Basic OOP

The Outcomes will be

• Confidence to write well designed, maintainable and modular code.
• Understand testing (and mock), its application and place within software development.
• Autonomous development - where to find things and ask for help.
• Use Python better - pdb, pip, PyPi, virtualenv, documentation, coverage, pyflakes/flake8, pep8.
• Pythonic conventions: Zen, packaging, idiomatic Python, community, PEP8.
• Practiced certain skills such as: debugging, code review, documentation, best practice code examples.
• Feel confident and positive about where next. Plan of action for when they return to work.
