ABOUT THIS COURSE

After learning the basics of Python, it’s a great idea to complete at least one hands-on project where you can build something from scratch using Python. This course offers the opportunity to build a basic but classic Rock Paper Scissors game, command-line style. You’ll begin the course by looking at the end product and then building the game step-by-step, adding one tiny feature in each lesson. This way, you’ll add one or two helper functions to the codebase and then test them individually in the main controller function. Because of this modular approach, you’ll finish coding the game efficiently and professionally. By the end of the course, you’ll have one complete hands-on project in Python added to your profile. That’s a great start!

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
