Taking Python to Production: A Professional Onboarding Guide

Transition from Coder to Software Engineer with Python: Build Production-Ready Applications

Ready to level up from coding to becoming a full-fledged software engineer? This course provides the essential tools and practices to ship high-quality, production-ready software using Python.

Designed for aspiring engineers, data scientists, analysts, and junior developers, this course bridges the gap between foundational coding skills and the realities of software development workflows. Learn the crucial non-coding aspects often missed during onboarding – the guidance you need to succeed.

What You'll Learn:

• Professional Python Development Environment: Master setting up a robust and efficient Python development environment.
• Visual Studio Code Workflow: Optimize your Python development workflow with Visual Studio Code, including advanced autocompletion techniques.
• Version Control with Git & GitHub: Become proficient with Git, GitHub, and effective branching strategies. Learn seamless integration with VS Code and the command line.
• Clean Code Practices: Write clean, maintainable code and ensure code quality through testing, linting, formatting, type checking, and comprehensive documentation.
• Packaging & Deployment: Publish production-quality software for a wide audience using packaging, versioning, continuous integration (CI), and continuous delivery (CD). We'll cover tools like pre-commit, GitHub Actions, and PyPI.
• Project Templating: Learn to templatize your development process, enabling you to quickly create new, high-quality projects.
• Open Source & Closed Source Projects: Understand how both open-source projects and closed-source projects are managed and how to effectively run your own.

Prerequisites:

A solid understanding of Python fundamentals (loops, functions, classes, etc.) is recommended.

Outcome:

By the end of this course, you'll be confident contributing to complex software projects, whether in an open-source or company setting. You'll understand the entire software development lifecycle, from development to deployment.

Bonus: We focus on the non-coding aspects that make you a valuable member of any software engineering team.
