Python Crouse Introduction

Hi there and welcome to the Python Mega Course: Build 10 Real World Applications. I assume you're curious to know what this course contains, and you also want to know what you will achieve by completing this course, so that's what this introductory post are all about. My name is Anshuman Mazumder and I have been learning Python more than one and a half years. I'm also a freelancer mainly using Python for data analysis and visualization. I have worked in the GIS sector as well where Python has a much-respected position. Back to the course content now. You don't need any previous knowledge of Python to take this course. The course will take you from zero and you'll build up the skills slowly and advance them as you will build these 10 applications.

This is called a Mega Course because first, it has 22 hours of content and second, the course will guide you on how to create 10 large applications in different areas of Python starting from data analysis to visualizations on the web and web apps with databases and many more, and specifically you will build these 10 applications. First, you start small by first building a program that generates texts given some user-defined rules. Then, as the second application you'll build a program that creates Web Maps, and after that, you'll build a program that blocks access to certain 39 websites in certain hours during the day in your computer. This program has been quite useful for me personally as it doesn't let me browse destructive websites while I'm working, so that improves my productivity. And then as the fourth application, you are going to build a website with Python and the Flask framework and not just that, but you will also learn how to deploy the website in a live server so that everyone can see your website through the website URL address. Then you will build a desktop program that interacts with a database and lets users store, delete, and view data through the program graphical user interface which you are going to build with Python. Next, you will create a program that starts the computer webcam and start recording a posts, and it detects, movement lives in the posts frame that is being captured, and so the program also records motion data and produces a web graph with an overview of the motion that took place in front of the camera. And all this process is fully automatic. Next, you will create a web scraper which is a program that extracts data from websites and stores those data in a web structure format such as CSV or Excel files. Then you'll create a web app which visualizes stock market data on a web page. This is very useful for people who work on data analysis and visualizations. After that, you'll build a web app using Python and the flask web framework. This web app will have a PostgreSQL database as well in the backend, and in the frontend, it will have an HTML form where users can submit data and then the program sends an automatic email to the users with some statistics extracted from the back-end database. So that's a very interesting web application with lots of features, and lastly, you will create a web application that lets users submit addresses of locations, and the program converts those addresses to geographic numeric coordinates and lets the user download the output through the web page. So that's about the 10 applications. All the content is yours and you have unlimited access, however here is my advice now. Let's be honest, if all you do is watching the posts

Without trying the code that I show in the posts, you won't be able to learn Python easily. You cannot

Learn how to drive a car by just watching someone else do it, right? So make sure you write and play around with the code I show you the blog and don't just copy my code, but try to experiment, change some parts of the code, Run the program again and see how the output changes. Also, try to solve the assignments you are given because there are a few assignments throughout the course.

And also ask questions in the Q&A area, so in the question-and-answer area. Do internet research and be persistent in solving code issues which always arise while programming no matter how good you are. If you do all that you'll have very good control of the Python programming language and you'll be ready to apply for at least an entry-level job after you finish this course. That's about the course. Now feel free to go to the next lecture and I wish you good luck! Thanks!
