Hi everyone, I'm Rachel,
a Python teacher here at Treehouse.
0:09
I wanna show you the awesome and
0:13
fun projects that you'll build as
part of our Python Techdegree.
0:14
This is a tech degree that I personally
took as a student, and I came out with
0:18
a portfolio of projects that demonstrated
all the skills Treehouse taught me.
0:22
Picture this, a polished digital
presence showcasing projects that
0:27
highlight your Python mastery.
0:31
And where does this journey begin?
0:33
With our fifth and
final project, the portfolio.
0:35
At the end of your Python Techdegree,
this is where you'll end up,
0:39
a dynamic online showcase of your work and
skills.
0:42
It contains what any
portfolio website should.
0:46
We start off at the top with your name and
some navigation.
0:49
We then get a clear one liner and
a picture that best represents you.
0:53
Scrolling down,
we have some information and some skills.
0:57
Then we have our all important projects,
and a button for
1:02
each that links out to
the respective GitHub repo.
1:05
Scrolling all the way down,
we have a contact method and
1:11
some social media links.
1:14
Each project also gets its own page so
you can really talk about them.
1:17
Let's come up to the navigation and
click on Projects.
1:23
A list of our projects appear, and
we can explore each one in detail.
1:26
Let's click on the first one.
1:32
We have a date, a link to GitHub, a list
of skills used, and the description.
1:33
We can also edit the project.
1:40
Let's say I made some
changes to it recently,
1:44
I can change this to December 2023.
1:47
Scroll down and submit the changes, and
1:51
the change persists on the project page.
1:55
We can even delete the project if we
wanna remove it from our portfolio.
1:59
Finally, we can even add a new project
directly into the portfolio website.
2:05
Scroll up to the top and
click on Add Project on the far right.
2:11
Let's add a new project,
the portfolio website itself.
2:15
Project title will be Portfolio website.
2:20
Completion date has already
been pre-entered as today.
2:25
The description can be,
2:27
a portfolio website that houses
all of my Python projects.
2:30
Skills can include Flask,
SQLAlchemy, HTML, and CSS.
2:34
And I will paste in a GitHub link.
2:41
When we press Submit,
we get taken to the new project page, and
2:44
we can even see it in
the Projects dropdown menu.
2:47
Take this as a sneak
peek into the future you,
2:52
displaying all the coding wonders
we'll explore in this video.
2:55
Now let's rewind a bit and
explore our first project.
3:00
Your Python Techdegree journey starts
with the number guessing game,
3:04
where the magic of Python begins.
3:08
This is an app that randomly selects
a number and the player has to guess it.
3:10
Upon guessing, the app will check and
3:14
let the user know if the correct
number is higher or lower.
3:16
The game continues until the player
guesses the number correctly.
3:19
You can even take it a step further and
add some additional features,
3:24
such as the ability to start a new game
and making sure that players only submit
3:28
numbers between 1 and 10, nothing outside
that range or any letters and symbols.
3:33
To complete this project, you'll learn and
apply some key Python skills like lists,
3:39
inputs, comparisons, and
the Python random library.
3:44
In project two,
3:49
you'll explore the world of data
manipulation with a basketball stats tool.
3:49
This app takes raw data on teams and
players,
3:54
cleans it, and
then sorts players into teams.
3:57
The user is presented with a menu
that they can interact with.
4:01
We can enter 1 to display team stats,
4:04
and then enter another number
to view a specific team's stats.
4:06
We can see the team name, the number
of players, and a list of players.
4:11
To make your project even better, you can
program your app to sort players into
4:15
teams more fairly and showcase more data.
4:20
Let's have a look at Panthers
stats by entering 1.
4:23
We can now see the number of experienced
and inexperienced players on the team,
4:26
the average height of all players,
and a list of team guardians.
4:30
This project uses your new
skills in Python collections,
4:34
dictionaries, and
functions as you clean and sort data.
4:38
Project three is a game
called Phrase Hunters.
4:42
The app chooses a random phrase
from a bank of phrases, and
4:45
it's the player's job to guess
the phrase one letter at a time.
4:49
The app constantly gives
the user feedback, and
4:53
the game continues until
the full phrase is guessed or
4:56
the player runs out of guesses,
and then the app closes.
4:59
The project can also be expanded
to show off more skills.
5:04
You can program the game to catch any
invalid inputs such as multiple letters or
5:08
numbers.
5:13
You can also add the functionality for
5:14
the user to start a new game without
having to run the file again.
5:16
The Phrase Hunter project uses
object-oriented Python to complete,
5:21
which is an incredibly useful skill for
you as a developer.
5:24
Project four introduces us to
the store inventory project,
5:28
which uses our newfound
skills in databases.
5:32
This is an app that takes a CSV of product
data and adds it to a SQL database.
5:35
Then it presents the user
with a menu of options.
5:41
The user can view a single product by
entering v and then providing an ID.
5:44
We can see all the data such as the ID,
name, quantity, price, and
5:49
when it was last updated.
5:54
The user can also add a new product
to the database by entering a.
5:56
Here, they can provide a product name,
quantity, and price.
6:00
The data is then added to the database,
and
6:05
we can see it by viewing the latest
product ID, which is 28.
6:08
We can see all the details we entered and
today's date too.
6:12
The user can also enter b to back up
the database into a CSV file which
6:15
contains all the data from
the current database of products.
6:20
Finally, the user can
enter x to exit the app.
6:24
Once you've done that,
6:28
you can explore ways to make
the app even better for the user.
6:29
When viewing the products using v,
we can list out existing IDs so
6:32
the user has a reference.
6:36
If the user enters anything
other than a valid menu option,
6:40
the app can ask them to try again.
6:43
And if a user enters the name of
a product that already exists,
6:47
the app can simply update the existing
product rather than adding a new one.
6:51
Finally, we can program the app to
produce a backup CSV that has identical
6:58
formatting to the original CSV file so
it can be used as another data source.
7:02
This project seamlessly blends Python,
CSVs, and
7:08
SQLAlchemy to create
a sophisticated inventory system.
7:12
It's not just about managing data, it's
about mastering the art of effective data
7:16
management in real-world applications,
and you'll be able to do it too.
7:21
Finally, we come full circle back to
project five, the portfolio project.
7:26
Showcase your coding prowess in web
development by blending databases,
7:31
HTML, CSS, and Flask.
7:36
It's not just a portfolio,
it's your digital showcase to the world.
7:39
And there you have it, a glimpse
into our Python Techdegree projects.
7:43
Each project is not just a coding
exercise, it's a step toward mastering
7:47
Python and preparing yourself for
real-world applications.
7:51
I know these projects may seem
intimidating at first, but don't worry.
7:56
Here at Treehouse, we'll teach you all you
need to build everything you've just seen.
7:59
We've got an amazing and
supportive Slack community of students and
8:04
moderators to help and
empower you along the way.
8:07
So join us on this exciting journey
of creativity and technical finesse.
8:10
Happy coding, and I'll see you next time.
