Understanding Dunder Main (__main__)
In Python there are naming conventions for some special methods that utilize the double underscore character along with the method name. In this workshop we’ll talk about using a recommended Python best practice, dunder main.

Object-Oriented Python
Sometimes simple scripts with functions in them just aren't enough. Eventually you'll need logical models of your work and that'll lead you to creating custom classes in Python. Object-oriented programming is a large topic. It provides us some amazing tools, though, so it's one of the most beneficial things to learn about in Python. First, you'll learn how to build basic custom classes. Then, you'll expand them through inheritance. And for some extra power, you'll also learn how to take control of Python's built-in classes to make your own more powerful while doing less work. Finally, we'll put everything together into a fun game utility.

Write Better Python
We've learned the ins and outs of Python. We're comfortable making all sorts of data types, writing functions, and creating classes. But now we need to look at how our Python code should be formatted so it matches the standard. We'll also look at how to get our code to give us help() and how we can use logging and pdb to help us keep track of what's going on inside the code.

Track Completion
Beginning Python
Python is a programming language that is used for a variety of different web applications. In this Beginning Python learning Track, you'll establish the basics of this popular language.
Python is used for web applications, servers, information security, artificial intelligence, data science, mathematics, video games, and even robots. It is commonly used by many Fortune 500 companies and top technology startups. By the end of this Track, you’ll have what it takes to kick off your Python coding journey.
We'll start off this Track with courses in Python Basics, like syntax, numbers, and loops. Then we'll tackle Python lists and Python tuples. Next is our course on Python Functions—you'll learn about Python functions, how to send and receive values to functions, and about Python packing and unpacking.
The next part of the Track will take you through the ins and outs of Python Sequences, Dictionaries, and Dunder Main. These principles are the next building blocks you'll use as you continue to establish your Beginning Python essentials.
To wrap up this Track, we'll cover Object-Oriented Python and tips for writing better Python code. Finally, wrap up your Beginning Python learning with a course on dates and times in Python.
Treehouse is the best place to learn Python, and this Track is a perfect place for anyone to start. Yes, even if you've never coded before! Join us and let's get started.
