This article describes Quest Of Python - a side project I started 3 months ago.
What is QuestOfPython.dev?
Quest Of Python is a website with free programming exercises for Python language.
The general idea is that I post short exercises with an exemplary solutions of mine. There is a Github organization that contains repositories with starting code and tests for each exercise.
Any prerequisites?
The content I produced so far is aimed towards beginners/mid developers.
I don’t walk through very basic things like installing Python on your computer.
I also expect that you’re familiar with adding dependencies to the project - most of the exercises uses Python’s standard library but 2 of them utilise pytest for writing tests.
It’s on my TODO list to create a subpage that would list these prerequisites in single place.
What kind of exercises have been posted so far?
As of now, available exercises will help you practice:
- basic data structures (list/dictionaries/sets)
- writing simple tests in
pytest&unittestand parametrizing them - working with JSON
- simple data analysis with standard library
- using
importlibmodule for programmatic import of code
Tech stack - if you’re interested
Beside being a main subject of exercises, Python is also powering the Quest Of Python backend.
Technologies used:
- Python & Django
- htmx (for the newsletter signup form & showing exercises solutions)
- HTML/CSS
- PostgreSQL
Closing remarks
I encoure you to take a look at Quest Of Python. I’m also open to any constructive feedback as it helps a lot with improving current material and preparing a new one (feel free to reach out via email).
Best Regards,
Kuba
