This repo is the source of truth for all exercises in this course.
IMPORTANT! Please remove these instructions before sharing this repo with learners.
This repo contains one folder for each module and each module folder contains subdirectories for exercises:
module-#-name/
├── exercise-name-starter/
│ └── INSTRUCTIONS.md
└── solution/
└── .gitkeepexercise-name-starter/- Contains the starter files and instructions for the exercise (INSTRUCTIONS.md template provided)solution/- Contains the solution files for the exercise.
Note: The
.gitkeepfile in the solution folder preserves the directory structure in the repository when the folder is empty. It should be removed when one or more solution files have been added to this folder.
Eight module folders have been provided as a template; However, you may need to add more or possibly use less than eight depending on what is needed. If you require an additional module folder, you can make a copy of an existing folder and paste it into the root directory.
As you build the exercises, the module and exercise folder names should be changed to reflect the content e.g.,
- module-1-python-basics/simple-calculator-starter
- module-2-object-oriented/classes-vs-instances-starter
- module-3-web-development/simple-api-starter
- module-4-error-handling/try-catch-practice-starter
- module-5-ai-agents/fact-checker-agent-starter
⚠️ DO NOT NUMBER the exercises! Our modular content may be used in more than one program where the order and number of exercises may differ from the order and number in the primary build.
