Description

This course is for anyone excited about Python and wanting to learn it from beginning to expert level.

Perhaps you want to learn Python for school, data science, deep learning, or to get a career developing business applications. If so, this course is for you. While we are making a fun Pirate Trading Game like the original Taipan the skills you learn will allow you to begin developing Python applications in virtually any discipline.  Making a Python game is a FUN way to learn these core Python principals. In addition this course is fast paced and designed to quickly move you into more complex object oriented design patterns.

With much experience in course design, this course was created from the ground up to be the most fun way possible to learn Python. We start at the very beginning with simple print, input, and if statements. Soon we are doing while loops, for loops, and are working with dictionaries and collections. After getting through the basics we jump into object oriented programming, refactoring our game and introducing you to more advanced topics.

And who doesn't want to make a fun Pirate Trading Game?

NOTE: This course uses an 'old school' text interface very similar to the original Taipan. The focus is on object oriented design patterns and game architecture.... not on graphics or presentation.

In this course we cover all core aspects of the Python language:

  • Variables

  • While & For Loops

  • Tuples, Dictionaries, and Lists

  • Using constants to improve code readability

  • Object Oriented Principals

  • Understanding the difference between instance and class methods

  • Using the random number library

  • Diving your code up into multiple files for easier management

  • Creating and using a Game Manager object

  • Learn a variety of ways to pass arguments to methods

  • Managing Collections of Objects and Critical Design Patterns

  • Learn to load your game data from CSV files

At the end of this course you will have the foundation for a fun pirate trading game. Most importantly this course covers all the core Python language structures and commands you need to know to build your own projects.


Who this course is for:

  • Beginning and Intermediate Python Developers
  • Anyone wanting to go from Beginning to Advanced Programming Topics within just a few hours
  • Anyone who wants to learn Python in a fun way by writing a game
  • Business application developers who would like to get into game programming and development
  • Developers who want to Learn Important Object Oriented Design Patterns

Founder Greg Moss has been a business application and game developer for more than 30 years.    Unlike the typical boring reference courses that simply walk you through options and commands like reading a dictionary, Greg produces fun courses in which either learn the tools by creating exciting games or you learn by using the tools to solve real world problems.

Greg focuses on development solutions and design patterns that get the job done!

First Class Game Studios

Greg is the founder of First Class Game Studios, fun game studio that led off  with a cutting edge highly experimental game project NeuroMage, a game that combines exciting spell-casting duels, gorgeous imagery, and cutting-edge biosensor technology.

Using NeuroSky's Mindwave - a research-grade wireless EEG headset - Greg created a game in which you learn to harness the power of your own mind to build an arsenal of powerful spells and defeat your opponent.   

Greg has taken what he has learned through many years of business and game design architecture and put into making fun Udemy courses.

Here is what some Odoo Class subscribers have said about our Odoo videos:

I am completely new to Linux, Python, Postgres and everything Odoo. Odooclass videos have been pivotal in my learning process and in my opinion is the best resource out there for beginners especially for those like me migrating from an entirely different development background. The videos are very clear and relevant. I would highly recommend them to anyone new to Odoo.

- Peter S.

I just wanted to say that the videos are great and have really opened my eyes to the capabilities with Odoo.

- Joey K.

First off I want to comment on all of the quality video editions you have recently added to your library. They have been tremendously helpful and I have been recommending your service to many people.
