Course description:

In this course, you will explore coding guidelines and best practices, such as PEP8, as well as using popular Python tools like Pylint, Flake8, Autopep8, Black, and Pydocstyle. Additionally, you will learn about different docstring styles, such as Sphinx, Numpy, and Google, as well as using type annotations and the static type checker, MyPy. You will also gain practical experience in debugging, profiling, timing, and unit testing (TDD). Furthermore, you will learn how to create your own Python packages, modern HTML documentation using MkDocs and Google documentation strings, and how to use continuous integration tools like GitHub Actions for testing and code documentation.

The Course covers the following Topics:
Installing and setting up the software
