Look inside
The real estate developer you’re working with wants a program that can non-interactively read, sort, and write out the sorted data to a new file. In this liveProject, you’ll create this new program using the csv, abc, and time libraries. But instead of relying on Python’s built-in lists, you’ll implement the program with your own custom lists and sorting routines—gaining hands-on experience working with commonly used data structures and algorithms, demystifying all the work Python does for us and impressing your client, all at once!
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
Manning author Kyle Dewey talks about his liveProject Series.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
The liveProject is for people with basic familiarity with Python and programming, comparable to a single introductory course at the college level. To begin these liveProjects you will need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS- Intermediate Python
- Object-oriented programming (defining classes and methods, using inheritance, creating objects)
you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll see the real-world impact of algorithmic time complexity on the performance of your code as you learn to implement and work with commonly used algorithms and data structures:
- Define an abstract data type (ADT)
- Define a linked list
- Implement sorting algorithms
- Perform algorithmic time complexity analysis
features
- Self-paced
- You choose the schedule and decide how much time to invest as you build your project.
- Project roadmap
- Each project is divided into several achievable steps.
- Get Help
- While within the liveProject platform, get help from other participants and our expert mentors.
- Compare with others
- For each step, compare your deliverable to the solutions by the author and other participants.
- book resources
- Get full access to select books for 90 days. Permanent access to excerpts from Manning products are also included, as well as references to other resources.
