What you'll learn
- ✓Replace loop boilerplate with list, dict, and set comprehensions, including conditional and nested forms
- ✓Write flexible functions with *args, **kwargs, defaults, lambdas, and higher-order patterns like sorted(key=...)
- ✓Design classes with __init__, methods, dunder methods, and inheritance, and know when objects beat dicts
- ✓Build lazy data pipelines with iterators, generators, and yield
- ✓Write and read decorators built from closures, and apply practical ones like timing and caching
- ✓Use the standard library power tools: collections, itertools, functools, math, re, pathlib, and json
- ✓Handle files and errors safely with context managers and custom exceptions
- ✓Choose the right data structure by big-O cost and solve classic interview-style problems cleanly
