All of the pieces we've learned so far.
0:04
Strings, lists, dictionaries, classes are
just building blocks for bigger and
0:06
greater things.
0:10
One of the problems with building great
things is that they often
0:12
become really messy.
0:15
As you've probably come to expect though,
0:17
Python has things in place to help clean
up any messes you make along the way.
0:18
In this course, we'll be looking at rules
for
0:24
how to write your Python code so it
follows traditional Python conventions.
0:26
Writing your code to a convention helps
your code to blend in with
0:30
the code written by other people,
0:32
and makes it easier to spot mistakes.
0:34
We're also going to learn how to write doc
strings.
0:36
Which let our own functions and classes
provide their own help text.
0:38
And to help us when things go wrong, we're
going to learn about logging and
0:42
using the built in Python debugger, PDB.
0:46
We have a lot to cover, so let's get
started.
