"The form Python Certification Initiative 2 is no longer accepting responses."
I suspect this is wrong ;) I have had to interview programmers a few times and it always baffled me. To this day I have no idea how anyone can evaluate a programmer's skill. One problem is it is not one problem. there are a few sills that don't always overlap: 1 know the syntax 2. understand how to define a problem in terms of algorithms that solve the problem 3. things learned by experience. I'm sure there are such things, right? 4. elegant code .... In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess. 4. source control and other mechanics so you don't burn up time 3. ability you count to 5. I have a 1-2 hour tutorial that covers most of What makes Python Python. 90% assuming this is something than can be measured :p I love presenting this as it always generates wonderful questions, although 1/2 of them are "perfect question, that is coming next" and "work that out on your own, we need to be done in 2 hours." I remember one session lasted 4.5 hours. https://github.com/CarlFK/Ripley/blob/master/ripley.txt#L67 """ There are 2 Bools: True and False. There isn't much more that needs to be said about this. >>> True True >>> False False (todo: go look up python 3 change with respect to float/int) Floats have a dot: >>> 1.2 1.2 (todo: go look up python 3 change here) Integers don't: >>> 2+2 """ On Fri, May 13, 2022 at 2:09 AM Tomasz Muras <nexor1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi All, > > I've set up a private wiki that we can use to collaborate at > https://pycert.info .
