Hi Christina; It has been a few months since I taught a workshop, so this might be outdated. My comments relate to the mid-2015 version of the python-inflammation lesson. I have found that that lesson is too long to fit into a single quarter, so have experimented with augmenting the lesson content slightly, and spreading it over 2 quarters. The last workshop I lead was a 4 mornings event: https://douglatornell.github.io/2015-09-22-ubc/. <https://douglatornell.github.io/2015-09-22-ubc/>
On the 4th morning we covered the Creating Functions section <http://anakarinarm.github.io/python-novice-inflammation-2015-09-24-ubc/06-func.html>, an augmented section about Errors and Exceptions <http://anakarinarm.github.io/python-novice-inflammation-2015-09-24-ubc/07-errors.html>, and a section on Command-line Programs <http://anakarinarm.github.io/python-novice-inflammation-2015-09-24-ubc/10-cmdline.html> in which one of the big objectives it to lead the learners through the process of moving from Notebooks to Python modules written in a text editor. So, not really a capstone, but a deliberate approach to the "advanced" material in python-inflammation that seems to work well for learners coming to SWC from a background of minimal programming experience in other languages (mostly Matlab and a little R). Hope this helps...
