In the previous video we introduced the term coroutine but did not actually define it. In this video we give a more concrete definition. As a result, we see that coroutines and generators have a lot…

Generators take iterators as input, but they also produce one as output. In this video we show how to chain iterators together, doing complex operations on our data.

This partial typing from the previous video has a name. It is called duck typing. In this video we show both why this is so popular among Python programmers and also why it is so controversial.

In this video we show how to take recursive definitions from mathematics and implement them in Python. To do this, we will need to have a function call itself in its own definition.

Recursion is a general concept that does not just apply to programming languages. In this video we show that recursion exists in mathematics and even natural language.

This video introduces an advanced topic that is completely optional and will not appear on any exam. Lists don’t just allow us to use a single position in an assignment statement. We can also…

Try-except statements will allow use to write functions that we could not write with conditional statements. In this video, we show how to use try-except as a general programming tool.

While there are no more conditional statements, Python does support a conditional expression. In this video we introduce an expression that evalues to something different, depending upon the boolean…

Now that you know why specifications are so important, it is time to write them. We have a very specific format that we want for our specifications, which is detailed in this video.

In this video, we talk about the business side of developing software and the challenges of working in teams. This video demonstrates why specifications are so important, and motivates the details in…

Python has very few functions built-in. All other functions are provided by modules, special files that add optional functionality to Python. In this video we show how to use these modules to…
