Decode the Code with Stack Hack
A Python programming and Full-Stack Web Development course
Overview
Stack Hack combines the personalized and flexible aspect of tutoring services with the structure and organization of a full computer science course. We begin with the fundamentals of programming and progress quickly onto more sophisticated concepts such as recursion and object-oriented programming and then for the remainder of the course we learn full stack web development. The primary language that we will be working in is Python.
What You'll Get
ONE-ON-ONE
Our one-on-one tutoring-style teaching allows our students to move at their own pace and get the most out of each session.
WEB DEVELOPMENT
After learning the core programming concepts, we move on to full-stack web development. Students who complete the course will have built a fully functional blogging site.
COMMUNITY
Connection with peers facilitates learning. At Stack Hack we use a tool called Slack to create a platform for our students to discuss and share what they have learned.
FLEXIBILITY
We designed Stack Hack so that students can begin course sessions at any point in the summer they want, and come to sessions during the weeks where they have the time.
VIDEOS
Our students will have unlimited access to videos and exercises created for every topic covered in this course.
Why Python?
Python is a powerful and versatile language that can be used for just about anything: data analysis, web servers, game development, machine learning, and more. In fact, it's one of the official programming languages used at Google.
Python is also the first programming language taught to computer science students at many of the top universities in the country such as Stanford University, MIT University, Carnegie Mellon, Rice University, and many more. This is because the Python code reads very much like English, so students don't needlessly get bogged down in complicated syntax, which allows the focus to be on learning to think and reason in a computational way.
def compute_squares(numbers):
result = []
for num in numbers:
squared = num ** 2
result.append(squared)
return resultThis is an example of some very basic Python code. It takes in a list of a numbers, and returns a list of those numbers squared:
[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] -> [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
As you can see, the language is very readable.
[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] -> [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
As you can see, the language is very readable.
