Python Learning Path – Gokstad Akademiet

This repository documents my weekly Python exercises as part of the two-year Backend Programming program at Gokstad Akademiet. The full curriculum covers topics such as object-oriented programming, databases, REST APIs, and web technologies, but this repo focuses exclusively on the Python fundamentals portion of the program and intentionally omits any SQL work.

Python Learning Goals

• Basic syntax, variables, and data types
• Control flow with conditions and loops
• Functions, modules, and standard libraries
• File I/O and error handling
• Introductory object-oriented programming concepts
• Simple web programming with Flask later in the course

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12 or later
• Recommended tools: a code editor (e.g., VS Code, PyCharm) and Git

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository and change into the directory

   git clone https://github.com/cihat-kose/python-learning-path.git
   cd python-learning-path

2. Create and activate a virtual environment

   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install any required packages (none at the moment)
4. Run an exercise file with python oppgavene/oppgaver_uke34.py

Folder Structure

• oppgaver_uke34.py – exercises for week 34
• oppgavene/ – supplementary materials

Contributing

Participants are welcome to extend the exercises or submit improvements:

1. Fork the repository
2. Create a feature branch
3. Commit and push your changes
4. Open a pull request for review

Future Improvements

• Add automated tests to validate exercise solutions
• Organize exercises into separate folders per week
• Introduce code style tools such as black or flake8
• Provide example solutions and additional documentation
