Python BootCamp Projects

Welcome to the Python BootCamp repository! This collection showcases the hands-on projects and exercises I completed during an intensive Python training program. The goal was to strengthen core programming fundamentals, explore automation, build fun applications, and practice real-world data manipulation and web-scraping techniques.

Overview

Throughout this BootCamp, I tackled a variety of projects covering:

• Data manipulation & analysis: Working with CSV files, using Python’s built-in data structures, and applying file handling techniques.
• Web scraping & automation: Leveraging libraries like requests, BeautifulSoup, and Selenium to collect data and automate interactions.
• APIs & integrations: Consuming public APIs (e.g., ISS Overhead Notifier, stock trading news) and handling JSON data.
• GUI applications: Building desktop apps with tkinter (e.g., Flash Card App, Habit Tracker, Pomodoro Timer).
• Game development: Creating simple games such as Snake, Ping Pong, Turtle Race, and Crossing Road using pygame or turtle modules.
• OOP & best practices: Implementing object-oriented design (e.g., Coffee Machine simulator) and practicing error handling and logging.

Tools & Technologies

• Python 3.x – Core language features, standard library
• requests, BeautifulSoup, Selenium – Web scraping and browser automation
• tkinter – GUI application development
• csv, json – File and data format handling
• pandas (in CSV projects) – Data manipulation and analysis
• pygame, turtle – Simple game development
• git & GitHub – Version control and project hosting

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sai-forge/Python_BootCamp.git

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # on Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies (if any) for specific projects:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the scripts in each project folder as instructed in their README or code comments.
