2024 is finally here! To ring in the new year, I wanted to show off a project I’ve been working on, and to share a new academic achievement of mine in the form of a certificate from Harvard University.
After starting this past summer, I have now successfully finished CS50’s Introduction to Programming with Python course. CS50P was an absolute joyride of a course that I learned so much from. I’m very much looking forward to wrapping up CS50x in the next month or so, and to (hopefully) taking more CS50 courses throughout 2024.
With the completion of CS50P, though, I was required to submit a final project that served as a culmination of everything taught in the class. I decided to develop a custom Python package to learn about the ins and outs of preparing custom packages for distribution. This ultimately resulted in color50!
color50 is a custom Python package I developed to offer more options for printing in color at the command line. Working on this project took me deep into all sorts of technical rabbit holes, from writing Sphinx-style documentation to configuring packages for distribution via PyPI. I am very pleased with how it turned out, and I hope fellow Python developers and CS50 students can find some utility in using it!
