Learning Python has been helpful for data creation/evaluation tasks needed as an IT professional:
- I wrote a script that will open all the webpages I use daily in my workday, using one command, as shown in picture. This simplifies my morning routine.
- I wrote a script to read, evaluate, and write data in Excel spreadsheets and text files using Python. This is helpful to find patterns, data errors, and automate tasks.
- I wrote a script to browse through a website, click links, and save screenshots to automate browser testing using Selenium and Python.
- I can download data from webpages, and parse html contents using BeautifulSoup.
- I can evaluate and extract data from within XML tags using ElementTree.

Python Game Programming Final Project
The task of one Python course was to an write object oriented program based on the Asteroids game. I wrote classes to create objects for a spaceship, a set of ten rocks, a create bullets that disappear after a few seconds. I wrote methods to fly the spaceship, spin the spaceship, shoot bullets, spin the asteroids, keep track of the score, make the asteroids explode, and end the game as needed. To play the game, click here, and press the blue triangle to begin. Press Up Arrow to move forward, right or left arrow to spin, space bar to shoot bullets. Enjoy!
