Is this course for you?
Beginners who want a guided Python project, and learners preparing to move into Odoo development.
Before you start
No prior Odoo knowledge is needed. Installation lessons cover Windows, macOS and Ubuntu; you will need a computer on which you can install Python and a code editor.
Your learning path
- Install Python, choose an editor and learn the interpreter
- Build the text game with functions, menus and validation
- Model stores, calculate profits and refactor the game loop
- Create the Tkinter interface and separate classes into files
What is included today
38 published video lessons, from installation through the final refactoring sequence.
Environment and version guidance
This is a Python 3 course rather than an Odoo module course. Follow the lesson setup and check library differences if your Python installation is newer than the demonstration.
