Hi folks! First off love the concept of boot.dev. I have been loving the learning journey so far.

I tried looking through the files themselves to find the .md file for Ch.3 Inline 1. Split Delimiter assignment on the static-site-generator project to fix the typo, but alas couldn't find it. I did come across the note about the preferred way was to submit an issue so here I am.

Issue
On list item #3 delimter should read delimiter.

Thanks again for reading my note! If by any chance there was a way for me to have actually been able to do a pr to have rectified and saved you all some time would love a pointer or two so that I could help the greater cause.

Carlo

The link to the project Build a Pokedex on Command Line (Go) is broken and shows error 404.

Ch 1.7 It's Math of Learn Functional Programming might have an error in the test cases.

Official solution

def get_median_font_size(font_sizes):
    if len(font_sizes) == 0:
        return None
    sorted_sizes = sorted(font_sizes)
    n = len(sorted_sizes)
    if n % 2 == 0:
        return (sorted_sizes[n // 2 - 1] + sorted_sizes[n // 2]) / 2
    else:
        return sorted_sizes[n // 2]

My solution

def get_median_font_size(font_sizes):
    if not font_sizes:
        return None
    idx1 = len(font_sizes) // 2
    if len(font_sizes) % 2 == 0:
        idx2 = idx1 - 1
        return (font_sizes[idx1] + font_sizes[idx2]) / 2
    else:
        return font_sizes[idx1]

Test cases - see how they're all presorted? They maybe shouldn't be? My code wouldn't work if they weren't.

run_cases = [
    ([10, 12, 14], 12),
    ([9, 11, 16, 20], 13.5),
]

submit_cases = run_cases + [
    ([8, 8, 8], 8),
    ([14, 18, 22, 30], 20.0),
    ([6, 6, 6, 24, 24, 24], 15.0),
    ([], None),
]

Suggested fix:

Add some unsorted run_cases or submit_cases

Correction: 'aaway' to 'away'

@wagslane

I cannot find a single mention of testing or testing frameworks in the curriculum.
If I missed something, please, provide a link, else explain the omission.

Some specific courses that would be very helpful for me that I didn't see on the list are something like:

• Learn GraphQL
• Learn Mobile Backend Development
• Learn Security Best Practices (Go, Python, JavaScript)
• Learn Cloud Platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure)
• Learn Natural Language Processing

Are there any plans for any of these courses? Thank you for all of the hard work you guys put into making such great courses!! (Also, not sure if this is the right place to put something like this, so please let me know if there is a different place to send feedback like this)

1. Learn Coding Basics in Python (Skip if not brand new to coding)
2. Learn Python (Skip if not new to python)
3. Learn OOP
4. Build Dev Env Setup
5. Learn Algos
6. Learn DS
7. Build Maze Solver
8. Learn Advanced Algos
9. Personal Project 1
10. Learn JS
11. Learn HTTP
12. SEO Analyzer in Node.js (convert to Node, we need HTTP for this)
13. Learn 2D Graphics
14. Learn Functional Programming
15. Learn Go
16. ... rest is the same

Here are some of my thoughts:

• Python is easier to start with than JS
• It just makes the most sense to use fetch() to teach HTTP so JS makes sense
• Group FP with the rest of JS
• Simplifies the "where to start problem" (there are really only 3 places to start, and they're all at the beginning)
• Allows us to teach more advanced & modern JS in "learn js" which is nice.
• Not starting with JS will solidify the look that this is backend focused

• Slight concern that lack of visuals at the beginning won't be as fun
• 2D graphics is still out-of-place

I noticed that some items on the roadmap have links, while others do not. I wanted to confirm whether this was intentional or if there are plans to make all items links in the future. Could you provide some clarification on this?

Thank you!

in DECORATORS:

Original Code:

def vowel_counter(func_to_wrap):
    vowel_count = 0

    def wrapper(doc):
        vowels = "aeiou"
        for char in doc:
            if char in vowels:
                vowel_count += 1
        print(f"Vowel count: {vowel_count}")
        result = func_to_wrap(doc)
        return result

    return wrapper

It should be:

def vowel_counter(func_to_wrap):
    vowel_count = 0

    def wrapper(doc):
        nonlocal vowel_count
        vowels = "aeiou"
        for char in doc:
            if char in vowels:
                vowel_count += 1
        print(f"Vowel count: {vowel_count}")
        result = func_to_wrap(doc)
        return result

    return wrapper

Otherwise, we cannot access local variable 'vowel_count' where it is not associated with a value.

The modulo operator is first introduced in the solution to "Ch 7: Loops C4. Prime?". The explanation of the modulo operator, on the other hand, is not found until "Ch 8: Lists 16. Modulo operator in Python". Could be confusing.

I believe the answer here should be "slots" not "parameters."

Will Boot.dev help my me find my first job?

Issue: There is a minor typo in the first line.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem: Open the CS track homepage

Expected: This is the one-and-only learning path on Boot.dev

Actual: This the one-and-only learning path on Boot.dev
