Unit 4: Improving the Code

We'll cover...:

  • How to implement our ideas from Unit 1

...but we'll also cover:

  • How data quality issues impact scripting
  • Where to go next

Scaling up = learning more about the shape of your data

Let's edit editrecord.py so that it runs against exampledump.mrc instead of examplerecord.mrc. What happens?

Writing our own functions

Let's go back to the feature requests we wrote in unit 1 and make some features happen. Aw yeah.

Debrief

Let's share code, discuss what we've learned, and clarify things still in need of clarification.

Next steps

First, write down your plan, somewhere you won't lose it. What are you going to do next with Python?

Second, please fill out the evaluation.
