Apply your knowledge by building a project

Personal finance can be tricky, but it doesn't have to be! This project helps you understand loans and mortgages with a handy calculator. Just provide a few details like loan amount, interest rate, and payment terms. The program will calculate key financial parameters, making informed decisions easier. You can determine your monthly payment, the total interest paid, or the loan amount you can afford.
Plus, it's a great way to understand the command-line interface. So, ditch those complex spreadsheets and let our calculator simplify your finances, one calculation at a time. Get ready to become your own financial guru!

What can be better than a cup of coffee during a break? A coffee that you don’t have to make yourself. It’s enough to press a couple of buttons on the machine and you get a cup of energy; but first, we should teach the machine how to do it. In this project, you will work on programming a coffee machine simulator. The machine works with typical products: coffee, milk, sugar, and plastic cups; if it runs out of something, it shows a notification. You can get three types of coffee: espresso, cappuccino, and latte. Since nothing’s for free, it also collects the money.

As organizations grow, managing payroll becomes more complex. With more employees to track and pay across departments and various regulations to comply with, errors and disputes can be costly. This project teaches how to manage a database system to track employee data, calculate pay, and generate reports.

A hacker has attacked the IT system of your school and destroyed the database. As a leader of the Science Club, your school has asked for your help. The situation is grave. There is only one week before the final annual exams. You need to recover the annual scores of the students. The school management provides the data from the archive, and the Science Club members help you with csv files. Your task is to create the school database and calculate the annual score.

The International Union Against Idleness (IUAI) announced a competition for an application that would motivate users. There are prizes involved. Since you like competing and know a little bit about programming, you asked your friend to prepare an interesting algorithm for a quick buck. Unfortunately, you weren't clear enough, and instead of a ready-made program, a friend prepared a flowchart of Honest Calculator. You will have to put some effort into assembling it.

Eating out with friends is fun, but splitting the bill can be tricky. This project helps you develop a Python-based tool to easily divide restaurant bills equally. Input the number of friends and the total bill amount, and the app calculates each person's share. No more awkward calculations or uneven splits!

Managing an e-commerce site can be complex, involving tracking orders, products, employees, and other vital data. While ledger-keeping was an option half a century ago, modern databases have now taken over. Are you interested in testing your skills with complex queries using an e-commerce database?

Several disciples returned to take revenge from the wizarding school they were expelled from. The headmaster requires brave and smart students to defend the school. Are you ready to help him with this?

The volume of data generated by our car dealership continues to grow daily. The data can help you draw significant conclusions to run the business more efficiently. But first, we need a convenient way to collect, organize, and store the data. This project focuses on designing and optimizing a database system enabling efficient data management.

Good library management is all about keeping records. In the past, special logbooks were reserved for these purposes. The modern solution are databases, an excellent tool for storing big chunks of information — anything, from images to text, single-character data to thousands of digits. You don't even need to keep this data on your computer! Let's see how databases can help you with running a library.

Playing with friends is pure fun but getting ahead of them is even more enjoyable. Invite a friend to play the Last Pencil, a game where you decide who wins. In this project, your opponent is a computer that is an expert in the game. But it's up to you to choose who wins.

Markdown is a special plain text formatting language that is extremely popular among developers. It is used in documents, research articles, Github README files, and other things. In this project, you will write an editor that will be able to recognize several tags, structures, and save your results to a file. You will practice concepts frequently tested in technical interviews at top tech companies.

Have you ever wanted to code a game where the computer is your enemy? Well, this little project allows you to do just that. Take turns playing classic dominoes against your computer in a race to victory. Learn, how artificial intelligence can make use of simple statistics to make educated decisions. This project is all about basic concepts, put them to practice by making a fun little game.

If you’ve ever wanted to create games, this project will get you started! In this project, you will code a Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock game, a more advanced version of Rock-Paper-Scissors, which can be played against the computer. You will practice concepts frequently tested in technical interviews at top tech companies.

Everything goes digital these days, and so does money. Today, most people have credit cards, which saves us time and energy and protects us from unnecessary stress. Cards make our lives easier in so many ways  to carry a wallet full of cash to providing consumer protection. In this project, you will develop a simple banking system with a database.

It takes a lot of hard work to enroll in the university of your dreams. Although, we tend to dismiss how difficult it is for the university to handle the document volume. In this project, you'll deal with university applicants. You'll implement an algorithm to determine which applicants are going to be enrolled. At each stage, the algorithm will gradually become more complex and comprehensive! You will practice concepts frequently tested in technical interviews at top tech companies.

We bet you know how to rename, copy, and delete files on your computer, but have you ever considered creating your file manager? This project will help you do just that. You can guide your file helper through folders, check sizes, and edit content. It's a must-have tool for organizing your computer.

Everyone who plays videogames these days knows that they have very good visuals. It was not the case though during the early days of the industry. Many of the first videogames were text-based. "Colossal Cave Adventure" was arguably one of the most influential of them. There were no visuals, only big chunks of text, extended gameplay, a story, and the ability to save and load your progress. Use this project to create a similar text-based adventure game with a story written by you.

Your great-grandmother asked you to copy all the recipes that she had been collecting in her notebook for several decades to “that computer of yours”. You don't like easy solutions, so you decided to build a recipe database. You will need to refresh your SQL knowledge to build a simple backend.

Create a small program that helps investors make a fundamental analysis based on the company's reports and estimate the company's performance. With this calculator, you can choose the best company in the industry and decide whether to buy its shares or not.

It would be great to remember anything at any time. Alas, our mental capacity is limited. The good thing is that there are a lot of tools to help us memorize things. In this project, we are going to create a tool for memorizing lines, poems, speeches, and other text-based materials.

A to-do list can improve your work and personal life. It relieves stress; you can be more efficient. Save time for the best things! Let's make it happen.

Create a strategic game inspired by "Duskers" where a team of robots explores mysterious locations and looks for titanium. You will build it from scratch starting from the menu and adding the game hub, some animation, a few upgrade options, and some spooky enemies to spice things up.
