"An étude (a French word meaning study) is an instrumental musical composition, usually short, of considerable difficulty, and designed to provide practice material for perfecting a particular musical skill." — Wikipedia

This project contains pytudes—Python programs, usually short, for perfecting particular programming skills. Some programs are in Jupyter (.ipynb) notebooks, some in .py files. For each notebook you can:

  • Click on co to run the file on Colab
  • Click on dn to run the notebook on DeepNote
  • Click on my to run the notebook on MyBinder
  • Click on nb to view the notebook on NBViewer
  • Click on the title to view the notebook on github.

I got the idea for the "etudes" part of the name from this 1978 book by Charles Wetherell that was very influential to me when I was first learning to program. I still have my copy.
