"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 c to run the notebook on Colab
  • Click on d to run the notebook on DeepNote
  • Click on m to run the notebook on MyBinder
  • Click on n to view the notebook on NBViewer
  • Click on the title to view the notebook on github.
  • Hover over the title to view a description.

Etudes for Programmers

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.
