Computer Vision#1: Taming the 'Python' - Not the Snake, the language

Python is a tool, remember that you need to master the skill not the tool, the use of tool can be mastered as you build your skill.

Number of Weeks (Recommended): 2 weeks 
Number of Hours (Recommended): 1 hour/day 

Starting with the phase I of our learning module. This blog discusses about the various options to check as well as enhance your python programming skills. Needless to say, this is one of the essential basics to master in order to create a vision tool. This will enable you to read the work of others as well as implement your ideas. Before enhancing a skill, its always good to see where we stand currently, this enables us to lay out a plan for further steps.

The best way to do validate this is to take practice tests available with a lot of websites where they take timed tests based on your skills and assess your performance. The links to different websites where you may take such a test are -

a) https://www.testdome.com/tests/python-algorithms-online-test/92 - Testdome not only gives you a chance to assess your skills, it also provide you a certificate based on your performance which can be shared on social media.

b) https://realpython.com/quizzes/ - This website is really cool in the sense that it provides a lot of other learning stuff other that quizzes. However, Its best to follow whatever learning path you started with, otherwise there is so much content out there that you are bound to get distracted.

c) https://www.hackerearth.com/search/search-results/?q=python - This link hosts the previous challenges hosted by various companies on python and can act as a solid validation test of your skills. However, one still needs to remember that if your final goal requires using python as just a tool, then knowing the very fundamental basics and learning on the go may be a better idea.

d) https://www.techgig.com/skilltest/python - Another cool website with the concept of badges and minimum eligibility score in order to take the test of next level which can keep you inspired.

These are some of the good finds that I came across, while there are a lot more such websites to explore I believe if one passes all these test, they are qualified enough to proceed further in their learning path.

If you have finished and followed the article, by now you have -

a) Overview of a learning path to follow for Computer Vision

b) Basic Skills of the fundamental Tool - Python

Proceeding ahead, you can try out one interesting project of your choice to implement the python learning.
