Okay, so let us set up a simulation for
the final project of this course.
0:04
I am gonna stitch together
a bunch of your skills and
0:10
we'll build a pretty solid application.
0:12
Let us pretend that all of the remaining
cast members of the comedy group,
0:15
Monty Python, are going to get together
and do a question and answer session.
0:18
They're gonna be discussing
what it's like for
0:22
them as a comedy group, to have jokes
that they made over three decades ago
0:24
still referenced in Python tutorials and
code examples.
0:28
It would be such an amazing discussion,
because surely,
0:30
they didn't see that coming.
0:33
They have a very strong fan base,
alive and well,
0:34
in this programming language subgroup.
0:37
Now, let's also imagine, since they're
funny like this, that they want to have
0:39
the only way that you can buy tickets,
is through a single python script.
0:43
No website, no app.
0:46
Just a single console app.
0:48
You can only buy tickets using a command
line program where no one would expect it.
0:50
Spain, in a cheese shop.
0:54
You've been tasked with
writing that program.
0:57
Sound fun?
There are some very specific instructions
0:59
and I've gone and
captured them for us in a tool.
1:02
Let's walk through
the product requirements.
1:05
So this is Trello.
1:07
It's a free tool and it works really
great for keeping track of tasks.
1:09
There are many different ways
to build an application.
1:13
And I figured that we take a quick look
at one of my personal favorites, Scrum.
1:17
Now, if you'd like to learn more about
Scrum, check the teacher's notes.
1:22
Scrum encourages you to break down
requirements from your client
1:25
into what are known as user stories.
1:29
And they are a great way to
make sure that developers and
1:32
the client understands what they are
building together and for what purpose.
1:35
Now, I've gone through already and
written them out for
1:41
this project and
they're in the format like I have here.
1:43
So, as a role, or user in case,
I should be able to and
1:46
then basically whatever the request is,
so that business reason.
1:51
I'm going to use Trello as a task board.
1:56
Some teams actually use sticky
notes in their office and
2:00
they move stories from to do,
in progress and then to done.
2:03
Anyone in the office can walk up
to the board and move it over.
2:07
So people don't end up
working on the same code.
2:09
Trello just does this online for us.
2:12
We'll introduce ways for you to work and
share code with your team mates,
2:15
as you continue through these courses.
2:18
Check the teacher's notes for more.
2:20
But for now, we're just gonna
use this like a task list.
2:22
The different columns are different
states that are ticket could be in.
2:25
Backlog is just all of the request
that ever came in for this project.
2:28
So we'll move stuff that we agree that
we can do to the to-do column and
2:33
then we'll work through those.
2:37
We'll leave ones that we're not ready for
yet in the backlog.
2:39
Now I find that this really helps me
keep focus on the task at hand and
2:43
I can get a birds-eye
view of all that is left.
2:47
Does it sound good?
2:50
Why don't we take a read through
these tickets that I built?
2:50
Okay, so this first one here.
2:54
As a user, I should be showing
the number of tickets left remaining, so
2:55
I can understand
the importance of buying now.
3:00
That makes sense.
3:02
Gotta give them a little bit of FOMO.
3:04
As a user,
I should have a personalized experience so
3:07
that I feel welcome by the brand.
3:10
Cool, I'll have to get to know
what their name is I guess, right?
3:13
As a user, I should have errors
reported in a user friendly manner.
3:16
That is totally true of just
about every application.
3:19
I'm glad this is a ticket.
3:23
We can work through that one.
3:24
As a user, I should be able to
request a certain amount of tickets.
3:25
Like how many you wanna buy and
be told the total cost, so
3:28
that I can determine if I
wanna purchase the tickets.
3:31
Okay, that makes sense, we can do that.
3:33
As a user,
I should be able to confirm my order so
3:36
that I do not accidentally purchase
more tickets than intended.
3:38
You would hate to have somebody
actually buy 1,000 tickets, right?
3:40
And then finally,
as a user I should not be
3:45
offered tickets if they're aren't any
available, that would be horrible.
3:47
Who'd wanna sell something
when you're out of it, right?
3:50
So there are limited amounts of seat
to this performance that we're having.
3:53
And as a user I should be able to
purchase using credit cards and Bitcoin.
3:57
Wow, that is out of our scope right now,
we're not gonna get to that one.
4:01
But, I do feel pretty good
about these to do tickets,
4:05
I think we can knock all of these out.
4:08
Sound like fun?
4:10
You can totally build this.
4:11
Let's get started,
right after this quick break.
