Hi everyone! I have been coding in python for a while now, mostly small scripts/projects. I use it at work though my job can hardly be described as SWE, developer or something alike. It has some elements of data engineering, though, and I would like to further go in that direction. Developing my python skills seems crucial for that and my problem is that I don’t really know where I stand. Though CS was part of my education, I know the fundamentals of it though it feels like I have mostly theoretical knowledge. When it comes to coding and python in particular I am mostly selftaught. So to figure out which might be my next steps in learning I would like to get a good idea how good my skills and knowledge actually are. And I thought that PCAP might be a good base to evaluate myself. I understand that it is not of great use as a certificate to show to employers but I maybe it is useful for me to check where I might have missed basics when ‘learning’ through writing scripts using stack overflow and tutorials on certain modules/packages/libraries. What do you think about this idea? Is the curriculum that one needs to learn to pass the PCAP useful as a metric to estimate ones knowledge in the python basics? Any estimation is much appreciated!
