# pytudes

"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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tude)

This project contains **pytudes**—Python programs, usually short, for perfecting programming skills.

Some programs are in Jupyter (`.ipynb`) notebooks, some in `.py` files. For each notebook you can click on:
- [CO](https://colab.research.google.com) to **run** the file on Colab
- [DN](https://deepnote.com) to **run** the notebook on DeepNote
- [MY](https://mybinder.org) to **run** the notebook on MyBinder
- [NB](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/) to **view** the notebook on NBViewer
- **The title** to **view** the notebook on github, and **download** or **fork** it.

# Etudes for Programmers

I got the idea for the *"etudes"* part of the name from
this [1978 book](https://books.google.com/books/about/Etudes_for_programmers.html?id=u89WAAAAMAAJ)
by [Charles Wetherell](http://demin.ws/blog/english/2012/08/25/interview-with-charles-wetherell)
that was very influential to me when I was first learning to program.
