Building an application to manage your to-do list can be an interesting project when you’re learning a new programming language or trying to take your skills to the next level. In this video course, you’ll build a functional to-do application for the command line using Python and Typer, which is a relatively young library for creating powerful command-line interface (CLI) applications in almost no time.

With a project like this, you’ll apply a wide set of core programming skills while building a real-world application with real features and requirements.

In this video course, you’ll learn how to:

  • Build a functional to-do application with a Typer CLI in Python
  • Use Typer to add commands, arguments, and options to your to-do app
  • Test your Python to-do application with Typer’s CliRunner and pytest
