Python tasks of this week / Tomorrow's lecture
Written on 18.12.2023 14:26 by Ben Stock
Dear all,
fortunately, Simon could take over the Python lecture for me today. It is very unfortunate that I was unable to do them myself, but I am certain he did a great job to replace me last minute. Since the lacking lecture last week means we had to cut down the introduction to requests and JSON to a bare minimum, we have decided to make all tasks which were released this week optional. This reduces the overall amount of points by 8, i.e., the passing bar for Python is also down by 4 points.
In addition, there are three more security challenges which have been released today. These also do not count towards the required points, but provide additional 7 points. That is, in all, you can now score up to 103 points (which needing only 44 to pass). Beware: these challenges may require a bit of playing around with them to solve. We even had to implement a crazed JavaScript/CSS-based difficulty indicator for one of them :-) I strongly urge you to not attempt them unless you already finished all others.
Note that the regular tasks are due in the second week of January, whereas the security ones will remain open until the end of the lectures (Feb 5).
Hope to see you tomorrow - assuming nothing dramatic happens and I can give the lecture, it will be worth attending :-)
