In April 2020 I started a Bachelor in Back-end Development at Winc Academy, which focuses on Python, SQL and DevOps. Update: I succesfully finished the course in June!

During the course I’ve succesfully finished the following assignments:

• Strings (GitHub)
• Files (GitHub)
• Arguments (GitHub)
• SuperPy (GitHub)
• Betsy Webshop (GitHub)

SuperPy

From the Barcode.py class:

from functions.export import make_missing_dir

    """Generates a valid EAN13 barcode with checksum
    Stores a barcode image in PNG-format to a barcodes directory
