This hands-on course empowers learners to apply core Python scripting skills to design and construct a fully functional console-based student management system. Through a step-by-step case study, learners will organize control flow using menu-driven programming, manipulate dynamic lists, and validate user input using regular expressions. By building real-world logic from the ground up, learners will demonstrate the ability to solve problems, debug interactive applications, and evaluate code behavior through iterative testing.
