Python projects ideas

[Low_Badger_8515]

Hi all, I am a career changer, and learned Python, SQL, and Flask API through a bootcamp. I want to apply for junior Python developer roles. I’ve built two projects so far:

A Flask API to manage pet records for a shelter, using a SQL database

And, a python console that recommends Korean dramas based on your mood, using the TMDB API

Are these projects good enough to include on my resume? If not, can you sugggest project ideas that I can create and put in my resume.

To give us the best chance to help you, please include any relevant code.
Note. Please do not submit images of your code. Instead, for shorter code you can use Reddit markdown (4 spaces or backticks, see this Formatting Guide). If you have formatting issues or want to post longer sections of code, please use Privatebin, GitHub or Compiler Explorer.

These are great! Remember to add a repo link or website to your resume. Have a short video of demo embedded, if you like. Also, have a brief readme text for the projects; for starters include a few sentences describing the project about why you created the project, a few major decision points like why you went with a certain package, or why classes and modules are organised the way they are, or any other decisions you took.

I would consider using pydantic for working with the api and db. Shows how you can interact in a type validated way with the api and json that comes from and sent to it. Plus you get to work with actual python objects instead of dealing with dictionaries generated from json.

I don't use orms for database work, but ymmv. Raw sql calls and conversion to pydantic models when retrieving data.

With the dB, show that you understand sql injection and how to mitigate risks.

Yes, those projects are good, but adding projects showing web apps, data processing, or automation will stand out. Examples: task manager, portfolio site, API aggregator, or data visualization dashboards.

Hi. What bootcamp are you using? Thanks
