Code Challenge 25 – Notification Service of Now Playing and Upcoming Movies
Blog post from Pybites
A Python coding challenge encourages developers to create a notification service for movies or TV shows, focusing on current and upcoming releases. The challenge offers varying levels of complexity, starting with a basic task of using resources like Fandango or IMDb to track movie releases and notify users, potentially via email or a bot. Intermediate tasks involve adding command line filters for customization, while the advanced level suggests developing a subscription-based web app with user-specific preferences. Participants are encouraged to utilize APIs such as The Movie DB or TheTVDB.com and to contribute their solutions via a Pull Request to the community branch, with featured reviews at the end of the week. The challenge emphasizes continuous learning and creativity without a single best solution, fostering a community of Python enthusiasts.
