CodeGym is an interactive learning platform that breaks down Python standard library functions into digestible, atomic exercises. Think Duolingo meets LeetCode, but focused on building solid fundamentals before tackling complex algorithms.

Features:

  • Interactive lesson system with theory, breakdown, and exercises
  • 5 initial lessons: len(), sum(), max(), min(), range()
  • Multiple exercise types: fill-blank, match-output, multiple-choice, order-steps, code-completion
  • Real-time code editing with Monaco Editor
  • Progress tracking and user statistics
  • Modern tech stack: FastAPI + React + Vite + Tailwind CSS

Architecture:

  • Backend: FastAPI REST API with SQLAlchemy ORM and SQLite database
  • Frontend: React SPA with component-based architecture
  • Exercise system: Pluggable exercise types with instant feedback
  • Database seeding: Auto-populates with initial lessons on first run

The platform helps developers master Python fundamentals through:

  1. Theory section explaining what, why, and complexity
  2. Breakdown section showing step-by-step internal implementation
  3. Exercise section with hands-on practice in multiple formats

Built as a standalone project to help programmers build muscle memory for Python stdlib functions before diving into algorithmic challenges.
