03. To-Do List Application Beginner Projects
For a simple, beginner-friendly To-Do List application, you can focus on essential features and make it
console-based. Here's how you can structure it:
1. Basic Features
- Add Task: Users can input tasks with just a name or simple description.
- View Tasks: List tasks, showing completed and pending tasks.
- Mark Task as Complete: Users can mark tasks as done.
- Delete Task: Users can remove a task from the list.
-
Save Data: Use a text file to store tasks so that they're available the next time the
program runs.
2. Workflow
-
Main Menu: Create a basic text-based menu that prompts users to choose what they want to do:
add, view, complete, or delete tasks.
-
Input/Output: Use simple inputs to interact with users and print task lists on the console.
3. Data Storage
- In-memory storage: Store tasks in a list for the current session.
-
File-based storage: Use a text file (like
.txt) or a simple format like CSV to
save tasks and reload them at startup.
4. Error Handling
-
Handle common user errors like adding duplicate tasks, selecting invalid tasks, or trying to delete from an
empty list.
This will give you a solid foundation in Python concepts like lists, file handling, functions, and basic loops.
