What I've learned

• Python - Advanced decorator, descriptor and context manager usage. Gained more familiarity with standard library modules like functools or contextlib
• PyQT - QSS files and stylesheets, QtDesigner, QtSlots - mouse tracking, QStackedWidget, QInputDialog and many more...
• Cryptography - hashing and symmetric encryption by deriving a key from "master password"
• SQL/MySQL - table relationships, unique keys, proper way to handle SQL injection
• VCS and GitLab - pre-commit hooks, continuous integration, git rollbacks,...

Preview
