Extra care on technical language use #101
Description
We are all tempted to call python elements with their technical definition, but I think we should put extra care of not using terms that have not been introduced in the course, and therefore would result incomprehensible by the audience (especially if many are used in the same sentence and the audience has no previous experience into programming). For example:
- object (in the technical python way it is intended);
- method (instead of function) and (object) attributes;
- iterable;
- masking (this could be rephrased);
- ...
We could also decide to create a basic vocabulary of technical words (with examples) for the course, maybe with a cheatsheet of all the functions used.
