"Wrapping up the Cruft - Making Wrappers to Hide Complexity" - Jack Reichelt (PyCon AU 2023)

(Jack Reichelt) When working with students, the goal is to teach them how to think about systems, logic, and problem solving, not just rote memorisation, or copying boilerplate code from an example.
This talk is about how writing wrappers around the cruft can help you present your students with an approachable interface to make learning to program easy, fun, and effective.
