This project is my first full coding project. I really only know the fundamentals of Python, so it has already been and will be a challenge. I am an avid lover of sports, so the starting point for this project will be a simple application that shows the score and boxscore, standings and team stats for your favorite teams. This is by no means a novel concept, but I think it will be fun learning opportunity.

My goal is to keep building onto this project, using my improvement ideas to guide me to what to learn next. I want to start with a simple output of data. From there, possible improvements include adding drill downs into more historical and player specific stats, create a user interface, implement user-customization, and even a web and mobile platform.

As a total beginner, any advice or questions are greatly appreciated. You can reach me on Twitter [@brettlyCD] (https://twitter.com/brettlyCD)

All data is collected from open sources. Ultimately, all information belongs to the respected leagues of play. This project is not to capitalize on or gain monetary value from this data. Just to create a fun resource.
