Django is powerful! (not the movie)
I have almost completed another tutorial on Teamtreehouse.com, it’s called Django Basics. And I have to say, django is a pretty impressive framework. Admittedly, this is the first time I’ve ever used it, or anything like it. Soon, I’ll post the files to github, but part of me feels like that would be cheating. It’s…

A Not Real Place
The other night, I made another step in the journey to learning python, virtualenv has been achieved! Virtualenv is a python version of VMWare or VirtualBox. It allows you to create a virtual environment on your local machine or server and not have to worry about interfering with your base configuration. For reference, I installed…

Bitten by Python
Yesterday, I completed edx’s Introduction to Python for Data Science course. If I may pat myself on the back, I received a perfect score! I audited this course, I did not sign up for the certificate. I will admit, this was a bit easier than I expected, it was completed over the course of about 3…

From the Beginning
I started a new tutorial, The Complete iOS 10 Developer Course by Rob Percival on Udemy.com. It is essentially a recap of his previous course, with the updates for Swift 3 and iOS 10. I made a commit of the infamous To Do List on Github. There is nothing particularly spectacular about this commit, except…

An Admission of Guilt
I have only recently looked up what it means to hash a file. I know, I know… I should be banned from ever being able to download or create anything, ever again! Not to sound like a total noob, I knew it was a file verification system, I just didn’t realize how EASY it was!…

Parse Server Defeated

Plus, (wait for it…), it is also has background jobs!!! The jobs turned out to be considerably less complicated than I thought. It may not be a “proper”…

Why Documentation is So Important
Or why a lack of it could be deadly. A few months ago, I was helping a friend with a project. We were looking for a proof of concept, and didn’t want to build EVERYTHING just to see if it was a good idea. We found out about Company X, and their new product might…

Time Flies…
Wow, it has been just over 2 months since my last post… A lot has happened since then. I have actually started looking for a new job! Instead of complaining about my current situation, I am doing something about it. I have not gone dove into the deep end yet, but I am getting wet,…

Hard Lesson Learned
Sometimes we take things for granted… Often times, it is things we have already completed. Especially in coding. I may have mentioned this before, but version history can be your friend. Only if you invite that friend over, give them some pizza and offer them a drink. If not, version control is just as effective…

Cells aren’t just cells
I was making a table view controller with custom cells. The cells needed to have an image and a new title. There are tutorials of how to subclass the UITableViewCell, but for some reason I didn’t want to go that direction. Then I remember a little app I was playing with where this was accomplished…
