Flaskin it
Another tutorial down! This time from Teamtreehouse.com, the Flask basics. I found this one to be very useful. We learned (obviously) the basics of Flask-building websites and how to pass in variables, with and without query strings. How to display said variables in the page, and to apply logic within the page itself. HTML templates,…

Posting slips away…
It has been too long since my last post… I have been spending time working my way through a python tutorial. Yesterday I decided to abandon it. That decision was not made lightly because of the time I had invested in it. As I took a step back and looked over the remaining content and musing…

Talking about git. Again
Sometimes it takes a few times to do something, or screw something up, for it to sink in… Today we are are going to re-hash the importance of git, or of any version control system. And more specifically, using it properly. I may have mentioned my app, AlertYoSelf, that I have on the Apple App…

More with Udemy and Python
Another tutorial has fallen before me!!! This time, I have taken down REST APIs with Flask and Python. This one was more enjoyable than the previous course. I felt it was more on point for the description, but we also went down a possibly “unneeded” rabbit hole. (These opinions may be coming from my inexperience as…

Udemy and a MySQL course…
Last night I “completed” The Complete MySQL Developers Course on Udemy. It should have been called “The Complete MySQL and PHP Developers Course”. It involved a LOT of PHP, that is a path I am not ready to travel. Quotes were used around completed because I didn’t attempt to fully comprehend the PHP portion. I get the concepts…

Manual Labors
Yesterday I added an aspect of learning that has gone unused for far too long… I tried something new away from the computer! Crazy, right?!?!? I installed a garbage disposal. And part of me actually enjoyed it. I am not a homeowner so I would not have to deal with these kinds of issues. But…

La Petit Errors
Let me say, there is probably no such thing as a tiny error. The devil is in the details. And apparently the bane of my existence… Recently, two tiny, major errors caused me to waste time on items I should not have. The first error involves modifying a tutorial. For project details, you can see it here.…

Completion! (Mostly…)
Looking back over some the items I have been trying to learn, I have decided to narrow my focus. It has been getting waaaaay too broad. Primarily, I am cutting out data analytics and Docker for now. I need to figure out how to use the current tools well before jumping in to specialty items…

edX Comes to the Rescue
After deciding to not complete (and pay for) the 30 Days of Python, I turned my sights back to edX! I have started the course Using Python for Research, and have just completed the homework for week 2. The homework for week 1 threw me for a loop, and to be honest, I did not complete…

30 Days of Python
Today I am starting 30 Days of Python by Coding for Entrepreneurs. It may not take me 30 whole days, as I have a little python experience and some of it may be review. I will not rush through any of it. I will complete it, while making the best of the experience alongside some…
