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…

Mmmmmm, Pi……
And another rabbit hole presented itself to me last night, in the form of the Raspberry Pi! They have recently released a new flavor, the Pi Zero W. It has wifi integrated directly on the board! The local Microcenter had them in stock so I picked one up. It works wonderfully! So I decided to see…

Jumping back in…
It has been waaaaay too long since I have posted here, on Github, or written any code (for myself). I had a valid reason for missing posts for a short period of time (I relocated to a different city), but multiple months is inexcusable. The time has come for me to re-orient my mind, and my…

Github revisited
Have you ever had that feeling when you are learning something, and then find out you were doing it wrong, or at least not in the best way? Yeah… I know I was not using Github to anywhere close to its capabilities, and I there are still uses that still need to be uncovered, but…

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!…
