Learning A Bit

About

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…

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…
