I wrote about my experience developing my app idea during my time in the Pybites Developer Mindset Program on the Pybites blog. Considering I've been a long time listener and fan to the podcast, I never thought I would be writing for their blog!

It has been more than a year since I updated this blog and it seems to me that I have not practiced persistance like I should have. I re-read blog post #17 Persistence and felt bad about myself since I did absolutely nothing of what …

HTML5 and CSS3 are the backbone for any website and I didn't know the basics at all. This is one of the reasons I chose to use Pelican and Markdown to write this blog. For some reason, I thought HTML5 would be somewhat …

The last entry was in February of 2021, 6 months ago. A lot has happened in the world, but I personally feel like not much has happened to me and I unfortunately stopped updating this blog. I returned to my workplace back in the beginning or middle …

I've been working on a couple different topics these past couple of weeks and now I think it was a bad idea to spread myself thin. I hadn't been able to make a blogpost of a topic in depth.
Here are some of the things …

I actually learned how to use some of the basics of pyplot last week, but this blog post is a little delayed due to the previous long Pelican posts.
For my current job, we are creating plots from csv files and would like to display them …

The initial set-up of pelican wasn't the difficult part. You can get a basic static site up and running, but I wanted to get fancy with some of the configurations. Below are the main configurations I messed with before deploying my static site on github pages …

After finallly understanding what was wrong with how I was using the virtual environment, I thought it wouldn't be too difficult getting this pelican blog up and running. I was wrong.
Installing pelican wasn't too difficult and the pelican …

I was attempting to get Pelican static site generator to work on VSCode so I could move this blog to a static site that I put together (put together as in 'I set-up and didn't fork over from Github').

I've found more SQL practice to try on Hackerrank and after going through the Udemy course. There were some tricky problems and I did get more practice with commands I didn't get to practice too much with like DISTINCT and I found that …

I use Hackerrank as practice tool to practice python since September 2020. I am the type of learner that needs a lot of practice to be proficient in something so hackerrank had been a good website to use when there wasn't many exercises in the textbooks I …

It has been awhile since I've posted anything on this blog with the last entry as Sept 3rd. Kind of sad to show I have some difficulty continuing this blog that should be important to document how I am learning how to program. It's also …

I am 130 pages into the "Self-Taught Programmer" book by Cory Althoff and found that it is very sparse on the details. So far this book looks more like a 'crash course' compared to the the Python crash course book I previously read most of. I am a …

Learning by yourself can be difficult. When you're stuck, google is your friend and stackoverflow helps if you understand some of the words. I've gone through most of the basic things to know in Python from the Python crash course book. So far, I think …

Self-teaching has been a bit difficult. At least two weeks have passed since the last post. I've had problems staying motivated after looking at the chapter dealing with functions in Python Crash Course. I've also been furloughed again from the start of August, which …
