100 Days of Python, Project 081 – Morse Code Generator #100DaysofCode

I feel like these last 19 projects are more complex and should get their own post each.  Just skimming over what they are, they all seem to be quite a bit more complex than a lot of the previous projects, and they also are given no help or instruction, just "Make X". I wanted to comment a bit briefly on the course as a whole so far though.  I've really enjoyed it, and I have lots of idea of projects I WANT to do, and I have started on a few, but I'm doing my best to force myself to…

100 Days of Python, Projects 71-80 (but not really) #100DaysofCode

Ok, I'm going to be frank here. I'm skipping most of the Data Analytics portion of this course.  It's 9 Lessons, Day 71-80.  It is all done using Google Colab Notebooks, it's all extremely, extremely, extremely, repetitive, yet I am not really feeling like I am learning anything. Every lesson amounts to, Open this Google Collab Notebook, which is a new and... interesting tool, I guess it's similar to a Jupyter Notebook.  It's basically, running "code" in weird choppy step by step chunks.  Each lesson amounts to. Open a provided CSV file. Make a Graph Format the Graph. Maybe do…

100 Days of Python, Projects 66-70 #100DaysofCode

Whew, I didn't really think I'd get to 9 parts in this series, and I am only around 2/3rds of the way through even.  I actually may change up the format later with the last 20 projects that are listed as "Professional".  Maybe one post each. The bulk of this round is wrapping up the Flask projects and building a simple blog that runs on Python.  It's been fun.  I've been a bit busier than normal slow my pace has slowed, but that's ok too.  Day 66 in particular felt like it took longer than it really should have, given…

100 Days of Python, Projects 58-65 #100DaysofCode

Judging by the comments on the lessons, The lessons are getting harder, though frankly, I am finding they are a bit easier.  I feel like my experience with Web Design is a lot of this.  I also have been looking a bit into how to properly host some of these apps to share here, on my Code Projects Page.  I believe I could set them up to run on a production Flask environment, with different ports, then just map sub directories n the domain to different ports. But I am doing my best not to get distracted.  Yes, I have…

100 Days of Python, Projects 54-57 #100DaysofCode

Back to web development again, but with a different twist this time.  Instead of scraping things, we're learning Flask, to produce little Python based Websites.  In doing these exercises, I find I am kind of wondering why one would use Python over say, Apache, or NGINX or even IIS.  I can sort of see where it's useful, and maybe later we will get to more of it's usefulness.  My primary issue is that the HTML code part of it ends up being VERY specifically Flask based.  Like flask looks for images and CSS in specific folders.  Plus if you use…
