Status Updates From Penguin Random House Python...

So excited to start fun projects!!

Wow, a whole intro into web development with Python. Django, the tech that powers Instagram, NASA, and many other high profile startups and websites now within reach.

Two web development chapters left, and I'm finishing this interesting book.

After finishing the sought after API chapter, I get to do the final project: A web based Python app with the Django framework.

RAWH

Finally, I wondered for long how to do what I'm about to learn, which is begin handling the data returned from APIs programmatically. I just finished plotting datasets, which has no trivial applications, really... Sadly, I'm almost reaching the end of the book, perhaps in a couple of weeks? But I'll be sure to revise this cornerstone information as a reference.

But I'll be sure to revise this cornerstone information often (daily for a little while?)

After the visualization section comes Chapter # 16 which deals with visualizing external sources. Gleefully, the next one is mighty since it deals with APIs, can't wait.

Finally, beginning chapter 15 - Generating data. I already published a game in itch.io following the last chapter's code...

After a good while working with the cogs of the Alien Shooter game, I'm getting to its last part: A simple scoreboard.

Then, again with working with data and web development.

Hello python world!!! 🌎

دوباره برگشتم به خوندن این کتاب بعد از این همه استراحت دادن به خودم و با یهتمرین به مشکل خوردم پس از

کمک خواستم و برای هزارمین بار از هوش مصنوعی ناامید شدم، شاید چون رایگانه ، نمی‌دونم!
فثط به درد سرچ کردن و خلاصه اخبار روز می‌خورن!

Delving deeper into the alien shooter game development project.

ذوق و شوقم برای کتاب های تئوری خیلی متفاوت تر از نوع داستانی‌شه =))))

Finally, the basics are over.
I did the final tests with the help of AI (wink)

Now, on with part II - Projects (beginning with a game, of all things)

Ch 11 - Testing your code

As of late, in this recap of the basics, I learned how to handle files, including json data, which opens the door to interacting with other programs.

Now, I'm about to learn how to test my code for bugs.

Ready to work with files and handling errors while doing so.

Just the next chapter and I'll get to projects, which are definitely what I need to learn: some fun, handling data, APIs and an intro to web development with the language.

Very helpful & easy to follow

Chapter 9: Classes - A staple of modularity through object oriented programming.

变量名只能包含字母、数字和下划线。变量名可以字母或下划线打头，但不能以数字打头，例如，可将变量命名为message_1，但不能将其命名为1_message。

Ch 8: Functions, making code reusable.

Modularitynin critical to avoid being redundant and to code elegantly.

Ch. 7. User input and while loops

It's a flexible behavior when programs respond to a user's request, and it's what we see often (else they can just run in the background)

你编写的大多数程序都将直接在文本编辑器中运行，但有时候，从终端运行程序很有用。例如，你可能想直接运行既有的程序。
在任何安装了Python的系统上都可以这样做，前提是你知道如何进入程序文件所在的目录。为尝试这样做，请确保已将文件hello_world.py存储到了桌面的python_work文件夹中。

离开计算机，先休息一会儿，再尝试。别忘了，在编程中，语法非常重要，即便是少一个冒号、引号不匹配或括号不匹配，都可能导致程序无法正确地运行。请再次阅读本章相关的内容，再次审视你所做的工作，看看能否找出错误。

Ch. 6 - Dictionaries

I can solve many problems, mine and others, with code. By now, I can picture many of these.

I'm interested in dictionaries mainly as an artisan way, so to say, to handle data from external sources of data, making it usable.

Good so far

A great introduction to the language, with thorough exercises, which also prepare the coder for the second part of the book, which is about practical projects.

L'ultima parte del libro è sul web framework django per creare applicazioni web. Tra le applicazioni di python presentate in questo libro ai miei occhi il web development è la meno interessante e se vogliamo noiosa, preferisco l'analisi dei dati e la loro visualizzazione ed il game development, anche se in quest ultimo ambito python è divertente da usare ma non è l'ideale.

Completata la seconda parte dei progetti che prevede lo studio dell'analisi dei dati e la loro visualizzazione. Vengono introdotte diverse librerie per visualizzare i dati come matplotlib e plotly. Viene fatto un accenno alla libreria per l'analisi dei dati pandas, poi viene introdotta la libreria requests per gestire le API call. Direi una buona introduzione, ma ogni libreria richiederebbe settimane di studio.

Completato il primo progetto che richiedeva lo sviluppo di un gioco tipo Space Invanders con la libreria pygame. Il codice fornito passo passo è preciso, non ci sono errori. Il libro introduce bene la libreria anche se per il corretto utilizzo di pygame è necessaria molta pratica e la documentazione online. Un limite di pygame sono le collesioni, difficili da gestire specialmente per realizzare un platform.
