Learning A Bit

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Polishing the Wheel

    I am “making” an app with a log in screen, and using Parse as the back end, though this works for any login situation. I wanted a simple way to dismiss multiple view controllers using only code. The key word is “simple”. For some reason I was being stubborn and didn’t want to use a navigation…

  • Why do I do it?

    I have known something for quite some time, but now I am willing to admit it to myself and to whomever is reading this… As my mother would say, I’ve been half assing it. It’s time to commit to taking control of my future. My life isn’t “bad”, I jut know it can be better…
