Learning A Bit

About

Diving Back In. Again…

Well, I allowed my education to take a back seat again… I have relocated to another state, and my goal is to build the skills needed to always get a remote job/career, so I can live anywhere! Fortunately, my progress has not been as stagnant as my postings. I made a page on my GitHub…

PHP, SEO and MySQL Walk into a Bar…

Ok, maybe they don’t walk into a bar, but meet up on a website. In this case, it’s a site for work. This new website has a section for articles, similar to blog posts. Creating the articles and accessing them were “easy” (I will not go into detail about how to access a mysql database…

Python and Python Scripting

This post is being created as an example of an area of concern while I am teaching myself… Am I learning the right stuff? I am beginning to look for a new position, and some employers are looking for “Python Scripting”. It was not a phrase I was familiar with and looked it up, but…

A Lesson Learned Through Pycharm

A couple of years ago, I won a copy of Pycharm, and have been loving it ever since! This is not a paid advertisement, just my own experiences. It took me a long time to discover the following feature, because reading the manual from front to back and finding out the available features is not…

Triumphant over PHP7!

I am not a php developer, but I have built a couple websites that utilize the PHP include statement to make a single instance of an item such as a header or footer and use across the whole site. When php5x was deprecated, the previous statements would no longer work in 7… I consulted with…

Flask Simple Basic Authentication

For my day job, I rebuilt the main site with Python, Flask Flask-SQLAlchemy & SQLite. (I chose SQLite over MySQL for simplicity reasons, but that may be changing) I am using Flask-HTTPAuth to access a few individual pages for admin reasons, so I don’t need to secure the whole site. For the moment, I thought using…

Twilio, a lovely platform

I discovered Twilio a couple years ago when beginning to build my app, Alertyoself. Twilio is a cloud communication platform that handles the difficulty for you. (This is not a paid advertisement, I just really like their service) Recently, I played with their new verification service, and I admit it is pretty nice. To be…

Big Step in FreeCodeCamp!

I have been slacking. I can justify the heck out of it, but that does not change the fact that there is no GOOD reason for being lazy the last 30 days or so. But now that I am getting back in the driver’s seat, a big step has finally been completed on FreeCodeCamp. I…

Backend Check In

Since my last post, I have kept at it, building the backend to my app (and rebuilding the app itself). A lot of time has been taken up by figuring out what to use. I believe I have settled on Alamofire for the network connection to the “API” (quotes are used here because it is not…

Feeling of Accomplishment

A milestone has been reached! I have successfully posted a virtualenv flask app to a web server, able to access it via a domain name, and installed an SSL cert from Let’s Encrypt. My happiness sounds more dramatic than it is, but i was stuck on getting the app hosted for longer than I want…
