The friendly, relaxed programming book
This week, instead of one of the tutorial-type articles I've been publishing recently, I'll go back to basics with an article aimed at those who are new to coding or those who are interested to know more about what this subject really is. Until relatively recently, coding was a subject reserved for a select few.… Continue reading What is coding? Beyond the obvious…
In this week's article, I'll discuss an example of using object-oriented programming in Python to create a real-world simulation. I'll build on the code from the first article in the Bouncing Ball Series, in which I looked at the simulation of a single bouncing ball in Python. This article will extend this simulation to many… Continue reading Bouncing Balls Using Object-Oriented Programming in Python (Bouncing Ball Series #2)
You've probably already learned about defining functions in Python and how to add parameters and return statements. You may even have learned about more advanced features of Python functions. But can you picture exactly what they do and what's really happening behind the scenes when you call a function? In this blog, I'll build on… Continue reading Understanding Python Functions With The Function Room (The White Room Series #2)
Thanks to my daughter's teddy bears/soft toys/stuffed toys/whatever else you may call them, I now have a better understanding of stacks and queues in Python. I'll get back to stacks and queues in a bit to discuss how to implement them, when to use them, and when not. But first, you'll need to meet my… Continue reading Stacks and Queues, Deques, and My Daughter’s Teddy Bears

So yes, this blog is primarily for my own benefit, but if you find some of these posts useful too, then we'll all benefit! What… Continue reading Another Python Blog–Here’s Why
