Day 2 Recap Yesterday was my second day at the Recurse Center. Here’s some bullet points: Missed my first official check-in (1 p.m.) by 7/8 minutes as a result of Trader Joe’s grocery shopping .

A little background: I have only been programming for several months now and the only language I have focused on is Python. In my honest opinion…
Upcoming Python projects
So this past week I have been thinking up ideas of things I should try building on my own from scratch. So far I have built about ten or more games ranging from a calculator to a Rock, Paper, Scissors game. I’m going to try to build these next programs completely on my own without…

I met an artist that combined his photography skills with code that transformed the pictures he captured of people on the street into something that seemed very much unreal. One thing I did wish they had though was a…

Codecademy Pro. is. Awesome.
WARNING: I am rereading this a day later and realize I sound like a child hype on sugar. Raw emotions down below. Proceed. So about four days ago I paid for Codecademy pro after reading somewhere about their final projects. Once I bought it, I loved it. I love building actually projects and understanding them….
