I Lied

I lied. Back in Post number one ( click here to see it ), I implied that I was just another old geezer learning Python. I kind of promised that I would take readers along with me on this senior citizen's journey while learning the language. But then I went off on my own without logging my journey. It went fast. Part of the reason is that some 40 years ago I was a computer engineer. I coded in something called, "assembly language" ( never mind ) and even soldered in the digital logic chips into the hardware. So it was misleading to say I knew nothing about computers or software engineering and I would be advancing at the speed of a complete noob. In 1980 I joined the "Dark Side" as they say in the Star War movies. Rather than staying in the tech world, I went to law school.  I haven't coded much since then. I lost touch with the coding world. Much has changed in the interim. Today we have all these free and wonderful YouTube videos that teach all manner of ...

Everything From Everywhere All At Once -- Doesn't Fly

 Greed. That's the in-your-face word describing why self-taught coder wanna be's like me (wanna learn Python) get too close to the sun , melt, fall, and fail to reach their goal. There are just too many free and great tutorials available on the Internet. The urge is to learn every detail possible about Python all at once. I want to understand that one now. No, I mean that other of infinite aspects now. No. I changed my mind for the Nth time today and found a new superseding desire.  Sundas Khalid characterizes it more politely as "information overload" in her video entitled "Why 99% of Self-Taught Programmers Fail" ( here ). Whatever we call it, it's the road to ruination. We grab for too much chocolate before having gained mastery of the fundamentals. And that applies to my current progress report. I've been jumping all over the place instead of sticking to learning the fundamentals, like getting mastery over the more important string methods, lis...

Git-ten Up to Speed

I'm learning by way of the school of hard knocks that even I, with my very simplistic self-imposed Python project, need help with version control. Let me back up. I created a very simple Python script that asks the user for opinions about various You Tube tutorials, and in the process of collecting answers to queries about the tutorial, starts assembling HTML plus CSS code for posting as a help Tab on my browser. The simple minded script asks the user questions like, 'How many out of 5 stars do you give to the overall quality of this tutorial?' and 'Please copy to the clipboard, the URL of the tutorial and its title'. All these little bits of information get assembled into an HTML/CSS tagged snippet that I want to append to a growing collection of reviews expressed in HTML code. 'Wait a minute,' I said to myself.  (Kudos to Meme-Gen'er) 'Every user input should be tested for validity.' 'And this issue will occur with every future program!...
