I recently applied for a part time teaching positon at a local community college in my area. Part of the job description which I assume was written by an HR person states the job requirements include “technical instruction on topics including object-oriented programming and web-based scripting languages, specifically Java, Dreamweaver and Flash.” While this description is a little confusing they are no doubt looking for someone to teach web development. While I feel that I’m qualified enough to teach HTML,CSS, and PHP, I do wonder if my lack of mastery of the Java programing langage will prevent me from landing this job?
If you’ve have been following my blog lately, then you know that I have begun learning python. For the basics of Python I’ve been working my way through Core Python Programming 2nd edition by Wesley J. Chun. It’s a great book and I really enjoy reading it; my favorite parts are the exercises at the end of each chapter. These exercises are meant to reinforce the concepts presented throughout the chapters, but a few of the exercises are to challenge the reader. One such exercises I recently completed was the Rock, Paper, Scissors game.
For the last couple of weeks I’ve been busy learning Python, and as a new python programmer I’ve been reading everything I can find about the language. During my search I’ve come across a few python centric blogs that are worth checking out.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, then you may recall that I’ve been recently trying to learn Python. I’ve been working an a couple of projects, and one has to do with creating a command line twitter client. Below is what I have so far. It’s not much, but I’m still learning the ends and outs of Python.
Over the last few days I have been having flu like symptoms. This has left me either stuck in bed or very lethargic at work. Not wanting to completely waste my time I’ve been actively engaged in learning Python.
Welcome to Robert’s Technology Journal. This is my first post since I’ve decided to start my blog over from scratch again (Don’t ask me why, I don’t know myself). Well to begin I’ve taken the first “Hello World” post from the default Wordpress install and expanded it a little. This will allow me to introduce you to something that I’ve been toying around with the last week or so.
