Code Academy

I didn't do much on Monday for reasons but here are my thoughts on code academy. Keep in mind that I knew a little python to begin with and I am only 50% complete with the course but at first the lesson was pretty slow and at some points it was pretty quick but that isn't a very big problem. It's nice how it has background on every problem and it gives real world examples. Probably the best thing about it is that it's interesting because it's really hard to learn something that's boring to read.

Code Academy

I continued with my Python and it has been more practice with dictionaries and loops which is good I think because I need it. I now better understand how to use for loops when applied to lists and dictionaries, there was one problem that I thought was challenging where I had to loop through a grocery list and decrease the stock by one. Anyways, I was a little confused on how to loop through a dictionary or list but I get it fairly well now. Also, I will work on check it out tomorrow because I was feeling sort of lazy after break.

On Monday and Tuesday I was mainly working with lists which was pretty easy, they are what they sound like and they were not too confusing although I mess up the index of them a lot. Sometimes I forget about the zeroth element or like one time when I was told to separate a string with "catdogfrog" and when I sorted it I printed "rog" instead of "frog". That was an easy unit though.

On Wednesday I was introduced to for loops which are pretty easy right now but I imagine will get harder. I mess up the indents a lot though which is really frustrating but whatever.

Thursday and Friday I learned about dictionaries which is a pretty tough concept when combined with for loops but I am slowly making progress.

Python

I don't really know what I should be doing but I have been working on learning some python to better understand peewee so I can continue with that, but if you want I can do something else. Anyway, I'm more than a quarter done with the code academy tutorial and that's about it.

Peewee

I got peewee but I don't quite know how to use it so I went to code academy to learn python. I finished unit 3, I think it's good to learn python because I never really learned much at YHS

Peewee

I looked at the peewee link you provided in your last comment and I also read some of a wikipedia page for object-relational mapping. The wiki page makes a little sense to me and the beginner tutorial for peewee is pretty fast paced because i think it's assumed that the reader knows python to a good extent but I understood some of it. Anyways, it seems very useful and I will continue looking at it.
