We’ve looked at decision statements in flowcharts and pseudo-code before. Now we want to look at how to build them in Python. Decisions are very important because they allow you to skip over a section of code that isn’t relevant to you. In its most basic format, an if statement in Python follows the following…
Over the years, I’ve built many websites. The most successful projects always started with a good plan. Who was the audience, is there special things that they will be looking for, what are they going to need to do. I’ve mentioned user personas as a great way to start to get a feel for what…
Over the years, I’ve built many websites. The most successful projects always started with a good plan.

Responsive Webdesign has been around for a little while, and most modern websites are created using it. The idea is different CSS is used for some, or all, of the website based upon the screen size. This is done through a media query. This way, the exact same webpage can be used – but look…
We’re also going to look at some initial things that help make coding in Python easier. Multi-line lines of code The first issue is what to do if a line of code starts getting really long. In Python, by default, the line of code ends when you move to a new line. However, you can…
We want to look at performing some simple math in Python. To do so, we’ll first look at our last example from our introduction to Python examples. We took in a number, but in reality, we took in a string that had numbers in it. If we want to treat the value as a number,…
Often when talking to, or about, programming you’ll hear the term Input, Processing, and Output. It’s kind of the big three in programming, and how we often work. We get some input, from a file, a user, etc… then we process that information, or data if you prefer, and then we provide some output either…
Writing a class or two doesn’t seem to create that big of a problem, and for simple projects it’s not. However, this isn’t effective for large projects with dozens, if not hundreds, of Classes. That’s where packages come into play. A Java package is a way to both logically and physically organize your Java code….
