Best Python Resources

There are so many resources out there though that it can be difficult to know how to find them.

With our fast-paced ecosystem we tend to spend our time trying the latest inventions and arguing about them on the internet.

What to learn in 2017 if you’re a frontend developer

I’m not saying we shouldn’t do that, but probably we should slow down a bit and take a look at things that don’t change much: they could greatly improve quality and value of our work, and understanding of those new tools. This post is a mix of my experience and my wishes for the New Year. I want to hear your suggestions as much as I want to share mine. Learn how to write readable code Most of our work isn’t in writing new code but modifying existing code. I recommend reading these three amazing books — in this order, from shortest to longest: Learn how to write for humans A big portion of communication with our colleagues and other people are textual: task descriptions and comments, code comments, Git commits, chat messages, emails, tweets, blog posts, etc.

Imagine how much time people spend reading and understanding all that. Learn the old computer science wisdom. SymbolHound: Search Better. Code Better. Visualizing Algorithms. The power of the unaided mind is highly overrated… The real powers come from devising external aids that enhance cognitive abilities.

Visualizing Algorithms

—Donald Norman Algorithms are a fascinating use case for visualization. To visualize an algorithm, we don’t merely fit data to a chart; there is no primary dataset. Instead there are logical rules that describe behavior. This may be why algorithm visualizations are so unusual, as designers experiment with novel forms to better communicate. But algorithms are also a reminder that visualization is more than a tool for finding patterns in data.

#Sampling Before I can explain the first algorithm, I first need to explain the problem it addresses. Light — electromagnetic radiation — the light emanating from this screen, traveling through the air, focused by your lens and projected onto the retina — is a continuous signal.

The alt-right includes nativists, conspiracists, isolationists, Putinists, white nationalists, and masculinists. The alt-right is pessimistic about the ability of people of different races and religions to live together, and is hostile to both legal and illegal immigrants. Alt-right websites warn against the dangers of miscegenation and criticize the pro-life movement as “dysgenic” because it encourages breeding by “the least intelligent and responsible” women.

However, we reserve the right to block any use that we regard as abusive. The Image-Charts API returns a chart image in response to a URL GET or POST request. The API can generate many kinds of charts, from pie or line charts to bar charts and radars. All the information about the chart that you want, such as chart data, size, colors, and labels, are part of the URL. To make the simplest chart possible, all your URL needs to specify is the chart type, data, and size. The preceding link is an example of a basic Chart API URL. All URLs start with followed by the parameters that specify chart data and appearance. Let’s examine the URL above in more detail: Play again. Marketplace. Finder.js.
