Python : Raspberry Py

By

Hello World, I have recently come across a super awesome programming language called Python, oh dear god, it is awesome. Its free, versatile, and so many projects use it. I've been self-teaching my self via online tutorials and books, the best way is to do it. I first learned about the language when I came across the Raspberry Pi , which is a revolutionary. Its a product or creating an affordable, many ways portable computer. So many amazing things are happening with it, from DIY Weekend projects, to people creating computer labs in 3rd world countries, the possibilities are endless. You can read about so many of the projects on their official   Raspberry Pi Blog , they also have super cool magazine called The MagPi which you can subscribe to receive a physical or a digital version of the monthly magazine, which is also filled so many goodies. Another cool thing is the fact that you can use Python to create things, modify things on the Raspberry Pi. Finding out about...

Sonic-PI : programming music.

By
Hello World, This is super interesting. When I'm not IT-ing, I'm usually doing something music related, either practicing or performing with one of my friends. Its mostly acoustic/live instruments. Then a friend of mine (also a musical techie) sent me a link to Sonic-Pi . I wasn't sure what it was for, then I watched the video that's on the site, and I got REALLY excited, and I had to share it. Dr Sam Aaron basically developed a language, using the Raspberry Pi's Python kernel as the basis, and it actually allows you to CREATE music, via programming, its brilliant. I can see this being a hit in both the Computer Science and in the Music Class, especially for the younger generation. In a way its stimulating both sides of your brain, the Analytical side (programming), and the Creative side (music). Check it out at Sonic-Pi.net , its very cool. Keep on tech-ing everyone. -Ash

Python Projects : Rock Paper Scissors Game v1

By
Hello World,  Today, I'm introducing my first Python game, I was online looking for good beginner python projects, and one that came up was to create a "Rock Paper Scissors" game. I did some more searching and found a couple of videos online, but each one went about it in a different way, so I decided to think through it my self. I'm happy to say that I was able to create this 1st version . You play against the computer, which randomly chooses one of the 3 choices. You play 3 times per round, and with each choices it tells you who one. And at the end of each round, you can choose to play another round. What I don't have. A scoring mechanism. I haven't figured that part out, yet. But I do have an idea that I will try soon. I'm pretty excited I made this, and I can't wait to add that scoring mechanism. I hope you enjoy it. Remember.
