Conditional statments are a large part of writing computer programs and switches. You want to take some sort of input, evaluate it, then take some action based on what the input was. The decision you make about what to do is called a conditional statement. The first conditional statement we will look at is an […]

Python is an Objected Oriented programming language. This means that Python has a data type called objects. Today we will discuss what objects are; how are objects relate to classes; and when you should use objects and classes. What are Objects? Objects are containers that hold a collection of attributes and functions. As an example,

A collection in Python is an object that contains other objects. You can also think of it as a container or a bucket. There are many different kinds of collections contained within the containers module in Python. Today, we will discuss the different kinds of Python Collections/Containers. How to use different kinds of Containers. and

When writing your python code, you will undoubtedly find yourself in a situation where you need to store some structured data. You could just write the data to a file, but that data might take a bit of work to parse later on. Setting up a MySQL server takes a bit of work, and might

There are two types of objects in Python, Mutable and immutable objects. Mutable objects are more flexible in that these objects can be changed in place. Immutable objects are more static and cannot be changed without allocating a new object of the new type or with the new value. In some languages, almost all variables

Creating word clouds in Python is easy thanks to a few open source libraries. Today, we we’ll use the ammueler word cloud library and matplotlib to draw some word clouds. Word clouds are useful visualization tools for looking at the general theme of a document. As a document contains more instances of a given word,

For those who want to do object or face detection, the standard way to do it is with OpenCV. OpenCV is a programming library for Object recognition and is very flexible. You can train it to recognize any number of different objects. For the purpose of this tutorial, I will be using Python3. However, you

Did you know you can host a webpage using nothing but Python code? You don’t have to use things like IIS or Apache. While you may not get all of the same features. When you are trying to write a simple application. Or if you want to host an API, this route is an option

All modern programming languages have the concept of functions or methods. Functions and methods are the same things, but depending on the specific language you are using, they are called one or the other. Functions and methods are one way you can create reusable blocks of code. Then call them over and over throughout your
