Connecting Python scripts to Firebase Web-App ?

Aaron Canty — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 13:14:44 +0000

Hey guys,

Bit of an issue - I'm building a website for a project and in the site, I need to have visualisations, and a chat bot (that are done already as python scripts) on the site. I'm using Firebase at the moment for hosting the site. Is there a way I can run the python visualisation inside the site? No idea where to go. I've looked online at documentation and from what I can see, google cloud will be able to run the scripts once I containerize them.

Are there any tutorials I can look at that will help me with this? Totally lost.

I'm using JavaScript for the programming for the site.

Thanks all

Why am I finding C so difficult?

Hi folks,

Heading into the final few weeks of my last semester of year 2 at university and it's okay.

The one thing that is breaking my brain more than other modules, is the C module. Not sure why I'm finding it so difficult but it's mind boggling! I get the idea of pointers, structs, memory allocation, etc. but I just can't bring it all together to develop a clear or even a basic understanding of the language.

I think it's because I was spoiled - the last 2 years we've been doing Java, JS and Python mostly so it's been very high level and I didn't need to worry about things like the above. We're doing linked lists now and while I get the concept of a linked list, implementing them in C is a different ballgame entirely.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? If so, any tips to make C more palatable?

Thanks gang!

How much of a life should I have as a student?

I must preface this with, nobody really has a life at the moment but in general:

What should my day look like if I'm doing software development?

Study and that's it?

Should I be pulling apart code all day?

Am I supposed to be at this stuff from morning 'til night?

Not complaining, just genuinely curious 😂

Do you have a go-to list of resources for development?

A friend in university told me that he has one, made through g-mail and g-mail filters. I'd never thought of making one. I have a bookmarks folder with one or two things but having a go-to list of ideas/techniques/tutorials would be amazing.

Do you have one?

How do you make yours?

One thing you love and not love most about your dev career?

I only have a few months experience and that's in college, not in a job but I already love this industry. I can tell it's going to be a rewarding career!

Do you think I'm right? Am am I disillusioned?

Tell me why 😁

Hi from Ireland!

I'm Aaron, a first year in Munster Technological University Cork (formerly CIT), Ireland.

I'm doing my BSc in Software Development and am sure I'll enjoy this community.

We're mainly doing Python right now and I'm really enjoying it, if not a little intimidated.
