Hello! My name is Julia and I am Software Test Analyst.

I have recently started to learn Pyhton, and although I think it will take me some time to understand it properly, I am actually enjoying it! I am really excited to start making projects from some ideas I have in mind :)

Hi Julia,

Is python your first programming language? If so, good choice! After you get to grips with the basics, May I suggest two tiny frameworks, great to get you started depending on your project: Flask is a small web framework, and Click can help you to write CLI apps.

Apart from that, try to understand virtualenv and requirements.txt. They are simple tools and they will change your #pylife!

Hello. Julia, I am Mattie and I think my brains is twisted in a knot learning Portfolio, Code Pen developing, writing a book and continuing with writing my poetry. I will good night, I have now been awake 36 hours.

Thank you; however, I am not sure how long I will be here. Being my true self, the overachiever, I think I bit off more than I can chew this time. Should I learn to code before becoming too involved with Portfolio or vice versa?

Ok, now I need to go change the setting in the computer because this is what I get when I type an apostrophe (è), question mark (É). Windows 10 Pro is not a user friendly OS.

Will be back in a few days; however, I think I will play around with Python after resetting the keyboard.

Hope all is safe from the hurricane.

Hi Julia,

Nice to see you here!

I am also actually studying Python right now. And I am very excited to start to study Machine Learning. I think about that.

Hey Julia, take a look at Julia language, it's like Python. But since you share its name you can become an SME. Only kidding please stick to what you know and enjoy learning it.

Welcome!

Any tips on doing Test-Driven Development (TDD)? Have been thinking of going that direction in a while.

Hello, do you have a specific project in mind to implement such method.? As far as see the TDD is very useful for projects with medium - high complexity, specially when multiple people will touch the code and changes are not allowed to even move the production source code out of the expected.

If your project has a testing framework, the TDD will mean that you first write test cases and then functional code. It is nice to see the test cases failing at first and letting you know when you are doing wrong

Hi Julia, i can suggest you a very cool framework that i recently discovered called Masonite.

I used to coding in php with Laravel and this one i am suggesting to you is very similar to that one.

Here you can find more about masonite if you interested in knowing
