The Self-Taught Programmer: The Definitive Guide to Programming Professionally

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Learning coding with python is fun!

I've been learning Python especially the practical parts since I bought my first Raspberry pi 3. Of course, I've been interested in learning about computers since way back in the 80s. I've blogged about it before. The first time I touch a real computer was in a military show.

I didn't get the chance to enroll in any computer class before. But, at the back of my mind, I always wanted to learn. Back in the days, when the internet was still new, I heard about java and wanted to learn it. I can't remember if I actually bought any books. It was such a long time ago. I did learn how to create my own websites.

Learning to create my own website was fun too. I don't think blogs exist yet back then. The WYSIWYG website creating software really helps. I guess you could call that learning to code too as I learn about frames, linking, fonts, etc. Which I still am using today!

Piracy was rampant during that time and you could buy 3 CDs of software for just $10 bucks. Yup, I bought tons of them. I even bought hacker CDs. Teaching you how to hack. But, I never actually use any of that. It didn't even work. Lol :p 



A Smarter Way to Learn Python: Learn it faster. Remember it longer.

I might be a 'beginner' in python but I'm not sure why I feel so passionate about it. Maybe, because it's easy to learn. Ok, it's still far away for me to create my own program but just by learning using a few codes here and there is already fun and interesting for me.

The desire to be able to create my own game is definitely part of the reasons. Although, I've actually created some using Scratch. Which is like the WYSIWYG. An easier and quicker way to learn and create your own stuff. Great for the kids!



Coding for Kids: Python: Learn to Code with 50 Awesome Games and Activities

Well, I loved text-based RPG and I'm trying to create one. I came across a website that already has a sample code that you can play with. So, based on that codes I played around and try creating my own text-based RPG game. It took me a whole day just to make things work.

Every time, I found a sample code, I'll play around with it and try out stuff. I find that if I don't do this or practice, I'll actually forget them. Even if just for a few days. I'm not sure if this is normal. I guess, with coding, you need practical practice too?



Visual Studio Code: End-to-End Editing and Debugging Tools for Web Developers

I actually only just started using the Visual Studio Code (main site link). I was checking out the Microsoft python youtube channel and they recommend their viewers to download it. I thought, maybe, I'll try that. I'm glad I did.

I've also been dabbling with WSL aka Windows Subsystem for Linux. I've heard that you can integrate it with VSC. That's another reason, I wanted to try it out. It's definitely a faster and cool way to code and test it out on Linux. Everything in one editor!

Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Now, I'm trying to figure out how to add pictures and sound to my text-based RPG game. Which I'm entitling, "The Adventure of the Brave Warrior". Nothing fancy. Oh, in conjunction with learning python, I also used my knowledge with SmileBASIC 4 for my Nintendo Switch lite.

Coding with SmileBASIC 4 is almost the same with python. Every time, I learned anything new in python, I'll try it out in SmileBASIC. I might have to change some of the code here and there but it basically works the same. 

Nintendo Switch Lite - Gray

Last night, I tried to code a bit of my, Brave Warrior text-based RPG game on my switch lite and it works. Although, it's actually much easier for me to change the font colors, add background music, sprites, etc. I've already learned how to do that.

That's why I love my Switch lite. SmileBASIC 4 (main site) might not be pure python but it's another way for me to practice coding and create my own game at the same time. It's also portable and you can do it anytime and anywhere. Even without internet access!

 I really do hope, that I can learn and use python on my Switch lite one day. The Nintendo Switch is a great educational learning system too!
