24 February 2020 Weekly Update
Weekly Update
This was a very, very dense week. Without the slow rolling course content taking up most of my free time, I got a great deal of codewars challenges done for fun/challenge. I started to see patterns between kata of the same level so I moved up to 7kyu katas to try to up the challenge a little, and did quite well. Viewing the solutions after finishing the problems is almost as important as doing them, as I’ve learned a great deal of shortcuts and base python functionality I previously didn’t know existed just viewing others implementations.

Weekly Update
As inactive as this website may seem, if you look into the content of the previous post, I was using it as a checklist of work I was completing, and it has quite a few updates to the Amazon Scraper. That being said lately I’ve probably written the most code/day of my life, check out my github here to see.

Python: Amazon....API Scraper?
So I was working on the GUI for the Amazon Scraper today, and was doing some small things to make it more stylistic/intuitive, at this point just trying to pull the scraped product title into the graph as the graph title instead of it simply reading “Live Graph” for a heading. While doing so I suddenly had this error occur:

Python: Amazon Price Scraper
So Christmas is on the horizon and I thought it would be a fun side project / good break from all of the very low level C code to make a price scraper for Amazon. I followed a tutorial by Dev Ed on youtube which you can find here. Now this was a usable program but it had a few issues I wasn’t sure I could live with so I sat out to make this program into something I and others may be more comfortable using. I doubt I will be able to fix all of these problems, I have 0 experience with python, but I will post an extensive list and mark off those that I have fixed thusfar here.

C: Control Structures
The beginning of this chapter focuses a great deal on pseudocode and control structures, for practice I will be writing pseudocode to pre plan each program added to this post. Also mentioned are control structures, namely sequence, selection and repetition, there are only seven within the base C language. I will do my best to create concrete examples of each control structure type if they are not already included in the exercises.

C: First Simple Programs
This post will contain my takeaways from section 2 of the book, including a few simple commented programs. All code snipets seen within this post are available here.

Beginning with C: Introduction to Computers, the Internet, and the Web
Now I am aware of OSSU, FCC and a few other online learning resources for studying outside of my coursework, but at this point I have already taken Intro to C, Object Oriented Programming (Intro to Java), and Computer Logic and Organization. Since these classes I have taken a few semesters off, and returning have mainly been completing GEP requirements, as my Computer Science I class is gated behind College Algebra. Semester after next I will be taking Computer Science I, and most of the curriculum will involve programming in C, so I decided to use this textbook as a refresher, and also as a deeper delve into the language, because I have projects in C++ I wish to try in the future, and I know it is introduced at the end of this textbook.
