I used to read a lot of doom and gloom from the Data Science community on working with dirty databases instead of clean CSV files. Generally I agree with criticism toward how academia handles programming content, but this isn’t a hill to die on at all. On the surface the two seem significantly different because… Continue reading Reading Data from CSV Files and MySQL Queries

For, While, and “Do… While” Loops
Programming can be pretty loopy sometimes, and there are a few different types of primary loops you will encounter. The two most common loops are “for” and “while”. There are a few different reasons why you would use a loop, and I think the most common reason is to work through an array index by… Continue reading For, While, and “Do… While” Loops
OOP: Inheritance
One of the main benefits of using Object Orientated Programming is the class feature. I like to think of class objects as a convenient container I can optimize for the situation.

However, getting information the exact way I want it is kind of a pain. I thought about the… Continue reading Opensource CMS incoming

In order to maintain great traffic ratings I need to be posting daily, and even then great for me is not great for most people. This is kind of a niche field, and I just don’t care enough to… Continue reading Scrapping Migration + NodeJS upgrade
What’s Been Going On
About a week ago I had surgery to patch a flap in my heart. I took it easy for a bit and binged some old movies to relax. As I got my content together I remembered that I changed my API layout to break up content into Application Development or IT. That means I’ve had… Continue reading What’s Been Going On

I’m sorry I have not been writing daily these past few days. I had a patch installed to fix a birth defect in my heart, and I have been taking it pretty easy for the past few days. That being said I finally sat down and got some work done on the new website. In… Continue reading New Site Navigation
