SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
- Python (inc. asyncio)
- Perl
- Apache Kafka

TUTORIALS
I've written 3 parts of my Asynchronous Programming in Python 3 course.
The first Python 3 lesson shows you how to create, and host, a public Python 3 web application FREE.
THINGS
I spend way too much of my spare time creating small coding projects, usually Python-backed web apps, with crude HTML & JavaScript front ends.
As of March 2019 I typically use these frameworks
- Python 3's asyncio library
- AIOHTTP as an asynchronous HTTP library, both client and server.
- Vue.js for user interactivity & Vuex for state management.
- Vim & VS Code by Microsoft for editing code
Below are some of the 100+ projects I've created
- First Tweet allows you to search for the first time some text was mentioned on Twitter.
- Music Deals is a daily updated list of music instrument & professional audio deals in Canada.
- LCBO Deals is a list of the best deals on the Liquor Control Board of Ontario's website.
- .djayMidiMapping is a post about Algoriddim's djay software, and the how to manually edit the .djayMidiMapping XML files to customize a MIDI controller's functionality.
- Juke Nukem is an incomplete JavaScript prototype of a beats-per-minute visualiser for electronic dance music. If you click "play", and wait 40 seconds for the drums to start, you should see the beats.
- Domain Search was one of my first attempts at using asynchronous Python 3 code. It uses Google to find the most searched for terms, based on what you type in, then finds checks the .com domain names for availability
-
Twitter Trending is a silly dingus I created just to try the
<datalist>HTML tag for auto-completion. - Podcast Search is an experiment with using a WebSocket connection for asynchronous client/server communcation. I wrote the server side code multiple times in a bunch of different Python 3 frameworks as an opportunity to learn them.
- Sequencer is a Web Audio implementation of a step sequencer to create drum beats. It was my first attempt at using Web Workers for accurately scheduling events.
