In this Python Programming Tutorial, we will be looking at the Set data structure in-depth and discovering how it can help us solve some common problems. The set can not only solve certain problems more quickly but is also more efficient in many cases.
In this Python Flask Tutorial, we will be learning how to get started using the Flask framework. We will install the necessary packages and get a basic Hello World Application running in our browser.
In this Python Flask Tutorial, we will be learning how to use templates. Templates allow us to reuse sections of code over multiple routes and are great for serving up dynamic HTML pages.
In this Python Programming Tutorial, we will be learning how to hide passwords and secret information within environment variables on Windows machines. Hard-coding secret information is a common mistake that beginners make when learning Python. Hiding this information within environment variables allows you to access your secret information within your code without anyone else being able to see these values from your source code. Let’s get started…

In this Python Programming Tutorial, we will be writing three different scripts to estimate how long it will take to reach certain goals. Our first script will calculate how many months it will take us to pay off a credit card. Our second script will calculate how many weeks it will take to lose a certain amount of weight. And our third script will estimate how long it will take to reach a certain number of subscribers. Let’s get started…
In this Python Programming Tutorial, we will be learning how to use context managers to properly manage resources. Context Managers are great for when we need to setup or teardown some resources during use. So these can be used for: open and closing files, opening and closing database connections, acquiring and releasing locks, and much much more. Let’s get started…
In this Python Programming Tutorial, we will be learning how to work with JSON data. We will learn how to load JSON into Python objects from strings and how to convert Python objects into JSON strings. We will also see how to load JSON from a file and save those Python objects back to files. Let’s get started…
In this Python Programming Tutorial, we will be learning how to scrape websites using the BeautifulSoup library. BeautifulSoup is an excellent tool for parsing HTML code and grabbing exactly the information you need. So whether you’re pulling down headlines from news sites, scores from sports websites, or prices from an online store… BeautifulSoup and Python will help you get this done quickly and easily. Let’s get started…
In this Python Programming Tutorial, we will be learning how to read, write, and match regular expressions with the re module. Regular expressions are extremely useful for matching common patterns of text such as email addresses, phone numbers, URLs, etc. Learning how to do this within Python will allow us to quickly parse files and text for the information we need. Let’s get started…
In this Python Programming Tutorial, I will be showing how I personally manage multiple projects, virtual environments, and environment variables. If you have ever worked on multiple projects, you probably know that it can be a hassle to keep all of your dependencies and project information separate. The strategy I have adopted over the years allows me to easily separate out my environments in such a way that they can be easily exported, activated, and also automatically activate the correct environment variables. Let’s get started…
