This year was the best year for this channel yet and I can’t thank you all enough. I have plenty planned for the future and I look forward to putting out great tutorials next year!
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 regular expressions (regex) tutorial, we’re going to be learning how to match patterns of text. Regular expressions are extremely useful for matching common patterns of text such as email addresses, phone numbers, URLs, etc. Almost every programming language has a regular expression library, so learning regular expressions with not only help you with finding patterns in your text editors, but also you’ll be able to use these programming libraries to search for patterns programmatically as well. Let’s get started…
In this video, we will be looking at 5 skills that you can learn on top of your main programming language to make you a well-rounded programmer. These skills will make you more marketable when looking for a job, and can sometimes be the deciding factor when choosing between candidates.
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…
In this Linux/Mac terminal tutorial, we will be learning about cron jobs and how to schedule commands with crontab. The will allow you to run commands on a repetitive schedule.

This helps a ton with system administration type of tasks and can automate a lot of work. Let’s get started.
In this Python Programming Tutorial, we will be learning how to unit-test our code using the unittest module. Unit testing will allow you to be more comfortable with refactoring and knowing whether or not your updates broke any of your existing code. Unit testing is a must on any large projects and is used by all major companies. Not only that, but it will greatly improve your personal code as well. Let’s get started.
