Project 1: A rundown of Nerd Review

Previously on Capstone Project 1 Week at Digital Crafts…There was group work. It went pretty well. But what did we actually make? I took the liberty of jotting down a few project ideas before our first group meeting, and my entire strategy for this was “when I use the internet…

And…tada!…now with more backend!

This past week, we brought together our SQL work with our previous Python work to build apps from both directions. Rudimentary apps built using a local server, but still! We took the basic concept and structure of our ongoing phonebook app and made it web-based. Essentially this meant translating our…

Catch the Monster

I’ve been plugging away at these Python exercises the past weeks. Pretty much got into a rhythm. The latest was a graphics game where a “hero” character has to capture a “monster” while running away from “goblins.” I was excited that I made something non-command line that I could finally show off on my portfolio page. However, I discovered that Python can’t just be dropped into HTML easily. After spending half my day learning about Brython and Sckulpt, endless forum and google group browsing, and many attempts with different online Python interpreters — I decided to just take a screen recording of me demonstrating the result.

Command line apps continued…

Finally got around to writing up our second large exercise from the first 3 weeks. This one is a phonebook app (also run from the command line) that is designed to store entries of names and their corresponding set of 3 phone numbers (home, work, cell). We first programmed this…

He’s dead Jim! (Hangman Command Line Game)

In week 2, midway through our Python lessons and exercises, those of us who finished early were tasked with creating a command line version of the simple hangman game. This is an exercise commonly given to new programming students. In my previous python work in grad school, I had done…

Tomorrow my third week at Digital Crafts comes to a close, and with the amount of work that we’ve been doing every day, I feel like I no longer have to introduce myself as a “new student” and can officially say that I have some amount of training under my…
