Geek Talk Thursday: My Coding Journey In March this year, I embarked on my Python programming journey. If someone had told me then that I would become a full stack developer in just a few months, I probably would have looked at them like they had grown two heads. Well, maybe they did because here I am, now diving into advanced Python programming! I’m thrilled to share that my capstone project is a website where I wrote both the front end and backend code myself! It feels surreal to be able to understand and work with code at this level, integrating frameworks and libraries to build a professional, dynamic website that handles user interactions seamlessly. So, on this Geek Talk Thursday, I want to encourage anyone interested in learning to code to "just start." The journey isn't always smooth—there will be bumps along the way—but with consistency, it’s undoubtedly a worthwhile experience! Check out the website I’m working on for The Ghana Students Association in İstanbul, Türkiye - https://lnkd.in/ewqMSpid . I am incredibly privileged to be trusted with its development. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to reach out or leave a comment below! #Python #Coding #Programming #Datascience

Beautiful Thursday!! I am grateful to have received formal training in object-oriented programming in python. I recall writing my first Python scripts at backend and frequently asking my supervisor, “What does this mean? What is that for?” The most intriguing part was that the answer was always the same: "Just let it be, Angelica. It’s simply how things are." Today, at Blossom Academy, I gained a much deeper understanding. I now comprehend the reasoning behind using camel case in class names and other key concepts. I truly appreciate the way our instructor Precious Darkwa explained everything in detail and encouraged us all to experiment on our own. Here’s a glimpse of one of my earliest Python scripts. It has since been upgraded and is now obsolete, so it’s safe to share publicly. Many backend developers will likely understand the context of safety here. I believe this is one of the key reasons why many backend teams are cautious about showcasing their work; the nature of their projects is highly sensitive. Once again, I'd say to Blossom Academy, Generation Ghana and Mastercard Foundation, THANK YOU!! #blossomacademy #generationghana #mastercardfoundation #dataanalytics #datascience #growcohortone

In this video, I delve into a commonly asked question: What prompted you to write a beginner coding textbook? What inspired you?   It was my struggle while studying Data Analytics with Python. After overcoming those challenges and achieving my certification, I realized that engineers and newcomers interested in venturing into Data Science without coding experience might face similar hurdles. So, I decided to simplify Python coding by integrating Nigerian context like the popular Lagos slang, “Eko Oni Baje”, references to great movies like "Isoken," and our favourite musicians like "Burna Boy" In codes. I aim to create a more relatable and enjoyable learning experience by doing so.   This approach led to the birth of Daisy Tech Limited. Why do we target secondary school students? The answers to these questions are elaborated upon in the video, so I encourage you to watch the video. Happy viewing!

🏆 l am very plea to share my thought : the Zen of the Python. Through the  Educ8Africa Ghana  Python class which was taught by a fine lecture by Philip Gyimah Appiah. As a software engineer , discovering that his was very gesture. It's reminder that to doing research methods and read more on the python as a whole. All reminder me that l make my code very simple and easy to use it . In a computer or digital landscape often complexity , the use of the Zen of Python is like help in the solution of to the clear path that can make the individual the has function to help the privilege. 👨💻 ln to the work of Zen of Python is groomed the individual to learn divert their focus their knowledge their attention to master into python and software engineer. So let every individual 👦 👩 to embrace the knowledge on the Zen of Python and the skill in code toward the focus in mastery in python and have very good knowledge in code in python space as whole and understand.

DAY 50 of Python 100 Days of Code Yipee...I made it halfway. It was a journey of ups and downs to get this far. I still have 50 more days to go and I would like to state it explicitly here that this took me way more than 50 days. It's not been easy amidst the lessons at AltSchool Africa and my present job as a full-time Chemist but I choose to keep moving and finish what I started. It's not about how fast you go but how well. Don't give up just because you missed a couple of days or you missed a couple of classes. Please go ahead and finish what you started. I just unlocked a new energy level in myself. I will never forget a brilliant idea again, thanks to my idea storage system. Halfway there with Day 50 of #Replit100DaysOfCode #100DaysOfCode.
