I bought a bundle of 12 courses from the online Popular Science Shop. The bundle isn't just pure Python, it's geared toward machine learning and data science, but I'm finding all the apps I build on a course to be great for learning Python.

It was on special with online store Popular Science Shop, this course bundle[^].

I have seen and gone through the Python 3.7 tutorial, but I did so very fast and long ago. I plan on doing the "official" tutorial once I finish some of the Python courses. Then I will have a good understanding of the libraries and can use the tutorial topics to write real, practical Python.

Yeah, that kind of scoping is scary.

Thanks, this looks like a great app, but I have one issue, and that's its "flat" todo list. I've just found an app that integrates with nearly all task management services/apps. E.g. I have just integrated it with Trello, which is a dedicated list manager. The app I've found has a desktop app, a Chrome extension, and a mobile app, and it's called [^]Pomodone.

Thanks. that looks like a very helpful list, but before I go through each app on it, do you know of any Android apps that integrate with a desktop component. I can't imagine doing Pomodoro planning, with lots and lots of typing, only on my phone. It's a great phone but not so great.

In December I bought a bundle of 12 Python courses for the price of probably just one course. I am on my second course now and loving it; I can't believe I've not done this much earlier. What I'm really amazed at is all the power available in easily available packages. So far we've already done some machine learning and basic image recognition, GIS, and graphing: things I would not have ever considered while coding in C# unless asked for a specific deliverable. The libraries, built-in and external, are all so quick and easy to get started on but extremely powerful. I foresee lots of new articles starting as soon as I finish my second course and go back to that and the first one and explore all the libraries we've covered.

An egg timer will work fine, but tracking your "sprints" (Pomodoros) helps you improve your time planning and use of the Pomodoro technique. Just like some agile shops have metrics on their sprints and others just follow very basic SCRUM techniques.

Writing a Pomodoro tracker is very, very high on my todo list. I've been mentally planning one for years, but I stopped using the technique and forgot about it.

If a Pomodoro takes more work than your timer, e.g. 25 minutes, either: a) You haven't divided your main tasks into separate little tasks. This skill grows very quickly as you begin to practice this technique. b) You stop working after 25 minutes, note that Pomodoro as unfinished, and after 5 minutes, you start a new Pomodoro and resume work on your ill-planned task.

Does anyone here use the Pomodoro technique for coding? I've used it to excellent effect before and would like to get back to it. That's why I'm asking for recommendations for a Pomodoro planning/tracking app. There are so many, and trying out individual ones is quite a hassle. What do you use/recommend?

Why not? With better PageRank, more people get to laugh at these guys. If people fall for them, that invokes Darwin in some way :laugh:

I've got a 20 that goes to 6 on a good day, yet it's still fast enough for most streaming and series downloads.

I have found no issues with the latest VS2019 update. It is very stable except for not always opening the last project worked on at startup.

Yeah, I've just written VBA code to validate "date ranges" in Excel, i.e. a range with year, month, and day cells. It also has to identify date ranges based on the year cell containing a validation list. It's an unholy, un-OOP, mess, and working in that bloody VBA IDE is really a big step down from VS 2019.

Well, when there's a reason, and it's thought out properly, there's nothing wrong with a goto.

The Python seems more readable that the statement with a ternary expression. I have just started learning python, but the `if/else` is very clear to me.
