Programming with Python: Strings and Functions cont

In today’s video, we are going to be going over strings and variable again, just to make sure that you have the general idea down. I would like to remind those who watch these videos to type as I type and not to copy and paste everything in the videos. I am not a professional, but I find it easy to learn with a more hands on experience rather than a you see what you get. I would also like to remind you that if you have any further interest in learning python ahead of the videos, then please go check this great online book so that you can read ahead. That book again, is called Learning python the hard way: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ Thanks for watching this series, and I hope you found it helpful in some kind of way.

Chrome Apps Episode 7: Planner 5D

 

Today we are going to be looking at an application called “Planner 5D”. This application is a home designing tool that allows you to create your dream house with all of the tools it provides. The application caught my eye one day while browsing the Chrome App store and I was feeling a bit on the creative side. So I decided to give it a shot and download it. After taking about twenty minutes of using the app and getting used to the interface I soon found myself making my own little office with no problems what so ever. I should mention that getting used to this application isn’t quite as easy as it seems, but it doesn’t take long after the understanding of the interface. With that said, let’s see if this application is for you.
