Programming with Python- If's Elif's Else's

In todays video we go over the basic principle of the If, elif, and else function in python. The best way to explain this in summary is to say that if one action happens, then this action happens. Elif (Or else that doesn’t end.) this action will happen; else (which is the ending statement) this action happens. Every if has to have an else. With out else the function will not work properly. There is no easy way to explain all this in code unless I show you what it means in code. For example:

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.  

Photoshop Tutorial: Animating

Now it has been a while since I last did a tutorial video for Photoshop, and today I come back with something a bit more useful when it comes to making an animated logo. In the video I demonstrate how to animate using a sprite sheet, but the concept is quite simple to understand altogether. All you have to do is animate frame-by-frame, or in this case layer by layer. There isn’t a whole lot I can really show you through this article that I did in the video. But I will try my best to recapture this moment for you in text form for those who don’t like watching an eight minute video. So without further distractions, let’s get started.

Five CMS Platforms

Today we are going to be looking five CMS platforms that are free to use and available to you. So you might be asking to yourself, “what is a CMS platform?”. Well to put simply, CMS stands for Content Management System. This allows for users to easily modify their blogs or sites with not a lot of coding experience. However in this case, these are platforms that allow people to code and design their own themes and workable workstations for the applications usage. I was going to make this a top 5 kind of thing, but I realized that would only make people choose between what the top three were. So I thought telling you five would give you some variety to go check them out. I hope you find this somewhat useful, and have a nice day.
