I've created an in-browser Python/Pandas/Git practice environment for my online learning platform and also for my corporate training classes. I'd be happy to discuss how I went abo…

A very interesting point. Coding with AI definitely requires tight, fast loops. I don't have much experience with Rust, but I had heard that the compiler is slow (because it's doin…

I've been taking Chinese lessons for a number of years, and my teacher described her son as learning characters via pinyin. But it's quite possible (even likely) that the common on…

I can see Rust (and to some degree, Go) as the modern outputs from AI. My point about Python being Pinyin is that both of these languages have a relatively steep learning curve for…

I don't know if it's that hard for people to go from Python (where whitespace is significant) to languages that use {} and the like. But hey, people only hire me when they want peo…

Interesting -- I still think that Python is an easier onramp than TypeScript for new developers. But given the popularity and depth of JavaScript, and the clear advantages (and pop…

While working on a PhD in technology and education, I thought that it might be worth creating a SaaS for people to teach whatever they want. This was back in early 2008, when such …

This is a a free, 12-part practical introduction to uv for people who already know Python and want to (a) know what the fuss is about and (b) how to incorporate uv into their daily…

A lot of people I know, including many of my students, first heard about uv as a lightning-fast replacement for pip. That's what piqued their interest, and that's also more or less…

I dunno, every single conference I've attended over the years had at least one talk trying to make sense of packaging -- downloading, installing, venvs, creating wheelfiles, and di…

Sorry to disappoint! I can tell you that many people I've met, including those who have read the documentation, kept asking questions about how to use uv. This article is a summary…

I teach Python professionally, and constantly get questions from my students about how they should be using uv, and how to integrate it with pip, pyenv, venvs, and the like. When I…
