Python 2017-07-09 data science

Now that I finished my Django course I will now concentrate on my python and its application in the world of data science.  I shall be following my kindle book "Data science from scratch" by Joel Grus. 

Update: although the book's text mentions python2 Joel Grus has kindly provided a python3 version of the code in Github along some explanatory notes.

Django 2017-07-07

I have come to end of my  'Tango with Django' book and I won't be working on the final chapters to do with unit testing and hosting a django website.  I have thoroughly enjoyed the tutorial example in this book and I did come across a few bugs in the text which I was able to correct with my own python/html/django knowledge.  I like the fact the book provides links to different aspects of django for your own perusal rather than add extra content in a book that is aimed at beginners.  Thanks to this book I can create my own rudimentary django website and make it call various python functions in the back end.  I give this book 4 out of 5.

Django 2017-07-02

I am now at the later end of the 'tango with django' book by Leif Azzopardi.  The chapter I'm on now is dedicated to exercises on upgrading the website project.  The chapters afterwards deal with JQuery and Ajax which are not part of Django nor Python but extensions of Javascript. These items improve the look and feel of website rather than the functionality.  So basically the workflow in Django is as follows

Update the models
Update the view
Update the template
Update the URLs

Once I have finished this book I will probably buy another Django book before I am fully confident in building my own websites.
