Almost every system that runs on the internet and stores user data has an authentication layer. With the API architecture becoming popular nowadays, the complexity of the authentication layer also grew.
This post was made to explain the authentication process between a frontend written in Angular 6 and a backend written in Django 2 using the architecture proposed on my previous post “Separating Frontend from Backend with Angular and Django”.
Have you ever asked yourself how to publish your Python package, so you can install it using pip? It is less complex than it seems, and anyone can do it.
The first step is to create an account on the Python Package Index (PyPI) were all Python packages are registered.
After that, you need to create a file called setup.py on the root folder of the Python code that you will publish with the following content, changing the values were is needed:
Recently someones asked me how to perform a connection to a server to run the command df -h using ssh to display the disk usage of the machine. After a quick chat, I discovered that the question was more than just a single check to a server. It was to extend that to multiple servers.
The answer to the question was quick and came with a “click”. How about to document these quick tips at the blog?
At web development, things evolve and grow in complexity faster than we can follow. That old way of creating websites where the pages were built only with HTML and if you had to change something you had to go through many pages changing the same thing is something rare nowadays. Now, even to create static websites, we use tools to optimize our work.
On the last years, we had an increase in javascript frameworks and an excellent evolution on the frontend as a whole.
A while ago, I made a post on how to organize a coding dojo that was published right after the Python DF community anniversary dojo where I prepared a challenge to create the game of life from John Horton Conway.
To let the challenge more dynamic, I prepared a graphic simulator using pygame so everyone could see the code running visually. The simulator uses all the concepts that we saw on the last posts of this series.
Now that we learned how to draw on the screen (previous post) would be good that our game keeps running until someone closes it, and to do that we will use one of the basic concepts of game development with is the Game Loop.
Concept The concept of loop is something very common at computing, it is nothing but a sequence of actions and decision makings that repeats inside on a cycle.
During a game lifetime, we are constantly drawing on the screen. Now that we learned how to create a program with pygame it’s time to start to draw.
Drawing axis Going back to math classes at high school we were introduced to the Cartesian coordinate system. It is basically one bidimensional plane oriented by the axis x and y where the x values grow from left to right while y grows from bottom to top:
Game development is one of the most common reasons to start to study programming. With me it was not different, despite not following the game developer path, this was always a field that caught my attention.
I’m creating this series of posts to learn more about the game development basics and to share my discoveries with everyone. I’ll use the pygame library as tool and I will start by the most basic principles of game development until the creation of a single player pong like game.
My first Coding Dojo happened right after my first contact with the Python language at college. A classmate (Dirley) that had back from Python Brasil conference where he discovered the concept of Coding Dojo and was excited to put that to practice. That was a really fun day and probably the most important moment that started a spark on me to learn more about Python.
In the same way as that brought me to Python and after to the community, Coding Dojo can be an entry door to a lot of people to programming.
Recently I participated in a discussion at the Grupy-DF Telegram Comunity group about how to explain the differences between Open Source and Free Software to non tech people and during that discussion I realized that on every try to create a simple answer we create more doubts about it.
So to try answer that question i posted here my toughs on this question.
Free Software The Free Software is a term used when we are talking about computer programs that follow the concepts of freedom and community.
