Finally (FINALLY!) getting back to learning to program.

I just had some fun getting Bitpic avatars integrated into my playground web application.

Not hard, but very cool to use it on this level for the first time.

Nice. What language are you using?

I had been off for a few years. Still got most of it tho...like riding a bike.

Starting with Python, currently using Flask to learn web development. Next will most likely be JavaScript, and "relearning" web development with Bitcoin to recontextualize the concepts I'm learning now, make sure I really understand them.

When you get to a certain point that's definitely true. I've never been able to dive as deeply as I've wanted to, though. Things always come up.

But, I do get back around to it eventually, and I get a little bit farther every time.

Not a great programmer here but I write test automation frameworks and it just has to get test coverage and it does 🤣

Fair enough!

Testing is something I need to learn to do properly, but whenever I start, I don't really know where or how to start. I've yet to find a good intro resource for testing.

Anything by Cem Kaner or James Bach. I originally got into testing after reading one of their PowerPoints and they are still innovating the industry.

Thanks, I appreciate the recommendations!
