time studied - 3:53
Got started with a pet project of mine, learning how to automate tasks and build shell codes. The problem being my coding skills are so rusty that i have to whip out the informal introduction to python manual.
Meant for people who have some experience with programming I still feel a touch out of my depth even though I'm testing my understanding with coding challenges familiar to me.
Python is an interpreted language which is different from the compiled languages, C++ / Haskell, I've most often used in completing assignments during my degree (though Haskell's reliance on recursion and static typing is the most rewarding and confusing thing I've ever had the pleasure of working with).
Today SQL was about data types of which three broad categories dominate most data sets:
characters
numbers
dates and times
Each of which was split into more precise data sets with descriptions on how to best apply them. Haven't completed the chapter but looking forward to chapter 5 which focuses on importing and exporting data >:)
I'll be crawling back like Peter Ravn's oil paintings
