Google App Engine Datastore Gotchas | aleatory
http://aleatory.clientsideweb.net/2009/11/28/google-app-engine-datastore-gotchas/comment-page-1
Google App Engine Datastore Gotchas. App Engine is generally a new paradigm for webapp developers; replacing sessions with memcache and a schemaless datastore just two elements requiring new thinking for old problems. Unfortunately there are a few more hidden nuisances which have the potential to waste programming time relatively early on. Here’s four of my personal head-bangers:. 1 the datastore doesn’t always store Properties. 2 fussy filter parsing. Returns a NoneType error. Date range > =. At the tim...

Fiscal Union Probably Means an End to Irish Republic’s USP. This Friday on the anniversary of the Maastricht Treaty draft and amid a likely worsening economic outlook (Eurozone GDP out Tuesday) the EZ economies should announce moves to rein in the spending of the southern European states & complement this with a plan to harmonise fiscal policy. This will mean among other things bringing tax rates in peripheral nation states into line with eurozone leaders France & Germany. In Defence of Ideas. Over other...

How to Dynamically Discover & Create Classes in Python. Or reasons why Python is cool #273. There are many snippets of code on the internet detailing how to go about dynamic class creation when the compiler (and thus, you the programmer) knows the name and module location of the class some time in advance, e.g. initial deploy time or via some parameter being entered in by the user when they want to instantiate such a class. Step 1: The initial loader. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. Package. path ,. Package&...

First Impressions on Dropping ICT/Gaining Programming | aleatory
http://aleatory.clientsideweb.net/2012/01/11/first-impressions-on-dropping-ictgaining-programming
First Impressions on Dropping ICT/Gaining Programming. But it’s easy to get carried away here. Reducing things to the bare minimum, programming has two innate parts – the design process and the act of realising this design in code. To design effectively, a student must be aware of what has gone before them, whether to use as building blocks or to pick holes, improve and iterate. How many people would be familiar with Excel prior to their job if they didn’t use it at school? 09:49:36 PM May 26, 2013.

Afghanistan on the Cheap. 22 weeks in a Helmand Checkpoint. 8220;Paddy, Paddy, I think I’ve been shot in the head! We welcomed the change. Aiming my rifle in the direction of the enemy threat I pulled the trigger for the first time in anger since first being trained in it’s use 10 years previously. Being honest, it was a relief to finally be putting all that training into practice. This was our home for the duration of Op Herrick 14. The satellite image is from last summer – we cut those tracks...On Fina...
