S.Lott-Software Architect: April 2015
http://slott-softwarearchitect.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Rants on the daily grind of building software. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. From a sound engineer I know:. Https:/ www.avid.com/US/products/pro-tools-software#Features. This is the new Pro Tools, it's now a subscription, for a mere $200 a year to stay current. However, if you peruse the list of new features, they all say "coming soon". You pay a subscription fee today for features that aren't even live yet. It's like I'm paying for an open beta of PT12. What is going on here? It's my understanding that Avid'...

S.Lott-Software Architect: March 2015
http://slott-softwarearchitect.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Rants on the daily grind of building software. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Years ago - many years ago - I self-published three books on Python. I also set up a Google Group, Building Skills Books. For a discussion area. For a while, I check my download logs carefully to see how the book was being received. Now that I have steady connectivity, it's really kind of embarrassingly awkward that I ignored my readers like that. I submit my apology to all of the folks who hoped for a more responsive author. 4) Pyth...

S.Lott-Software Architect: A plea to avoid sys.exit() [Updated]
http://slott-softwarearchitect.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-plea-to-avoid-sysexit.html
Rants on the daily grind of building software. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. A plea to avoid sys.exit() [Updated]. Let me gripe about this for a moment. The use case for this function is limited. Very, very limited. Every place that this appears (except for one) is going to lead to reusability issues. Consider some obscure little function, deep within the app. What's so bad about that? The function seizes control of every app that uses it by raising an unexpected exception. This will defeat the sys.exit().

Rants on the daily grind of building software. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Step 1. Go to amazon.com. And look for one (or more) of my Python books. Step 2. Have you read it? Consider posting a review. That's all. Consider doing this for other authors, also. Social media is its own weird economy. The currency seems to be evidence of eyeballs landing on content. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

S.Lott-Software Architect: Python Essentials
http://slott-softwarearchitect.blogspot.com/2015/07/python-essentials.html
Rants on the daily grind of building software. Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Get Packt's Python Essentials. I think it covers a large number of important topics. Central to this is Python 3.4. The book covers Python 3 with few - if any - backward glances. If it makes any mention of Python 2, the reference is strictly derogatory. There isn't even a mention of the old print. Is not mentioned once. I prefer a clean approach. The essentials. Python 3 all the way. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Product Journa...

S.Lott-Software Architect: A Surprising Confusion
http://slott-softwarearchitect.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-surprising-confusion.html
Rants on the daily grind of building software. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Well, it was surprising to me. And it should not have been a surprise. This is something I need to recognize as a standard confusion. And rewrite some training material to better address this. Outside the SELECT clause, everything's a group or a set or some kind of collection. Even in spreadsheet world, a lot of Big Data folks slap summary expressions on the top of a column to show a sum or a count without too much worry or concern.

S.Lott-Software Architect: Literate Programming and GitHub
http://slott-softwarearchitect.blogspot.com/2015/06/literate-programming-and-github.html
Rants on the daily grind of building software. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Literate Programming and GitHub. I remain captivated by the ideals of Literate Programming. My fork of PyLit ( https:/ github.com/slott56/PyLit-3). Seems to handle LP programming in a very elegant way. It works like this. Write RST files describing the problem and the solution. This includes the actual implementation code. And everything else that's relevant. So that it can be installed properly. If we publish only the Python code we'...
