Let's go to Rio

Came across a saved medium article that talked about a framework called Rio.  It's all python, giving the ability to write full web apps in python.  Unlike Flask, no HTML/CSS or JavaScript needed.  I'm thinking of trying it out to develop more python skills without needing to detour for the html/css stuff.  

Ideation Abounds

Found an interesting book I had saved.  140 simple python programs.  Gave me an idea for my portfolio site. Might make it a randomizer button that loads one of the simple programs side by side within the code. 

Group Projects

One of my favorite things we've done in my Intro to CS classes is having code reviews with small groups over a few assignments.  I've found them to be incredibly interesting and helpful.  Getting to see others approach things like doc strings and class inheritance helps contextualize a lot of what the instructors teach.  

Reading over and over

Because I've taken a lot of personal steps to learning programming and coding over the years, I've also had the same concepts presented to me in a wide variety of ways.  

It's easy enough to follow along with writing your own scripts from a video tutorial or book, but for me, I think it's limited my lateral thinking for code.

Searching through searches

Working on some homework to modify bubble sort and insertion sort functions.  Was able to get them mostly done.  Still trying to figure out how to sort case insensitive lists to finish up.
