I fully agree with the crappy documentation. Which to be honest isn't consistent with the rest of the python sphere. Documentation tends to be pretty good generally. It's a shame.

Hmmm, I did a bit of searching and didn't find anything I particularly liked, I guess I'll add this to the list of posts I need to write. Nevertheless, I did find something. Check out these links:

Whether they are a reinvention or not, can't I be ebullient about them? I love new technology for example, and I get pretty ebullient about whatever new things there are. It doesn't mean that I'm ignorant of the past that has led up to them and it certainly shouldn't effect my thoughts on them either.

That's true haha. It rains a fair amount but it's definitely over exaggerated.

Yeah it's 1.5 times larger. It was a joke though because Japanese people always say it never stops raining in the UK, it's like the first thing they always say.

That's a good point, I've ran into problems with that before too. Thanks.

That is true, the maths is very basic and it doesn't go into why it's blazingly fast. The reason for this is that it doesn't fit the idea of this series at all.

However that would be an interesting post, it will be a good one to write, but not part of this series.

Thanks!

Ah I see, thanks for telling me!

Well it has a smooth scrolling effect on it. Does it lag? Is it inconvenient?

Any feedback on anything to do with the blog is welcomed and appreciated.

Yeah, I'm not too impressed by the Google API documentation if I'm honest. Using the API via HTTP is quite well documented, but using the api via their python library... Not so much.

What's the problem?

If you're going to be accessing user data, you need to be using oath authorisation. There are other ways to handle it but after a lot of research and trial and error, in the end this was the best way I found.

Honestly, I have no projects or specific uses for these languages. Rather, I am treating it as a tool for learning and to experience low level programming.

I might make some kind of machine learning application in it later down the line though.

Thank you, I'll take a look at that. Also, thanks for the solid advice! I enjoy maths, recently I've been going through all the maths I've learnt previously to refresh my memory of it. Maths suits a Computer Science student's brain (Y)

Wow fantastic, I'll definitely take a look at these. Thank you very much.

Thanks, I'll take a look at his videos and books!

Thanks, I'll give it a gander. I've used Khan Academy before, but I didn't take a liking to it really. I'll give it another go!

I see, thanks. Bayesian is a word that keeps popping up time after time. I'll definitely start learning Linear algebra then.

Feature selection, data cleaning and backtesting. I see, well you are trying to get a computer to understand and learn from data, so it's only natural that you would have to have a good command over it to design a system like that.
