Once it's set up on a host, you can push Heroku-compatible applications to it via Git. Rich plug in architecture.

Useful things pyupgrade can automatically upgrade code base (However, I frequently just upgrade and run tests and let my old code be as-is until it bugs me. - Brian) black checks pyproject.toml requires-python setting and uses version specific rules. Versions (way more highlights listed in the article) 3.8 Assignment expressions := walrus f"{variable=}" now works 3.9 Typing has built in generics like dict[], so no more from typing import Dict Dict union operator Strings can removeprefix and removesuffix 3.10 Structural pattern matching match/case Typing: Union using pipe | Dataclasses support slots=True and kw_only=True 3.11 tomllib included as a standard TOMP parser Exception groups Exception Notes add_note() Typing: A Self type Star unpacking expressions allowed in for statements: for x in *a, *b: 3.12 f-strings can re-use quotes Typing: better type parameter syntax Typing: @override decorator ensures a method being overridden by a child class actually exists.

Do You hang Your Projects on Your Fridge? Do you remember when you were a kid and maybe your parents put your drawings or school art on the fridge? How awesome did you feel when that happened. Now look around your home, where is your artwork? Why aren't you putting your art around your house? Do you think that perhaps your stuff is no good, or are you suffering from imposter syndrome? Well, there is probably a reason for that, you are being too critical about your work, and maybe that is stopping you from enhancing your living space and creating art for yourself.

This week we talk about our web development set up and the tools we like to use (links below). My read of the week is ‘Git: The Safety Net for Your Projects’ by Tobias Gunther, and Ben’s is ‘CSS-only custom-styled selects’ by Todd Parker. My musical recommends are ‘Time’ and ‘Dream Is Collapsing’ by Hanz Zimmer. Ben’s is CFCF’s 2012 album ‘Exercises’. The intro and outro music we use is ‘Vitreous Detachment’, used with very kind permission from Origamibiro. - Mark Subscribe and keep in touch iTunes - http://relativepaths.uk/it Stitcher - http://relativepaths.uk/st SoundCloud - http://relativepaths.uk/sc Twitter - http://twitter.com/relativepaths Facebook - http://facebook.com/relativepaths If you like the show, please leave a review or comment wherever you like to listen to us.

Episode 36 - How to Get Traction for Your Projects Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe to RSS Download MP3 We have a chat with James Paden from Compendium Blogware and Emailium to discuss how to drive traffic to new projects. Every developer at one point or another has fallen prey to the “if you build they will come” myth. What is it that we failed to do for our projects that didn’t get any traffic? That’s what we try to find out in this episode of the podcast. Learn about how to use conferences, Twitter, email, Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and more to help your software businesses get traction. Profanity disclaimer: Brandon attempts to clean up his language, unsuccessfully. It’s a work in progress. So for the time being don’t listen to this podcast around sensitive ears. During this topic I want to better understand what it takes to get traction for a project. What are some of the common mistakes you made early on? Why is it not as simple as if you build they will come? What funnels do you setup? Where do you spend your time pre and post launch? What are some tricks you’ve used that worked well?
