Announcing: The Python Place, Your Python Place, Your Data Place and Comfy Python!

New domains...

Bit of a ridiculous title, but I've just registered 3 more domains. Hoarding. But I'm undecided... I set out to build a data platform (which I am still pursuing), but on the journey I've had some extremely exciting ideas which sit more in the realm of improving the agile useability of Python by adding my own field experience, common SDKs (like boto in AWS), and making Python execution the core of our platform. 

The domains I now hold for this project are:

  • yourdataplace.com
  • yourpythonplace.com
  • thepythonplace.com
  • comfypython.com

What're you going to do with these additional three domains?

At the moment: nothing. But I will attempt to use them as landing pages and different "approaches" to explaining/educating the concept of Your Data Place, as the fact that it uses Python as its core unification language is not apparently simply from the name.

I like the look of PyScripts landing page, as well as their technology (which I'm looking at how to use in this project). So I may look at building similar styles landing pages in order to test the ways to educate users on how to get value, and how to use the platform, and whether its the right fit for them.

Shareable data and code in YDP Projects

Datasets, everywhere... One major ability I want in YDP is the ability to create datasets that can be interpreted as global, reproducable datasets which were created as part of a dataset generator. Although I presume datasets will primarily be used inside their own projects, I think there's great value in the ability to make these datasets global, and accessible by any other project. The Problem At the moment, the problem is in the implementation. This was no issue when YDP was a sandbox test project in my local filesystem, where I could easily WRITE a file here, then READ a file here under the same name. But, in a real production architecture, we're using Docker as of this moment to manage our independent filesystems. When it comes to being able to have a dataset be generated in Project 1's file system (FS) then wants to be used in Project 2's FS, what has to occur is something along the lines of the following: Flag a Python script as a generator for a dataset. Execute

Siesta of YDP

-
Unfortunately, I've had to take a siesta in Your Data Place. I'm still extremely passionate, but most of my spare time has been consumed by a half-work half-play project which is niche in my industry which will allow me some more future freedom if it ends up working correctly. I'm using some of the innovations I've outlined here in that project, to make it something completely unique and separate to the current competitors. It's in the pharmaceutical space, and I may start to think through concepts in this blog, as some of the ideas are quite abstract but need to be represented simply and easily to the users. In the time since I've last written, I have not learnt Rust to a proficcient level. I've learnt Firebase and become better at frontend web design as well as better at software application building using Python. I will return to Rust, and YDP, as these are my raw passions. I believe my experience in this next project will greatly inspire more ideas in YD

The start: a week of Rust

I've taken a small break to focus on my primary work obligations, and in that time I've had lots of time to ponder. During this time, I flew to Tasmania (737-800) and read through a few preliminary chapters of Manning Publications'  "Math for Programmers"  (Paul Orland). This book is a real workhorse for programmers who want and know  they wish to be able to implement more mathematics into their code, but find the conventional teaching methods difficult to fast-track. Home now, I plan to spend a week giving Rust a real go from the other Manning Publications book, "Rust in Action"  (Tim McNamara). In this time, I'll learn everything with a noble aspiration: "How could this benefit the users of YDP?" (as well as my primary work, and other interests of mine like genetics). Rust is fast, but from what I've experienced, it's cracked and goated with the sauce. What I find interesting about Rust, is the author's intent is as clear as d
