Hi!
An quick introduction about this website before you begin browsing!~
Based on the Codesters Unit that we commenced in my SEP Computer Talent Class at my JHS 157 High School, we have snipped images over our progress during our Javascript and Python learning experience on the website "Codesters.com".
FYI, I am going to be updating, so there will be changes!~
Thanks and stay tuned!

Codesters Prompt:
According to Kenneth Love of Treehouse, an online education site, "Python is a general purpose programming language created in the late 1980s, and named after Monty Python, that’s used by thousands of people to do things from testing microchips at Intel, to powering Instagram, to building video games with the PyGame library. It’s small, very closely resembles the English language, and has hundreds of existing third-party libraries."
1. How does Python resemble the English language?
2. What is Monty Python?
3. Where can you find Python being used?
4. What are some projects you can use Python to complete?
1. Python resembles the English language because of the way in which it is interpreted and used. The English language is a form of communication and expression of ideas/thoughts, through the use of words. Similar to this form, Python is also a way of communication, however, it is in to form in which it gives out commands in code. In the English language, different words express different meanings. Python incorporates this technique to send codes out in which would direct an action/event/change to occur.
2. Monty Python otherwise known as The Pythons, is a comedy band in the 1969, which had a large influence on comedy, as great as the amount of influence The Beatles had on music. Aired on October 5 1969, by BBC, Monty Python’s members created the sketch comedy Monty Python’s Flying Circus. The band members were composed of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. The coding language Python has been named after the band Monty Python.
3. Python is used worldwide, in different ways/forms, and by large organizations as a useful and advance programming language. Also, Python’s syntax allows programmers to express concepts in few lines of code, opposing to other coding languages such as Javascript. Python has been found to be more productive that other conventional languages as mentioned before, such as C++ and Javascript. Large organizations such as Google, Yahoo!, NASA, etc.
4. Python presents a very useful tool in the programming world, and it allows coders opportunities to easily express in lines of code a goal or objective. Some of the projects that I have already use Python to complete, are making my initials using the DragPen function, the movement, and the avatar functions. In addition, I have also coded my own dialogue using a sprite and using movement codes to make him interact with the observer. To advance my Python experience and relate to those of other coders in Python, some projects that can be completed by Python are creating a website from scratch, or just a display. Tutorials that teach other Computer Engineering and/or advanced skills/techniques can also be made from Python. Python presents so many opportunities, and not just in computer engineering, but also in other areas, such as expanding in any other topic to different skills such as baking, sewing, making origami, etc.! In general, Python presents coders an opportunity to showcase and introduce their work in the face of others, teach others, and /or bring in new ideas and exhibit creativity unrestricted.
