Nathan Smith had an 'itch' caused by a problem related to the game of
Scrabble. Solving a problem with Python, from start-to-finish. A journey
of challenges, a lesson of not giving in and hopefully a good story all
round. Featuring, steps forwards, brick-walls, data-structures related
to words, dictionaries (of both definitions) and Directed Acyclic Word
Graphs (DAWG - application of DAG graph/network structures). Plus, a
blind person's perspective on coding through the project, presenting
overview information on the way a blind person may access code and what similarities or differences may crop up.
Creative Coding With Python: Learn how to code simple visuals in Python
for games, innovative stats, simulations and generative art using a
flavour of the processing library. This can be incredibly useful for
teaching programming, visualising concepts and sharpening thinking
skills. This list's own Abdur-Rahman Janhangeer organises the Python
Mauritius User Group and FlaskCon* (amongst many other contributions to
the Python Community including graphic presentation libraries)
* Flask is a very popular web framework
