Python on the browser? Yes, it works!!

Python on the browser? Yes, it works!!

So far, if you wanted to do web development, there was only one choice - Javascript. But that changed now. In this new series, we explore how to use pyscript to run python on the browser.

Understanding function composition

The foundation of programming is to take smaller abstractions and make bigger abstractions out of it. In the previous articles in this series, we learned about using functions to create abstractions. Now let us look at how to join them up together using functional composition.

Impure functions

Functions that return the same output when given the same input are called pure functions. Then what are impure functions?

Python Decorators

You come across decorators when working in many frameworks. Here is how they work.

Higher Order Functions

In this article we look at higher order functions, which are the bedrock of functional programming style

Tweeting sessions from PyCon US 2022

This is just a quick announcement that we will be tweeting session contents from PyCon US on the playful python twitter account. Follow the twitter account to keep up with the talks. Once the event is over we will do deep dives into some of the topics.

Functions as parameters

In this article we take a look at functional abstractions using filter and sorted as examples.

First class functions

Functions are "first class citizens" in python. In this article we will take a look at what that means.

A programming language is low level when its programs require attention to the irrelevant

Implementing word transformations

In the previous articles covering the word count problem so far, we have tried a variety of approaches to write a function to count the number of times a word appears in a sentence. Now let us attempt the bonus part of it.

Python dicts have a get method. How could it help us?
