Hey folks, hope you are enjoying the python series. In this episode we will go over some basics on indexing and slicing lists. Here's the link to the companion videos: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0oG4Tcsm8SSH0n Enjoy!

This is the second part of the episode on functions. In this part, we'll talk briefly about functions that return values, along with our usual rabbit trails of (hopefully) useful and extraneous information. Enjoy! Here are the companion videos: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0o5qXGF1IVhGkJ

This is the third installment of the Python Audio Tutorial series. In this episode, we will be discussing how you can define functions and why you might want to do so. Check here for the companion videos: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0oGWZuqD8TcBf0

This is the second installment of the Python Audio Tutorial series. We will go into some super simple variable assignment, using strings and we'll also see a little character escaping.

I've decided to switch things up and do a short Python Tutorial over audio. I've never seen this done anywhere, and it's something that I thought would be cool because you can work on learning to code while using your phone and walking the dog, or wherever you find yourself with some spare time. Enjoy!

In this episode we discuss the 10,000 hour rule and how this relates to expertise in some area of practice. Tune in to find out how this relates to coding.

In this episode I discuss the way that different languages actually "feel" when using them. In other words, their ergonomics. Tune in to hear the verdict on Python, Node.js and C#.

In this episode I'll be discussing some of the extra stuff that I had to learn when beginning my journey as a software engineer. It's amazing sometimes all of the extras that you need to know in order to do seemingly simple things in the beginning. Tune in to find out how I overcame this issue.

In this episode I talk about the TunnelCoder manifesto and the philosophy behind the upcoming tutorial series that is currently in progress. 👇👇👇👇 TUNNELCODER MANIFESTO TunnelCoders use their knowledge for the greater good. TunnelCoders refuse to use traditional code tutorials. TunnelCoders will not be told they need to be a math genius to code. TunnelCoders know that they won’t need to create a linked list or binary tree to solve real problems coding, so they don’t bother. TunnelCoders don't code toy apps. TunnelCoders will not be beat. They may have once given up on learning to code, but they will not let this stop them. TunnelCoders have the kind of determination that gets them to the destination. TunnelCoders go underground. They get underneath all the over engineered structures around them. They have defined vision, a destination and they have grit. TunnelCoders might be mining something, or they might be escaping something, but they won't apologize for their main objective. TunnelCoders will always light the ends.

In this episode we talk about something that can become an issues for many software engineers. This is particularly a problem for those that are making progress on their journey of learning, and if left unchecked can threaten to derail all of their hard work.

In this episode I discuss some of the times when I've personally accomplished things that I thought impossible, and how "grit" plays into this.

In this episode we discuss what really happens when you write code for a living. And it's not what you think! Hint: There are a lot less steps and things to memorize than you would imagine. Tune in to find out more.

In this episode of the TunnelCoder podcast, we'll talk about how almost all code tutorials start with an annoying walk through all of the language features. We'll also briefly discuss the ways that learning to code might be influenced by our Western view of learning itself.

This is the first episode in the TunnelCoder podcast. I wanted to take some time to introduce myself and the story of how I finally learned to code after many years of trying and failing. I hope you enjoy! Drop me a note or leave a message!
