At the end of each video segment she tells you “until the next time…stay safe”. WTH? Such a caring person. I could understand “stay safe” if it was a class on handling firearms or poisonous snakes. Or maybe if the title was JavaScript for people living in Afghanistan. But this is just meaningless babble…look at …

Javascript Quiz mistakes
Resumed Udemy Javascript course and reached a quiz and was surprised that I was getting so many wrong. The realized I was being quizzed on things not taught. So after looking back at my progress realized it was taught but I had fallen asleep during the previous section. I was awoken by silence. Because the …

Pushed my 1st real Go program to GitHub
I wanted it on GitHub if for no other reason than to have a official date associated with my first real Go program. Also to add some activity and diversity to my github. There’s Cobol (mainframe & gnu), Basic, Python, Julia and now Go! Maybe I should add Lazarus/Pascal too. I could have also posted …
Github problems galore

Rewrote a Python program in Go!
I rewrote the bulk of my Python parse the local Tk4- prt file in Go. I thought it would be easy but it took me all day. Then again I don’t exactly think in Go at this point. It won’t win any awards for Go style and technique. It needs to read the prt directory …
Golang arrays
This is an array in go… a := [5]int{1,2,3,4,5} This is a slice in go… a := []int{1,2,3,4,5}Notice the huge difference? No 5 within the brackets! It’s fun to call something that appears almost the same, something different!Sure enough I accidentally called a slice an array and the program stopped working.
