After some setup and typing yesterday, today is going to be all about programming.
I found a nice looking tutorial at jarv.org on how to build a question / answer app that uses django and some jquery for the front end. I’m hoping that I can learn from it and change things around so that I get closer to the flashcard application I want to build for myself.
The tutorial was easy to work through, I just thought I’d do some digital housekeeping before getting it done. This spawned a couple of hours of profanity and confusion as my computer refused to let me access one of my external hard drives … while displaying it to me.
Bastardly shitebag.
With that still not working, but providing fewer error messages than before I was able to setup a basic django app, import files from the tutorial author and get it running on my machine.
It uses sqlite3 for the database and should be a handy introduction for the kind of app I want to do myself.
- Keeping the chain of elements going, finishing the first tutorial in the series brings me to Helium
