Python for Newbies – Tutorial – Part Two

Functions
Functions are simply a set of commands or statements grouped together as a unit with a name that can be called on by other parts of the program (or even by other programs) to accomplish a certain task. Since the statements inside a function do not have to be rewritten every time the steps they perform are needed, our programs are smaller and easier to maintain. We have already used several functions that are built in to the Python core. For example, we have used the del function to delete items from Python lists and dictionaries, the tuple function to convert a string into a tuple, several math functions, and others. However, we are now going to learn how to create our own functions. Functions are simple, but there are a few new associated concepts that you will have to understand. Read the rest of this entry »

Nokia’s Maemo OS – The next big wave
Nov 20th
The next big wave
Trends in computers come in waves. Developers are like surfers on the shore spying out the horizon looking out for the next big one. Today I write about a wave that is just now starting to take shape, looks almost innocuous, but that has the potential to be a great ride as well – Nokia’s Maemo operating system.
There have been several Maemo based devices released already, but the latest one, the N900 seems to be really capturing the imagination of lots and lots of users and, in particular, developers. And that is very significant, even crucial for a platform, as Steve Ballmer has been known to admit. But aren’t all mobile device developers already coding for Apple? Well, they might have been, and a great many of them still are, but that wave seems to be heading in to the rocks and many of its riders are looking to get off. OK, you may say, but aren’t developers more likely to get on the Google Android wave instead? Well, some have already done just that, but I have reason to believe that the Maemo wave is going to be a lot more fun to ride. Lets see why. Read the rest of this entry »

How to take the Red-Pill and install more apps on the N900
Nov 19th
The N900 (and the Maemo platform) allows the user to, for lack of a better word, “turbo-charge” the Application Manager by opening up a variety of advanced features locked away by default. Enabling them requires taking the “Red-Pill” so to speak. you can always opt for the “Blue-Pill” but c’mon, you only live once. 
So, to enable this mode, open the Application Manager and select Catalogs from the drop-down. This will show a list of catalogs
Tap “New” and type the word matrix in the ‘Web address’ field.
Now tap on the blurry region above the Catalogs window. This will bring up the “big choice”
Taking the Blue-Pill will put you back where you started. Taking the Red-Pill will unlock the new world and the Application Catalog will display new buttons like ‘Settings’ and ‘Install from File’
The Application Manager will now update if an internet-connection is available and display a whole lot more packages. These packages are not only useful for development purposes but also for advanced use.
NOTE: Just a word of caution. Enable this mode only if you feel comfortable with managing the advanced features. The chances of getting your phone bricked are high if you don’t know what you are doing. If you are willing to take the risk, good luck!
