Python Functional Programming - Boot.dev

Python Functional Programming

Functional programming is back in vogue. There's a reason front-end frameworks like React and Vue are moving toward functional programming, and after this course you'll more than understand its benefits. We'll dive in-depth into all of the foundational concepts of functional programming in a familiar language.

💼 From Code to Capital: Why I’m Now Studying Money Like I Studied Software

Early in my career, I was deep into PC World, Dr. Dobb’s Journal, and CODE Magazine—learning everything I could about computers and software engineering. My father and his best friend kept telling me: “Read Money magazine too.” I didn’t back then.

Now, with retirement on the horizon, I’m taking that advice seriously. Just like I mastered tech through books, newsletters, and YouTube, I’m diving into financial strategy with the same intensity.

One standout? Varo’s savings account offering 4.5% APY—one of the highest returns available this August.

If you’re optimizing for the future like I am, it’s time to study money like you studied your craft.

Boot.dev Learn SQL

 What can I say, but how awesome Boot.dev is!!!  I just finished their Learn SQL course and although I have been working with databases for 25 years Boots just help solidified my skills and polished them.  I wish I would have took the course one day earlier because one of my recent interview questions was:

How to you limit the results from a read query.   Answer:  limit <integer> at the end of the query.

Example:

SELECT * FROM USERS limit 50;  -- MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite

SELECT TOP(50) * FROM USERS;  -- MSSQL

SELECT * FROM USERS FETCH FIRST 50 ROWS ONLY; -- ORACLE

Very good theory training on increasing database speed by way of normalization and indexes.

What is Encapsulation

What is Encapsulation in Object Oriented Programming?

It is the practice of hiding complexity inside a black box so that it is easier to focu on the problem at hand.

Could you please tell me more about Encapsulation in Object-Oriented Programming?

From my current understanding, it's the practice of concealing the intricate details within a self-contained unit, allowing for a clearer focus on the task at hand.
