Looks like they send every Thursday a newsletter with a bunch of articles and reviews of apps and libraries. What are your sources of news/blogs related with Python? Any recommendation?

Message-ID: Hi folks, Venue for tomorrow's Wednesday Dojo: OneCodec, 35 Regent Quay, Aberdeen, AB11 5BE. Please RSVP in the meetup.com event. Max 10 ppl. *Some ideas:* Tic-tac-toe game. Hangman game. Scrabble game: Given a set of letters, make the longest valid word. Next, make the word with the highest score depending on the values of the letters. Next, find the highest score word that fits in a given scrabble board with words already in it. Travel salesman problem. Tower of hanoi problem. Other classic problems: http://blog.codinghorror.com/classic-computer-science-puzzles/ Script to convert English text to Morse code and vice versa. Next, encrypt and decrypt text. Given two polygons, determine if they are one inside of the other or intersecting. Used for example in games. Given a graph, find the shortest way of going from one node to another, like google does in its Maps. See you there! Daniel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
