Our own Nathan Smith had an 'itch' caused by a problem related to the 
game of Scrabble. Solving a problem with Python, from start-to-finish. A 
journey of challenges, a lesson of not giving in and hopefully a good 
story all round. Featuring, steps forwards, brick-walls, data-structures 
related to words, dictionaries (of both definitions) and Directed 
Acyclic Word Graphs (DAWG - application of DAG graph/network 
structures). Plus, a blind person's perspective on coding through the 
project, presenting overview information on the way a blind person may 
access code and what similarities or differences may crop up.


Creative Coding With Python: Learn how to code simple visuals in Python 
for games, innovative stats, simulations and generative art using a 
flavour of the processing library. This can be incredibly useful for 
teaching programming, visualising concepts and sharpening thinking 
skills. Abdur-Rahman Janhangeer organises the Python Mauritius User 
Group and FlaskCon* (amongst many other contributions to the Python 
Community including graphic presentation libraries)
* Flask is a very popular web framework
