Source + Tweak...
Python as a tweaking tool
Assignment: To alter an existing SVG, either: (1) Generated from software (2) Obtained from online (open clip art, street maps? ...) (3) Place back online with an appropriate license...
An exercise in Performative Language
- Declarative vs. Procedural Languages (Handout!)
View: Put-That-There
- Code readings
- Moving up and down the hierarchy ... maybe link to Danny Hillis Pattern in the Stone text / presentation?!
Signicant and non-obvious idea: with free software, one really (can) begin with the code and use the code itself as documentation (it sometimes is the best / only documentation).
- Performing a script
- The concept of a "PATH"
- Creating a "bin" folder, ensuring it's in the path.
- Creating a "pythonlib" folder and adding it to the PYTHONPATH
- building a video Sniff / downloader
Claiming the terminal
- gtypist:
- Typing
- GNU
- Fortune
- .bashrc
(though... ktouch is better)
Open .bash_aliases in your HOME directory, and add:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/pythonlib
- argparse (+ Inkscape)
- http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/PythonEffectTutorial
- http://diveintohtml5.org/past.html
- http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-talk.1993q1/0182.html
- Rudimentary understanding of BASH scripts
- Make a PDF of a man page
- midge/midi output
what is a script?
what is a variable?
what is a loop?
sources of (live) information:
- date
- traceroute
