If you work in any technical field, there is some level of programming knowledge required. Developers program code day in and day out, but even penetration testers, IT helpdesk, or SOC analysts benefit from automating mundane tasks to improve efficiency. If programing is a skill set that you want to improve, how best do you learn? Playing with redstone in minecraft will teach you about some basic logic. Youtube videos can show how to create basic discord bots to roll dice for your DND games.

I wanted to do a quick write up of the last project I did for class, it was a scoreboard app written in Python and used Flask. For extra credit we could host it on Python Anywhere. The app also uses SQLlite for the database. All of the development work was done using PyCharm. One of my Media and Information classes has a lot of programming based projects. We used two main different languages and IDEs to get them done, the final for the class and the early projects was done using C# and Unity, while the end of the class utilized Python and PyCharm from JetBrains.
