Learning Python Programming Language Through Video Lectures
in Python added by admin, on 8/3/2008 beginner tutorials video lectures
One of the upcoming projects I am doing (I will reveal it in one of the next blog post) is going to be written entirely in Python. I have a good understanding of Python but, same as I had with JavaScript, I have little experience doing projects from the ground up in it. Before diving into the project I decided to take a look at a few Python video lectures to learn language idioms and features which I might have not heard of.

Configuring ActionMailer
in Ruby added by admin, on 10/12/2007 beginner tutorials email
Configuring ActionMailer for the first time can be a little bit troublesome. You have to worry about the server, port, domain, authentication, address to send from and whether you're configuring smtp or sendmail. You have to set things up for both your production and development servers, and you have to make sure that everything's kosher so that your messages won't get knocked down by spam filters.
