Building modern Python API backends in 2022

This guide comes from experience building api backends for a variety of startups in different industries, it serves as a starting point for what the state of “best practise” is for how we think about organising Python projects, structuring code, testing, and common libraries we’ve reused across projects.

Using a Raspberry Pi as a Bluetooth speaker with PipeWire

Do you have an old pair of PC speakers, or an old Hi-Fi, that you would like to convert into a pair of Bluetooth® speakers to play music from your phone? A Raspberry Pi can be easily used as an audio bridge between a Bluetooth® device and an analog speaker system, to make this possible. In this quick guide, I will show you how to set up the software on a Pi, using PipeWire, to achieve this.

Machine Learning From Scratch Full course

To master machine learning models, one of the best things you can do is to implement them yourself. Although it might seem like a difficult task, for most algorithms, it is actually easier than you think. So throughout the next 10 days, we will implement one machine learning algorithm each day using Python and sometimes the help of Numpy for certain calculations.
