Looking for People Willing to Write Tutorials
-
Hey everyone, I know I've been really silent lately, but thats my fault. Had a lot on my plate to deal with. BUT I promise I will be contributing once again and will be better than ever! ;)
That being said, I really want to get things going with the new Pythonista Tools website that I've been sketching for us. I think the blog would be a great opportunity for people that know a lot more about Python than I do to write some tutorials for different scripts in Pythonista.
What do you guys think? Would you be interested in writing tutorials? Please let me know. Thanks!

I am very interested! Just in time actually. I just posted here my first code script. This is actually my current focus.

I can't find any contact information for you though. And we really need a way to packaged and import .pyui files.

If @techteej and the rest of the Pythonista Tools gang approves, we can grant you write access to the GitHub repository. That way you can post blog entries on the Pythonista Tools website. I recently posted a preliminary auto-install script for my mostly-automated Pythonista Tools blog client system. It is based on StaSh's
getstash.py. I am currently working on better documentation of the system, which I plan to host on the GitHub wiki. It requires both Pythonista and Editorial to work. Hopefully it's not too complicated to use. :) -
we really need a way to packaged and import .pyui files.
Try to run your .pyui file through
pyui_to_clipboard.pyand paste the result into a variable assignment in your code. Then useload_view_from_list()frompyui_variable.pyto load a view from that variable. This will enable ui objects to be assigned more meaningful names because beginners will really struggle to understandview4['label1'].text = str(sender.value). -
Thanks ccc I might try to compile these scripts into a more comprehensive script.

@techteej I really like the design. I'd be happy to write tutorials for the blog. Can I add @TutorialDoctor to the repository as well?
-
Invitation sent.
-
Count me in!!
-
Anyone is welcome. I do think some sort of process should be developed though before theres tutorials up there that might not be working or code may be missing, etc.
I forked the repo to get started on the new design. I have some alignment issues to fix mainly.
-
My vote is that we put tutorials in repos and accept pull requests. I thought that worked really well for the ui tutorial.

I'd love to contribute. My github

I think there is a need for an introduction to Python syntax for beginners. I have been working on a script for this. It is still a work in progress though. I could even turn it into a tutorial:

And here is my intro to programming tutorial:

Hi TutorialDoctor,
I am not sure how useful it is to write another basic Python Tutorial. There are many of these available on the net, including the "official" one at https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/index.html .
I am hoping to find tutorials for the special features and libs that Pythonista has.

Just a stupid question, but shouldn't the background picture be an iPad instead of a MacBook ;) ?
The layout looks great. -

I noticed that too. There's an iPhone lying next to it, does that count?
;) -
@Rosanne couldn't find a good iPad/iPhone stock photo.
-
I'd love to study the Tutorials.
-
Yeah. I was just sorta showcasing what I have been working on. I am sure there will be plenty of tutorials for the Pythonista libs.
-
@TutorialDoctor I do think there needs to be a section of the site for that too - especially since the forums should primarily be for help.
