What is Python?
Python is a programming/scripting language that can be used on many different computers and operating systems, including Windows, Unix, Macintosh, etc.
A Neural Network in Python, Part 2: activation functions, bias, SGD, etc.
This is Part 2 of A Neural Network in Python, which was a very simple neural network to learn the XOR function. This part builds on that example to demonstrate more activation functions, learning a simple math function, adding a bias, improvements to the initial random weights, stochastic gradient descent, mean square error loss function,
A Neural Network in Python, Part 1: sigmoid function, gradient descent & backpropagation
In this article, I’ll show you a toy example to learn the XOR logical function. My objective is to make it as easy as possible for you to to see how the basic ideas work, and to provide a basis from which you can experiment further. In real applications, you would not write these programs
Batteries Included: A quick look at Python modules
This article introduces the idea of importing Python modules that manage many common and/or special tasks that you would otherwise have to write programming code for. IDLE is featured in this article because of some of its handy features, but you can follow the examples in other ways as well. The material in this article
Jython and Swing
A simple demonstration of using Java Swing from the Jython interactive interpreter. The following is an example of using the Jython interactive interpreter from the Windows 2000 command prompt. On this page, we demonstrate several Jython basics, including: Please note that your web browser will probably wrap some longer lines of code. In our example,
Joe Useless Writes A Program: An Everyday Person’s Guide to Software Development
Writing computer programs to distribute is a process, but it can be a simple one. This article follows our hero Joe Useless on his journey from wanting a simple problem solved to giving his friends the answer in a program they can use over and over. This article is a work in progress, and helpful
