Articles about programming in various languages, mainly Python but also Scala, Erlang, C. Other topics I discuss are algorithms, compilers, architectures, operating systems, testing.



All my retroprogramming articles, bits and bytes, and low level investigations. Home of the "Exploring the Amiga" series. Beware of the dragons!

Python 3 OOP

Python 3 Object-oriented Programming

A series of posts that dig into the Python implementation of the Object-oriented paradigm. No previous knowledge of the topic is required, but an initial knowledge of the Python syntax is useful.

A Game of Tokens

A game of tokens

Python, Ruby, Javascript, C, Erlang, how many different languages. But how does a compiler work? How si the source code converted into something that works? Let's write a simple language interpreter using TDD!

Exploring the Amiga

Exploring the Amiga

Is it worth unearthing old architectures? Is it worth understanding how a computer system from the 80s worked? I believe old architectures can teach us a lot, so let's explore "the computer that wouldn’t die"!

Clean Architectures in Python

Clean Architectures in Python

The clean architecture is the opposite of spaghetti code, where everything is interlaced and there are no single elements that can be easily detached from the rest and replaced without the whole system collapsing. The main point of the clean architecture is to make clear "what is where and why", and this should be your first concern while you design and implement a software system, whatever architecture or development methodology you want to follow.
