I do hear about web apps but I don't know excactly what it is. Please guide me on building one for practice. I use QPython on my android tablet as I don't have a laptop.

I also hear a lot about bots but I do not excactly know what it is. Your guide will be much appreciated.

On 3 April, you posted this thread (www.nairaland.com/3720495/newbie), from which I gleaned you're a newbie. It's probably not the time to think of projects to do. It's time to understand the fundamentals, and know them to a comfortable level before starting projects. Do your normal algorithms and data structures exercises well for now, until you're comfortable. Then take a leap.
If you really want a hands-on approach, I'd recommended you enroll in an MOOC on edX (www.edx.org/). There are a number of introductory courses; find your preference and enjoy it.
Openlearning also has some good courses, so check them out too.
If you are a good solo learner, you'll enjoy it; if you prefer pairing, find someone that's at least as good and enthusiastic as you. I'm not suggesting anything, but I intend to start programming tutorials for beginners (on-demand) in PH by October. There are also better programmers on this board that can give you a good hand-holding until you're comfortable.
Use the internet well, get good books and video resources; they help a lot.

Please I need a pro to check this code for me. Its a program should accept input for user and count the number of vowels and consonants. But it doesn't work.


The Code:

v_count = 0
c_count = 0
alphabets = []
vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
consonants []

for i in vowels:
....vowels.append(chr(ord(i)-32))
....#update the vowels list with caps
for i in range(65, 91):
....alphabet.append(chr(i))
....alphabet.append(chr(i+32))
....#update the alphabets list
for i in alphabets:
....if i not in vowels:
........consonants.append(i)
........#update the consonants list

text = input("Enter text:\t"

for letter in text:
....if letter in vowels:
........v_count += 1
....elif letter in consonants:
........c_count += 1
....else:
........continue

print("vowels: " + str(v_count))
print("consonants: " + str(c_count))

web apps that are dynamic websites because they use a database to make it interactive

just download python 3.5.0
and python crash course which will make the development quite easy and fun

i mean the simple Create Redirect Update Delete not the messaging stuff
so it shouldn't be that hard

Thanks to you all.

Can someone please give me a very simple app to code in python.

Please how can I install web frameworks/libraries on QPython.

Python projects you can do. I have also done it but you will work hard
1: search engine (not as powerful as Google)
2: simple web browser

Argonn:


Please how can I install web frameworks/libraries on QPython.

i still have not been able to install any external library in qpython3. the qpypi repository is still empty the last time i checked and when i downloaded from pypi i wasnt able to install becuase of dependency libraries not bundled in qpython3. i was stuck with bottle the web micro framework.

create a simple forum with django

Please is it possible to code a HTTP server and a HTTP client on the same workstation and run them at the same time? Will they connect?

I tried it and the client failed to connect. Maybe there's some bugs somewhere. Please someone should shed more light on this

Please don't mind my stupid questions. I'm a novice.

THE GUY SAID HE DONT HAVE COMPUTER YET, THEREFORE HE IS USING ANDROID TABLET. UNLESS IF POSSIBLE WITH QPYTHON AND NOT QPYTHON3 HE CANT BE ABLE TO INSTALL DJANGO. HENCE, HIS ONLY OPTION IS BOTTLE MICRO FRAMEWORK. I STAND TO BE CORRECTED.

I HEARD IT IS EASY TO CREATE HTTP SERVER IN PYTHON BUT MYSELF I JUST STARTUP THE INBUILT SERVER AND CONNECT TO ITS OPEN PORT USING COMPACTIBLE BROWSER

The Code:

v_count = 0

vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
consonants []

for i in vowels:
....vowels.append(chr(ord(i)-32))

....alphabet.append(chr(i))
....alphabet.append(chr(i+32))
....#update the alphabets list
for i in alphabets:
....if i not in vowels:
........consonants.append(i)
........#update the consonants list

text = input("Enter text:\t"

for letter in text:
....if letter in vowels:

....elif letter in consonants:
........c_count += 1
....else:
........continue

print("vowels: " + str(v_count))
print("consonants: " + str(c_count))

I dont exactly understand the first part of your code, here is what i think should work for you (Python 2)

v_count = 0
c_count = 0
vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
consonants [b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,s,t,v,w,x,y,z]

text = input("Enter text:\t"
text = text.lower()

for letter in text:
....if letter in vowels:
........v_count += 1
....elif letter in consonants:
........c_count += 1
....else:
........continue

print "number of vowels = ", v_count
print "number of consonants = ", c_count

Please what IDE do you use? I'm new to python. I'm a .NET developer, and I'm trying to setup django in sublime. How do I go about that? (Using Python )

In absolute sincerity, i may not be of much help because i have not programmed using computer. i program on android using qpython3 and it comes with idle which i use then but have switched to 920 text editor.

google is your best friend. it is all about knowing the right keyword or keyphrase. and your problems are solved.

YOU can call on the likes of dhtml18, blueeyedgeek, magnificient1, fulaman, codehouse and maybe seun himself plus many others. i dont know if i got their names correctly but the worst is that this forum is not helping experts help learners.
