For someone just getting into web development, would you point me to some resources that describe how to find and pull this data?
Ask HN: App for writing notes in the margins
I am looking for an app that will allow me to read books, take notes, and reference the notes at the page I took them. I would like to be able to do this from my computer or phone.Is there an obvious app I've missed that will allow me to do this? I've tried Evernote and Mendeley previously. Both seemed to work for simple papers but were missing common book reading tools.Thanks.

Looking at the scipy directory, I see how they've organized their data. What I'm missing is how everything is connected. Any tips on educational material teaching how to connect all the pieces? For example, to use scipy, I know I need to import it. What I don't know is what happens behind the scenes that allows the imported module to connect to everything else.
Ask HN: Improve my programming methodology, next steps
I have been programming various scientific tools for near five years. Some of my larger programs can have up to 1000 lines of code, including defining functions. I would like to break up my programs into more manageable chunks, ideally creating smaller programming tools I can call on to solve a particular class of problems. Ideally, I would like to be able to share my programs with my...

I just finished working through this book and I really enjoyed it. I went from next to no Python knowledge to writing programs to analyze raw vibration data in a few days. I had previous experience with Matlab and this book was very useful in bridging the gap between the two systems.

This was an introduction to Python. I went through every example while reading this book and rarely found a point where translating to python 3 was any trouble.
