• Learning Programming from scratch

  - by David542

  I am entirely new to programming, other than basic HTML/CSS knowledge. I want to learn programming as quickly and efficiently as possible, and I'm willing to put in the time (at least 70 hours a week). The reason I want to learn is because I have a startup that I've written a business plan for and have prototyped in Photoshop (both front-end and back-end pages). My goals is to have a prototype of the site up within 6 months. I have a good aptitude for math (A's in all math courses up through DiffEq and Linear Algebra). I assume learning programming from scratch can be a daunting task -- not because it is particularly difficult, but because there are so many areas and so much information. I want to make sure that I learn as efficiently as possible and have individuals (in addition to Google) to solicit advice from and that will help me when I get stuck or have questions. I know with other's help, my learning experience will be both more productive and enjoyable. What is the best way to find people that will help me in this? What are some good 'live' resources in addition to asking questions on Stack Overflow? Thank you very much for your time and help.

Here is my code: input_file = request.FILES.get('file-upload') wb = xlrd.open_workbook(input_file) The error I keep getting is: TypeError at /upload_spreadsheet/ coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, InMemoryUploadedFile found Why is this happening and what do I need to do to fix it? Thank you. For reference, this is how I open the file in the shell >>> import xlrd >>> xlrd.open_workbook('/Users/me/dave_example.xls') <xlrd.Book object at 0x10d9f7390>

• Do not match if word appears in regex

  - by David542

  I have a url, and I want it to NOT match if the word 'season' is contained in the url. Here are two examples: CONTAINS SEASON, DO NOT MATCH 'http://imdb.com/title/tt0285331/episodes?this=1&season=7&ref_=tt_eps_sn_7' DOES NOT CONTAIN SEASON, MATCH 'http://imdb.com/title/tt0285331/ Here is what I have so far, but I'm afraid the .+ will match everything until the end. What would be the correct regex to use here? r'http://imdb.com/title/tt(\d)+/.+^[season].+'
