For beginners, Python is a lot like BASIC, (remember basic?) in some ways, but don't let that turn you off. The code can get pretty complex and really artistic. It doesn't have to be dorky, it can be rather sleek, and aesthetically pleasing. NASA uses the programming language, so don't think it's a joke because it is very in demand. There are lots of high paying jobs that revolve around this scripting language. Even if you wanted to take an Online Python Course, it's best to try to learn a little on your own first, so you're not so alien to it. Enjoy the examples below!

Python Clock With Datetime Module

I can't remember if datetime is preinstalled or not but if not just use pip install datetime. The time module I'm pretty sure is pre-installed with python. For more information not covered in this tutorial please see the Python official datetime documentation. Thanks!

In this Python example, I'll show you how to use both the datetime and the time module to make a simple console based clock application. You can even resize the window and use it like you would a normal clock. The cool part about this is you can make the font size bigger and it's much easier to see. There are some TKinter syntax that allows you to do this graphically, and keep it on top of all other windows. I use it instead of the windows clock because it's much easier to read. It's fun to play around with.

As you can see this is very simple, straight forward, and gets the job done. You can also just say datetime.datetime.now() if you want, but the string formatting gives you more flexibility. We use the built in python time module to delay 1 second between getting the time, which results in a clock basically. The cls syntax is plugged directly into the command prompt like it's a batch file of syntax, and keeps the screen from flooding with each individual time. By resizing the prompt, we can essentially have ourselves a nice clock. It works great with AIM Pheonix, because you can just hover it in the side of the screen and it doesn't get buried under windows so it's always visible.

I hope you all know what a while loop is but for now it's a way of controlling something that may or may not happen over and over again according to your desires. So as long as _x doesn't get changed from 0 to anything else, it will repeat. You can easily add another function to this and turn it into an alarm clock. Let that be your homework if you're new to python. You can figure it out it's not difficult. Hint: If statements or a psedo-if statement using dictionaries. I highly suggest a Python 3 Book> to help you learn. Nothing beats the old fashion. Also follow me and bookmark this site because I will teach you more! On to the next example, and this one is cool.

ASCII Scroller

python tutorial

I don't normally share source code, but this one is so mundane that it's not that big of a deal to me. For anyone interested in computer science, this may inspire you to pursue a career based as such. The following is a short piece of Python code that I wrote to scroll the contents of a text file, html file, python script, etc, across the screen. It can also be used to scrolly ASCII art as well. Anyway I was able to scroll some cool code and it looks really trippy in its terminal based nature. I just updated this as I have one that changes the color of the text as it scrolls, creating a hippy like display of textual data. It's fun to play with the color themes as well. It's the perfect illustation of the basics of this programming language.

Here is the code:

I will add more examples to this page. I just recently added the clock. So feel free to check back for more in the future. In the mean time, you may also be interested in learning about netbios file sharing exploitation and prevention. It's pretty cool stuff, and if you like what you see on this page in general, you will love it!
