It was suggested to peruse a big list of projects that might work for you. They pre package a huge amount of open source projects to run on say AWS in their own linux distro. If you find a project that looks interesting you can go to that projects website and look at docs and stuff. Then run that project how you want.
I have been using Odoo for years to generate invoices for my little IT business. I don't use any features that cost money. I am working a web store for my wife and have been playing with erpnext. It is written in Python / Javascript and can be installed on your own servers. I has a lot of features that cost in Odoo but are free and looks like it is easer to modify.
It is completely web based. But if you bookmark it to the desktop it runs like an app even having an update to new release button in the settings to force the update of the javascript and stuff.
I works great I use it on my iPad and iPhone.
I have not read this yet thanks. I did not realize PG has a bunch of H. Beam Piper
I started as a sysadmin in 1995 and started programming not long after that. I spent most my time in a shell and vim, started writing python all in vim. Then I took on a project that was a graphical application for windows and OS X. It was a rewrite of a windows visual basic app that we did not have the source for, so now good opportunity to write a multi platform application.
I wrote that program in python/pyQt3. Started on linux (which it also ran on) decided to look at IDE's to help with pyQt I found Eric3. It made writing the first app and many after a lot easier.
So moved on from there a few years later and I use Jetbrains Pycharm commercial if I am writing anything bigger then a quick script I will do it in Pycharm.
Some of the things I like in Pycharm.
- really good vim emulation
- the linter finds code problems very well
- completion is great
- debugger is fantastic I rarely use a print to debug but it still happens
- Increase's productivity, hard to see at first.
I strongly recommend looking at IDE's start with Kdev and see where it goes also try the trial version of Jetbrains Clion. https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/
It feels like a lot of extra work to learn an IDE but it pays in productivity. Watch some videos on Clion.
