1. Begin with the 16 “rules” of Esperanto and its simple grammar Start by immersing yourself in the concise foundational rules of Esperanto: its phonetic spelling, predictable affixation, and regular verb system make it far easier to grasp than many natural languages. For a clear overview of why Esperanto is easier to learn than typical languages, see Why Learn Esperanto? (Lingolia) which outlines its regularity and simplified grammar. ( esperanto.lingolia.com ) 2. Use a structured online course to build vocabulary and grammar Enroll in a free, guided Esperanto course such as Transparent Language’s Esperanto module (which offers vocabulary lists, interactive exercises and listening tasks) to build a solid grammar and vocabulary foundation. ( Transparent Language ) 3. Complement your lessons with the community platform Lernu! Pair your formal lessons with practice on Lernu! , the free multilingual Esperanto learning site, which offers exercises, multimedia, dictionaries, and a co...

Unlocking the Power of Data Analysis: Tools and Techniques for Understanding User Feedback Data analysis is the backbone of decision-making across countless industries, providing insights that drive business strategy, marketing decisions, and customer experience improvements. With the explosion of user-generated content on platforms like YouTube, analyzing user comments has become a powerful tool to understand public sentiment, track brand reputation, and improve user engagement. Step 1: Data Collection – Pulling User Comments from YouTube Before any analysis can happen, we first need the data. In the case of YouTube, user comments are stored publicly on each video. To collect them, we use the YouTube Data API . This API allows us to programmatically retrieve comment data, such as the text of the comments, the date posted, and user metadata (like user ID or username). Here’s how it works: Set up the API : First, you’ll need to create a project on the Google Cloud Console, enab...

This is a summary of my GitHub Pages site!   https://cuthbert86.github.io/ It is my personal corner of the web where I’m showcasing a range of projects and experiments as I learn more about web design and development. Whether you’re a fellow tech enthusiast, a curious visitor, or someone interested in learning alongside me, I hope you’ll find something interesting and useful here. The site is a living portfolio, featuring examples of my work as I explore different technologies and programming concepts. You’ll see projects built with HTML and enhanced with popular web tools like Bootstrap, giving my pages a clean and responsive look. I’m always updating and improving the design as I pick up new techniques, and many of the pages reflect my journey in web development. One of the highlights is my exploration of Python and its many applications. I’ve included projects that demonstrate data analysis, working with CircuitPython and MicroPython, and even connecting devices using MQTT....

  This is the Python Code I wrote for my Raspberry pi so it could collect Data from it's sense hat and it saves the data in csv and sql format.  This code also connects to a data hub via mqtt, it converts the data into JSON format and timestamps every parcel of data it sends.

  Dear Sir or madam, Up until May-June earlier this year I was a mature Student at Sheffield Hallam University and I’m looking for my first job in the computing/IT/Data analysis/software development sector, I’ve always had a job during my entire adult life but this is the first time I’m applying for a job in the IT sector. I didn’t have a great start to my adult life, my entire family moved hundreds of miles away when I was 16 years old and still in school doing my GCSE’s.  At that time I was close to being homeless.  So even though I was either the best student in my school or one of the best I didn’t get to go to University at the same time as everyone else.  I thought I’d missed my chance and I’d never get to go so when I did go I made the absolute most out of it!  No amount of work was too much for me and my attendance was by far the best in my class. I’m looking for an employer/manager to give me a chance to do some good work for them, I will make sure they...
