Imperial Measurement Converter App on Python

Imperial measurement system converter app

I decided to spend an evening making a unit converter app without using an api to do the heavy lifting for me *and* with a python based gui because I haven't really made anything with one of them before and this is the result:

👍👍👍

I installed Tinkter to get the GUI (graphical user interface)

This is the GUI it produces when it's running.

The next job is to tidy up the code, it needs it. Then I want to add some more functionality to it. I can add volume conversion or weight. I've always wanted to do some research into old money so I can add that to the app.

After I've added a bit more functionality to it I'll find a way to host it on the public internet.

This is my advice to any other programmers out there: Once you've got something working make the most of it because it's easier to add things onto something that's already working than starting a whole new thing from scratch.

A Beginner’s Guide to AI & Machine Learning Terms (No Tech Background Needed!)

📶💻💹 Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are terms that are used by a lot of people but do you know about the technical nuts and bolts of how they actually work? If you don't that's OK, — I’ve broken down some of the most common terms you might hear in the world of AI/ML into simple explanations anyone can understand. Plus, if you're using Google Colab , there's a built-in AI assistant called Gemini that can help you understand and write code but you need to know the right questions to ask it first. 1. NLP (Natural Language Processing) 🎤🎧 NLP is a branch of AI that helps computers understand and work with human language. Think of it as the technology behind things like chatbots, language translators, and voice assistants like Siri or Alexa. It allows machines to “read” and make sense of text or speech, just like we do. 2. BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) BERT is a special AI model developed by Google that he...

Learn Universal Communication By Learning Esperanto

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...
