Preface theSurfDragon.com

This website covers many topics of technical interest. Originally it was a site to teach Excel programming, LibreOffice Calc programming, and Python. These programming methods are of interest to engineering students.

After starting I realized it may be of interest for you to know how to create your own webpage from scratch. I included sections on Html, CSS, 3 column layouts, and printer friendly webpages.

My interest in Python started with my cursory investigation into AI (artificial intelligence) programming. AI programming requires at minimum keras, and tensorflow which are installed on your computer using the anaconda program manager. I conclude this section with a basic machine learning program using the Pima Indian Database.

All this requires a firm knowledge of basics in Windows and Linux. Since most people are familiar with Windows, I concentrated on Linux basics. I prefer Linux for my programming endeavors. But to be fair to both users, I have included chapters for both Linux and Windows operating systems.

My favorite topic is beginning Python. Here are some NEW useful tutorials on Python and PyCharm.
FREE Website! Introduction to Engineering Python: For First Year Engineering Students. (Windows Installation.)
Installation of Python and PyCharm on Linux.
YouTube link to videos for Python and PyCharm Windows installation.
Amazon link to the manual "Introduction to Engineering Python: For First Year Engineering Students".

Some new tutorials on Deep Learning with Python are coming!
The first one is on Google Colaboratory, an online site for deep learning.
