With a brand new year, comes a fresh start, a clean slate. I am going to begin
|
|
my new year with something I have just come across: [100daysofcode](http://100daysofcode.com/) challenge.
|
|
I have forked the 100 days of code repo from github and am using the log to
|
|
track my daily progress. It will be fun, and it will be a great way to keep me
|
|
accountable for building my python knowledge. Here is an example snippet from
|
|
the code I did for day 1.
|
|
|
|
Day 1:
|
|
```python
|
|
def gen_ssh_keypair():
|
|
""" Generate an RSA private / public keypair """
|
|
key = RSA.generate(2048)
|
|
|
|
# generate private key - output to file
|
|
with open('rsa_privkey.pem', 'wb') as privkey:
|
|
privkey.write(key.exportKey())
|
|
|
|
# generate public key - output to file
|
|
with open('rsa_pubkey.pem', 'wb') as pubkey:
|
|
pubkey.write(key.publickey().exportKey())
|
|
|
|
return 0
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Day 2:
|
|
Today we are going to make a Discord chat bot. Bots have always been interesting to me.
|
|
Trying to make a computer program behave like a human sounds like a fun
|
|
challenge, and a great way to play some fun pranks on my friends on Discord.
|
|
So far, I have sketched up the initial framework in my python program using the
|
|
discordpy library. I will need to learn more about the following:
|
|
- asyncio
|
|
- coroutines
|
|
These seem to be two main concepts that this library uses, and it will help aid
|
|
my skills in the future when making programs that focus on performance.
