From Programming in C to Front-end Design: A Very Short Bio
My name is Airik Warren and I am a 21 year old self-taught programmer. For reasons that I've long since forgottten, I decided at the age of 15 that the best way to teach myself to program and get comfortable with Linux was to delete windows off the hard drive of my first personal computer and install Arch Linux, and then pick up C by reading K&R.
While I wouldn't recommend that learning path to anybody that has any other obligations to attend to, I've found myself appreciating and understanding Python and the other tools of the web development trade in a way that I don't think would have been possible otherwise. Lately I've been focusing my talents and efforts on helping others learn the joys of programming in a Meetup group I co-founded or making intuitive and accesible web apps like Tomatotimer.in.
What I've been working on lately
www.tomatotimer.in
simple productivity web app created to help remote teams synchronize timers and increase productivity.
Utlilizes a RESTful API built in Flask on the back-end which is consumed by the web client (written entirely in vanilla JS)
pip install pyguin
Static site generator written in Python, initially created as a presentation on the ease with which a custom SSG could be made, now gets used by me frequently and has a full fledged CLI interface
Written entirely in Python available via the official Python package managager, pip. Utilizes the Jinja templating engine and the excellent Click CLI library
