7 years of Programming, starts from this book

Hello Redditors,

7 years ago, I was a college student. My college doesn't teach me advance programming, but only basic of all programming language ( I learn from QBASIC, Visual Basic, Java, Cobol, C, C++, and more).

I love C/C++ back then, but I found some barrier while learning it. The barrier is: Different compiler and preprocessor while using different OS.

So I decided to learn one language that running in all platform. The first choice is Perl. I love because I can simplify and "code golfing" while code. But Perl is not my answer, because after 1 week writing the code, I forgot why I wrote in that way. I create many vapor code using Perl.

So, I need other solution for it. And my choice is Python.

​

My college doesn't teach me Python, so I decided to **pirate** [this book](https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Python-5th-Mark-Lutz/dp/1449355730). For 1 month and 2 weeks, I learn that e-book.

I also create some script for my private hobby (scrapping from online manga, automation file clean up), and much more.
After about 6 month practice with Python, I try to apply programming job using the knowledge I know.

For about 2 years works after that, I finish my college also pay all my college

Thoughts on using Django as a backend for a React/React Native location based app?

**Background**

I am more proficient in Django, and have begun looking into React in the past week. It looks like an exciting way to create a rich UI/UX + the ability to easily port to a native mobile experience with React Native. The tradeoff appears to be the added complexity that React brings to front end development (at least initially - I'd love some thoughts on this).

​

**My app**

* Will have a web interface
* However 95% of the usage will be from native mobile apps that would make requests back to the server
* 99% of my data will be geo spatial in nature - points & routes - so I was thinking of leveraging GeoDjango
* The app will be using location data intensively (pinging user location like every 5 minutes for hours).

​

**My question**

Does it make sense to use Django + Postgres for the backend/db to ultimately a mainly react/mobile experience? Or should I look more towards a full JS option? I have no idea what JS server framework I'd use, I am just raising the question to make sure I'm not missing a better solution to my problem.

​

Thanks in advance for your thoughts -

Using Alembic to migrate money stored in Dollars as Floats to Money stored in Cents as BigInt?

I think the title says it all, but I really don't want to mess with this stuff without some sort of verdict.

I need to transfer some pricing data, currently stored as Floats, into BigInts using alembic.

I know HOW to do the migration, in the sense that I know how to change the floats to bigints - but what about the users who have their data stored as Floats currently - what's going to happen?

Is it possible to use alembic to transform those floats by some simple Python script (say like, int(old_value*100)) in my Alembic upgrade?

Thanks!

Question : Exactly how much of the tasks should be done in templates

I am a beginner and still learning flask. So this might come off as a stupid question.

Jinja supports s bit of python-like code to be added to the html files. Depending on the coding style of the user, he/she can use multiple for loops and if-else blocks in templates.

In what kind of cases should the code be in jinja templates vs in route handlers.

Are there some best practices to be followed as to where to do what tasks(in templates vs route handlers)

​

Sorry for my poor English. Thank You :)
