Update, create and delte without interacting with your webapp forms

Is it possible for someone to interact and fuck up your database without interacting with your website? I know that even some really secure databases get hacked. . But is it really easy to hack a simple django application with database integration?

Thanks!

Humble bundle has 15 books on python for 12 bucks right now... Is the potential opportunity I'm looking for?

I'm a project manager and administrative head for about 60 people right now looking for a change. I manage technical people and understand what they do, need, and how to get it but I know I'm coming to a head in where I'm at and if I want to be marketable more than just getting by on a willingness to lead and 8 years experience doing it. I need to be technical as well. I've had Security plus cert and I've taught CCNA mod 1 so I understand computers and basic network design decently enough but I don't feel like if I were to get dumped into the workforce tomorrow I'm viable. My tech education was a mile wide an inch deep so that I could manage techs whose education was an inch wide and a mile deep. Is this humble bundle the potential opportunity a godsend?

When should we avoid classes?

I like to read about cool python project blogs and articles. What I have noticed is that many python programmers uses classes even for small projects. Do we need to use classes for every python projects? Do python veterans recommend writing codes only with classes or we can avoid it?

Payment system for monthly subscriptions (SAAS application)

I'm currently building an SPA and wondering if anyone had some tips on the payment system.

* I plan on having monthly and annual plans, where annual plans are the same as monthly but reduced price.

* Using Stripe for payments

* It has a free tier and 3 paid tiers

* Ideally would be easy to change price plans and have that reflected on the billing page for the customer.

Would be nice to hear what packages you used, example models and any do's and don'ts for long-term success.

Send javascript variables value to flask?

So I'm doing a school project and I have made a web game. I now need to send the score from that game to the backend, so it can be stored in my database. How do I do this?

I've been looking online but they all use forms/input boxes, whereas I need to be able to call a function automatically (not pressing a button) and have that function send it to flask.

Can anyone link me a decent tutorial that does it in the way I need?

cheers.

Serial Programming [Help]

I tried to send data to a fingerprint sensor but the the write() method just returns different integers if I use different argument hex values.


>>> import serial
>>> ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyAMA0', baudrate=9600, timeout=0.5)
>>> ser.write('\x01')
1

The fingerprint doesn't seem to initialize. I tried checking it by cranking up the LED to see if the sensor is initialized, but the LED doesn't seem to work either.

Tkinter or pygame?

Hi everyone,

Currently creating my beginners game design class for 14-15 year old students. The school's IT team is struggling to install pygame and is contemplating giving me a set of *nix laptops as it is much easier to install pygame. However as I will be new at this school I don't want to get the IT team annoyed at me, I am thinking that maybe I should use tkinter instead. I only need to give my students a taste of python as we will be using game maker for the majority of the time ( as the next unit we will be exploring python in depth and will be using cloud 9 edu so I have full control over the environment they are using). My husband who is a professional python programmer hates tkinter (cites a bad experience when he was learning python as his reason) and feels that I should persist and ask for pygame. I haven't had an issue with tkinter but now I am second guessing my choice. Is using tkinter a suitable choice for creating a simple game?
