Why read books when you can learn things the hard way? Because good books are written by people with experience, people who learnt from their mistakes. No point in comitting the same mistakes and learning from them, when you can read a book and do better. Be better informed so that you make mistakes that very few have yet to come across.

HTML, CSS & JavaScript

Learn

Starting with the best introductory books to HTML, CSS & JS by Jon Duckett, just so that I am not caught unaware by any unexpected JS in the other books. Then moving on to the high quality publishers of content on Web Design, because as a beginner I should be learning from the best. Then everything else, keeping in mind that even if I learn just one thing that's extremely useful or thoughtful from an entire book, that's still great.

Using Python 3 + Google Cloud Vision API's OCR to extract text from photos and scanned documents

Just a quickie test in Python 3 (using Requests) to see if Google Cloud Vision can be used to effectively OCR a scanned data table and preserve its structure, in the way that products such as ABBYY FineReader can OCR an image and provide Excel-ready output.

The short answer: No. While Cloud Vision provides bounding polygon coordinates in its output, it doesn't provide it at the word or region level, which would be needed to then calculate the data delimiters.

On the other hand, the OCR quality is pretty good, if you just need to identify text anywhere in an image, without regards to its physical coordinates. I've included two examples:

####### 1. A low-resolution photo of road signs

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?
