C# For Python Programmers

Syntax and core concepts

Basic Syntax

• Single-line comments are started with //. Multi-line comments are started with /* and ended with */.

• C# uses braces ({ and }) instead of indentation to organize code into blocks. If a block is a single line, the braces can be omitted. For example,

--taken from http://benguild.com/2012/04/11/how-to-import-tasks-to-do-items-into-ios-reminders/#comment-1346894559
--set theFileContents to (read file "Users:n8henrie:Desktop:Reminders.txt") -- Change this to the path to your downloaded text file with your tasks in it! (Note the : instead of a / between folders) Or, just name them Reminders.txt and put them in your downloads folder
--set theLines to paragraphs of theFileContents

set theLines to {"task name 1", "task name 2"}
repeat with eachLine in theLines
	tell application "Reminders"
		set mylist to list "Your List Name"
		tell mylist
			make new reminder at end with properties {name:eachLine, due date:date "7/10/2014 3:00 PM"}

Python 2.7. Unicode Errors Simply Explained

I know I'm late with this article for about 5 years or so, but people are still using Python 2.x, so this subject is relevant I think.

Some facts first:

• Unicode is an international encoding standard for use with different languages and scripts
• In python-2.x, there are two types that deal with text.
  1. str is an 8-bit string.

2. unicode is for strings of unicode code points.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• A Russian translation of this article can be found here, contributed by Timur Demin.
• A Turkish translation can be found here, contributed by agyild.
• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
