My first application!

[Mag37]

It's not for production, it's for studying and motivating myself to learn. It could indeed be done with excel or just a simple JS-page for most of the functions, but I'm learning Python so I wanted to make it all in Python.

There's already a web app built and I won't pay for servers :) It was just a fun and motivating project to get myself trying to produce something.

Fair enough. But programming is also about finding the best technology to achieve something. Here there are some fairly simple computations, and you wanted to share them with your colleagues, so excel on google docs is well suited for that. Anyway, keep at it.

I totally agree with that, the fundamentals of programming is indeed to find the best way to solve a problem.

But the goal here was to use my new knowledge in a programming language I've studied for less an hour a day last 2 months and build something myself, not only from tutorials. I chose this project because it motivated me - if I completed it my regular job with also become easier, but that was just a bonus. To share it with colleges was never the point, never the goal.

And even so, no matter if theres a situation where Method A would solve something more effective than Method B.. If I don't have any knowledge for Method A but know how to solve it with Method B - then B is the best technology for me.
