I’m working on a series of videos to share. I’m teaching an Advanced Programming class at Virginia Commonwealth University (vcu.edu) in the school of business. The idea with this video series is to reinforce things we go over in class. Here are a few:
How has it been like 10 months since I posted something? Work, life, the farm, they’ve all been super busy and crazy!
well, maybe they don’t LIKE ME, LIKE ME.. but they validated Fauie Technology, LLC. I can finally complete the registration for the Follow Me app! I’ll start to push this heavier once the application is published.
For day one, compatibility will be a PTZ Optics camera that does control over IP as well as an Amcrest 1080P POE camera with HTTP controls.
This allows a top end and a low end camera to be controlled by the same application. More information to come!

While building my “Follow Me” application, I got to learn a new programming language in quite a while. Swift 4 is new to me. I’m a super huge fan of Python. I’ve done Java for about 20 years professionally. This was the first time it took me a ‘while’ to understand some things. It also could be since it’s a non-web based UI application. I mean, I’m used to a ‘main’ function that kicks off everything. Even building a python UI, I started with a __main__ function. This one, I don’t. I get some sort of storyboard with a first responder. Alright, I’m rambling.
One of the challenges I had was finding examples for Mac OS based (OSX) applications. EVERYTHING seemed to be build for iOS. I get it. iOS is super duper more popular than Mac OS/OSX, but, I worked through it.
Thankfully, switching classes that start with UI to NS made a lot of the examples work!
Check out the first project:
It’s turning out to be closer to 90, but, I figure if you remove all the whitespace then it’ll be sixty minutes.
I’m going to start pushing out a ton of content on integrating different open source technologies. In order for me to feel comfortable doing so, I wanted to teach YOU about Python. There is no language that is as versatile as Python 3 when it comes to integrating data and applications. REST, JSON, HTTP, Databases etc are just EASY.
‘import something’
and it’ll do something. seriously easy
I’ve completed 3 of the 4 videos in my Python 3 course. This is free. All I ask is you like and follow me here and on the Youtube. It’s all about content creation!
This will be the base knowledge required for all of the future videos I do. Once it’s done, I can reference it all over the place! Below is the playlist:
