Specifically, I would start with say 146k of memory used, crea...

As one that takes in all "data members" as parameters or stick to the default constructor and use mutator / acc...
Is there a general convention about exposing members in Python classes? I know that this is a case of "it depends", but maybe there is a rule of thumb. Private member: class Node: def __init__(self): self.__children = [] def add_children(self, *args): self.__children += args node = Node() node.add_children("one", "two") ...
I have multiple kinds of an object, say Car for example. Do I have each kind in an inherited class/subclass of Car? Do I place these under a cartype namespace so as not to mess up the main namespace? Then later when I need an array of cars, should I declare it as var currentCars():Car or var currentCars():Object? Would the former supp...

I wanted to pass object properties in a method call. Is th...

What other patterns are used in web application development? I'm not necessarily saying I want to learn/use new patterns just to be different - I do believe there's a lot of value i...

I should start by saying I'm not now, nor do I have any delusions I'll ever be a professional programmer so most of my skills have been learned from experience very much as a hobby. I learned PHP as it seemed a good simple introduction in certain areas and it allowed me to design simple web applications. When I learned about objects,...
