I spent years studying Python so you can learn it in weeks. A fast course to learn Python as a PHP developer. Skip the basics, leverage what you know.

You're almost a Python developer. You just don't know it yet. What was once a book has become an online course , with more updated content. Take your existing PHP knowledge and map it directly to Python. You learned so many things over the years (variables, loops, functions, objects, etc.). Why not reuse that knowledge? My promise to you: this course is the fastest way to learn Python you’ll find , if you already know PHP. Whenever relevant, PHP and Python code are shown side by side so you can understand the differences at a glance.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  isometric.nyc – giant isometric pixel art map of NYC▲1,325

  Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
