Programming 102: Think Like A Computer Scientist is an 8hr course split over 4 weeks (2hrs per week), although I…
Hello,
Welcome to GeekTechStuff
my home away from home and where I will be sharing my adventures in the world of technology and all things geek.
The technology subjects have varied over the years from Python code to handle ciphers and Pig Latin, to IoT sensors in Azure and Python handling Bluetooth, to Ansible and Terraform and material around DevOps.
Let’s connect
Join the fun!
