Good software is tested software. Testing our code can help us catch bugs or unwanted behavior. Test Driven Development (TDD) is a software development practice that requires us to incrementally write tests for features we want to add. It leverages automated testing suites, like pytest - a testing framework for...
A CSV (Comma Separated Values) file is a file that uses a certain formatting for storing data. This file format organizes information, containing one record per line, with each field (column) separated by a delimiter. The delimiter most commonly used is usually a comma. This format is so common that...
One of the best ways to exchange information between applications written in different languages is to use the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. Thanks to its uniformity and simplicity, JSON has almost completely replaced XML as the standard data exchange format in software, particularly in web services. Given the extensive...
Writing to files is a frequent need when programming in any language.
