Hello! This week I was introduced to basic graphics in the Python coding language. Using a module called PyQt, I was able to start making rudimentary graphical user interfaces (GUI).

Our first assignment in graphics was to basically just play around with different objects and make a very basic GUI that at least didn’t look horrible. I decided to make a program where the user inputs a username and password and if they match, it will display a message saying “success”.  Though this seems easy, it actually was quite challenging to make. However, once I finished I got a bit carried away and started implementing more features such as a CAPTCHA (a test to tell whether a user is a human or robot).

My GUI

On top of the GUI assignment, we were introduced to databases through a presentation. I haven’t gotten to the database assignment yet, but I can already tell that I have some catching up to do in regards to databases because much of the presentation went over my head at first.

Apart from the internship, I’ve started training a lot for soccer because the season is approaching rapidly and we’re going for back-to-back state titles!
