Hey everyone! I'm a brand new developer! I've built apps on no-code platforms Bravo Studio and Xano, worked with senior developers, and have just begun a Software Engineering Immersive at General Assembly! I'm also a startup founder who has finally, but extremely gladly, made the step to put my foot down and become a developer! I'm super excited to be here and am particularly interested in React Native Mobile App Development, PostgreSQL, and Google Cloud.

Hey Angeline and welcome to DEV!

While you've yet to code (at least traditionally code — after all no code is coding too in it's own way), it definitely sounds like you know you're way around! Wishing you the best as ya start your developer journey!

Hi everyone! I'm a Junior Software Developer looking to learn as much as I can to improve my skills. I enjoy using React.js but also think Python is super cool. I am a digital artist as well and love illustration and animation.

Hello everyone, Sloan advised me to introduce myself to the community. Here I am, I'm Mauro from Italy and about 5 months since I entered into the programming world. At the moment I am studying with CodeCamp and previously I have followed various YouTube tutorials from different developers. I am focusing on HTML rules and having familiarity with CSS. Before delving into other languages I prefer to strengthen these 2. The next step will be javascript, at the moment I am not familiar with it, but I have Tony Chan's book on my nightstand, which I have only read the first few pages so far. I am no longer very young, 50 years old, and the white beard shows it, but I think there is no age for programming, then it depends on what goals one gives oneself. I hope to become a good front-end developer with these 3 "languages." That's all, greetings to all the community ;)

Hey'all, I'm an second year undergraduate aspiring physicist from Hong Kong who has more than a few limbs dipped in the coding pool - in fact I originally wanted to pursue computer science before I learned how much of physics nowadays is just actually computer science in disguise!

I'm definitely a novice but have been really fortunate to have gotten some incredible opportunities working in the industry to be able to push my skills beyond what I dreamed they could ever be - specializing in breaking code with anything from tensorflow to megalib.

The majority of my day-to-day coding is just tweaking my laptop's linux config through largely lua and python - so I really look forward to engaging with DEV's communities engaged with any languages I'm learning/tweaking with, especially the *nix-oriented ones!

Introduction

PyStateMachine is a Framework that support state machines in Python

Requirements

  • Python3

How to Run

How do we import the framework?

  1. Insure that Python3 is installed:

  2. Install the PyStateMachines framework

    • pip3 install PyStateMachines

Example

After framework is installed, import and create a small example Create xml file from sample with the State machine states.

myStateMachine.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<x:States xmlns:x="pystatemachine:sm">
    <State>
        <Name>State1</Name>
        <Event>
            <Name>ToState2</Name>
            <ToState>State2</ToState>
        </Event>
    </State>
    <State>
        <Name>State2</Name>
        <Event>
            <Name>ToState3</Name>
            <ToState>State3</ToState>
        </Event>
    </State>
    <State>
        <Name>State3</Name>
        <Event>
            <Name>ToState1</Name>
            <ToState>State1</ToState>
        </Event>
    </State>
    <Initial_State>State1</Initial_State>
</x:States>

Create Python Script to run state machine pyStateMachine.py

# importing necessary packages
from StateMachine import StateMachine

"""Test StateMachine"""
sm = StateMachine("myStateMachine.xml")
sm.LoadStateMachine()

# print initial state
print(sm.get_current_state())  # current_state == State1

sm.InjectEvent("ToState2")
print(sm.get_current_state())  # current_state == State2

sm.InjectEvent("ToState3")
print(sm.get_current_state())  # current_state == State3

sm.InjectEvent("ToState1")
print(sm.get_current_state())  # current_state == State1

run Python script to execute state machine

python pyStateMachine.py

pyStateMachineUnitTest.py

Heyo! Welcome to DEV (or dev.to, haha same thing)

Here's the about page for DEV that explains a little bit for ya.

In a simple sense, we're a community for software developers to post articles about what they're learning and interested in. Often these will be tutorials (walking you through how to do something in code) or editorials (folks talking about working in the industry, overcoming burnout, etc.). Folks also regularly share videos (generally by embedding them into posts, though we also have a videos section) and podcasts.

Something that we pride ourselves on is having a strong Code of Conduct and being a welcoming, inclusive, diverse community. We do our best to foster a kind, encouraging community that is for developers of all backgrounds and skill levels.

Let me know if you have any questions, but otherwise, welcome and hope ya really dig being a part of the community!

Yes indeed! Great question!

Right now, credits are solely used for purchasing DEV Listings which are located here - dev.to/listings. You can use listings to advertise events, products, services, or really anything else that is appropriate for devs.

Hope this helps!

Hello all,

Old dev here, been doing web development since you had to code exceptions for Netscape. Recently moved to management and looking to expand networks and find some talent. Figure I have some decent career advice I can give, or even some tips for modernizing legacy apps since I've done a rather lot of that over the years.

Currently looking for some mid-sr level node/react developers. Fully remote, but must be in the US. Hit me up if you want to talk about it.
