I think should be an easier task, but it certainly depends on the person.

What are some of the goals that you have moving forward?

Are you looking to be able to program your own systems and take that over or just maintain them?

Ask the Programmer

Any thoughts, James?

Ask the Programmer

couple of other thoughts that may or may not be valuable.

Ask the Programmer

One would be to be able to have code just written as an emulator so that you can talk to a device.

Ask the Programmer

And of course, it's not going to be exactly that way, but at least it gives you something to test with.

Ask the Programmer

We, in my career, we spent a lot of time as independent programmers away from the system and we would write as much of our code as possible at our desk, doing as much internal testing as we could.

Ask the Programmer

We would load it into a processor, but we wouldn't have any of the equipment that it would talk to.

Ask the Programmer

So we kind of had to be resourceful, but of course the rubber hits the road when you load it into the system.

Ask the Programmer

But I would say we were able to get at least 80% or so before we would go and test it on site.

Ask the Programmer

And I'm trying to think of another thought, if you were able to get into a small system that maybe you would have used configuration and write that with Python,

Ask the Programmer

maybe you could test it that way.

Ask the Programmer

Obviously, you need to steal a system that is either in production or is live, but it gives you an opportunity to play with something.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 245 - Guest Chris Kelly Shares his Career Shift to IT and AV

But I would recommend taking a small system and writing that in Python, even if you would normally configure it, and that'll give you at least a good starting point that you could build off of.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 245 - Guest Chris Kelly Shares his Career Shift to IT and AV

Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 245 - Guest Chris Kelly Shares his Career Shift to IT and AV

You need a solid foundation to be able to build upon, and then you start to be able to do some of the more complicated things.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 245 - Guest Chris Kelly Shares his Career Shift to IT and AV

But I can relate very much, Chris, to what you're saying is that it's very hard to start with a medium-sized or a large-sized project in programming.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 245 - Guest Chris Kelly Shares his Career Shift to IT and AV

And

And that used to be a challenge that we would have when we would try to bring somebody new to our team.
