PDFMiner.six is not outdated. I would use PDFPlumber now instead of Slate though. I haven't found a good solution for extracting images though.

PDFMiner doesn't always extract text the way you expect. It will give you the coordinates of where it found each word or character though, which you can use to reconstruct some things.

Check out SQL's ORDER BY command - https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_orderby.asp

Not sure how I missed this, but yes. The commenting system stinks

It is just one of my series of articles on my blog that gets picked up by DZone. I write a lot of beginner and intermediate tutorials too, among other things.

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

You are correct. Thanks!

It all depends on what your goals are. PHP tends to be primarily for web development. Python can be used for web development too, but it's used in much more than that and is more of a general purpose language. I personally love Python and its rich set of features.

Actually this was caused by whoever reprints my articles on DZone. The code was correct on my blog - http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2017/08/10/python-101-recursion/. Anyway that stuff is fixed now.

Yeah, sorry. DZone grabbed the earliest version of the article from my blog. I had this corrected very quickly on my side early on. It's fixed here too.

I actually don't recommend Shaw's book any more. When I read through it, I thought his tone was rude to the reader and even demeaning at times.
Besides that, he said some really messed up stuff about Python 3 and the Python code development team - https://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/nopython3.html
There are plenty of other books out there that aren't like that.

I updated the original article on my blog to fix a misunderstanding about Fernet. Fernet is a module, not a cryptographic algorithm. Instead the Fernet module actually implements an algorithm. Sorry if that bit is a bit wrong. Be sure to check out the updated original http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2016/05/18/python-3-an-intro-to-encryption/ (which I will continue to update should any other issues arise)
