If you are to calculate the number of days before your next holiday, use how many days until. The tool lets you work with dates using natural English (similar to Outlook Calendar). You would normally need an Excel spreadsheet and may have to learn some formulas to perform basic calculations involving date and time but not with Wolfram Alpha. Alternate queries that will get the same information about your computer include “who am i” and “what is my ip.” Here are some examples:Ī query like “where am i” will reveal your IP address and your current geographic location. Wolfram Alpha, a search engine developed by Stephen Wolfram, can solve a much wider array of problems and unlike Google, it doesn’t require to type queries in any particular syntax. However, it is not the only tool that offers instant answers. You'll have much more fun and learn far fewer bad habits than you will with PHP.Want to know the current time in London, or how much is 10 pounds in grams? Google can directly answer some of these common questions without requiring you to sift through pages and pages of links. My comment about Python and Django stand.
There's a reason people make blogs as their first applications: they're simple and they cover quite a lot of material. As I've said two times already, WA is far from a simple webdev problem in that it's only about 2% actual webdev. If, and I suspect this is the truth, you're just looking for a good webdev project to step into, pick something simple. When you've got that down, you can easily take that output and assemble it for website consumption.Īgain, forget about the website stuff learn how to program first. It's much easier to set up (as you don't have to worry about models, views, etc). You could easily do this from a command line instead of a web page. The important thing to say is the web side of this project is far less important than the searching logic. As for the framework Django is probably the best supported. Python is awesomely easy to understand for people who have done any programming before and I would expect that simplicity extends to those who haven't done any programming either. Personally, I would have a look at a Python (a language) framework. I would stay as far away from PHP as you can as it's only going to teach you bad programming habits. Wolfram Alpha is fathoms more complex.Īt the very least, you're going to need a proper programming language and you're going to need to know it. Even a good simple search engine (read: google, et al) is by no means simple. As a deleted post here says, WA is by no means a simple search engine.
