Epithets, Explained

Introduction

──────────────────

I’m just making this post to help explain exactly what epithets are, how they’re used, and the different types. I know that for beginners, getting a hold of all the terms used in relation to deity worship and/or work can be tough, and I’ve seen this subject trip people up in the past when they read about certain deities or translations of ancient texts.

For a quick definition, epithets are “an adjective or descriptive phrase expressing a quality characteristic of the person or thing mentioned”. In relation to epithets of deities, you might also see them called ‘surnames’ and they're basically nicknames or bynames to refer to specific aspects or forms of a deity. Typically, they’re used alongside the actual name of the deity but there’s also plenty of times where only the epithet is used, such as calling Apollo by simply “Phoebus” and not “Phoebus Apollo” or calling Athena by only saying “Pallas”. This happens a lot in texts like the Iliad or the Aeneid where using the full name paired with the epithet every time would eventually end up sounding too repetitive but also, to ancient people, certain epithets would have been easily recognizable on their own and they wouldn’t need to have the actual name given. They can come before or after a deity’s actual name, order doesn’t really matter, it’s just whatever grammar rules you’re following.

Types & Examples

──────────────────

Generally speaking, there are four main types of epithets used in polytheistic religions: regional, functional, syncretic/fusion, and poetic. And just as a note; most of my religious experience is with Greek, Roman, and Gaulish religions so that’s where I’m gonna be getting most, if not all, of the examples used below.

The categories are, for the most part, arbirtrary but can be helpful when understanding epithets in a general sense when you come across them. Some types overlap with each other, for example, Dionysos Melanaigis (lit. Dionysos of the black goatskin) refers jointly to a functional/cultic role his worship played in a ritual during the Apaturia festival in Athens AND to a story in myth where he wears a black goat skin and comes to the aid of a guy named Melanthus (which is the mythic explanation for why he’s worshipped during Apaturia) but it makes Melanaigis a regional epithet (only used in Athens), a functional cult epithet (was only during rites to him for a specific event) and a mythic epithet (as it refers to a specific mythic event). Similarly, there's examples with Apollo; Delphios Apollo refers to both the form of Apollo specifically in Delphi (regional epithet) AND to Apollo in his function as an oracular deity of prophecy (functional), and Pythian Apollo refers to Apollo around the area where he slayed the mythical Python (so both a reference to myth as well as regional, in this case referring to the area around Delphi) and also functional, since it can refer to his oracular function.

Additionally, epithets can be shared by multiple deities, “Phoebus” was used to refer to both Apollo and Helios, “Antheia” was both the name of a standalone deity as well as an epithet to Hera and Aphrodite, “Bacchus” was an epithet for the Etruscan god Fufluns and to Dionysus and would eventually become to go-to byname for Dionysos in Rome. There are also epithets such as “Aetnaeus” which refers to any number of deities associated with Mount Etna, including Zeus and Hephaestus, and “Eleutherios” which could refer to Dionysos, Zeus, or Eros.

i. Regional Epithets

──────────────────

The first type is regional or locative/toponymic epithets. These are used when referencing a form of a deity that is unique to a certain place for whatever reason or originated there. Sometimes deities will have unique local forms because of the inevitable variations of religion in any given culture (no religion is or was a monolith) and there may or may not be pseudo-historical/mythical reasons for the specific local variation. But it's pretty much just saying “the form of this deity that resides in Town A” or “the form of this deity representing a specific thing they did at this site”, examples include:

➻ Diana Nemorensis — literally: “Diana of Nemi”, used specifically to refer to her cult at Lake Nemi and was the form of Diana celebrated there during Nemoralia.

➻ Apollo Palatinus and Apollo Delphios — literally: “Apollo on the Palatine” referring to the temple built to him on the Palatine Hill in Rome by Augustus, this form of Apollo was also Augustus’ personal protector. Apollo Delphios was mentioned earlier but it refers to the oracular-centric form of Apollo in Delphi.

➻ Artemis Ephesus — literally: “Artemis of Ephesus”, refers to a form of Artemis unique to the city of Ephesus who had a very different representation to the other forms of Artemis. This manifestation of her was transported to multiple other cities such as Massalia and it was a form that was a sort of mother-goddess.

➻ Zeus & Hephaestus Aetnaeus — literally: “of Mount Etna”, for Zeus it refers to the form of him which has a small shrine and festival there and for Hephaestus, it refers to where he has his workshop.

ii. Functional Epithets

──────────────────

These epithets are ones that reference a specific (often cultic) function of the god. Many deities have multiple roles or concepts they embody and have domain over, so epithets can be used to zero-in on just the side of a deity relevant to why you’re praying to them or giving offerings. There are also festival-specific epithets which can be used on specific festivals in honor of that aspect of the given deity. Some examples include:

➻ Hercules Olivarius & Hercules Augusti — literally: “Hercules of the Olive Merchants”, referring specifically to his ability to guard the olive industry in Rome and also “Hercules of the Emperor” which was used to refer to the aspect of Hercules that guarded Roman emperors. (Gotta say, if I had to choose, it's Olive-Merchant Hercules every time for me)

➻ Hermes & Apollo Theoxenios — literally: “of the Theoxenia festival” and was the name used to invoke both Hermes and Apollo during that specific festival.

➻ Aphrodite Areia — literally: “Warlike Aphrodite” or “Aphrodite of War”, used to call specifically on Aphrodite’s war function.

➻ Apollo Acestor & Apollo Kataibates — literally: “Apollo the Healer”, was used when calling on Apollo to aid in healing, and Apollo Kataibatês literally meant “Apollo, Protector of Travelers” (also used for for Hermes) and was used by people to thank him for a safe journey or to ask for protection on a journey they were about to take.

➻ Poseidon Isthmia — literally: “Poseidon of the Isthmian Games” which was used only to call on him during this athletic festival.

➻ Ceres Legifera — literally: “Ceres, Keeper of the Laws (of marriage)”, was used to invoke her in marriage processions and during the confarreatio (a type of Roman marriage ritual where the couple eats a cake made with sacred wheat)

iii. Syncretic Epithets

──────────────────

Another form of epithets are those that serve to equate or combine deities. Oftentimes, foreign deities from one culture may transform into epithets of deities from other cultures or two deities within a single culture might be combined into one. This was especially common with Iron-Age Celtic deities in places that adopted aspects of Roman and Greek religion due to being governed by or just from existing in close proximity to them. Within Greek religion, it was common for more “archaic” or minor deities to become epithets of deities that held more cultural prominence. Some examples include:

➻ Apollo Grannus, Apollo Maponos, & Apollo Belenos — Grannus, Maponos, and Belenos were all standalone deities in Gaulish culture that became associated with Apollo once Roman religious influence spread. Each has their own unique nuance but all seem to be related to Apollo’s healing function

➻ Mars Condatis & Mars Toutatis — Both Condatis and Toutatis are also independently attested Celtic gods and both were interpreted to be a form of Mars. Through some of his Celtic epithets, Mars gained a traditionally uncharacteristic healing function.

➻ Sulis Minerva — Sulis is a Brythonic healing goddess and through her identification with Minerva, enjoyed a pretty large cult in Roman Britain.

➻ Poseidon Erechtheus — a fusion of Poseidon and a mythical king of Athens who was most likely a minor deity at some point. It would go on to be used as a name for Poseidon when in relation to Athens.

➻ Dionysos Zagreus — This is an equation that happened mostly in Orphism and other mystic cults but the earliest evidence suggests that Zagreus was originally a standalone deity or an aspect of Hades which later became an aspect of Dionysos.

➻ Mars Quirinus — Quirinus simultaneously became an epithet to Mars and also maintained an independent presence in Roman religion. It’s partly through his identification with Mars that the latter started to be more warlike as opposed to an agricultural deity.

➻ Pallas Athena — In some tellings, notably in pseudo-Apollodorus’ “Bibliotheca”, this name is the result of Athena taking the name of a Titaness named Pallas, daughter of Triton. Could also be a fusion of Athena and the giant named Pallas.

➻ Serapis/Osorapis/Userhapi — Userhapi and Oserapis are transliterations of the coptic name for Osiris-Apis which became Hellenized as “Serapis” under the Ptolemaic dynasty. It is the result of identifying Apis (a sacred bull turned deity during the Second Dynasty) and the Egyptian god Osiris.

iv. Poetic Epithets

──────────────────

Poetic (or literary) epithets are, well, epithets just used poetically in ancient literature. They don’t refer to cult or ritual functions and usually either are physical descriptors, compliments, or mythic achievements. It can also include any epithets used to describe mythic standing in relation to other gods, such Ovid calling Aurora “Pallantias” to signify that in his telling, she’s the daughter of the titan Pallas. They can be used in a devotional sense and in a more solely creative one to evoke a certain feeling from the reader and set a scene and they may be referred to as “Homeric epithets” as well since many come from Homeric works. Another function of Homeric epithets can be to help a line of poetry satisfy the line/format requirements of dactylic hexameter. Here's a nifty overview of the grammatical and descriptive purposes for various epithets in the Iliad and Odyssey. If you’ve ever read ancient epic poetry then you’ve encountered loads of poetic epithets, examples including:

➻ Eos Rhododactylos: literally “Rosy-Fingered Eos”, Eos Erigenia: literally “Early-Born Eos”

➻ Aphrodite Philommeides: literally “Laughter-Loving Aphrodite”, Aphrodite Eustephanos: literally “Richly-Crowned Aphrodite”

➻ Artemis Khrysenios: literally “Artemis Who Holds Golden Reins”, Artemis Keladeinos: literally “Strong-Voiced Artemis”

➻ Hermes Argeiphontes: literally “Hermes, Slayer of Argos” (a shepherd he killed in myth), Hermes Kharidotes: literally “Hermes, Giver of Joy”

➻ Hades Polysemantor: literally “Hades, Ruler of Many”, Hades Nekron Soter: literally “Hades, the Savior of the Dead"

Using Epithets

──────────────────

When it comes to using epithets in your practice, it's largely a personal choice. By no means is it something that you MUST do but, it's also not something that doesn't have a place in modern polytheism. I, for one, tend to find that it can connect my worship to a certain form/aspect of a deity (for instance, Apollo) more quickly or serve to "set the mood" more effectively. I tend to pray to epithets of him for his healing/protective/oracular roles, however, I'm not as personally connected to his musical/artistic roles so on the relatively rare occasions that I find myself wanting to invoke those aspects, using epithets related to that makes me feel closer to them. They can also be used to enhance prayers if you're someone who enjoys having very artistic wording or just wants to glorify the deity you're praying to.

Another way I like to use epithets is to create my own to use in prayers or as a devotional activity. This could mean creating new poetic epithets as compliments to a deity, creating an epithet to invoke them at a local place, or even making an epithet for a role they have in your UPG but do not traditionally have. I usually try to make them in various forms of Ancient Greek, Latin, Gaulish, or in English but you could utilize any language you feel like, it doesn't need to be the language of the ancient culture(s) where the deity was worshipped. And importantly, it doesn't need to perfect. I am certainly not fluent in any form of Ancient Greek or in Latin so it can take a while to get the correct (or even just loosely acceptable) grammatical set-up and lots of comparison with actual ancient epithets. Just for some examples, here's some epithets I've created for various deities:

➻ Dionysos Tautoteus: literally "Dionysus of Identity" but I made it to refer to him as a protector/affirmer of self-identification in relation to sexuality and/or gender.

➻ Eos Dendrokhoria & Eos Anthestephanos: literally "Eos who Dances in the Trees" to refer to when the sunrise is barely visible above the tree line (I usually pray to her at dawn and there's a forest in that direction from my house lol) and the second is literally "Flower-Crowned Eos", just a reference to her being traditionally described as wearing flowers.

➻ Sirona Lindaia: literally "Sirona of the Lake" which I made to use when praying or giving offering to her at lakes, pretty self-explanatory but I also have made a bunch of others for her such as Sirona Nantaia (Sirona of the Stream), Sirona Natrix (Sirona of the Snake), and Sirona Dumnorigana (Sirona, the Queen of the Depths).

Some Useful Resources for Epithets

For most Greek deities, you can find lists of epithets to them online on places such as Theoi.com, within classical texts such as various Homeric Hymns, epics, histories, etc. Theoi is a great site in general, however it can occasionally lack further explanation and context for epithets so if you find that one isn't clarified enough, try searching it up independently.

Wiktionary.com is actually a really great free resource for looking up etymology and the ways different words are/were used in various languages.

For other languages, check things such as epigraphy [for example, CIL databases (Latin) or this EDH CIL database (across the Roman sphere), RIB databases (Roman Britain), IG databases (Greek)], curse tablets, papyri, etymological dictionaries or regular dictionaries. These can be really useful for obvious reasons. For non-Latin Italic languages and ancient Celtic languages, I tend to use etymological/reconstructed dictionaries this for Celtic languages and this for Etruscan. But again, you can make epithets just in the language you already speak, there's no need for them to be in some ancient or reconstructed one. Its literally whatever you want.

Beginnings (13/06/2024)

Okay story-time. Last summer, sometime in late July, I (Sam) started playing Warhammer 40k, as part of a large group of people who all started playing at my pub. My faction of choice was Orks, because frankly, they are simple to play, fun to run, have awesome minis, and (if you're as dreadful at painting as I am) easy to paint for beginners, because small mistakes fit the aesthetic.

Now many people who play 40k derive a lot of fun out of the process of rolling dice (myself included), but when you run lots of models with a variety of weapons, rolling all the dice, and counting the results can be very tedious and very time consuming, especially for high volume attacks that aren't very effective or consequential.

Luckily for me, in my spare time (Note: read as what I actually do) I moonlight as an undergraduate Physics student in the UK, and as part of my course I learn coding, probably with the intention of eventually having a career that relies on my coding skills. So I thought, rather than using one of the many fully-functional, and probably much better made Dice Rolling apps available on the Google Play Store, I would instead test my coding skills this summer (and probably into the foreseeable year to be honest), along the way possibly teaching some basic coding and statistics, and showing how the development of anything is a series of f*ck ups that eventually lead to the right result as I move from Python 3, to whatever software seems most suitable for basic app development.

I also might occasionally post some pictures of Warhammer things I've painted (badly) but who knows. For know this is Sam signing-off.

happy new year! im late, but it still applies

this is not a personal blog, so ill keep this brief: life happened, and c++ took a backburner. im not abandoning this project! in searching for inspiration to do this challenge before i started, i noticed that not many got very far- so ive decided in this time between the last post and now that i need to go at my own, albeit weird, pace. aka: do days as i can, and not do the catch-up thing i was doing. adhd can do that to ya. once im back on a schedule with school ill be able to incorporate c++ into my routine, whereas aside from my new job im flying solo which makes it historically difficult for me to get stuff done xP

where i left off a week ago, doing W3schools's C++ tutorial, i finished the function section, and today i began the classes section, which peaking at the section headers, made me excited. object-oriented programming is not something i learned in my intro to cs class with Python, and i know C++ does it well, so im pumped to be able to start programming with this.

unfortunately, though, the problem of it being a fairly informal educational resource does rear its head in this section, as im reading and studying this stuff, but can feel it not retaining. this website is better used as a reference resource, rather than a study one, but it is still worth studying imo as it breaks down concepts very simply. thus: im now beginning the C++ beginner course from exercism (an open source resource!!!!), which has a built in compiler, course material, and ability to get support on their discord. cool stuff! it took a minute for me to get acquainted with how it works, as i assumed the instructions were solely a repeat of the lesson, but there were. actual. instructions. beneath that lol so once i got that figured out i was able to properly solve the first exercise without issue.

the lesson material moves fast in its examples, but that is not reflected in the exercises, which was a relief as that impacted my first run, over-complicated tinkering i did before i realized there were actual values given i was supposed to input. theyre complicated but not too difficult to parse, which is a good show of what ill be learning to create as i progress.

final note though, as this is getting long: having W3schools as a resource while doing exercises material is very good, as while the first exercise i did went easily, the second one is jumping into if statements before ive had the chance to learn them from the website, so being able to refer to what they operate like was very helpful. this below is what saved me from error hell, as i had forgotten how to format them already:

im a goof and overcomplicate shit, so was not supposed to use if statements. oh well. this still helped to make it accurate lol

int myAge = 25;

int votingAge = 18;

.

if (myAge >= votingAge) {

.....cout << "Old enough to vote!";

} else {

.....cout << "Not old enough to vote.";

}

Shangri-La Frontier Episode 2: A Peculiar One

Worldbuilding. Incredibly important, hard to pull off sometimes. Shangri-La Frontier seems to have zero problem with it. As it does with action, and comedy, and basically everything. It's an incredibly smooth series through these two episodes, and it gives me a lot to talk about!

So let's talk worldbuilding first. While the wolf does show up in the opening, it's actually featured somewhere else more importantly. Yeah, in the image that I used for the cover of this post.

One of the new players actually points out the emblem that adorns this massive suit of armor. That emblem being a wolf holding a sword. Hmm, interesting choice for what's noted as an "achievement focused clan". To put two and two together, the clan's chasing after the unique monster that appeared to Sunraku at the end of the episode. Mostly because after we're treated to its appearance, we've learned that zero unique monsters have been defeated.

What about sneaky boss mechanics then? Ravenous Python is the area boss that blocks beginners from making it to the second town. Forcing them into parties is a great way to foster communication and interaction in this big world, so it's a great idea for a starter boss. Even better than that though is its design, with hair/fur on the head and the tail.

Like me, Sunraku didn't really think it anything important, but we find out that the python can spew poison from its tail. Immediately, the pieces fall into place, it's a little hint/giveaway at the fact that the tail is also a weapon/danger. Very very neat detail.

Some more boss details! While it's not officially stated, while Sunraku is stacking crits on the Python, it looks like it's potentially being staggered? That is, being hit with a critical temporarily stuns/staggers an enemy which provides an additional opening. Of course, being able to stack crits means that the stagger would be overpowered, so the python recovers rather quickly.

After the python dies we finally make our way to the first (though really second) town of the series, where we get some time with different players before seeing Sunraku. Not anything crazy, but the fact that they're telling us about what denotes a PKer is pretty interesting. What they don't say though is if there's any debuffs or real purpose to killing players, and where you can do it. They're only just outside the town so there's most likely not a safe area, but is it possible for them to fight in the town? Just some random thoughts I got from the episode.

So, Sunraku's in the second town now, and because he's died and has a skill penalty, he's decided to do some shopping. Really plain and simple idea, but they show off the armor he purchases as being from Mud Frog's, which are a rather simple/passive mob with a gimmick in the area. Really great idea for starter items, since they're easy to farm and only provide specific/simple defenses. Also, Mud Frog's another monster name from FFXII (though it doesn't bare any resemblance). Starting to think that the author might have a favorite game.

And this is where things start to get interesting with the world. When the NPC blacksmith says that nighttime's dangerous, they mean it. I love this idea and how they execute on it, starting with a Redcap Goblin. It might not have the iron greaves that typically denote a Redcap (though Overlord's do have them), it's still undeniably inspired by the D&D monster.

Even more interesting is the approach. It wears more complicated clothing than the beginner Goblin, sporting a necklace even as decoration. Further, it has a proper metal axe, a weapon even nicer than the blades of the Vorpal Bunnies in terms of quality.

The icing on the cake though is its intelligence. It's got a fighting style that can resemble the reckless abandon of the original goblin, but has far more refinement and a much more intense attack pattern, featuring things like even throwing their axe.

One step above that is how they treat the creatures of the night. This thing is clearly intelligent as it summons allies to its side. Like Sunraku says, this is typically a weak monster's trait, but when applied to a high level one makes them even more dangerous, essentially enforcing a time limit on the fight for viability. Really really cool stuff that doesn't just use overpowered monsters to make the night difficult. It ups the intelligence of them in several ways, arguably the most notable being the fact that these monsters roam at night when there's less people (making it safer for the monsters). Really really cool ideas.

Anyways, the episode itself is really really impressive in a lot of ways like I said before. The humor hits well and is balanced with the game talk and interaction, the story builds slowly and surely about the norms in regards to partying up and interaction (which is something Sunraku doesn't get in their experience with other games), the action is impeccably paced and the choreography is truly impressive, and the camera work is just insane, the tricks and ideas they implement in its movement are really really great. C2C is standing tall on all fronts with Shangri-La Frontier, poised to make it a remarkable and memorable experience.

Which Programming Language Should You Learn in School?

If you're in school and wondering which programming language to delve into first, well, you're not alone. One can say that the world of code is vast, but let's make it simpler and break it down, allowing you to consider what might go into this choice of language.

Start with the Basics: Why Learn Programming in School?

In school, people learn how to program to develop their problem-solving skills and logical thinking, and in the process open themselves to a variety of career choices. Instead, one might wonder: Which language should be the first one to get started with?

Best Languages to Learn in School

1. Python-The All-Rounder

Learn to Clean, Visualise, and Analyse Real-World Data

In today's digital-first world, learning to work with real-world data is not just a bonus skill—it's a must. Every industry relies heavily on data-driven decision-making, from healthcare to retail, education to finance. But raw data is rarely perfect. To unlock its value, one must know how to clean, visualise, and analyse it effectively.

Even if you're a beginner or an experienced analyst, these tips and tricks will help you reach the level you desire. When going for a data science certification in Pune, it is recommended that one’s training focuses on the following three areas.

Let me explain each step in detail with real-life examples to make the work easier to understand.

Why Cleaning Data Matters

Also, it is vital and accurate to note that raw data is often filled with various errors, such as missing values and inconsistencies in the results. A lack of cleaning may cause incorrect conclusions when analyzing data, as it will contain irrelevant information.

Real-Life Example:

For your purpose, assume that you have been provided with customer feedback data of an e-commerce platform. It is dangerous to make decisions based on such data because 20% of the email addresses are incorrectly formatted, and 15% of the fields related to feedback data are empty.

Key Steps in Data Cleaning:

Assume safely that there are no redundant values stored in the form; therefore, it is recommended to check and eliminate such entries.

Dealing with missing values can be addressed in different ways, depending on the circumstances that led to the missing data. This can be done by filling in the missing values with the mean, median, or by ignoring them.

Review for errors: These include spelling mistakes, syntax, and the use of incorrect formats, especially in dates.

Check for Coherence: Inability to maintain overall homogeneity, including consistency of units of measurement.

As a learner in the data science training in Pune, you would be able to handle datasets in the training mode, which will enable you to work on live datasets that you are likely to encounter in your working environment.

Visualizing the overwhelming volume of information we come across on the internet can often appear daunting. The task of visualising the vast amount of information one encounters on the internet. The process of making the loads of information more comprehensible.

The second step that follows data cleaning is the visualisation stage. Data presentation for Game Reporting Executives transforms data into a narrative — a method of making information easy to understand and use.

Real-Life Example:

One of the latest up-and-coming companies from Pune did the same for tracking customer acquisition costs. Thus, when presented with the data in the form of bar charts and heat maps, they were able to discover that Instagram campaigns yield a 40% better return on investment than email marketing.

Popular Visualisation Tools and Techniques:

Charts and Graphs: Bar charts, pie charts, line graphs, and scatter plots help spot patterns easily.

Dashboards: Create interactive dashboards to monitor KPIs in real-time.

Heatmaps: Useful for understanding intensity across variables, such as customer activity on a website.

Infographics: Simplify large datasets into visually appealing formats for presentations or reports.

Joining a data science course in Pune often gives you access to advanced tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Python libraries such as Matplotlib and Seaborn, helping you master the art of visual storytelling.

Analysing Data: Finding Insights and Driving Decisions

Data analysis is where the magic happens. After cleaning and visualising, the next goal is to extract meaningful insights that can influence real-world decisions.

Real-Life Example:A hospital chain used historical patient data to predict peak admission times. Through regression analysis and time-series forecasting, they optimised staff allocation, reducing patient wait times by 25%.

Standard Data Analysis Techniques:

Descriptive Analysis: Summarising data to understand “what happened.”

Diagnostic Analysis: Digging deeper to find out “why it happened.”

Predictive Analysis: Using statistical models to forecast “what might happen.”

Prescriptive Analysis: Suggesting actions based on predictive outcomes.

As part of a data science certification in Pune, you will engage in projects where you analyse real-world datasets — from predicting sales to identifying customer churn.

Integrating Cleaning, Visualisation, and Analysis: The Complete Process

While each of these steps can be powerful individually, their true strength lies in their integration. A successful data project typically follows a workflow like:

Import and Inspect Data

Clean and Prepare Data

Visualise Trends and Patterns

Analyse and Model Data

Communicate Insights to Stakeholders

If you're pursuing data science training in Pune, you'll likely work on capstone projects where you complete the entire pipeline, simulating real-world workplace challenges.

Tips to Excel at Handling Real-World Data

Practice Regularly: Work on diverse datasets from different industries.

Stay Updated: Learn the latest data cleaning, visualisation, and analysis tools.

Collaborate: Participate in data science communities and hackathons.

Document Your Work: Always keep track of the cleaning and transformation steps for reproducibility.

Many professionals in Pune choose to enhance their skills through a structured data science course in Pune that emphasises practical learning over theory.

Conclusion

Learning to clean, visualize, and analyze real-world data is a transformative skill that can open up numerous career paths. Whether you aim to become a data analyst, data scientist, or business intelligence expert, mastering these three steps is non-negotiable.

Selecting a data science certification in Pune can be the perfect launchpad to build these capabilities. With abundant real-world projects, expert mentorship, and a vibrant tech ecosystem, Pune offers everything an aspiring data professional could wish for.

So, if you're ready to work with real-world messy data, tell compelling data stories through visualisations, and drive powerful decisions through analysis, now is the time to begin your journey. Find the right data science course in Pune and start building the skills that the future demands.

hey question!

im currently a data analytics major in uni and currently learning python! i’m currently doing well grasping the concepts with the reading and writing it down. however, i know its better to learn to code by actually..writing code.

I read that I should follow a random code (like a snake game or something) and then copy it and write it code for code but then change some things up etc (i hope that makes sense how im asking this)

is there any websites that show an actual code and then I can just copy and follow that to learn? or how should I go about learning to actually write code and not get stuck in “tutorial hell” ?

thank you!! sorry if this is a lot :)

Hiya!

When I was learning back 3 years ago, I did more the "watching videos + replicate the code" method to learning how to plan, build and deploy projects, even with the very beginner project videos! I didn't do much searching online for projects in maybe articles, blog posts, etc and replicate it. However, that was because I learn more in seeing than reading - that's why I'm bad at reading documentation(!) (I would search for video explainations to the documentations...).

I know on my blog I promote "don't idly watch tutorial videos all the time and actually start coding" kind of mindset but I'm not completely disregarding the benefits of watching such tutoiral videos. Seeing how other people's approach to a project idea is great! One project idea, hundreds of approaches to it!

: ̗̀➛ Tips:

Take notes while following tutorials. Write down what you learn and how you solve problems in your project. This will solidify your understanding and serve as a reference later.

Once you grasp the basics from a tutorial, experiment within your version of the project. Try modifying the code, adding features, and see what happens. This is where the real learning happens. LITERALLY HOW I LEARNED.

: ̗̀➛ Best places I can think of from the top of my head is to find projects on GitHub and maybe Dev.To by searching the project idea and someone must of done it or something similar and uploaded the project/talked about it in a blog post!

Introduction to Microsoft Azure Basics: A Beginner's Guide

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses are run, facilitating flexibility, scalability, and innovation like never before. One of the leading cloud providers, Microsoft Azure, is a robust platform with an unparalleled set of services that cover from virtual machines and AI to database management and cybersecurity. Be it a developer, IT expert, or an interested individual curious about the cloud, getting a hold of Azure fundamentals can be your gateway into an exciting and future-proof arena. In this beginner's tutorial, we'll learn what Azure is, its fundamental concepts, and the most important services you should know to begin your cloud journey. What is Microsoft Azure? Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service and platform that has been developed by Microsoft. It delivers many cloud-based services such as computing, analytics, storage, networking, and other services. These services are made available by selecting and using those for the purpose of building new applications as well as running already existing applications. Launched in 2010, Azure has developed at a lightning pace and now caters to hybrid cloud environments, artificial intelligence, and DevOps, becoming the go-to choice for both enterprises and startups.

Why Learn Azure? • Market Demand: Azure skills are in demand because enterprises use it heavily. • Career Growth: Azure knowledge and certifications can be a stepping stone to becoming a cloud engineer, solutions architect, or DevOps engineer. • Scalability & Flexibility: Solutions from Azure can be offered to businesses of all types, ranging from startups to Fortune 500. • Integration with Microsoft Tools: Smooth integration with offerings such as Office 365, Active Directory, and Windows Server. Fundamental Concepts of Microsoft Azure Prior to services, it would be recommended to familiarize oneself with certain critical concepts which constitute the crux of Azure.

1. Azure Regions and Availability Zones Azure can be had in every geographic area globally, regions being divided within them. Within regions, redundancy and resiliency can be had through availability zones—separate physical data centers within a region. 2. Resource Groups A resource group is a container holding Azure resources that belong together, such as virtual machines, databases, and storage accounts. It helps group and manage assets of the same lifecycle.

3. Azure Resource Manager (ARM) ARM is Azure's deployment and management service. It enables you to manage resources through templates, REST APIs, or command-line tools in a uniform way. 4. Pay-As-You-Go Model Azure has a pay-as-you-go pricing model, meaning you pay only for what you use. It also has reserved instances and spot pricing to optimize costs.

Top Azure Services That Every Beginner Should Know Azure has over 200 services. As a starter, note the most significant ones by categories like compute, storage, networking, and databases. 1. Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) Azure VMs are flexible compute resources that allow you to run Windows- or Linux-based workloads. It's essentially a computer in the cloud. Use Cases: • Hosting applications • Executing development environments • Executing legacy applications

2. Azure App Services It's a fully managed service for constructing, running, and scaling web applications and APIs. Why Use It? • Automatically scales up or down according to demand as well as remains always available • Multilanguage support (.NET, Java, Node.js, Python) • Bundled DevOps and CI/CD 3. Azure Blob Storage Blob (Binary Large Object) storage is appropriate to store unstructured data such as images, videos, and backups. Key Features: • Greatly scalable and secure • Allows data lifecycle management • Accessible using REST API

4. Azure SQL Database This is a managed relational database service on Microsoft SQL Server. Benefits: • Automatic updates and backups • Embedded high availability • Has hyperscale and serverless levels 5. Azure Functions It is a serverless computing service that runs your code in response to events. Example Use Cases: • Workflow automation • Parsing file uploads • Handling HTTP requests 6. Azure Virtual Network (VNet) A VNet is like a normal network in your on-premises environment, but it exists in Azure. Applications: • Secure communication among resources • VPN and ExpressRoute connectivity

• Subnet segmentation for better control

Getting Started with Azure 1. Create an Azure Account Start with a free Azure account with $200 credit for the initial 30 days and 12 months of free-tier services. 2. Discover the Azure Portal The Azure Portal is a web-based interface in which you can create, configure, and manage Azure resources using a graphical interface. 3. Use Azure CLI or PowerShell For command-line fans, Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell enable you to work with resources programmatically. 4. Learn with Microsoft Learn Microsoft Learn also offers interactive, role-based learning paths tailored to new users. Major Azure Management Tools Acquiring the following tools will improve your resource management ability: Azure Monitor A telemetry data gathering, analysis, and action capability for your Azure infrastructure. Azure Advisor Offers customized best practice advice to enhance performance, availability, and cost-effectiveness. Azure Cost Management + Billing Assists in tracking costs and projects costs in advance to remain within budget.

Security and Identity in Azure Azure focuses a great deal of security and compliance. 1. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) A cloud identity and access management. You apply it to manage identities and access levels of users for Azure services. 2. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Allows you to define permissions for users, groups, and applications to certain resources. 3. Azure Key Vault Applied to securely store keys, secrets, and certificates.

Best Practices for Azure Beginners • Start Small: Start with straightforward services like Virtual Machines, Blob Storage, and Azure SQL Database. • Tagging: Employ metadata tags on resources for enhanced organization and cost monitoring. • Monitor Early: Use Azure Monitor and Alerts to track performance and anomalies. • Secure Early: Implement firewalls, RBAC, and encryption from the early stages. • Automate: Explore automation via Azure Logic Apps, ARM templates, and Azure DevOps.

Common Errors to Prevent • Handling cost management and overprovisioning resources lightly. • Not backing up important data. • Not implementing adequate monitoring or alerting. • Granting excessive permissions in Azure AD. • Utilizing default settings without considering security implications. Conclusion

Microsoft Azure is a strong, generic platform for supporting a large variety of usage scenarios—everything from a small web hosting infrastructure to a highly sophisticated enterprise solution. The key to successful cloud computing, however, is an understanding of the basics—ground-level concepts, primitive services, and management tools—is well-served by knowledge gained here. And that's just the start. At some point on your journey, you'll come across more complex tools and capabilities, but from a strong base, it is the secret to being able to work your way through Azure in confidence. Go ahead and claim your free account, begin trying things out, and join the cloud revolution now.

Effective API Documentation Strategies (With an API Documentation Example)

Effective API documentation is the backbone of a developer-friendly product. Whether you're offering a RESTful service, GraphQL endpoint, or SDK, your documentation must be clear, comprehensive, and easy to navigate. Poor documentation can discourage developers, increase support requests, and slow down adoption. Here are key strategies to ensure your API documentation is both useful and user-friendly.

1. Know Your Audience

Understanding who will use your API is the first step. Are they beginner developers or experienced backend engineers? Tailor your tone and examples accordingly. Use plain language for newer audiences and more technical depth for advanced users.

2. Organize Content Logically

Structure your documentation for ease of navigation. A typical layout might include:

Overview – What the API does

Authentication – How to get access

Endpoints – Core functionality

Examples – Real-world use cases

Errors – How to interpret error messages

SDKs & Tools – Any helper libraries available

Using a sidebar or table of contents can help users quickly jump to the relevant section.

3. Use Interactive Elements

Interactive documentation improves the developer experience. Tools like Swagger (OpenAPI), Postman, and Redoc allow developers to test endpoints directly in the browser. This can dramatically reduce the time it takes to understand and use the API.

4. Provide Clear Code Examples

Examples are often the most viewed part of API docs. Include request and response examples in multiple languages if possible (e.g., cURL, Python, JavaScript). Annotate them to explain each part of the request and what to expect from the response.

5. Be Honest and Upfront About Limitations

Transparency about rate limits, known issues, or incomplete features helps build trust. Include a changelog or release notes section so developers can track updates.

6. Keep It Updated

Outdated documentation is worse than no documentation. Set up version control and a documentation workflow that updates the docs with each API change. Use automation when possible.

✅ API Documentation Example (REST API – Notes Service)

Base URL: https://api.notesapp.io/v1

🔐 Authentication

All requests must include a bearer token:

http

CopyEdit

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN

📄 GET /notes

Description: Retrieve a list of notes.

Request:
