In our previous episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots taught us how to create lookup tables with jq from JSON data using the from_entries command. Just when we have that conquered, this time he teaches us how to do the exact opposite – disassemble lookup tables. I think this was a really fun lesson […]

CCATP #788 — Bart Busschots on PBS 162 of X — jq: Altering Arrays & Dictionaries
Bart Busschots is back to teach us how to alter arrays and dictionaries in JSON files using jq. Bart went through his challenge solution on cleaning up the Nobel Prize database and I learned a lot from it. Maybe he’d already taught all of it to us before but I sure wouldn’t have been able […]

CCATP #785 — Helma van der Linden on Porting XKPASSWD from Perl to JavaScript
Helma Visiting Steve & Me from The Netherlands This week’s Chit Chat Across the Pond Lite is a stretch to the word “Lite”. I’d call it a crossover episode of Lite and Programming By Stealth. Helma van der Linden joins me to tell the story of how she has successfully started the new version of […]

Two weeks ago, Bart Busschots and I recorded a Programming By Stealth episode covering more queries using the jq language on our JSON files. We spent so much time working through the challenges from the previous installment that we only made it halfway through his tutorial shownotes. So this week we’re back with the second […]

After our annual break from Programming By Stealth that happens at an unknown time for an unknown length every single year, Bart and I are back with a new episode of Programming By Stealth. Bart introduces us to a language called jq and a terminal command called jq which together are used to help query […]

In Programming By Stealth 152A Bart and I decided to hold off on the middle of the lesson he’d written up. That middle bit where he said to “put a pin in it” was about the use of xargs. I’m really glad we did skip it in the last installment. It’s a pretty useful concept […]

In this rather mind-bendy episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots takes into the weird world of POSIX special variables and options. He refers to some of them as being like handling nuclear power, at one point he suggests mind-altering drugs must have been involved in the design, and he even compares one of our […]

Introducing the Programming By Stealth Student Organization in GitHub
Programming By Stealth Tutorials When Bart and I started the Programming by Stealth podcast, we were doing something no one had ever done before (at least to our knowledge.) Who would think that an audio podcast was a good way to learn to program? Because we were breaking new ground, we had no one to […]

In this week’s episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart walks us through how to create, add to, and extract from arrays using Bash. It’s a very light episode, which I manage to drag out longer by making him slow down and dig into the syntax used for arrays. It’s not just me being dense (this […]
