Frank's Markdown Notes
About This Page
Below is a list of links that take you to a page of notes that was created using my Markdown to HTML system. I created this page, even though I already have a notes page, because most of the time when taking notes, I don't need all of the functionality that is offered by the Lexical implementation and custom HTML and instead just need to primarily write text, lists, code, math, and maybe include a few pictures. This is easier and quicker to accomplish with Markdown rather than with a rich text editor. When I need to take more complex notes, I will use the article builder to generate notes for the notes page.
Markdown Notes

Reading Some More About Pandoc Before Improving Markdown implementation
Wanted to read some more about Pandoc before improving my markdown to HTML system. I currently do this with marked.js, but I want to use pandoc to improve speed. ...
nbconvert, nbformat, and traitlets
Doing some reading to improve my knowledge of how Jupyter Notebook to HTML conversion works.
Reading About Various Python Sandboxing Options
I am finally getting around to implementing sandboxed python. I am going to read about three options for sandboxing Python that I read about in the "Sandboxing Python and Linux Jailing" note. ...
Haskell Notes
I wanted to learn more about Haskell so I can understand the Pandoc code base more.
Lua Documentation Notes
I wanted to learn more about Lua so that I can make some custom Pandoc writers. The current Pandoc output does not mesh with my design system.
mpld3 Documentation
I want to take some notes on mpld3 to see if it is more practical to use / whether I should use it vs Bokeh.

Pandoc Documentation Notes
I am learning about `pandoc` because I might use it to make my Jupyter Notebook to HTML conversion system better. I also think I am going to use it for a project - a universal file converter....
Reading Some of the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide (APG)
Wanted to read the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide to learn more about accessibility. I probably need to return to the guide when looking over the design system to make sure that it is accessible....
Learning About Jinja / Introduction to Jinja
Reading some of the Jinja docs to learn something about it. I plan to use Jinja sometimes when using Flask in the backend for some API requests.
Reading the Flask Documentation / Introduction to Flask
Why Learn Flask? It is much easier to implement some machine learning / artificial intelligence tasks using Python rather than JavaScript or some other backend language. There are some tools that are built in and for Python, and so it is best to use Python to implement them. I plan on adding a Python systemd service to my server to implement some machine learning / AI functionality to this site. I also may use nbconvert for Jupyter Notebook to HTML....

Accessability for Web Applications
Here are some notes that I took on accessability for web applications. Accessability was / is something that I try to keep in mind when adding things to this site. It's definitely something to think of when putting together a web application, and I hope that this site has adequate accessability. It is probably something that I will look into again by testing this site against a screen reader....
Semantic HTML
Here are some old notes that I took on the meaning behind HTML elements. I was trying to getter Search Engine Optimization results for a React application, but I decided to switch to Server Side Rendering instead. nevertheless, these notes still apply to making a side that uses good, semantic HTML....
Search Engine Optimization
Here are some onld notes that I took reading Google's SEO starter guide. I was trying to get better SEO results using React, but I decided to transition to Sever Side Rendering for better results. Nevertheless, the Search Engine Optimization Notes taken here still apply in terms of making your site rank well....
Learning Regex
I am trying to learn more about the basics of regex because creating a good markdown parser kind of requires it. Here are some notes on the subject.

Rest of Notes for Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit Learn and Tesnor Flow
I decided to just skim the rest of the textbook and just try to become awarer of concepts and tools that may be useful. I think I will be able to learn more if I try to start training models using Kaggle competitions / other datasets and learn more that way....
Google Style Guide Notes
Taking these notes to try to get some helpful information about writing better code in some of the languages that I know.
Notes on the Go Programming Langugae
Some notes on the Go programming language that I took by watching youtube videos, reading / skimming through a textbook, and reading a README on github. Just an introduction to the language. I want to learn Go because the things that I want to implement in future projects cannot be implemented with the quality that I want with a Node.js backend. As my first project with Go, I plan to try to convert the backend for this website to Go. ...
Numpy, Pandas, and Matplotlib Notes
Read a textbook about numpy, pandas, and matplotlib to get a better understanding of the libraries. Here are the notes my that.
Reviewing Python Part 2
Reviewing Python with *Learning Python*, 5th ed., by Mark Lutz part 2. This is the end of my review of pytrhon. I am going to review numpy, pandas, and matplotlib next before returning to ...
Reviewing Python Part 1
Python was the first programming language that I attempted to learn by myself, but it has been more than a year since I have used it consistently, so I am going to try to quickly go through the basics of python, numpy, and pandas to make machine learning code easier to understand...
Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit Learn and Tesnor Flow Notes Chapter 1-4
Here are some notes from trying to learn machine learning by going through "Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit Learn and Tesnor Flow". I took notes with markdown and used jupyter notebooks for chapters 1-3, but for the rest of the book, I am probably just going to use jupyter notebooks and create something on this site where I can store some jupyter notebooks. ...
