I'm sometimes considering porting the UI of a relatively complex management app I wrote sometime ago for a small company, from Ext JS to a Python-flavored traditional GUI framework like PyQt (it would essentially become a desktop app p

As a solo freelancer, I have developed and maintained an internal management web app for a small wine importing company from 2012 to this day: a huge portion of its 15+ KLOCs codebase is ExtJS 4 (the rest is the Python backend) and I have m

Its companion book is also very nice (and way easier for a beginner): An Introduction to Statistical Learning with Applications in R. It is one of the only textbooks I have read from cover to cover in my life.
