What is a Python Function? 

In this tutorial, we discuss one of the most useful attributes of Python: the function. Python functions are considered “First Class” objects. A First Class object can be assigned to variables, stored in data structures, passed as arguments to other functions, or even return values from other functions. Other examples of First Class objects in Python are integers, strings, and dictionaries.

In this article, we will explore the newest methods to install or update to the latest version of Python on our Ubuntu system. 

What is Git?

Git is a distributed version control system (or VCS), typically used to track files changes. It was developed in 2005 by Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel. Git’s primary use is to keep track of changes within source code during the software development process. Source Code Management or SCM was the primary reason for its creation.

The Oracle Java 8 is a programming language that creates many of the applications and websites in use today.  Its ubiquitous and stable nature makes it a favorite amongst Google and Android developers for the last 20 years. If you have a Liquid Web Core Managed Ubuntu LTS VPS server, contact our support team for help with installation.  Otherwise, this tutorial guides you through how to install Java 8 (Java Development Kit) and set the path of the JAVA_HOME variable.

When updating from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, we used the following command as one of the steps to update to the newer version. 

Taiga is a free, open-source project management system. The back end consists of an API written in Python3 and Django, and the front end is written in AngularJS and CoffeeScript. Taiga can manage simple and complex projects, and also monitors the progress of a project. Taiga maintains logs that are displayed in the form of a worklist with all the functions and user stories added to the project. 

Pyenv is an outstanding tool for managing multiple Python installations. Pyenv-virtualenv is a pyenv plugin that facilitates the creation and management of Python virtual environments with pyenv. This is a compelling proposition, making it possible to manage multiple Python versions with pyenv and provide the means to control the Python environment in a more granular manner.

Git is one of the most popular tools used as a distributed version control system (VCS). Git is commonly used for source code management (SCM) and has become more used than old VCS systems like SVN. In this article, we'll show you how to install Git on your Ubuntu 16.04 cloud dedicated server.

What Is Virtualenv?

Virtualenv is a tool that creates an isolated environment separate from other projects. In this instance, we will be installing different Python versions, including their dependencies.  Creating a virtual environment allows us to work on a Python project without affecting other projects that also use Python. It will utilize Python's core files on the global environment to run, thus saving you disk space while providing the freedom to use different Python versions for separate apps or projects.

If you are looking to collaborate with your coworkers or employees and create and share documents on your Ubuntu VPS server without taking up space on your local computer system, LibreOffice is the perfect tool for you. Formerly known as OpenOffice (based on StarOffice) this tool has evolved largely from the vast community of developers that contribute to its success daily. This powerful tool is currently in use by millions around the world as a free and open-source alternative to the Microsoft Office Suite of tools.
