Defining Functions in Python

(this is all assumed to be done in the shell)

Before we start, we need to get into our Python shell. Once you open up your terminal program of choice, you'll want to type python. You should now see some information about the version of Python you're running and three greater-than symbols. If you have IPython installed, feel free to use that instead.

In programming, a "function" or "method" is often the name we give to blocks of code that the computer can repeat for us. In our human world, this would be like us going through the same sets of folds for all of the napkins at a wedding reception.

In Python, these stand-alone, repeatable code blocks are called "functions" and we create new ones with the def keyword. Function names have to start with an underscore or a letter and can't contain spaces or hyphens. We'll call this function "hello". Function definitions always end with an open parenthesis. We'll talk about passing arguments to functions

Lincoln Loop is looking for a web generalist to join our ranks. We have lots of domain experts, but need someone who can tie up the loose ends. A strong knowledge of CSS and HTML is required along with a working knowledge of JavaScript and Python. You should have a year or so of experience building clean cross-browser interfaces and be familiar with responsive design techniques for mobile.

Bonus points for experience/knowledge in:

CSS Preprocessors (SASS or LESS)
Django
Backbone or similar JS framework
Visual design

We're a fully distributed company where everyone sets their own hours and salary. You can learn more about how we operate at http://lincolnloop.com/blog/categories/business/. This is a full-time position.
