Hello, I am Waylon Walker.

There are two main ways to create kedro hooks, with modules and classes. Each one still uses the same verbiage as the function/method names. Class hooks seem a bit special as they give you a way to configure them so that they are a bit more generally useful.

This post is a 🧠 branstorming work in progress, I will likely use it as a storage location/brain dump of hook ideas.

I want to incorporate some of the wonderful comments, 💕, 🦄, and 🔖's that I have been getting on dev.to on my website. I have dabbled once or twice with no avail this time I am taking notes on my journey, so follow along and let's get there together. By the end of this post, I will have a way to get comments from posts on the client-side thanks to the wonderfully open dev.to API.

GitHub actions can give you confidence that your site is up and running, with the latests JavaScript packages, does not have broken links, and can even take screenshots of what your website looks like on different screen sizes and operating systems.

Kedro provides an efficient way to build out data catalogs with their yaml api. It allows you to be very declaritive about loading and saving your data. For the most part you just need to tell Kedro what connector to use and its filepath. When running Kedro takes care of all of the read/write, you just reference the catalog key.

I always struggle to find a good reference of ascii characters. This is a compilation of my most wanted ascii characters.

Kedro Hooks Intro - kedro hooks are an exciting upcoming feature of kedro `0.16.0`. They allow you to hook into `catalog_created`,`pipeline_run`, and `node_run`(nouns). With a `before`, or `after` (adjective). This really reminds me of reacts lifecycle hooks, that let you hook into various state of react web components. This is going to make kedro so extendable by the community. I am super pumped to see what the community is able to do with this ability.

kedro is an amazing project that allows for super-fast prototyping of data pipelines, yet yielding production-ready pipelines. find-kedro enhances this experience by adding a pytest-like node discovery eliminating the need to bubble up pipelines through modules.

This past week I had a really weird bug in my [kedro](http://kedro.readthedocs.io/) pipeline. For some reason data running through my pipeline was coming out completely made no sense, but if I manually request raw data outside of the pipeline it matched expectations.

So often I see a variables `type()` inside of its name and it hurts me a little inside. Tell me I'm right or prove me wrong below.

One useful action that you can utilize no matter what content your repo has is sending email.

GitHub actions use YAML to configure your workflows. What gets ran, When it runs, What it runs on. Let's discuss YAML and the structure needed for GitHub actions.

GitHub actions are an amazing tool that allows us to run code based on triggers inside of our repo. Their is a large and growing community of actions inside the marketplace to use with very little effort. Best of all they are free for public repositories, and private repos have a very generous free tier.

Sometimes we get a little `git add . && git commit -m "WIP"` happy and mistakenly commit something that we just cant figure out. This is a good way to figure out what the heck has changed on the current branch compared to any other branch.

Getting up and going with a brand new [kedro](kedro.readthedocs.io) project is super simple, thanks to the help of the `kedro new` command. The ability to add an example pipeline from the start makes it that much easier to get going and have a template to follow for your own projects.

What is YOUR Advice for New Data Scientists

Do you have any use cases that you use hoising? Why? It seems like a really cool feature in any language that uses it, but I dont really notice it in use.

Kedro is an open source data pipeline framework. It provides guardrails to set your project up right from the start without needing to know deeply how to setup your own python library for data pipelining. It includes really great ways to manipulate `catalogs` and `pipelines`. This article will cover the 10K view of kedro, future articles will dive deper into each one.

Getting a custom scrollbar on your site makes it stand out a bit compared to the very plain stock one that are on most sites. This is how I set mine up on my gatsby site.
