Hello Everyone!
I recently completed a project that integrates both Python and Java to create a tool related to SASSA (South African Social Security Agency). It’s been a rewarding experience working on something that could potentially make a real-world impact, and I wanted to share a bit about the process and what I learned along the way. here it is sassacheck.net.za
Why Python and Java?
I used Python for tasks like data handling, API integration, and automation. It allowed for rapid development and flexibility, especially when dealing with structured and unstructured data. Java was the right choice for building the more robust backend components, where performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability were priorities.
What the Tool Does
The tool is designed to [insert a short explanation of what your tool actually does — e.g., "streamline application data", "verify grant status", "automate form submissions", etc.]. The goal was to simplify part of the SASSA process for users or administrators, making interactions smoother and more efficient.
Challenges and Takeaways
Integrating two languages meant learning how to structure communication between components (used [mention if applicable: REST APIs, JSON, a bridge like Jython, etc.])
Debugging across languages was challenging, but it gave me a better grasp of each language’s strengths and how they complement each other
It reinforced how important it is to choose the right tool for each part of a project
If you’re working on a multi-language project or thinking about tackling real-world problems with code, I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences. Happy to answer any questions about how I approached this one.
