"What these courses have in common, aside from the focus on Android development, is that they are all 100% free. You should be able to get yourself started off on developing your first app, and those who have some development experience will find advanced topics covered as well."

"A plethora of cool open source tools is available out there, but not all of them are up to the mark. So today we have a list of 9 Must Have Open Source Apps For Web Developers. Check this list out and pick the ones that suit your needs the best."

The place of Computer Science in the National Curriculum for England In April 2011 ALT responded to the DFE consultation about revisions to the National Curriculum for England1. In recent weeks there has been plenty of discussion in the media and in Government about the place of Computer Science in the curriculum. We've consulted within ALT and more widely and have framed some views on this question, in the form of a response to three questions: * To get the next generation of comp scientists do we need CS in the NC?  * Where do we put CS?  * Should CS be only for those who are interested or for all?  

Capture all your important digital content (web pages, images, text, articles, email, bookmarks, etc.) and organize it in your personal cloud, accessible from anywhere.

Reminds me of the Net Snippets program I used to use. I wonder if it's using your Google Docs account to store the content. I wish they had more details on the website, and how much the premium account will cost. It would be nice to see an academic discount, or that they make it free for teachers & students.

This page was created as a source for all things AppInventor.

Just change the table to be your own headings and numbers content (you may make more, or less, rows and/or columns). Resultant table is editable. Click any cell to change its value. Then click outside the table and all other charts change dynamically. Interesting way to create dynamic visualizations

Deciding to become a software developer is a great initial step, congrats!  The job opportunities are growing quickly and in just about every industry that you can imagine.  The best part is that you do not necessarily have to go to a four year university to become a great software developer to lock down one of these jobs.  The web has all the resources you'll need to interact, learn, get support and finally find a job as a software developer.

We've all been there. The deadline is looming, everything is behind schedule, and you're in a rush to finish the FooBar module. You're puzzling over one last glitch. You know how to fix it, but it looks like it will take a minor redesign of the module... probably 4-5 hours of work. You just don't have that kind of time.

Google Plus has a really nice image gallery. They somehow managed to display all the photos without cropping, without reordering and without any holes. We are going to see how they did it in this blog post.

"Python is a powerful and expressive language that has very simple syntax. If you're unsure of which programming language to learn, Python is a great choice. The language is used in a variety of disciplines: application, web, and game development. Python can do it all. Courses are based on Python 2.7.3."

"The full-sized image is approximately 48 by 36 inches @ 150dpi, but the form factor will scale down to fit on US letter-sized paper. I hope you enjoy it. I, for one, will be plastering it all over my place of employment."

"Late Friday, Wired writer Mat Honan ran into a digital buzzsaw as his iCloud, Gmail and Twitter accounts were compromised in rapid succession. The hackers did a tremendous amount of collateral damage along the way, spewing racist and homophobic tweets on Honan's account plus the Gizmodo Twitter account (linked to his). Worse, they proceeded to wipe all the data from his iPhone, iPad and his Mac laptop via Find My iPhone and Find My Mac."

"The Java Bridge is Java code equivalents for all the app inventor components. It is a high-level Android library for rapid development of apps."

Digital citizenship is a key component of the technology and media literacy. We should not only teach our students how to be  good citizens in the real physical world  but how they can be good netizens of the online world  as well.

"Dropbox is an awesome service. You can back your files up to the cloud, sync them between computers, and share them with your friends. That's not all it can do, though. Here are our top 10 favorite clever uses for our favorite file syncing program."

"Last year, Nicholas G. was 12-years-old. He convinced his dad to get him a developer account from Apple, and began to learn how to program apps. Nicholas is now 13, and the second update to his first app, Quick Notes!!, is out on the App Store. Version 1.0, says Nicholas, has already accrued over 3,000 downloads. How many downloads did your app have when you were 13? Mine didn't have any. It still doesn't."

The prevalence of free, open WiFi has made it rather easy for a WiFi eavesdropper to steal your identity cookie for the websites you visit while you're connected to that WiFi access point. This is something I talked about in Breaking the Web's Cookie Jar. It's difficult to fix without making major changes to the web's infrastructure

You'd be forgiven for thinking you've already read this article. Truthfully, you pretty much already have. The software is the same (App Inventor), the milestone is the same (public availability), even the development status is the same (beta).
