An excellent list (with links)

Overnight, websites belonging to the FBI, Department of Justice, RIAA, MPAA, Universal and others were struck by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.

Throughout the year I try to share resources and information with you that I think will be helpful for you. Often times these resources will include links to free eBooks that we make available on a variety of topics. Today, I thought I would post a large collection of eBooks for you here so that you can find them in one place and consume them as you see fit. Also, if you find this list helpful, please share it with your peers and colleagues so that they too can benefit from these resources.

"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."

This collection of links and applications highlights just the tip of the iceberg of educational resources that are available on the web. If you are interested in teaching yourself a new skill or learning a new topic indepth in your spare time, hopefully some of these will be of use. ** Collection of Computer Science courses **

Welcome! In all likelihood, you have come to this site to find out more about the exciting field of computing. The goal of this web site is to provide additional details that will help you prepare for a career in this area. In particular, we hope this site can help you decide how to develop the skills you need to be successful in a computing career - a journey that ordinarily begins with an undergraduate degree in a computing-related discipline. To find out more about the world of computing, click on the links at the left of this page.

Have you heard the term cache? Well, cache is basically a web mechanism for the temporary storage of web documents like HTML pages and images. Facebook Cache is the storage place for recently shared and already shared posts/links for a better performance. Let's go through this tutorial to clear the Facebook cache data.

I've created a number of structured Scratch assignment writeups including one for the little tree program pictured below.  Since I haven't really found any such resources (links appreciated!), I figured I'd share: Scratch assignments

Can We Fix Computer Science Education in America?

Doug, thank you for the link to the article. I just spent a few days in Boston with CS Educators at the App Inventor Summit and the issues discussed in this article now make more sense to me. The CS Principles project (csprinciples.org) looks like a huge step in the right direction. It "could" become the foundation of introductory CS courses in high school (AP) and in post-secondary. They have run 2 years of pilot courses and it looks promising. The next generation AP exam will likely be language agnostic - designs will likely be expressed in pseudocode and the course really engages with students (not just programming).

Computer science education prepares students for the engaging and high-paying computing careers that are being created every day. Hundreds of thousands will be created in the next decade. In fact, the current pipeline of computing graduates will fill only 52 percent of the projected over 1.4 million job openings in computing by 2018. Get ready for the future!

Calvin Carl "Kelly" Gotlieb, CM, FRSC (born March 27, 1921) is a Canadian professor and computer scientist who has been called the "Father of Computing" in Canada. He is the Professor Emeritus in Computer Science at the University of Toronto.

Interesting fact is that Professor Gotlieb's PhD type is still classified by the military.
