Do you need resources to show your high school students the exciting world of computer science? Join us for a 3-day summer workshop at Carnegie Mellon University where you can learn how to use lots of exciting examples in your classes to open the world of computer science to your students!

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.

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.

Jeff Atwood, co-founder of question-and-answer site Stack Exchange, has a huge list of 30 new pieces of programming jargon that have emerged on the question-and-answer site.

"In the space of one hour, my entire digital life was destroyed. First my Google account was taken over, then deleted. Next my Twitter account was compromised, and used as a platform to broadcast racist and homophobic messages. And worst of all, my AppleID account was broken into, and my hackers used it to remotely erase all of the data on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook."

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!

Welcome to the distribution center for BYOB (Build Your Own Blocks), an advanced offshoot of Scratch, a visual programming language primarily for kids from the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. This version, developed by Jens Mönig with design input and documentation from Brian Harvey, is an attempt to extend the brilliant accessibility of Scratch to somewhat older users-in particular, non-CS-major computer science students-without becoming inaccessible to its original audience. BYOB 3 adds first class lists, sprites, and procedures to BYOB's original contribution of custom blocks and recursion.

Nowadays, the list of security concerns is getting bigger and bigger. All enterprises have five types of security threats. Here in this tutorial, let's uncover these top five security threats of enterprises.

We now watch networks or movies online, it has even become a wide business venture, so much so we can now make purchase and pay our bills through the internet. The web has also transformed friendships through various social media.

Windows may boast the lion's share of the desktop education market, but the economic and technical benefits of open source software has seen many schools and education institutions implement various flavours of Linux across their desktops and server back-ends.

This subject is aimed at students with little or no programming experience. It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. It also aims to help students, regardless of their major, to feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class will use the Python™ programming language.

In the world of enterprise programming, the mainstream is broad and deep. Code is written predominantly in one of a few major languages. For some shops, this means Java; for others, it's C# or PHP. Sometimes, enterprise coders will dabble in C++ or another common language used for high-performance tasks such as game programming, all of which turn around and speak SQL to the database.

The Computer History Museum offers many online exhibits on a variety of topics related to the history of computing. Some online exhibits like Visible Storage and Mastering the Game complement physical exhibits you can also experience when you visit the Museum in person. Other online exhibits are available only through the Internet and extend the reach of the Museum to virtual visitors around the world.

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions. Initially developed to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing also has evolved into a tool for generating finished professional work. Today, there are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning, prototyping, and production. » Free to download and open source » Interactive programs using 2D, 3D or PDF output » OpenGL integration for accelerated 3D » For GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows » Projects run online or as double-clickable applications » Over 100 libraries extend the software into sound, video, computer vision, and more... » Well documented, with many books available

A bitly bundle of, in my opinion, key articles to use with students in ICS on the issue of privacy - via issue of cell phones tracking your movements!

JavaScript is the language of Akshell. Modern web apps usually have a rich AJAX interface created using one of the popular client-side JavaScript libraries; in Akshell you employ it for the server side too. This makes your app more integral and robust; you can even share some code between the client and server sides, e.g., the code of form validation.

This is an example of building a tree layout using the Reingold-Tilford "tidy" algorithm, as described in "Tidier Drawings of Trees". As each new element is added to the graph, it animates in, starting at the previous position of the parent node. Thus, the existing nodes and the new node transition smoothly to their new positions. The animation stops when 500 nodes have been added to the tree.
