Pex4fun, an online lab for APCS - Computer Science Teacher - Thoughts and Information f... - 1 views

  •  
    Are you teaching Advanced Placement Computer Science? Are you looking for supplemental exercises that may help you students with the concepts? If so this announcement may be of interest to you. Pex for Fun has been around for a while offering coding duels in C#, F# and Visual Basic. Recently though it was decided to invest some time, money and effort to adapt some exercises specifically to help learn APCS concepts. Most students find the differences between Java and C# pretty minor at this level so most APCS students will find this doable even if they have only been taught Java previously.

Well, in the last year or two, things have really changed. Here are 10 reasons why now is a great time to be a developer."

    "Doug Engelbart knew that his obituaries would laud him as "Inventor of the Mouse." I can see him smiling wistfully, ironically, at the thought. The mouse was such a small part of what Engelbart invented."

This is What a Tweet Looks Like - 0 views

  •  
    Think a tweet is just 140 characters of text? Think again. To developers building tools on top of the Twitter platform, they know tweets contain far more information than just whatever brief, passing thought you felt the urge to share with your friends via the microblogging network. A tweet is filled with metadata - information about when it was sent, by who, using what Twitter application and so on.

10000 things all ICS students should do before graduating | Tagide - 2 views

  •  
    So I thought I'd compile a list of 1010 10000 things I believe all ICS students should have done (by  themselves) by the time they get their diplomas. With luck, students have come across some of these in courses. Most likely, that won't happen, so students need to make time for extra-curricular activities.

    Last week Doug Peterson pointed me to an article called "Let's not call it computer science if we really mean computer programming." My initial reaction was "Let's not call it computer programming if we really mean software engineering."  Really the author was talking more about the difference between CS and SE than much else.The ACM has a great Computing Careers web site which lists a number of computing fields and degrees. I recommend this series to teachers and guidance councilors all the time. They list five different degree paths:
