Ohsopopular is a service to see how popular a URL is on the web. We check a bunch of different services and give you a number like Google Pangerank, Alexa Rank, Number of bookmarks on Delicious and so on. It's basically a perfect tool for webmasters to check how your site is ranked across the web.

Ever since I was told about a list of Movies for Computer Science Students and wrote some comments about that list I have been thinking book. Fiction books. Novels that tell stories that involve computer science and the sorts of issues of privacy, philosophy, ethics and social change that computers make in our society.

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.
