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.

First, that we always pay a price for technology; the greater the technology, the greater the price Second, that there are always winners and losers, and that the winners always try to persuade the losers that they are really winners Third, that there is embedded in every great technology an epistemological, political or social prejudice. Sometimes that bias is greatly to our advantage. Sometimes it is not. The printing press annihilated the oral tradition; telegraphy annihilated space; television has humiliated the word; the computer, perhaps, will degrade community life. And so on. Fourth, technological change is not additive; it is ecological, which means, it changes everything and is, therefore, too important to be left entirely in the hands of Bill Gates. And fifth, technology tends to become mythic; that is, perceived as part of the natural order of things, and therefore tends to control more of our lives than is good for us. .... When a technology become mythic, it is always dangerous because it is then accepted as it is, and is therefore not easily susceptible to modification or control.

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!

Producing computer scientists and engineers to fill the demand from domestic companies should be a national priority, said Jeannette Wing, head of the computer science department at Carnegie Mellon University.

The move to scrap the current ICT curriculum and replace it with one based on computer science and programming will benefit business because students will develop technical skills at a younger age

Instead of starting Remote Desktop Connection from the Start menu, you can start it from the search box in this version of Windows, from the Run dialog box, or from a command line. With these methods, you can use additional command line parameters to control how Remote Desktop Connection looks or behaves.

"This is a short Arduino build I did and decided to share with other arduino beginners. This is a complete tutorial to show you how to use a potentiometer to control an LED's brightness with your Arduino microcontroller."

This document explains how to connect your Arduino board to the computer and upload your first sketch.

An activity created by Peter McAsh for the ICS2O class. Thanks Peter! 

We're a women-run not-for-profit group working to empower everyone to feel comfortable learning beginner-friendly technical skills in a social, collaborative way.

Interactive lessons to learn Javascript. 

Fantastic series of tutorials for the Arduino.

A great beginners project for learning about the Arduino.

Exemplar program created using Processing.
