Philip Guo - The Two Cultures of Computing - 0 views

  • There are now two main cultures in computing: Most computer users treat software as a tool for getting tasks done, while programmers hold conversations with their software. One big challenge when teaching programming, no matter in what language, is getting students used to a conversation-oriented programmer culture, which is very different than a tool-oriented user culture.

I understand that there are differences, but other than 'big data', Philip does not really provide detailed reasoning to support the argument.

BBC News - School ICT to be replaced by computer science programme - 5 views

  • "Instead of children bored out of their minds being taught how to use Word or Excel by bored teachers, we could have 11-year-olds able to write simple 2D computer animations," he said.
  • "Children are being forced to learn how to use applications, rather than to make them. They are becoming slaves to the user interface and are totally bored by it,"
  •  
    The current programme of information and communications technology (ICT) study in England's schools will be scrapped from September, the education secretary has announced. It will be replaced by an "open source" curriculum in computer science and programming designed with the help of universities and industry.

'CodeSpells' wizard game teaches you how to program in Java (Wired UK) - 10 views

  • The aim was to keep children engaged while they are learning programming, which can be frustrating
  • he developed the game because there is a lack of qualified instructors to teaching computer science below college level in a way that is accessible
  • emergent use of code to surmount challenges of one's own making is an act that fits our definition of exploratory play
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • analysed how 30 successful programmers learnt their trade.  They found that activities had to be structured by the person who is trying to learn and that learning must be creative and exploratory as well as 'sticky' -- successful programmers would spend hours and hours coding

The History of HTML5 - 0 views

  •  
    When the first version of HTML5 published in 2008, it raised more questions than it answered. Would it be a force of unification or division? Would content producers, browser programmers and device manufacturers agree to new standards? And would it finally solve issues related to multi-platform development? Its fate was uncertain for some time, especially as heavyweights Apple and Adobe duked it out in the mobile arena. The future of Flash, the standard for streaming video on the web, hung in the balance.

Google Blockly Lets Kids Hack With No Keyboard | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com - 5 views

  •  
    Google has released a completely visual programming language that lets you build software without typing a single character. Now available on Google Code - the company's site for hosting open source software - the new language is called Google Blockly, and it's reminiscent of Scratch, a platform developed at MIT that seeks to turn even young children into programmers. Like Scratch, Blockly lets you build applications by piecing together small graphical objects in much the same way you'd piece together Legos. Each visual object is also a code object - a variable or a counter or an "if-then" statement or the like - and as you piece them to together, you create simple functions. And as you piece the functions together, you create entire applications - say, a game where you guide a tiny figurine through a maze.

Teaching Kids to Code - Teachers With Apps - 3 views

  •  
    No one who is part of this new movement believes all kids should grow up to be programmers. We believe it would be a beautiful outcome if all kids grew up knowing how to use computers to enhance their natural abilities, whatever those are, and grew up with the confidence to be "makers" instead of just consumers. Computer programming is ultimately about problem solving and creating. "Thinking like a computer scientist" really means understanding what problem you are facing and breaking down that problem into solvable chunks. The better you get at recognizing the problem the more efficient your solutions become."

rstat.us - 0 views

  •  
    "Simplicity is a core 'feature' of rstat.us. We pride ourselves on saying 'no' to lots of features. Our interface is clean, and easy to understand. We give you just enough features to be interesting, but not enough to be complicated and confusing. If you're a software developer, you'll probably want to check out our Open Source page. If that's greek to you, here's the deal on Openness: the programming code that makes up rstat.us is available for anyone to download, free of charge. Programmers can use that code to run their own websites just like rstat.us, and you can subscribe to your friends on any site that supports the OStatus protocol, like identi.ca. This also means that you can own your data, we'll never stop you from having full access to everything you've put into rstat.us."
