And Yet It Moves. Adventures In Teaching and Technology with Ben Chun. June 23, 2012 / Ben Chun. What is the CS Education ask? In this context, “ask” is a bizlingo noun. Meaning “request” or “proposed terms”. So an alternative title for this post could be, “What the hell do we actually want people to do? 8221; The latest issue. Has an entire section devoted to CS Principles and the CS10K Initiative — or, as I like to call it, the most ambitious educational reform project without a web site. But dire as i...

Neopythonic: Before Python

http://neopythonic.blogspot.com/2011/07/before-python.html

Monday, July 25, 2011. This morning I had a chat with the students at Google's CAPE. Program. Since I wrote up what I wanted to say I figured I might as well blog it here. Warning: this is pretty unedited (or else it would never be published :-). I'm posting it in my "personal" blog instead of the "Python history" blog because it mostly touches on my career before. Python. Here goes. Have you ever written a computer program? It turned out the students had used a mixture of Scratch. There were machines to...

Uncaging Code: Case Study: Codecademy

http://uncagingcode.blogspot.com/2012/11/case-study-codecademy.html

Contemplating teaching computer science online. Originating from the glorious Stanford CS47n course. Monday, November 12, 2012. So let's be more concrete about this whole 'teaching CS online' thing. Knowing the differences between sites is interesting, but going in depth is funner. Let's do this. First off, found a site that randomly pulls up a story of how or why someone learned to program. http:/ ilearnedtoprogram.com/. The site I heard about first as a kid is Codecademy.

Teacher, DJ, Citizen. Skip to primary content. One Saturday afternoon in April 2011, I made ilearnedtoprogram.com. So there would be a place to read and share very short stories about learning to program. It was also an excuse to learn MongoDB. And turned out to be really fun. I’ve since written about the motivation, process, and outcomes:. How did you learn to program? Having 10,000 People Over. How and What You Learned to Program. It’s also been linked from a number of high-traffic sites:. Notify me of...

And Yet It Moves. Adventures In Teaching and Technology with Ben Chun. July 15, 2012 / Ben Chun. I’m teaching The Beauty and Joy of Computing (CS 10). This summer for Dan Garcia. At UC Berkeley, which has been really fun. One of the big ideas about programming in the course is recursion. The other two being abstraction. But this is a story about recursion. One of the examples we present. Is taken straight from SICP: the number of ways to make change for some amount of money. The problem, invoking. Have w...

Thoughts about software architecture, books and life. Why I work, not my work. 8220;Beef candy” is the name this dish has received from my family, probably due to the sweet, grilled Teriyaki flavor of the thinly sliced flank steak in your mouth. Always a family favorite, this dish is simple to prepare; so, I thought I’d share it with you. What you’ll need to make this dish is the following:. One flank steak (typically feeds six hungry mouths). A sharp knife (e.g. I prefer one with a serrated edge). Next,...
