Original image by GustavoG
There’s a disconcerting trend of a lack of interest in Computer Science, especially at the high school level. As a completely elective course, it’s usefulness and applicability needs to be established early on to retain the interest of students.
Many educators approach this problem via concentrating on a more practical and hands-on side [...]
If a programming language was a boat…
This one is inspired by a recent forum post, that still leaves me in amazement.
Hi, Im wondering how i can create a boat in turing and if someone can post a example.
This makes no sense, since one doesn’t normally make water vehicles in Turing, the programming language. Though this got me thinking — if a [...]
(not) Cargo cult programming, source control, communication, and lack of it all
Sometimes group projects go wrong. Terribly, terribly wrong. Consider a multi-group project with a shared code-base, for a car racing game. Coded in C.
“This is even worse than before. They put multiple versions of their same code, in the same branch. And demos they found online.”
Cargo cult programming is a style of computer programming that [...]
