Open Source Saves the Day (and Lots of Dosh)
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems every day we hear about hideous cost
| overruns on public sector projects in the UK.
| What makes it even more frustrating is that
| open source, a real no-brainer for many
| applications, is rarely given the chance to
| prove itself here. Which means, of course,
| that there are no case studies to refer to, so
| no one gives open source a chance etc. etc.
|
| Against that background, a new paper by Darrel
| Ince, Professor of Computing at the Open
| University, which rejoices in the deceptively-
| bland title of âThe Re-development of a
| Problem Systemâ, is pretty exciting stuff

For teaching touch typing, itâs clearly Klavaro
,----[ Quote ]
| Many years ago, Felipe Castro learned to type
| with the help of the proprietary Mavis Beacon
| Teaches Typing application. But though Castro
| is from Brazil, he had to use an English
| keyboard layout. That got him thinking. When
| Castro, an engineer by trade, decided to
| improve his programming skills, he decided to
| create a touch typing tutor, Klavaro, and make
| it keyboard- and language-independent.
