Making Programming Easier For Kids With PyJunior
,----[ Quote ]
| The interface is simple. There is an area
| where you can type in code in at the top
| (which is syntax highlighted to make it
| easier to understand), and below it is
| where the output of the program is
| displayed. At the top is a toolbar that I
| have deliberately made nice and big and
| easy to click for kids who are new to using
| a mouse. When they want to run the code
| they have typed in, they click the Run
| button. This will automatically save the
| file, run it and display the output in the
| black area at the bottom.

The Tyranny of Memory Part IV (Immutable Strings)
,----[ Quote ]
| Recent performance improvements in Parrot
| to avoid aggressive buffer copying and to
| avoid unnecessary buffer reallocations
| demonstrate how bugs, mistakes, and design
| infelicities at the lowest levels of your
| program stack can have dramatic negative
| effects on the whole program.

Forking, The Future of Open Source, and Github
,----[ Quote ]
| Last Wednesday, at the kind invitation of the
| folks from Eclipse, I had the opportunity to
| sit with more august company â Justin
| Erenkrantz (Apache), MÃrten Mickos
| (Eucalyptus), and Jason van Zyl
| (Maven/Sonatype) â on a panel charged with
| debating the future of open source. Among the
| questions posed to us was this: is the future
| of open source going to be based on
| communities such as Apache and Eclipse or
| will it be based on companies that sell open
| source?
|
| My reply? Neither. Itâs Github.
