Edit Article Edited by Mel, BR, Brandywine, Chris Hadley and 22 others Being a Computer Scientist is not about programming; it is about the study of algorithms (a series of steps, understood by someone or something, in order to complete a task in a given number of steps).

Many Computer Scientists don't program at all. Indeed, Edsger Dijkstra once said “Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.” Ad Steps 1Being a Computer Scientist is all about learning to be a student. 6Programming is only the translation of pseudocode into a programming language. Tips The field of computer science branches out to many different fields such as computer design and development, databases, computer security, or computer languages just to name a few. How to Become a Programmer. Intuitionism. In the philosophy of mathematics, intuitionism, or neointuitionism (opposed to preintuitionism), is an approach where mathematics is considered to be purely the result of the constructive mental activity of humans rather than the discovery of fundamental principles claimed to exist in an objective reality.

That is, logic and mathematics are not considered analytic activities wherein deep properties of objective reality are revealed and applied but are instead considered the application of internally consistent methods used to realize more complex mental constructs, regardless of their possible independent existence in an objective reality. Truth and proof[edit] To an intuitionist, the claim that an object with certain properties exists is a claim that an object with those properties can be constructed.

Any mathematical object is considered to be a product of a construction of a mind, and therefore, the existence of an object is equivalent to the possibility of its construction. L.E.J. Visioning as the estuary of action. This is an estuary. It is the place where a river goes to die. Everything the river has ever been and everything it has carried within it, is deposited at it’s mouth where the flow slows down and the water merges with the ocean. These are places of incredible calm and richness, but they lack the exciting flow of the torrents and waterfalls and cascades of the upper river system.

Yesterday I was speaking with a client who worried that an initiative we had begun together was heading towards the estuary of action – a long term visioning processes where lots of things are said and very little is done. ”We’ve done that before,” she said. Nobody likes that. Then I realized that what we were dealing with was an entrained pattern. The truth is that I had been viewing the process as an action learning cycle: So now that we are a little clearer on this, there was a distinct relaxation among the group. Open Space Resources. This collection of resources, notes, stories and references is intended to support facilitators and sponsors in convening and running Open Space Technology events.

There are also resources here that may extend deeper learning in the four practice areas of opening, inviting, holding and grounding, and help you find ways to open and hold space in bigger ways. Opening the conversation Use these resources for opening the conversation with sponsors and preparing yourself for facilitating OpenSpace events. Creating Invitations that rock. Use these resources in working with sponsors to prepare invitations. Holding space and supporting emergence Use these resources to understand the role of the facilitator, and to help plan and layout the space in which you will be working. Grounding the results These resources support grounding action after Open Space and beyond. Moving to project teams – A great primer on moving OUT of Open Space and into real work together.Keeping Open Space alive after the event.

Art of Hosting « The Berkana Institute. “As a facilitative tool, the Art of Hosting has provided me with a mechanism to access in others the words, thoughts, and feelings that form a heart-centered dialogue and conversation, often creating a sacred place for honoring the collective spirit. In this sacred place, I have frequently witnessed a transformation of anger, hostility, and resentment to forgiveness, joy, and a willingness to explore mutual collaboration. Indeed, the Art of Hosting is a sacred tool, one that is founded on the principles of a soulful spirit, gracefully and integrally woven within a human fabric that yearns for peace and justice.” - Michael Havercamp, Art of Hosting Participant 2008 While the Institute is in a period of rest, the Art of Hosting community continues to be a vibrant and active global community of practice.

Art of Hosting gatherings will continue to be held throughout North America and around the world, and we want to make sure that everyone can stay connected. Canada United States.
