The 8 Best Sites for Quality HTML Coding Examples

More importantly, being able to code in HTML5 using all the latest techniques. Advertisement Everything you see on a website is built with HTML and CSS (with some JavaScript sprinkled in). There is a lot to learn, so what are the best resources to get started? There are some awesome websites that offer well-designed HTML coding examples and tutorials that can show you the most effective ways to code. Here are eight sites that offer good HTML code examples and help you become an HTML expert. 1. HTML Dog has an offering of tutorials, techniques, references, and examples of HTML code. Their HTML examples cover all kinds of syntax with demonstrations for each.

Clicking on any of the elements will open an interactive coding page. You can see the live HTML output of the sample code on the pane on the right. 2. Just like HTML Dog, they’ve incorporated a split-screen tool to try coding in. 3. 4. freeCodeCamp 5. 6. 2018 state of cs. Women in Computer Science. The Current State of Women in Computer Science The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects computer science research jobs will grow 19% by 2026.

Women in Computer Science

Yet, women only earn 18% of computer science bachelor's degrees in the United States. Despite the high job demand, computer science remains a male-dominated field in the United States. In response, many top colleges are making efforts to recruit female computer science students, making it an ideal time for women to pursue computer science degrees. Computer Science.

Teach kids computer science through design and inquiry. 3 Reasons Students Aren’t Into Computer Science—Yet. I attended Everest Public High School in Redwood City, Calif., and during the years that I was in high school, never once did I hear about computer science, coding or hackathons. To this day, I still do not have a clear idea of what those phrases really mean. However, I am not the only one who seems to be in the dark. So many students go through their entire high school career without being exposed to computer science—a rapidly growing field of study that is an important key to opening doors to jobs at tech giants like Google, Apple and Facebook. And ever since I started interning with the Code Next team at Google this past summer, I became even more curious to understand: Why aren’t students into computer science?

As with our writing they take a fun offbeat approach to the subject and are embedded in research activity. (Oh, and we tend to prefer rope and tube technology over silicon for our activities.) We are giving live talks about our approach to teaching computer science in conjunction with Google in their CS on AIr series using Google Hangouts. Computer science education is expanding, but states have work to do.

Statistic after statistic hammers home the importance of computer science in the national and global economy, but for all the increased awareness around the demand for computing skills, state education systems still do not fully support computer science education.

Computer science education is expanding, but states have work to do

A new report from Code.org examines the state of K-12 computer science education and notes that, despite half a million computing jobs sitting open in the U.S., schools still have a lot of progress to make. Across 24 states, just 35 percent of high schools in the U.S. teach computer science–and minority, rural, and economically disadvantaged students are even less likely to go to a school offering computer science. What's your state doing for #ComputerScience education?

Make charts and dashboards online. Thinkersmith's Unplugged Hour of Code Activity. k12cs.org – K–12 Computer Science Framework. Edsurge. The “teach kids to code” movement has many thinking that computer science is just coding.

Often the two are conflated since coding is definitely the most visible component of computer science. It is the magic that turns ideas into products; it provides the motivation to learn computer science. Kids want to learn so they can make cool stuff that is meaningful to them. What’s the Difference Between Coding and Computational Thinking? In my last EdSurge article, “Computer Science Goes Beyond Coding,” I wrote about the difference between coding and computer science, to help us understand what we mean by phrases like “Teach kids to code” and “Computer science for all.” In that article and in many other articles, there is another term that appears often: “Computational thinking.” Well, what is Computational Thinking (CT), and how does it differ from Coding and Computer Science—especially when it comes to classroom practice and instruction? What is Computational Thinking (CT)? My short definition: CT is a strategy that uses many of the powerful ideas in computer science to solve problems.

Computational Thinking. In our conversations with Scratchers, we heard young designers describe evolving understandings of themselves, their relationships to others, and the technological world around them. This was a surprising and fascinating dimension of participation with Scratch — a dimension not captured by our framing of concepts and practices.

As the final step in articulating our computational thinking framework, we added the dimension of perspectives to describe the shifts in perspective that we observed in young people working with Scratch, which included three elements: expressing: realizing that computation is a medium of creation, "I can create. " connecting: recognizing the power of creating with and for others, "I can do different things when I have access to others.

" questioning: feeling empowered to ask questions about the world, "I can (use computation to) ask questions to make sense of (computational things in) the world.

The balance of power in Washington didn't change this week as President Obama and most members of Congress kept their jobs. They'll go back to work and face an unemployment problem that also hasn't changed very much. Every month since January 2009, more than 20 million Americans have been either out of work or underemployed.

It's called "the skills gap. " Karl Hutter: Yeah, we hear way too much about the United States manufacturing, we don't manufacture anything anymore.
