The Foos, excelente juego para aprender a programar Seguimos hablando de proyectos que podemos usar para enseñar a los niños (y no tan niños) a programar, y esta vez lo hacemos con uno que es compatible con varias plataformas, tanto móviles como de escritorio: The Foos. Se trata de un juego gratuito en el que los niños pueden construir niveles usando la lógica de la programación. El objetivo es crear juegos, definir acciones y después disfrutar de lo creado, por lo que permite que, además de aprender durante el desarrollo de la plataforma, puedan divertirse jugando exactamente en lo que ellos mismos programaron.

Teaching with Python by John M. Zelle, Ph.D. I have written an introductory CS textbook using Python. Developing Android Apps completely in Python The goal of this training is to show you how to start developing full Android applications using only Python. Different technologies will be demonstrated, including PySide-based QML GUIs using the Necessitas Qt port and the Py4A/SL4A-based approach, which can be combined with Android’s WebKit and re-use Python web frameworks. While Android already has a good SDK out of the box, being able to use Python instead of Java is a big advantage for some developers - it allows for quicker turnaround times, and reuse of Python libraries. Python on Android uses a native CPython build, so its performance and compatibility is very good. Combined with PySide (which uses a native Qt build) and Qt’s support for OpenGL ES acceleration, you can create fluent UIs even with Python. The resulting PySide-based applications run on Android, but also at least on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and Maemo and MeeGo - basically all platforms on which Qt is available.
Computer and Network Security by Avi Kak Note for instructors using these slides/notes: It is not uncommon for the instructors who use these notes/slides to want to know how exactly I use them in class since there is much more information on a typical slide than you will usually find in a powerpoint presentation. Here is the answer: When I teach the theoretical portions of this course, I actually work out the formulas on the chalkboard and, when I do so, I follow the derivations presented in these lecture notes. Python Tutorial The Python tutorial is constructed to teach you the fundamentals of the Python programming language. Eventually, the Python Tutorial will explain how to construct web applications, but currently, you will learn the basics of Python offline. Python can work on the Server Side (on the server hosting the website) or on your computer. However, Python is not strictly a web programming language. That is to say, a lot of Python programs are never intended to be used online. In this Python tutorial, we will just cover the fundamentals of Python and not the distinction of the two.
Python overtakes French as the most popular language taught in primary schools The programming language Python has overtaken French as the most popular language taught in primary schools, according to a new survey released today. Six out of ten parents said they want their primary school age children to learn the coding language over French. And 75% of primary school children said they would rather learn how to programme a robot than learn a modern foreign language. The survey, which sampled 1,000 five to 11 year olds, 1,000 11 to 16 year olds and 1,000 parents, was commissioned by Ocado Technology to assess progress made since the new Computing curriculum was introduced exactly a year ago today.
