Webmaking 101 for Journalists: A Prototype Lately, I have been thinking about how to teach people something unexpected while they are working on something that they are passionate about. It sounds kind of obvious, but my goal isn't to trick someone into learning or to serve them medicine in their sugar. I want to create authentic learning experiences around webmaking projects. I believe that if you are really invested in something, then you will seek out the learning. It's not an innovative idea- but it is a guiding principle behind my design. So, with this in mind, recently, a bunch of my Mozilla colleagues and I brainstormed around the idea of how to teach journalists the basics of html, css and copyright in an authentic way. As a group, we came up with several learning objectives - really focused on the introductory skills that a) anyone who was starting in webmaking would need and b) a journalist would be compelled to learn I started to work on a mock up just to play around a bit with look and feel.
00: Before we start Submitted by paulojbe on Sat, 10/06/2007 - 14:50. We wrote this book for you. As it is free, please allow me to say a couple of words on promoting the Mac in return. Every Macintosh user can help to promote their favorite computer platform with little effort. Here is how. The more efficient with your Mac you are, the easier it is to get other people to consider a Mac. Show the world that not everybody is using a PC by making the Macintosh more visible. You download a small, free program, called a DC client, and start processing work units. One problem with this suggestion: It may become addictive! Make sure the Macintosh platform has the best software. Please contact at least 3 Macintosh users who could be interested in this programming, tell them about this book and where to find it. OK, while you download a DC client in the background, let's get started!
Libro: Hacking Secret Ciphers with Python “Hacking Secret Ciphers with Python” es un libro de Al Sweigart que pretende ser una guía destinada a principiantes para aprender criptografía y programar en Python. Cuenta con el código fuente de varios sistemas de cifrado como el cifrado César, cifrado de transposición, cifrado de sustitución simple, cifrados multiplicativos y afines, cifrado Vigenère y herramientas de hacking para cada una de estos cifrados. Los últimos capítulos cubren el sistema de cifrado RSA y criptografía moderna de clave pública. Básicamente el libro asume que el lector no sabe nada de criptografía ni programación y le ayuda a aprender, paso a paso, a escribir programas que puedan "romper" mensajes cifrados.

Hackasaurus HTML is a very interesting machine language because, like human languages, most things that interpret it are very forgiving. For instance, did you know that the following HTML is technically invalid? It’s invalid because <source> is a so-called void element: since it can’t have any content inside it, you simply don’t need a closing tag for it. The <img> tag works the same way. However, in practice, all Web browsers will interpret both of these snippets the exact same way. What’s interesting to me is the way this mirrors human languages, and what it means for teaching. The dog loves it's owner. However, no one who knows English will actually be confused by the meaning of the statement. When I was trained as an adult literacy tutor several years ago, one of the most important principles we were taught was that fostering a love for writing was vastly more important than grammatical correctness. We’re running into similar issues in the design of the Webpage Maker.
Dan Rodney's List of Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts & Keystrokes For years I’ve collected these keystrokes. I hope they help you become the power user that lies within. I have tested them on Mac OS X El Capitan, but most should work on older versions of Mac OS (such as Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion). After macOS Sierra comes out I will update as needed!

What to Do If Your Computer Doesn’t Turn On If your computer is still not turning on, you will need to clean the memory sockets, video card slot, and CPU socket, as it may be a bad contact between these components and their sockets. You will need to buy isopropyl alcohol, a pencil eraser, and a tooth brush, all available at any supermarket. (Ideally you should buy an anti-static brush, but a cheap toothbrush will do the trick.) click to enlargeFigure 4: Material needed to fix bad contacts Remove the CPU (you will need to remove the CPU cooler first, of course), the memory, and the video card from the motherboard. You will clean the edge contacts from the video card and the memory module with an eraser as if you were “erasing” them, as shown in Figures 5 and 7. click to enlargeFigure 5: Clean the memory module edge contacts with an eraser click to enlargeFigure 6: Then clean them with a toothbrush wet in isopropyl alcohol click to enlargeFigure 7: Clean the video card edge contacts with an eraser
Instructional Overlay for Webmaking 101 tool prototypes In preparation for the Open News design sprint next week I did a few mock ups playing around with an Instructional overlay. The idea is that this is a slider that could be toggled over the js.bin interface that we use in the lovebomb.me, webpage maker and soon- open news prototypes. It will give the user helpful tips and pointers on how to write html and css. As you look at these designs, keep in mind that the grey bar can be moved up and down (or side to side) with your mouse. This first iteration is a horizontal overlay. Below is the second iteration- I am trying out a vertical overlay. I was having a bit of a prototyping party testing out some different ideas for progress bars below. We will be having the design sprint next week in Brooklyn.
