Python Programming Guide I've just finished creating this children's guide to programming in Python 2.7.5, in readiness for the introduction of the new primary computing curriculum in 2014. It has been tested using the Pythonista iOS app (I chose this particular app because it: works on iOS7, offers predictive text to speed up typing for the children and has excellent reviews). Please let me know how you get on using it as I would really value your feedback on how child-friendly it is (indeed a lot of it is adapted from my old A Level computing notes)!

A 'Sputnik' moment for women in technology (Opinion) As someone who has spent her career helping build one of the largest tech companies in the world, I was in shock. Suddenly an issue I faced repeatedly at work — the lack of women in tech — hit squarely at home. The story may sound familiar: We had one computer at home and in my daughter's words, my son "had conquered it." For good measure, she added that it was "super lame" to like computers and she had better things to do in her busy life. Today, this same pattern is playing out in homes throughout America. Despite earning the majority of bachelor's degrees, women earn only 12.9% of computer science degrees, according to the Computing Research Association. The fact that women represent such a small portion of the tech workforce shouldn't just be a wake-up call -- it should be a Sputnik moment. If women don't participate in tech, with its massive prominence in our lives and society, we risk losing many of the economic, political and social gains we have made over decades.

Username generator This name generator will give you 10 random usernames, ideal for a wide range of games, websites and other purposes. There are no usernames like 'xxLegolasxx' or 'Doomlord2014', for obvious reasons. On the other hand, the usernames are in a style I like, so they might not fit everybody well, but there are some customization options. By clicking one of the radio buttons below the 'get usernames' button, you enable the substitution of either the first or second words of the randomly generated usernames. Only the last 6 names are randomly generated by combining 2 words, there are over 254000 different possible combinations. I personally prefer humorous names or clever names, so I tried to make sure as many of those were added. To start, simply click on the button to generate 10 random names.
