Overview — Python 3.4.3 documentation. Alice.org. Mediated Transfer: Alice 3 to Java (PDF) Wanda Dann, Dennis Cosgrove, Don Slater, Dave Culbya In this paper, we describe a pedagogy for an undergraduate programming course using Alice 3 and Java. We applied the educational theory of mediated transfer to develop a new version of the Alice system and accompanying instructional materials.

The pedagogy was implemented and tested over two years. Student test scores in experimental course sections showed a dramatic jump of at least one letter grade over test scores in more traditional sections of the same course.

March 1, 2011 by Appwatchers Do you have a web application or are you thinking about building one? As a non technical person it might be something you want to leave to your supplier or technical guy. But you will be amazed that, when you put in some effort to understand the technical side (not specifically coding), that you and your technical person will find many benefits from a more smooth collaboration. Of course business people are busy, I am also not telling you to start programming. But try to spend some effort to understand the engine of your system. And of course if you like it, you can make the step to learn more detailed information every time. I have seen the guys doing their trick for almost 4 years now. Being close to the production is according to me a real benefit for the entire business.

I went a little further than that and start to understand more about different frameworks, search engines and front end technologies as well. Like this: Like Loading... Grand Paradigm Unification. Adobe AIR. Adobe AIR is a runtime environment that allows Adobe Flash content and ActionScript 3.0 code to construct applications and video games that run outside a web browser, and behave as a native application on supported platforms. An application developed for Flash Player or HTML5 and deployed in a browser does not require installation, while AIR applications require installation from an installer file (Windows and OS X) or the appropriate App Store (iOS and Android). AIR applications have unrestricted access to local storage and file systems, while browser-based applications only have access to individual files selected by users.[6] Features[edit] Using AIR, developers can access the full Adobe Flash functionality, including text, vector graphics, raster graphics, video, audio, camera, and microphone capability.

Adobe AIR also includes additional features such as file system integration, native client extensions, desktop integration and access to connected devices.

If an instantaneous event occurs that is severe enough, such as an exception being thrown, I may want to call special attention to it in my application.

To do this, I can generate an alert. An alert is a special case of a flag, whose importance is critical. An alert’s category is the reserved –1 category. In my application, I added the following call to the code that throws an exception: series.WriteAlert(e.Message); e is the exception and the above alert simply wraps the exception’s message. The difference in this picture is the changed appearance of the flags that mark the beginning of an iteration. Using categories and importance levels is not only useful in affecting the appearance of Markers. In some cases, you may not care to see unimportant Markers or Markers from a specific category. I specify that I want to collect categories 0 and 1 by entering “0,1” in the categories field.

After changing these options, I now see the following picture: James Rapp – Parallel Computing Platform. Alice vs Python for someone with zero experience. A Brief Architectural Overview of Alice, a Rapid Prototyping System for Virtual Reality.

C. Capehart, Matthew Conway, Dennis Cosgrove, Rob DeLine, Jim Durbin, Rich Gossweiler, Shuichi Koga, Jeff White Table of Contents We are developing Alice, a rapid prototyping system for virtual reality software. Virtual Reality (VR) has sparked many people's imaginations, but writing VR programs remains difficult. To support this goal, we are developing Alice, a rapid prototyping environment which can generate environments such as the one shown in Figure 1. The state of a running Alice program can be changed in three ways at any time:The interactive, immersed, participant can manipulate objects within the VR environment, for example, by grasping them, gesturing, or speaking. Alice programmers write in Python [PYTHON], a high-level, interpreted, object-oriented language. Alice Tutorial 2.4 Lesson 18.4 - Advanced Mouseover and Hover Tracking (1 of 2) a17 utting.
