Pythonroom Brings Coding to the Classroom

Describing itself as a book, Pythonroom is available to all, whether in a classroom or not. Needing just a browser to run, and so suitable for a multitude of desktops and mobile devices, it provides an ideal jump start for kids to start learning coding.

The availability of step-by-step lessons is one reason for choosing Pythonroom as a starting point in learning to code. The other reason for jumping on the Pythoonroom bandwagon is Python itself. The language's clean, readable and English-sounding syntax makes it easy for someone not familiar with coding to get started.That aside,Python is also a fully featured, general purpose programming language with which you can do just about anything: Mathematics, Data science, Statistics, Automation, Natural language processing, Artificial intelligence, you name it.

The platform is built with a curriculum centered on the student, as such it makes it super easy to get started with tasks that require just one, or two lines of code but incrementally progresses into more in depth exercises, to the point of coding graphics and making simple games.

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times.

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times. This leads to faster results for data scientists,  engineers,  biologists,  economists,  administrators,  and programmers. I remember the time when the saying was "Learn Perl so you don't have to learn the Shell and its hundreds of utilities". Fast forward some decades and the use of shell scripts still has not been eradicated. On the contrary, their use has increased due to the rise of containers, VM's, administering the cloud, and Linux itself. This also serves as a lesson to those who are quick to denounce technologies as 'dead'. There's a time where a new use case revitalizes an old technology. So what is meant by "Unix philosophy"?  full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/14990-the-pash-project-advancing-the-unix-philosophy-one-step-further.html

Open Source Is Not Just About Software

  It's about infrastructure as well, something that although not attracting the limelight, is as important as the open source software it hosts. Today the stewards of the largest open source registries in the world have issued an open letter demanding urgent reform in how open source infrastructure is funded, maintained, and operated.  https://www.i-programmer.info/news/136-open-source/18334-open-source-is-not-just-about-software.html

DeepSWE - Best Benchmark For Evaluating AI Coding Agents?

  DeepSWE is a high-fidelity benchmarking platform designed to evaluate the performance of frontier AI coding agents on complex long-horizon software engineering tasks. Unlike traditional benchmarks that reuse existing GitHub data, this system utilizes original, contamination-free tasks across five major programming languages to prevent models from relying on memorized solutions, creating a much clearer separation between frontier coding models than older public benchmarks like SWE-bench. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/19016-deepswe-best-benchmark-for-evaluating-ai-coding-agents.html
