Academy]() Topics: [Coroutines](), [KotlinX]() Tags: [best-practices](), [course](), [exercise](), [how-to](), [patterns](), [teaching](), [workshop-learning-programming]() ### AI overview The article argues that course and book exercises should prioritize practicing patterns authors want learners to use in real codebases. Drawing on reviews of projects from a kotlinx.coroutines course, it explains that active exercises influence learners more strongly than passive lessons and recommends removing exercises that encourage inappropriate patterns. ### Source excerpt What are the main priorities when designing good exercises for a course or a book. ## Applying for Developer Advocacy DevFeed: [Applying for Developer Advocacy]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Hadi Hariri (mail@hadihariri.com) Published: 2022-01-02T23:00:00Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Hadi Hariri]() Topics: [Developer experience](), [Job](), [jetbrains](), [Development]() Tags: [communication](), [community](), [cv](), [developer](), [developer-experience](), [hiring](), [jetbrains](), [teaching]() ### AI overview An overview of what JetBrains looks for when hiring developer advocates, including real-world software development experience, familiarity with JetBrains tools, communication skills, community involvement, and teaching ability. ### Source excerpt We have a few positions open for Developer Advocacy at JetBrains, and for the past several months I've been going through CVs. I usually look for specific things that stand-out for the role and thought it might be worth sharing these. Developer Experience Developer Advocacy is first and foremost about Software Development. You are someone that will be helping developers. You are someone that will be helping the product teams make a better product. Both of these are hard to accomplish if you don't have the experience and war-stories. Highlight your experience as a developer in your CV. In the 12 years I've been involved in Advocacy, only on a couple of occasions did we hire someone with little real-world developer experience, but these were justified for other reasons. Experience with JetBrains Tools We want folks that join JetBrains to believe in what we're doing, and enjoy using our products. If you don't, then you probably won't be happy at your job. If you use our products, make sure you point it out. You don't need to be an expert, but believing in them and wanting to help improve them is important. We are strongly against hiring shills. Communication Skills Communicating is critical in the role. Whether it's talking to a customer at a booth, or talking to developers inside the company, it must be something that you're not only good at but enjoy doing. As such, highlighting communication skills is important when applying for the role. Community Presence As a Developer Advocate, having a community presence is important. Provide information about your community activities and/or online presence, whether it's speaking, organising events, social media accounts, GitHub or other repository accounts. Note however that while community presence is important, it's not critical. You don't have to be a micro-celebrity in your community to get a job as a Developer Advocate at JetBrains. We're not particularly looking for big names. We're looking for people that are aligned w ## Applied Threat Modeling at BlackHat 2021 DevFeed: [Applied Threat Modeling at BlackHat 2021]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Adam Published: 2021-06-28T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Shostack & Friends Blog]() Topics: [Learning](), [class]() Tags: [blackhat](), [exercise](), [interactive](), [skills](), [students](), [teaching]() ### AI overview An announcement for a hands-on Applied Threat Modeling class at Black Hat USA 2021.

They argue that students are not given enough opportunities to solve meaningful problems or experience the satisfaction of programming. ### Source excerpt By the end, the breadth and depth of our collective knowledge was far beyond what anyone could expect from any high school course in any subject. Education Versus Exploration I'm a lab TA for an introductory Python programming course this semester, and it's been...depressing. I remember my early days of programming, when the possibilities seemed endless and adding new features to my programs was exciting and gratifying, and I brimmed with pride at every detail, and I boasted to my friends of the amazing things I did, and I felt powerful. ## Introduction to Artificial Intelligence DevFeed: [Introduction to Artificial Intelligence]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2011-08-24T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Peter Norvig]() Topics: [Artificial Intelligence]() Tags: [artificial-intelligence](), [introduction](), [teaching]() ### AI overview Sebastian Thrun and the publisher are teaching an online Introduction to Artificial Intelligence class.

After driving 3,000 miles across the U.S. (detouring to Seattle, WA), I've arrived in wonderful Chicago, and I'm presently going through TA and graduate student orientation at the University of Illinois at Chicago. ## Teaching Mathematics--Graph Theory DevFeed: [Teaching Mathematics--Graph Theory]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2011-06-26T16:19:20Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Jeremy Kun]() Topics: [graph theory](), [Graphs](), [Mathematics]() Tags: [campolindo](), [education](), [google](), [graph-theory](), [introspection](), [mathematics](), [methods-of-proof](), [primer](), [puzzles](), [seven-bridges](), [seven-hills](), [teaching]() ### AI overview A mathematics teacher describes using puzzles and student-led discovery to introduce graph theory in high-school and middle-school lectures. The article presents the Seven Bridges of Königsberg problem as a central example and discusses mathematics as a non-linear process of questions, conjectures, and proof. ### Source excerpt Community Service Mathematics is supposed to be a process of discovery. Definitions, propositions, and methods of proof don't come from nowhere, although after the fact (when presented in a textbook) they often seem to. As opposed to a textbook, real maths is highly non-linear. It took mathematicians quite a lot of fuss to come up with the quadratic formula, and even simple geometric conjectures were for the longest time the subject of hot debate. ## Comparing Two Python Programming Books for Beginners DevFeed: [Comparing Two Python Programming Books for Beginners]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Guido van Rossum (noreply@blogger.com) Published: 2009-05-26T22:46:00Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Guido van Rossum]() Topics: [Python](), [Programming](), [Computer science](), [Learning]() Tags: [beginners](), [book-review](), [books](), [compare](), [experiments](), [gotchas](), [projects](), [python](), [review](), [teaching](), [tests]() ### AI overview The article compares Hello World and Practical Programming, two books that teach Python to people without prior programming experience. It argues that the books target different audiences: Hello World is aimed at children and uses an accessible, illustrated style, while Practical Programming takes a more mature, computer-science-oriented approach. ### Source excerpt There's never a lack of books to use for learning Python. I occasionally receive books for review, but I don't have a particularly good yardstick to judge such books by: I find that they all contain some factual errors and some oddities of presentation, but I have no idea whether those matter for the readers. Even Knuth's books are full of errors: for example the errata for Vol. 1 (2nd ed.) are a staggering 80 pages, but I doubt anybody besides Knuth himself is bothered by this knowledge. Recently I got a review copy of "Hello World", and a colleague kindly lent me his copy of "Practical Programming". I think it's interesting to compare the two a bit, since they both claim to be teaching Python programming to people who haven't programmed before. And yet their audiences are totally different! "Hello World", published by Manning, is written by Warren Sande and his son Carter. The subtitle is "Computer programming for kids and other beginners", but I think if you're not a kid any more you might get annoyed by the rather popular writing style. If you are a kid, well, you will probably enjoy a book written with you in mind, and you will learn plenty. The only prerequisites are reading and typing skills, a computer that wasn't built in the stone age, and a desire to learn more about what goes on inside that computer. The book uses short chapters with lots of illustrations, often cartoons and jokes. There are lots of opportunities to try out the material and learn that way. Each chapter ends with a review section, some tests, and more experiments to try. The book pays plenty of attention to typical "gotchas", so that if you get stuck at some point, there probably is help nearby to get you unstuck. "Practical Programming" is written by Jennifer Campbell, Paul Gries, Jason Montojo, and Greg Wilson. This a team composed of three university professors and a former student of theirs. Their purported goal is to teach Computer Science (with Capital Letters), and Python is merely ## Teaching "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" DevFeed: [Teaching "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment"]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2001-09-09T01:46:40Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Signs of Triviality]() Topics: [Programming](), [Unix]() Tags: [advanced](), [programming](), [teaching](), [unix]() ### AI overview An article about teaching "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment." ### Source excerpt Teaching "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment"
