SHOW SUMMARY:In this episode, we talk about game-based learning and gamification in the enterprise with Charlotte Cheng from CodeCombat.com. Using CodeCombat as an example, Charlotte talks about the benefits of using games as a platform for teaching and learning and how games help students take part in their own learning process. She then discusses how these same concepts and principles can also be used with programming teams at companies to help developers build strong & collaborative relationships as well as to learn new libraries, tools, and technologies.

Sponsored by us! Support our work through: Our courses at Talk Python Training Python Testing with pytest Brian #1: How to be helpful online Ned Batchelder When answering questions. Lots of great advice. We’ll focus on just a few here. Answer the question first. There may be other problems with their code that they are not asking about that you want to point out. But keep that for after you’ve helped them and built up trust. No third rails. “It should be OK for someone to ask for help with a program using sockets, and not have to defend using sockets, especially if the specific question has nothing to do with sockets.” Same for pickle, threads, globals, singletons, etc. Don’t let your strong opinions derail the conversation. The goal is to help people. Strong reactions can make the asker feel attacked. No dog-piling. Meet their level. “Try to determine what they know, and give them a reasonable next step, not the ultimate solution. A suboptimal solution they understand is better than a gold standard they can’t make use of.” Say yes. Avoid absolutes. Step back. Take some blame. Use more words. “IRC and other online mediums encourage quick short responses, which are exactly the kinds of responses that will be easy to misinterpret. Try to use more words, especially encouraging optimistic words.” Understand your motivations. Humility. Make connections. Finally: It’s hard. All of Ned’s advice is great. Good meditations for when you read a question and your mouth drops open and your eyes stare in shock. Michael #2: blackcellmagic IPython magic command to format python code in cell using black. Has a great animated gif ;) Just do: %load_ext blackcellmagic Then in any cell %%black and magic! Accepts “arguments” like %%black -l 79 Tobin Jones has been kind enough to develop a NPM package over blackcellmagic to format all cells at once which can be found here. But it’s archived so no idea whether it’s current. Brian #3: Test smarter, not harder Luke Plant There’s lots of great advice in here, but I want to highlight two parts that are often overlooked. “Write your test code with the functions/methods/classes you wish existed, not the ones you’ve been given.” “If the API you want to use doesn’t exist yet, you still use it, and then make it exist.” This is huge. People tend to think like this while coding, but forget to do it while testing. Also. Your tests are often the first client for your API, so if the API in question is under your control and you need an easier API for testing, consider adding it to the real API. If it’s easier for testing, it may be easier for other clients of the API as well. “Only write necessary tests — specifically, tests whose estimated value is greater than their estimated cost. This is a hard judgement call, of course, but it does mean that at least some of the time you should be saying “it’s not worth it”.” Michael #4: US: The Greatest Package in the World by Jeremy Carbaugh A package for easily working with US and state metadata: all US states and territories postal abbreviations Associated Press style abbreviations FIPS codes capitals years of statehood time zones phonetic state name lookup is contiguous or continental URLs to shapefiles for state, census, congressional districts, counties, and census tracts The state lookup method allows matching by FIPS code, abbreviation, and name Even a CLI: $ states md Brian #5: Think Like A Coder Part of TED-Ed “… a 10-episode series that will challenge viewers with programming puzzles as the main characters— a girl and her robot companion— attempt to save a world that has been plunged into turmoil.” Although, I only count 9 episodes, I was 4 episodes in and hooked. Main cool thing, I think, is introducing terms and topics so they will be familiar when someone really does start coding: loops, for loops, until loops, while loops conditionals variables path logic permutations searches tables recursion Big O Also highly recommended for getting excited about coding: Girls Who Code: Learn to Code and Change the World TED-Ed has tons of other cool series on lots of subjects. CodeCombat Michael #6: Costs of running a Python web app for 55k monthly users How much does running a web app in production actually cost? KeepTheScore is an online software for scorekeeping. Create your own scoreboard for up to 150 players and start tracking points. It's mostly free and requires no user account. Keepthescore.co is a Python flask application running on DigitalOcean and Firebase. It currently has around 55k unique visitors per month, per day it’s around 3.4k. Servers and database on DigitalOcean: Costs per month: $95, the servers are oversized for the load they’re currently seeing. Amazon Web Services: Costs per month: $60, use a reporting tool called Metabase to generate insights and reports from the database Google Cloud, costs per month: $1.32, for Firebase DNS hosting, costs per month: $5 Disqus, costs per month: $10 Is it worth it? Is there revenue? In total that’s around $171 USD per month. If you’re running a company with employees that would be peanuts, but in this case the cost is being borne by a single indie-developer out of his own pocket. The bigger issue is that on the revenue side there’s a big fat zero. This is the reason why we are currently working on monetization. Some Talk Python stats: Maybe 40k monthly visitors, but oh, the podcast clients 3M requests / month just RSS, resulting in 320 GB / mo of XML traffic. We run on two prod servers: $10 & $5 as well as a dedicated MongoDB server @ $10. Total $25/mo. On the other hand, Talk Python Training's AWS bill last month was over $1,000 USD. You can hear a bunch about this on Talk Python 215. Joke: From twitter, originally from Netlify: "Oh no! We lost the hackers! Where did they go?" "I don't know! They just ransomware!” Number of days since I have encountered an array index error: -1.

If there is one message I've been pushing across all of the Talk Python episodes, it's that programming is a superpower. Rather than all of us abandoning what we're interested in and becoming CS majors, we can take our passion or expertise and 10x it with a little programming skill. In that case, we should be teaching kids fluency in programming at a younger age. And yet, almost every platform or example meant to do so pulls its punches. We'll teach kids programming concepts but not code itself. That's a bridge too far. But it's not! That's why I'm excited about Code Combat. It's an online coding platform that uses real Python syntax to guide your hero, visually, through a dungeon full of challenges. Yet the editor and customized error messages mean this is approachable for kids before they can even type reliably. On this episode, we'll meet Nick Winter, one of the cofounders of Code Combat. There's a lot of philosophy behind the tool and technology to make it kid-friend and real Python at the same time. Oh, and it's running Python in the browser.

In this episode of the DevEd podcast, David Graham - founder and CEO of Code Ninjas, introduces himself, gives a background of how he got into software development, briefly describes his vision that led to the creation of Code Ninjas and the interesting work that goes on there. The company essentially consists of coding centres for kids in multiple locations throughout the US, with cool learning programs catering to several age groups, its main purpose being teaching hands on software development combined with a lot of fun.  The panelists share their views about the current state of programming education in schools, if it is adequate, and what can be done to supplement it. They discuss that it is important to teach kids how to think and how to solve problems rather than relying on memory based learning. They mention ways to get students excited about programming, different learning tools and platforms, and similarities and differences in learning patterns between kids and adult learners.They talk on why should everyone care about coding education for kids, even those who do not have them, and how people can help out in getting youth involved in software development. They also discuss if there is anything they wish had existed to aid learning for young individuals also how it would help them in return. In the end, David explains how can people volunteer for Code Ninjas.

In this weeks episode we share the inspirational story of two developers that have devoted themselves to teaching the disadvantaged youth of two prominent townships, Diepsloot and Olievenhoutbosch, to program. We chat to Theo Bohnen (https://twitter.com/tbohnenjnr) and Mandla Magagula (https://twitter.com/mandlamag) about their Sisonke Rising initiative. Sisonke Rising an impact and value driven community outreach programme that focuses on teaching young people life skills through the vehicle of software development. The aim of the initiative is ensure as many young people as possible are able to collaboratively code and build working software. Formerly called DrivenSpark, Sisonke came from the Zulu/Sotho word meaning "We are together", and together they focus on more than just code. They're a value-driven initiative. Values were chosen by the students themselves, and are reinforced every Saturday when they come together to learn. Their values include communication, feedback, courage, simplicity, care and fun. They have great support from their employer, Driven Alliance (http://drivenalliance.com/), and one of the founders (and former guest on the show) Kevin Trethewey (https://twitter.com/KevinTrethewey) who offers his own property and money to provide the students with books and snacks. They follow a spiral teaching model, where the more experienced students help the new entrants, reinforcing their skills. They rely on existing online teaching resources for their curriculum, using online typing courses, play online and offline games, and even getting them to submit their code to GitHub. Sisonke Rising is in desperate need of laptop donations for their students. If you have a working laptop that you no longer need, please contact Theo or Mandla to arrange for delivery. If you want to replicate Sisonke Rising in an underprivileged community near you, you can also get in touch with Theo & Mandla. Last, but not least, if you're willing to come help on a Saturday, get in touch with them and share your knowledge with the students.

“It’s not obvious why programming is awesome – you can’t build anything at first, everything is really hard at first – what’s the point? And so we decided, lets make a game so that the engagement is there from the first moment.” Continue reading… The post CodeCombat with Nick Winter appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Gregor PRIDUN und Horst JENS plaudern über freie Software und andere Nerd-Themen. Shownotes auf http://goo.gl/CKE812 oder http://biertaucher.at

Justin and Jason discuss Justin's rebound project and the myriad questions Justin has about HFT (high-frequency trading), learning to code with CodeAvengers and CodeCombat, the latest on Operation Superhero and MV Code Club, scaling with Node.js at Uber, posting error messages to Slack and HipChat, scaling and managing servers at Digedu, Jason's interview on Get Up and Code, why iXL didn't work for the math team and how to setup a backup configuration using MySQL and EC2.

Chris and Jennifer recently moved back to Kansas City from LA to grow their web based graphics design platform Whobaloo.  Bootstrapping it out of their web design and development company Upside Down Design, they've created a great product and managed to keep their sanity in the process.   (function() { $('#audio287008 audio').mediaelementplayer({ features: ['playpause', 'current', 'progress', 'duration', 'volume', 'popup', 'download'] }); }).call(this); Links:WhobalooUpside Down DesignBetaBloxCodeCombatKauffman 2013 SOE
