    The canonical source for learning Scala from scratch (at least, when I was learning a couple of years ago) is the Coursera course by Martin Odersky, one of the language's founders.…

    I think you underestimate how much having something tactile, with buttons and LEDs, can really shift how younger students perceive learning. I volunteer teach a group of 8/9 year o…

    Nothing groundbreaking, but good analysis rarely is. I'd be interested to see the relationship between comment karma and age of post though - do earlier comments always get more at…

    The "What am I looking at?" section ( http://www.chromoscope.net/1.4.1/what.html ) says that they are: "Don't worry, they aren't holes in the Universe being ripped open by creature…

    This is the big next step that a lot of people were expecting - where in-depth studies into all of the competitors occurs and it's gradually revealed that this defeat device game h…

    Isn't it a bit silly to throw away every single @ tweet? Imagine I'm having a twitter conversation with my friends about who can make the best pangram and this data is ignored just…

    Thanks for this, I really appreciate the section at the end on a suggested learning process. Looks like I've got my weekend planned!
