#ThonnyIDE 5.0.0 is out!
It comes with #Python 3.14 :)

You can get it from https://thonny.org

I'm investigating the compatibility with the thonny-py5mode plug-in and so far it seems to work fine. https://github.com/py5coding/thonny-py5mode/discussions/95

I keep thinking about this piece on students that have not learned yet about folder/directory structures...

https://archive.ph/GV2vX

I have met many students like that, I wonder if I could help them get it better, or if I shouldn't worry about it at all (they'll mostly get used to it without much help).

Hi people with access to computers with #Windows

I have put together a new zip file with the portable version of #ThonnyIDE + #py5 #shapely #trimesh and the #thonnypy5mode plugin pre-installed. I'd love to have some testers... it should work on most Windows 64-bit machines I think...

here-> https://github.com/villares/thonny-portable-with-py5/releases/download/2024-07-04/thonny-414-with-py5-windows-portable.zip

Unzip it and double-click on the thonny.exe file. Tip: use https://7-zip.org to unzip it, it is much faster than the native Windows extract tool.

If you are unfamiliar with py5, you could perhaps read this, which I will update with the new portable Thonny link at some point.

If you use other OSs, like MacOS or GNU/Linux, maybe you could help us make other student friendly bundles? DM me #CreativeCoding #ComputingEducation

Would anyone know of an offline #blockly-like editor for #Python, that is, something with blocks like #scratch, but to run programs on a normal local Python interpreter? #ComputingEducation

Update: It seems that #blockpy is based on #blockly, but the later is more well known, so I edited this toot to make it more "findable". Also, I asked a question at the blockly email forum, let's see if someone answers...

The "intro to py5 and python tutorials" have coding challenges at the end of each of them, but there is no answer key. Would you like to help us contributing with this educational materials?

We can discuss this at https://github.com/py5coding/py5book/issues/113#issuecomment-2076337804

( These wonderful tutorials were mainly written by the great @lucky you can read more about it at https://py5coding.org/tutorials/intro_to_py5_and_python_99_gsoc.html)

Should Generative AI be used in software development education?

We interviewed a small sample of professional software developers to understand how they use Generative AI. Our pedagogical recommendations are available in an upcoming IEEE Software article, "Generative AI Assistants in Software Development Education":
