  1. 🤔 Ah, the "Missing Semester" of 2026, where they finally reveal the dark arts of opening a terminal and using a text editor! 🎓✨ Because clearly, knowing how to use the tools you spent thousands of hours on is the real missing link in CS education, not the actual content you're supposed to learn. 😂🔧

  5. This year, PhD candidates from the ACP section are helping our (under)graduate students with the Advent of Code challenges by @ericwastl. Don't forget: programming is done best when it brings joy to you and to your community!

    During the week, we offer "office hours" from 4pm to 6pm in the local student association's room. This format allows students to get help from each other and from the ACP volunteers.

  6. Reminded of my first year programming lecturer Frank King who on the first lab gave us printed handouts with the instructions and code we needed to write as "there is a magic that happens when the code goes through your fingers". The act of actually typing it helps you remember it and how it works in a way that copying and pasting (or worse, using GenAI) never does. chu.cam.ac.uk/fellows/dr-frank #Programming #CSEducation

  7. Huge congratulations to Brian Harvey and Dan Garcia on receiving the 2024 ACM Service Award!

    Together with Jens Mönig @moenig they laid the foundation for Snap!, the visual programming language that powers TurtleStitch. Their work has enabled creative coding and learning experiences around the world—and we’re proud to build on it!
    Thank you! 💙

  8. Seven-action Documentation Model

    I found this blog post from @[email protected] really helpful for exhaustively enumerating and mapping out different uses of software documentation. It will be useful content for describing useful documentation practices in my ML Production Systems / #MLOps class.

  9. The 2025 #IEEE Frontiers in #Education #conference will be held in Nashville, TN on November 2-5. Call for abstracts is open; abstracts due Feb 3. My colleagues have reported having great and very valuable experiences at FIE.

  11. I also happen to really like the Marshmallow library for data validation. It can check types, for missing fields, for extraneous fields, and semantic checks on the values of fields (whether a string contains a valid email address, if numbers are in a specific range, etc.). It then prints out detailed error messages for the violations. #DataEngineering #cseducation #teaching #softwaredevelopment

  12. After each batch is processed, the number of records processed and fraction surviving are pushed to a monitoring service. This allows setting alerts if processing rates and survival fractions fall out of expected ranges. #dataengineering #monitoring #teaching #cseducation #softwaredevelopment

  13. For the next part of the reference solution, I’m implementing the batch cleaning job. Reliability is a key focus. While Pandas and Polars are more convenient to use and more performant due to vectorized operations, it’s better to process each record individually so that exceptions can be caught and bad records can be skipped without impeding the processing of the rest of the batch. #dataengineering #datascience #cseducation #teaching

  14. 🚀The latest issue of "#AdvancesInComputing" is out, and it's all about #CSEducation!

    Explore in-depth articles offering meaningful insights and actionable recommendations on the challenges and opportunities in the world of computing education today. 📚 From the roles of the university to the necessity of research experiences for undergraduates, this edition has it all.

  15. Has anyone ever crafted a #TowersOfHanoi set without the sticks that works well? I'm specifically interested in one where it's immensely difficult to stack a larger disk atop a smaller one. #Recursion #Algorithms #CSEducation

  16. @SusanNotess and I wrote a new online textbook!

    Social Media, Ethics, and Automation

    We teach people who have never programmed before to write social media bots, and then think about the ethics of what they've just done.

    Visit the textbook here: social-media-ethics-automation

  17. my #cs degree is getting more and more disappointing as time goes on… maybe i shouldn’t have any expectations at all, but still. is #cseducation overrated? is it too much to ask for (paid) courses that teach you stuff you can learn online (for free) in the same amount of time and with better quality?

    for me, it’s been difficult to accept, that all courses will have to explain AGAIN how to write a for loop, and where a whole 1.5hrs are spent on how to get a very very basic cli program to work (i know, i know, sometimes students can’t get to compile their code by themselves, but (most of the time) that shouldn’t even be an issue, by this point they should know WHAT a compiler is, and HOW to use it)

    it’d be nice dropping out, getting all courses’ syllabi and studying on my own yk?
