It depends, I was more involved with my daughter when we read the Hello World book and it was really nice because some odd things about computers were explained in simple language, and the character of the kid which questions everything is

My daughter is following this book (Python for Kids) on her own now, and about a year ago we spent a while reading the Hello World book ( http://www.manning.com/sande/ ) which is a very gentle intro to programming, Python and it was great.

Don't use regexes to parse HTML, use BeautifulSoup instead. Also, don't use "brogrammer" style comments, they are not funny enough.

I just replied to this on Ask Ubuntu (including screenshots). You can reduce the padding a bit with a .gtkrc file and/or custom GTK themes. This and some font-tweaking on the same file should be good enough.

SEEKING WORK - Remote from Chile (part-time or full-time) I'm a full-stack developer with 8+ years of experience on the Java platform. In recent years I've moved myself from traditional Java EE to Spring, then worked with Groovy/Grails and

Honestly, this is not an option for everyone. It's much cheaper to give your parents your old PC or laptop with an updated distro (say, Ubuntu) and forget about viruses, etc. They usually get most of their needs from the web (eg. webmail,

To all people complaining about unstable apps, poor performance and buggy drivers: I purchased my last laptop from Dell because I was aware it was well supported on Ubuntu. This alone makes a huge difference, trying to install Mac OS X on a

I mostly use Emacs for development. Vim for small edits on the console, sometimes I open gEdit to read plain text files when I'm not coding. On Windows (under Virtualbox or on remote servers) I tend to use Noteapad++. I don't use much Ecli

Use none of them, try Grails or JRuby. Really.

Coming from a Java and Grails background, I debuted as a Rails developer this year and was very impressed by Ruby and the framework too. Also tried some basic Clojure, solved most of the Clojure koans and solved 48 problems (so far) on 4Clo

Great article. Is it just me or the prepend/append examples are swapped? ie. If you want to append TO your PYTHONPATH you should do PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/some/new/path

Source code is not only about the implementation, but also about the approach of the developers to express a solution to a problem. If swearing is part of that expression, it's OK to me, but I agree that unneccesary swearing, and being offe

+1 for Renoise. I've heard some awesome compositions made on it, and it's the natural evolution of demoscene trackers. For a sample, see the following video with the track 'Leandi' by Mosaik (a fairly known demoscene musician): http://www.

I'm 35 and I'm learning Clojure these days after many years on Java and web programming (JavaScript and now mostly Groovy and Grails). When I was on the University I had one class which included programming in Scheme. I absolutely hated it

I'm walking the same road, been working on the Java platform for 8+ years. The recent trend of new languages on top of the JVM is really exciting, so you have several options to investigate without trowing away all your existing Java knowle

I think it's much more common than what you may think. I've passed through a similar phase when I was at the university long ago, too much partying, alcohol and lots of junk food. Drink water and try to exercise and achieve small goals (say

Also, if you need help at some stage, it's much easier to find someone with some knowledge on a framework (say, Symphony, since he built in PHP) than having to train that person into your framework and then the thoughts behind your applicat

Exactly. My dad is a chemist and he mentioned this to me: it's not hard to 'reverse engineer' the formula. You can iterate until the results of the spectrometer from the original coke and your invented formula are close enough. Good luck wi

In the spirit of letting kids curiosity flow, they can have a great time just by tweaking already existing games. In Scratch, they can open any of the existing examples, play around, change some numbers or images, play again and see the eff
