I was lucky enough to attend the NZTech Education Summit on the 26th and 27th of June. And can speak to even cooler changes happening in NZ classrooms. In Campbell's Bay school they are running their classrooms similar to how scrum tea

I get bogged down super easy, so only pick up really small personal projects. I have been working on tutorials for the newly released Construct 3 beta. The kids I teach at codeclub have been begging for Construct 2 tutorials, but now that a

I heard once that it was because punch cards were 80 columns. But my guess is screen resolution? We have much higher definition screens and can fit more on a line now? Should we have longer lines of code? Probably not. Could we? Heck yeah.

I love this, you know you are truly passionate about something when you quite happily spend every waking minute of the day doing it.

+1 for Scratch Jr. I am also a fan of hour of code ( https://code.org/learn ), it uses popular games and Disney characters and typically no project takes more than an hour.

Free stuff! Great! But I imagine one barrier to this gaining traction is trust. Cryptocurrencies are open source and peer to peer, everyone can see everything that goes on. Do you have any plans on open sourcing the current implementation o

I have been volunteering at my local codeclub for about a year now. Loads of fun and they have a full online curriculum[0] full of resources that cover everything mentioned in the parent. They also recently partnered with the raspberry pi f

I recently moved from github pages to http://netlify.com . And wow everything was just so easy, 5 minutes I had migrated my static site, custom domain and set up SSL. Their documentation and customer support was fantastic.

I would second Github pages, you can set up a custom domain. The only issue is trying to set up ssl nicely, but you might not even need that. Use a simple template like the one that http://launchaco.com/build/ provides

Tehe. December is always accepted. Otherwise people always get in on their second attempt, user name isn't considered at all.

Appreciate it. Now that it is in my github history though, it is probably more effort than its worth. But I may as well remove it from the live site. If you are ever in the neighbourhood come on over for a beer. Thanks

I will admit to the apostrophes that I skipped. That was purposeful. But now you have piqued my interest, was there anything else?

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. Your first point scares me the most though. If a reader doesn't get the twist a great deal of value is lost and I doubt they are going to put in more effort to get a better understandi

I should probably clean up the readme then. Those were an initial set of ideas when I started creating the story. I went a bit off track.

I had the idea to make this game after playing Christine Love's Even Cowgirls Bleed ( http://scoutshonour.com/cowgirl/ ). Features - Reverse Chronology to tell the story. - Told through the UI of an online journal.

Selling the phone with an unlocked bootloader seems to go against the "Security is critical to us, and we know it is to you too" mentality. Having an unlocked bootloader opens to the device up to far more security vulnerabilities

As important as it is to have expertise and proficiency in a single skill, I also believe that the more diverse your knowledge base the easier it is to pick up new things when you need to. But maybe I am just trying to make excuses for myse
