AFAIK this is really old work. LLVM has pretty much dominated this space for the past decade. http://suif.stanford.edu/suif/suif1/suif-overview/suif.html As a reference, some of the grad students originally

Classroom learning is only a fraction of the residential college experience that people pay for. Ask any university alum at their ten-year reunion what they remember most fondly about college, what shaped their lives the most, and what was

A major element of whether one is selected for invitation into closed, snooty clubs ... Interesting insight about "stickiness"; reminds me of high school cliques, college fraternities/sororities/clubs, etc. Looking for

More like a spiritual successor to HtDP, which is somewhat opposed to the SICP philosophy, even though both use Scheme variants: http://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/fffk-h...

http://pythontutor.com/ (my webapp) very small footprint ... just a single simple CGI script. but pulls in 6,000 - 10,000 uses per day. not "large" by commercial standards, but not bad for a free tool made by a si

What I think I would appreciate more than "live" values of variables etc. would be integration of some statistics into IDE. For example, how often was this function called? Check out Theseus from MIT / Adobe Research: http

that sounds like pretty clear expectations to me, much better than the nebulous "do something novel for a few years, impress some old people, and then maybe you'll get a PhD, just maybe." yes, the game is imperfect and always

wow great questions! right now www.pythontutor.com is my ongoing effort to support Python CS0/CS1. REPLs are important for live programming via trial-and-error. see: http://pgbovine.net/teaching-librarians-programming.h

great suggestions. sadly i am limited by time and bandwidth. this was a weekend hack that i did by myself, so it's unclear how much more rigorous i can make the analysis. i'll try to incorporate some lightweight edits for clarific

@yminsky -- yep, taxonomies r hard :) but i'm trying to go as much as possible by what each department proclaims for itself rather than trying to calibrate across departments. If Harvard calls a class "Computer Science II", I

Thanks, will look into those and update accordingly. However, Harvard CS51 doesn't count as CS1 since CS50 is already its CS1 course. (But please correct me if I'm wrong.)

If you're from, say, Kansas or Ohio you are less likely to attend one of them than if you're from California or Massachusetts. While that might be true, there's also a population density issue. CA, NY, and MA have large urb

interesting analogy, but i think the difference is that we intuitively understand what spanners and nasty dirty oil is, since they're physical objects that we see in daily life. so if i take a car maintenance course, i expect to get di
