Here’s why I decided to work on yet-another implementation of a Python API that we first developed in 2001, how to get the implementation, and how it’s different. Why we needed Python MediaComp in the browser In 2002, we created a course at Georgia Tech called “Introduction to Media Computation.” Georgia Tech required all liberal […]| Computing Ed Research – Guzdial's Take
“It’s the end of Computer Programming as We Know It” wrote Farad Manjoo in the NYTimes last June. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, said earlier this year that programming is no longer important: “It is…| Computing Ed Research - Guzdial's Take
Middle-skill computing work is an emerging theme in my research to describe the kinds of work and jobs in computing that are not always considered "computing jobs". Doing this work doesn't require theoretical CS knowledge, and the jobs tend to be in $40-100k USD salary range. I think "middle-skill computing work" has significant promise for increasing access to computing careers, and I'd love to talk with more people about this idea.| Lara Karki
After we got the go-ahead to start developing PCAS (see an update on PCAS here), I had meetings with a wide range of liberal arts and sciences faculty. I’d ask faculty how they used computing in th…| Computing Ed Research - Guzdial's Take
My main activity for the last year has been building two new courses for our new Program in Computing for the Arts and Sciences (PCAS), which I’ve blogged about recently here (with video of a talk …| Computing Ed Research - Guzdial's Take
