The document discusses The Key Program (TKP), a global non-profit that produces free, open-source programming course materials for kids ages 11-17. TKP uses an "Intentional Method" to teach Java and other languages, translating English instructions into code one line at a time. The TKP Java courses consist of recipes, recaps, variations, quizzes, deep dives, and worksheets over 8 courses and 24 weeks. TKP aims to make coding fun, engaging, and accessible for all students through their guided, project-based approach.

Recap and Feedback from our 1st Code School at Jama SoftwareRyan Saul
We held an internal Code School at Jama Software recently with many non-engineers. Many of the attendees (or should I say students) were from Sales and Customer Service. This was a great idea from our CSO Eric Winquist that I was happy to help with.
Using apprenticeships to strength the tech education pipelineVictor Cassone
The current tech education pipelines aren't working. The demand for software developers is vastly higher than the supply. We need to start thinking about tech education differently and I believe apprenticeships can be used to more efficiently and effectively training software developers.

Are you currently managing AI projects that require a lot of GPU power?
Are you tired of managing the complexity of your infrastructures, GPU instances and your Kubeflow yourself?
Need flexibility for your AI platform or SaaS solution?

Project method is one of the modern method of teaching in which, the students point of view is given importance in designing the curricula and content of studies. This method is based on the philosophy of Pragmatism and the principle of ‘Learning by doing’. In this strategy pupils perform constructive activities in natural condition. A project is a list of real life that has been imparted into the school. It demands work from the pupils.
Technical practices like refactoring and TDD (Test-Driven Development) have become mainstream in software development. However, software developers I met in many companies are either oblivious or have a different interpretation. My interest is to help developers adopt technical practices and being a mentor has played a big part. Through the years I've tried many ways to maximise the effectiveness of mentee's learning and also brings many challenges and discoveries. In this talk, I'll share the experiments I tried and hope it'll inspire you to help others improve their technical practices.
Grokking Techtalk #45: First Principles ThinkingGrokking VN
Bạn có từng nghe ai đó nói về First Principles Thinking? Nó là gì và engineers chúng ta có thể sử dụng như thế nào cho công việc của mình?
---
First Principles Thinking là một trong những phương pháp mà chúng ta có thể vận dụng để phân chia những vấn đề phức tạp thành những vấn đề nhỏ và cơ bản hơn có thể giải quyết được, cuối cùng tổng hợp lại thành một giải pháp có thể giải quyết được vấn đề phức tạp ban đầu.
Nối tiếp về chủ đề Problem Solving, trong Techtalk lần này, Grokking Vietnam cùng Gambaru sẽ mang đến cho các bạn thêm một góc nhìn về tư duy giải quyết vấn đề. Chúng ta sẽ cùng gặp gỡ anh Hùng Đoàn - exFacebook và hiện đang là Software Engineer tại Coda và cùng nhau thảo luận sâu hơn về chủ đề First Principles Thinking này nhé.
Nội dung bài talk:
* Analogy thinking
* Breaking a problem space down to its building blocks
* Techniques to arrive at first principles thinking
* Application in Programming

TDD - Seriously, try it - Codemotion (May '24)Nacho Cougil
Ever wondered about the wonders of Test-Driven Development (TDD)? Curious devs, this session is for you!
Get ready to dive into TDD and explore its benefits. We'll see the "secrets" behind TDD, its roots, and the rules surrounding it. But that's not all! We'll also uncover the ups and downs of TDD, plus we'll share some tips and tricks... including a live coding session in Java. Get ready to level up your development skills with TDD – more insights, more advantages, and more confidence in your coding adventures!
PS: Building tests before production code can sound more fun than it sounds 😉.

TDD - Seriously, try it! - Trójmiasto Java User Group (17th May '23)ssusercaf6c1
Have you heard of TDD? Are you interested or familiar with this practice but have never been able to understand it?
Join this session to see the benefits of Test-Driven Development (TDD), understand how it works and its benefits. In a more detailed approach, we will see this way of developing software, where our code is always built guided by tests.
We will go over some history about TDD, which is the main process we must follow when we work with this mechanic and the rules that surround it. We will also list the main advantages and disadvantages that most developers who practice TDD find and whether the arguments in favour add up to more than those that subtract. Finally, we will review some good habits and practices when applying TDD and see how to do it step by step with an example of a "live" coding session with Java.
At the end of the session, I hope that you will have a wider understanding of what TDD is, what advantages it brings, why it is interesting to master it and also that you will take with you some tricks and good practices to be able to apply them in your day-to-day life when writing code

Presentation about DevCoach, a learning framework aimed to help beginner software developers in multiple ways and how experienced software developers can further help in growing the local tech community.
How I help others to level up technical practicesStanly Lau
Technical/Engineering practices like refactoring and TDD (Test-Driven Development) have become mainstream in software development to deal with maintainability. However, these aren't commonly practised in companies. One of the reasons is the steep learning curve and requires years of experience learning from others to be competent. The other reason is most technical mentoring happens haphazardly, being ineffective or nothing. This talk is about the series of experiments to grow technical practices competency and exploring the subject of mentoring that can help to sustain the growth of technical practices in companies.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
