Even though this is a trivial example, the advantages of Python stand out.
Yorktown’s Computer Science I course has no prerequisites, so many of the
students seeing this example are looking at their first program. Some of them
are undoubtedly a little nervous, having heard that computer programming is
difficult to learn. The C++ version has always forced me to choose between
two unsatisfying options: either to explain the #include, void main(), {, and
} statements and risk confusing or intimidating some of the students right at
the start, or to tell them, “Just don’t worry about all of that stuff now; we will
talk about it later,” and risk the same thing. The educational objectives at
this point in the course are to introduce students to the idea of a programming
statement and to get them to write their first program, thereby introducing
them to the programming environment. The Python program has exactly what
is needed to do these things, and nothing more.
Comparing the explanatory text of the program in each version of the book
further illustrates what this means to the beginning student. There are thirteen
paragraphs of explanation of “Hello, world!” in the C++ version; in the Python
version, there are only two. More importantly, the missing eleven paragraphs
do not deal with the “big ideas” in computer programming but with the minutia
of C++ syntax. I found this same thing happening throughout the book.
Whole paragraphs simply disappear from the Python version of the text because
Python’s much clearer syntax renders them unnecessary.
Using a very high-level language like Python allows a teacher to postpone talking
about low-level details of the machine until students have the background that
they need to better make sense of the details. It thus creates the ability to put
“first things first” pedagogically. One of the best examples of this is the way in
which Python handles variables. In C++ a variable is a name for a place that
holds a thing. Variables have to be declared with types at least in part because
the size of the place to which they refer needs to be predetermined. Thus, the
idea of a variable is bound up with the hardware of the machine. The powerful
and fundamental concept of a variable is already difficult enough for beginning
students (in both computer science and algebra). Bytes and addresses do not
help the matter. In Python a variable is a name that refers to a thing. This
is a far more intuitive concept for beginning students and is much closer to the
meaning of “variable” that they learned in their math courses. I had much less
difficulty teaching variables this year than I did in the past, and I spent less
time helping students with problems using them.
Using Domain Feature to handle Feature InteractionsSébastien Mosser
Software Product Lines in general and feature diagrams in particular support the modeling of software variability. Un- fortunately, features may interact with each other, leading to feature interaction issues. Even if detected at the im- plementation level, interaction resolution choices are part of the business variability. In this paper, we propose to use a stepwise process to deal with feature interactions at the domain level: the way an interaction is resolved is consid- ered as a variation point in the configuration process. This method and the associated implementation are applied onto a concrete case study (the jSeduite information system).
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
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.
