Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a freely available teaching tool designed to be a student's first exposure to object-oriented programming. It allows students to learn fundamental programming concepts in the context of creating animated movies and simple video games. In Alice, 3-D objects (e.g., people, animals, and vehicles) populate a virtual world and students create a program to animate the objects. In Alice's interactive interface, students drag and drop graphic tiles to create a program, where the instructions correspond to standard statements in a production oriented programming language, such as Java, C++, and C#.

DigitalNZ 6 Ways to Tell Your Story With Interactive Maps | MSDS Brand Strategy & Design If you’re into interactive maps, it’s a good time to be alive! Seems we’ve entered a golden era of interactive mapping, with no shortage of exciting ways to display geographically-specific data. In the last few years alone, we’ve seen exponential growth in interactive mapping software that presents data from all sorts of angles. But while being spoiled for choice can be a good thing, all this product and feature clutter makes it difficult to make a choice. When we have a client who wants to design an interactive map, our first question is not, “What kind of map do you need?” but always, “What are you trying to say?” So, let's say you want to add an interactive map to your website. Assuming you may not have had time to navigate the world of online mapping software and could use some help designing for impact using geographic data, hopefully I can offer some insight gained over years of helping clients tell their story using interactive maps. 3 Things Before You Dive In 1. 2. 1a. 1b. 1c.

Knitting as programming I’ve seen a few people, over the years, compare knitting to programming. It usually goes something like this: Wow, have you ever looked at a knitting pattern? It looks kind of like source code! Those knitters must be real geeks! And it’s often accompanied by a snippet of a set of actual knitting instructions that look like incomprehensible gibberish to the uninitiated, but which your grandma could probably read and turn into a jumper or a scarf or an attractive toilet-paper-roll cover (my Nanna actually knitted these!) In case you haven’t seen this kind of knitting pattern before, here’s an example: A typical knitting pattern from the 1940s. There was even a post a little while ago entitled Knitters and coders: separated at birth? Here’s the thing. row 10: k2 p3 *(c6f p6) rpt from * 8 times c6f p3 k2 (Or as the aforementioned article would put it would put it, (c6f p6){9}.) Is what you’re doing programming? Despite that, I very firmly believe that knitting is like programming.
