Photo of the week; Cutting away.

Last time I was at the lab I found this chip had been left on the work table for others to examine. I believe the chip is a EPROM.
Photos of the week; The look of success.

This weeks is to be viewed as a bit of a comic strip.
Effect and Cause, Cause and Effect.
What ever is causing such a contemplating look?
Why it is his recent test of his Game of Life program.

Introduction to Programming (Python)
by Christopher Olah on Jan.20, 2012, under Workshops
On Saturday Feb 11th, I’ll be teaching an Introduction to Python workshop. It will go from 10am to 4pm, with a break for lunch.
Python is a popular programming language, known for its simplicity, ease of use, and elegance. An excellent language to start programming in.
We’ll cover some basic programming concepts. What that will include will depend on how fast we go :)
Please RSVP — we have limited space!
Python Hiatus
by Leigh Honeywell on Dec.17, 2009, under Python Newbies
Python Newbie Nights on Thursdays will be on hiatus for a couple of weeks, returning in mid-January. Folks aren’t around as much and I’m a bit burnt out, so it just seemed like the right time to take a break. Watch this space for the class’s return!

Python Newbie Night vs. Recursion
by Leigh Honeywell on Feb.22, 2009, under Python Newbies
During last week’s python class we got to the part in our wonderful textbook where the concept of recursion is introduced. My friend Susan posted a witty line to my facebook feed regarding the teaching of recursion:
I normally teach recursion by checking to see whether they understand recursion, and if not, teaching recursion.
Within the class we have a variety of levels of experience with programming in general, and recursion in particular. I’m curious to hear peoples’ favourite recursion teaching tools, examples, or other witticisms. What’s your favourite programming problem to solve recursively?
