Learning and teaching

Showing

Based on 1 single principle

  1. removing layers of non feedback

resulting in live coding practices specific to domains of interests

See Inventing on Principle by Bret Victor, CUSec 2012

Solution

Inspired by

Live coding for Music with ChucK.

Principles

  • Dont Repeat Yourself (DRY)
    • Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.

Key abbreviations

Practical Overviews

Tools, IDE, community websites, ...

Code re-use

Note that this should include search first across own produced code including code within this wiki (most likely in this Tools group), own repositories (cf Mercurial or Fossil), past projects, etc...

Live coding

  • documentation ready
  • REPL
    • keep the history for further study
  • safe closure (VM, jails, zones, ...)
  • during live demo
    • uses a transparent terminal/console with notes hidden behind it
      • not distracting for the audience (unlike constant apps switching)
      • predictable for everybody
      • relaxing for the presenter, nothing to forget and flexible flow (interruptions or new ideas are ok)
  • learn from Wikipedia:Hackathon and its good practices

  • Algorithmica an international journal which publishes theoretical papers on algorithms that address problems arising in practical areas, and experimental papers of general appeal for practical importance or techniques.

Hardware specific

From the closest to the hardware to the largest architecture (following the guiding principle of LayeredModel).

    • software either as a craft or as a production process, requires tools and your framework will have a great impact on the result. Consequently is it a real investment and has to be done as such with an estimated ROI.

    • map languages with components
    • provide an explained choice
  • references

Profiling

Entire stack

Principle : the complexity is growing through SaaS, PaaS and all kind of "new" vendors of solution. Knowing "the stack" is consequently still fundamental to stay efficient regarding the architecture and its performance but also the cost.

Note

My notes on Tools gather what I know or want to know. Consequently they are not and will never be complete references. For this, official manuals and online communities provide much better answers.
