21st Century Learning and Teaching

Programming language C might be 48 years old, but it's still hugely relevant for developers today and, by one measure, still more popular than Python. 

That's according to Tiobe's January 2020 language popularity index. Tiobe, which bases its rankings on queries on major search engines, awarded C the programming language of 2019 title because it saw an increase of 2.4% in queries over the past year, which was greater than C#'s 2.1% and Python's 1.4%. 

While machine learning and data science have propelled Python to new heights in 2019, Tiobe attributes C's continued popularity to the Internet of Things and the ton of smart devices being released these days.

KI erstellt selbstständig Java-Programmteile

API-Aufrufe oder Fehlerbehandlung: Bayou ist ein maschinelles Lernsystem, das eigenständig Java-Programmteile erstellen kann. Die Forscher des Projekts sehen es als eine bessere Code-Vervollständigung, die später auch Nicht-Programmierern den Einstieg erleichtern soll.

No matter whether you are a seasoned programmer or you simply want to take your first steps in writing code, Repl.it wants to help you get from idea to result as fast as possible — without complicated installs and setup procedures getting in your way.

The Y Combinator-funded project, which released version 1.0 of its service this week, gives you an easy to use programming environment in the browser, which slowly reveals its complexity as you write your code.

The acronym REPL stands for read-eval-print loop and basically provides a programmer with an interactive programming environment. Unsurprisingly, that’s exactly what Repl.it gives you, too, and with 200,000 weekly active developers on the platform already, there is clearly a demand for this service.

Repl.it  already supports virtually every programming language you can think of, no matter whether that’s JavaScript, Python, PHP or QBasic, as well as popular frameworks like Django, Ruby on Rails and Sinatra. And if you want to hurt yourself and write in Brainfuck, you can do that, too.

Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts. Since 2001, Processing has promoted software literacy within the visual arts and visual literacy within technology.

[Gust MEES] It gets used in following projects, to understand what it is about:

Die meisten Software-Fehler erschweren nur etwas die Bedienung - ansonsten ist alles im grünen Bereich. Doch es gab auch heftige Bugs, die Millionen Menschen in ernsthafte Gefahr gebracht und einige sogar getötet haben. Denn der Software-Code wird von Menschen geschrieben und Menschen machen manchmal gravierende Fehler.
