Dagstuhl Seminar 18061: Evidence about programmers for programming language design

Computing, cszero.wordpress.com, Programming

Last week I was fortunate to attend a seminar at Schloss Dagstuhl. Seminar 18061 was titled: Evidence About Programmers for Programming Language Design. Read more about it over on CS0. It was a unique, immersive, possibly once-in-a-lifetime experience of computer science flavoured academic inquiry.

Irish Third-Level Introduction to Programming Lecturer Survey

Computing, cszero.wordpress.com, Education, Programming

I excited to be conducting a survey of Introductory Programming modules (courses) at third-level institutions in Ireland and Northern Ireland (Details and survey link are here). The survey is modelled on previous surveys conducted in Australasia and the UK. If you happen to teach a current Introduction to Programming course (during any semester) at any Irish third-level university, institute of technology, or private college, I would really appreciate if you would be willing to complete the survey. If you don’t teach on an intro course, but know someone who is, I would appreciate you spreading the word!
