His article explains how to mix Python code with C++ code and why you might want to do so. I've seen several C++ implementations of my simple-minded "generate a list of Prime numbers" program, but his is one of the few that reads, in my opinion, like well written code. I am by no means a C++ expert so if you are a C++ expert and can provide an even better example (perhaps using shiny new features of recent additions to the C++ programming language), your opinion would certainly be welcomed by me.rdrewdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257871097225791863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557104658390047492.post-51905393305736283872019-08-08T11:24:20.906-07:002019-08-08T11:24:20.906-07:00I am disappointed that there are no comments here ...I am disappointed that there are no comments here as of 8/8/2019.

I think the best example of a field that does goal-driven curriculum well is music. Music lessons are almost always driven by learning to play particular pieces, and good music teachers will choose pieces to learn that students want to play while introducing new techniques in a progressive way.

I've found your blog through Udacity (in your profile, after reading a very good answer of yours to other student's question).<br />I applaud your idea of trying to get those kids to take up courses and learn, and to try to keep them from dropping out. I'll try to visit your blog to check up on updates on this undertaking.<br />Good luck!Pankinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557104658390047492.post-26843758537598154442013-02-07T19:19:18.182-08:002013-02-07T19:19:18.182-08:00I've volunteered to guide a class through a me...I've volunteered to guide a class through a mentor'ed edition of Udacity CS101 at the local North Hempstead, NY, "Yes We Can" Community Center. Udacity's lack of a dashboard means that figuring out who most needs help or perhaps needs encouragement is going to be hard for me to figure out. Udacity seems to even lack a mechanism for grouping a set of people together as a "class" for tracking purposes. Udacity, it appears, has no support for any notion of a "local teacher" role, but Khan academy, judging from this video apparently does.<br /><br />I won't feel right turning the students loose and checking back 8 weeks later to see who has passed the exam. I think I should take a more active role in those weeks between the starting line and the finish line.<br /><br />The classroom has 12 PC-equipped seats. If I manage to fill the class-room at the start and have anything like a conventional MOOC drop-out rate, the odds are I won't live long enough to see a student pass the final exam. My hope is that having a local presence will boost the retention rate, but so far we've only announced the course (aiming for a 3/4/2013 start), not really started so far, so mine is not yet a reality-tested point of view. rdrewdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257871097225791863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557104658390047492.post-20313252899757486772013-02-06T19:08:50.257-08:002013-02-06T19:08:50.257-08:00i find your blog very useful.

I have used MOOC's but rather than passing the course I have failed many times even when I had a good hold on prerequisites.<br />Earlier, I took many courses out of excitement that I would get the knowledge from some of "PRESTIGIOUS" universities from all over the world. I devoted a lot of time to the courses but was unable to complete even a single one. Now I am on programming languages and 6.00x.<br />I hope so that I can complete at least one of them.<br />Talking about the doubts that arise while video lectures, one thing comes in my mind that a real person is necessary to clear those doubts. At least some of them which are really important. <br />I had a experience when I was unable to solve the problem from PROGR. LANGUAGES course. I put that thing on forum but what I get in those forums which just points to some lectures threads and some suggestions. I had many experiences like this one.<br />Regarding the dropouts from the course is really worrying thing. Well I know many people begin with enthusiasm but at the end they give up. <br />So if you want to succeed in this online courses its not easy. But at last if you even completed some segments and modules of those lectures, it is a worthwhile experience for you.<br />NupurAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557104658390047492.post-60219468236001237362013-02-05T18:52:22.773-08:002013-02-05T18:52:22.773-08:00"talking at a May, 2013..."

I remember getting out of college a few years ago and getting my first engineering job at Google. I thought I wrote clean code that was styled in a readable way, apparently I was wrong. Cut forward to 2 years later when I left Google for a smaller company that had been around since the 90s and here I was, the only guy that cared about writing clean and uniformly styled code. The place didn't have a style guide or code reviews, so the interns that started there seemed to learn very little about proper code structure.<br /><br />I thank you for taking the time to shed a little light on the subject for the new people :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109033362973143986noreply@blogger.com
