LEARN THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CODING BY LOSING YOURSELF IN THESE SIMPLE-BUT-DEVILISH PUZZLES.
Information graphics which are the visual representation of data known as infogographics are making rounds online these days. It seems like web users are favouring this form of content format over other forms.
Best Practices for Digital Citizenship
The web design education industry has exploded from a small niche to a powerful, continually expanding force. Countless people all over the planet are interested in learning about how to build and design websites, and tons of companies are cropping up promising the ultimate solution.
Addressing a learning/performance need, we instructional designers work toward a solution for learners that meets learning requirements, works effectively in the context of the learners’ needs, and engages them in a manner that stimulates learning so they can do new things or perform better.

The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineering teams use to guide them as they solve problems. Anyone can do it! To determine how to build something (skyscraper, amusement park ride, bicycle, music player), engineers gather information and conduct research to understand the needs of the challenge to be addressed. Then they brainstorm many imaginative possible solutions. They select the most promising idea and embark upon a design that includes drawings, and analytical decisions on the materials and construction, manufacturing and fabrication technologies to use. They create and test many prototypes, making improvements until the product design is good enough to meet their needs.

I spend a lot of time buying and testing iPad apps for kids. To be more specific, I lovingly do this for a certain two-year-old girl who is currently on a very successful #OccupyiPad mission in my house. Through extensive observational research, I’ve discovered what works and doesn’t work for my daughter, so I’m going to shamelessly generalize my findings to all children and propose four essential guidelines for developers who work on iPad apps for children.
Build your own robot
For 50 years, computer programmers have been writing code. New technologies continue to emerge, develop, and mature at a rapid pace. Now there are more than 2,500 documented programming languages! O'Reilly has produced a poster called History of Programming Languages (PDF: 701K), which plots over 50 programming languages on a multi-layered, color-coded timeline.
A résumé or CV (the longer of the two) is a summary of all your work, gathered together onto a single sheet of paper, PDF or site. It’s a traditionally mind-numbing requirement for every job application, but remains incredibly useful nevertheless.
ENIAC was originally created with the intent of calculating artillery firing tables for the Army’s Ballistic Research Laboratory.
The ginormous, 25-ton computer contained 17,458 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, 1,500 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, and 5 million hand-soldered joints, producing a total power consumption of 160 kilowatts. In a single second the computer could calculate 5,000 additions, 357 multiplications, or 38 divisions. Back in the day, the calculating computer was $500,000, which totals about $6 million today, adjusted for inflation.

Why “Infographic Thinking” Is The Future, Not A Fad
As if there was any doubt that Apple is the innovator here, here’s an amusing graphic showing the design of tablets before and after the launch of the iPad.
