Thanks to Jovana Milutinovich, from Webhostinggeeks.com, our article on experimental graphics support (James Bond, Logo, and Trees has been translated to Serbo-Croatian.
Many thanks to Jovana for this translation: if anyone else would like to translate some of our articles, we’re more than keen to do what we can to help.
We’ll be presenting a paper “Seeking Grace: An new object-oriented language for novices” at SIGCSE 2013 in Denver on March 7th.
We are designing a new object-oriented language, Grace, that is designed for novices. It is intended to integrate proven new ideas in programming languages into a conceptually simple language that allows the instructor and students to focus on the essential complexities of programming, while supporting a variety of approaches to teaching.
Hopefully, this opportunity will help us expose Grace to more of the CS education community.
Andrew Black, Kim Bruce & Michael Homer will be at SPLASH 19-26 October, in Tuscon, Arizona.
This should be a good chance for people new to the project to hear about Grace — and for experienced people to find out more, especially about the implementation and Grace’s pattern matching.
There’s a bunch of other fun stuff at SPLASH this year — I’ll admit to a soft spot for the talks at RPG 2012 (Tue 7:30-9:30 pm – Salon C (GB)), and the great keynotes — it’s just a pity I can’t make it this year.
Michael Homer will be at Strange Loop 23-25 September, in St Loius. Michael is talking about Grace in this year’s Emerging Languages Camp on the 23rd.
This should be a good chance for people new to the project to hear about Grace — and for experienced people to find out more, especially about the implementation.
The latest issue of the GOTO Conference Magazine includes an article on Grace – along with other articles on Neo4J, NoSQL, and Kanban.
