If Hemingway Wrote JavaScript
Twitter’s Angus Croll imagines what Hemingway, Shakespeare, Breton, Bolano and Dickens would do with JavaScript.
On Hemingway (screenshot above) he writes:
No surprises here. Code reduced to its essentials with no word or variable wasted. It’s not fancy; maybe its even a little pedantic - but that’s the beauty of Hemingway’s writing. No need for elaborate logic or clever variable names. It’s plain and its clear and it does what it has to - and nothing more.
The goal of the script is to create a Fibonacci series (a string of numbers where each number is the sum of the two that precede it).

This is a very innovative method of teaching programming concepts to individuals. I wish I had taken a class like this, it looks fun and informative.
“Created by Ubi de Feo, “from 0 to C” is a series of workshops that aim to teach programming using a tangible approach. Learning how to program requires pragmatic thinking and “advanced problem solving” andthrough the use of tangible, hand-made objects, the team behind the project try to establish a clear understanding of how a computer works and what a programming language actually is.”

2Four Letter Words
by Rob Seward
“…each capable of displaying all 26 letters of the alphabet with an arrangement of fluorescent lights.
The piece displays an algorithmically generated word sequence, derived from a word association database developed by the University of South Florida between 1976 and 1998. The algorithms take into account word meaning, rhyme, letter sequencing, and association.
The algorithm’s tendency towards scatological or “dark” subject matter is influenced by a variety of language and perception studies, especially Elliot McGinnies’ 1949 study “Emotionality and Perceptual Defense.”
While the piece was conceived with idea of displaying algorithmically generated lists, it was designed with flexibility and expandability in mind. The individual units can be connected ad-infinitum, and are theoretically capable of displaying any length of text. While Four Letter Words deals with a specific range of content, the technology can be easily expanded for future textual experiments.”

5TryRuby.org
Another all-in-the-browser coding 101 site, a bit like Codecademy, except for Ruby instead of Javascript. (There’s also RubyMonk). See many, many more learn-to-code sites at Life And Code’s Learn To Program Resource Guide.
