Python People

(Updated 2022-11-16 with suggestions from comments below, Twitter and Mastodon)

An incomplete list of people in the Python community to follow on Twitter and Mastodon.

With the risk that Twitter dies, I'd be sad to lose links to interesting people in the community, hence this list.

I would love you to comment below with links to people I've missed.

El Zen de Python

============ Este post se encuentra publicado en https://pybaq.co/blog/el-zen-de-python-explicado/ ===========

Si alguna vez abren la consola de python y escriben import this verán que les aparecerán las líneas con el famoso Zen de Python:

1. Beautiful is better than ugly.
2. Explicit is better than implicit.

Let's move on to system.

System.

Feel that in your body.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Computing education research (CER) is the study of how people learn computing and the invention of better ways to teach computing. This FAQ will teach you more more about the field and how you might contribute to it.

What is computing education research?

First, CER is not teaching. Teaching is helping people acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs. Research is discovering truth and inventing solutions. Teachers teach computing, whereas computing education researchers discover what is true about the teaching and learning of computing, and invent new techniques for teaching and assessing it (some pedagogical, some computational).

It's also important to note that I construe "computing" broadly: it's not just about programming, or even just about computer science, but also about all of the phenomena surrounding computing (including privacy, security, information ethics, software engineering, etc.). This means that computing education and computing education research can and do cover far more t

things I don't know

I took this list from What CS majors should know.

I think it is fun to list things I don't know so I did it =D. I actually found it to be a cool exercise -- maybe I should do a fun graphics project and learn about Open GL!

i wrote this because, while i think the things on this list are potentially worth knowing, and I actually think it's an awesome list of project ideas as well as good food for thought for people developing CS curricula (many of the things I don't know are great exercises!) -- I thought it was really weird to say that every CS student should know all of them. I have a CS degree and I learned very few of the things I do know inside my degree.

I classify "do know" as anything that I have a reasonable grasp of or at least some basic experience with -- the kind of experience I'd expect a CS student to be able to get. If I say I don't know something, it means either I know pretty much nothing about it (for "gr
