Author Ophir Frieder offers insights on his latest book, "Computer Science Programming Basics in Ruby"

"Computer Science Programming Basics in Ruby" is timely as many of the world's web sites and applications are built with a framework called Ruby on Rails. The core of that framework is a programming language called Ruby.
It turns out that Ruby is an exceptional language with which to teach introductory computer science topics. Hence, a rare combination of thing-that-is-useful, along with thing-that-is-good-to-teach has occurred.
Our book is the first to really treat Ruby as a solid introductory programming language with which to teach core computer science topics. Ruby's simplicity in demonstrating key concepts, coupled with its powerful nature, makes it an ideal instructional language for "the non-specialist", i.e., programming concepts for all.
People who finish the text and do the exercises will have reasonable competence with the Ruby programming language and can use it to write programs on their own. They will know the basics of computer science as well. The book isn't just tradecraft on how to write a program-- it teaches fundamental concepts found in every introductory computer science text.

Getting started with Cryptpad in Ubuntu: step by step

Cryptpad is an open source collaborative editor which is hosted at: https://github.com/cjdelisle/cryptpad It is easy to clone the github repository and start to try, but if you are a newbie, there maybe some difficulties. Suppose that you have a clean Ubuntu machine, and want to try with Cryptpad, you can follow these steps: 1. Download mongodb for Linux: https://www.mongodb.org/downloads 2. Unzip the file you got to a location you want. You will start mongodb from there, or add this directory to your PATH variable so you can start mongodb from anywhere. 3. Suppose that you chose the easier way, i.e start mongodb from its directory. 4. Open Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T for shortcut), move to the directory of mongodb 5. Type: mkdir db mongod --dbpath=./db These above commands will first, create a directory 'db' insider the directory mongodb, then start mongodb server. 6.

thơ 19 & 20

thơ 19 có một bài thơ thích nói chuyện sâu xa, ví như triết học. Nó than phiền về việc người ta cứ lẫn lộn hết cả giữa tôn giáo với ý nghĩ giả dối của mấy ông lãnh tụ (hồi xưa) & mấy ông lãnh chúa (bây giờ) và triết học. Nó than phiền về sự nhàm chán của chính trị đang làm loạn trong triết học, là thứ khoa học của mọi khoa học mà nó đang yêu mến nó (bài thơ) hay nhắc tới các các “trào lưu”, “chủ thuyết” hấp dẫn mơ hồ và xa tít tận đâu đâu... hình như là ở tận các nước Đức, Pháp... Nó phát âm và đọc tên các tác giả ấy rất rõ ràng, hình như cũng bằng tiếng Đức, tiếng Pháp... (vì người ta nghe ác ác eng eng nên đoán thế, chứ cũng không ai biết tiếng Đức hay tiếng Pháp). Người ta thấy nó như vậy nên cho nó đi nghiên cứu ở các nước Đức, Pháp... với hy vọng ngày về, nó (bài thơ) sẽ giảng triết học cho mà nghe. Chắc là hay lắm thời gian sau nó về (cũng hơi hơi lâu). Sáng hôm đó mọi người tập trung nghe nó giảng chuyện ở Đức thì nó kể về bia đen và xúc xích. Sau khi nghe xong c...
