In the GenAI era, program comprehension is not just another skill in the toolbox; it is the toolbox itself. It enables learners to move beyond passive acceptance of AI outputs, guiding them to ...

Researchers have demonstrated that, for a few specific tasks, it's possible to write computer programs using ordinary language rather than special-purpose programming languages. The work may be of ...

Leo Porter receives funding from the National Science Foundation and receives compensation for sales of the book "Learn AI-Assisted Python Programming." Daniel Zingaro receives funding from the ...

Introduction to programming practice using Python. Analysis and formulation of problems for computer solution. Systematic design, construction, and testing of programs. Substantial programming ...

We’re seeing a wave of new generative AI tools that can write text, generate images, create music and more. Some can even write computer code, which makes sense when you think that computer code is ...

Most people know how to use computers, but far fewer know how they work and even fewer are capable of writing the coded instructions that form the basis of every program, website and application.

Leslie Lamport revolutionized how computers talk to each other. Now he’s working on how engineers talk to their machines. Leslie Lamport may not be a household name, but he’s behind a few of them for ...

If you have ever looked at C as a programming language then you have probably seen or read, like I did, “The C Programming Language” by Brian Kernighan (Fig. 1) and Dennis Ritchie. It probably did ...

President Barack Obama told the world that everyone should learn how to code. And now he's putting his money where his mouth is. Earlier today, to help kick-off the annual Computer Science Education ...

Writing code is a terrible way for humans to instruct computers. Lucky for us, new technology is about to render programming languages about as useful as Latin. The headlong global frenzy to teach ...

There are two places where punctuation can be earth-shattering: in poetry and in code. When I mention that I majored in English and minored in Computer Science, people are either surprised or relieved ...
