JSON ... it's the intersection of all modern programming languages. All languages have some sense of data, and structures of data. They all have simple values like number strings, and booleans. They all have some sense of a sequence of values. ... Every language has some sense of a collection of named values; it might be an object, or a record, or a struct, or a hash, or a property list, or something. All languages have these, these are universal ideas.

... But they all have the same idea about what the data looks like, and JSON has the thing that's common to everything. By being at the intersection, it turns out to be the thing that everybody can agree on, so it's really easy to pass data back and forth.

Prior data interchange formats tended to try to be the union of all the languages, and that turns out to be horrendously complex, and very difficult to deal with. JSON, by being so simple, actually became really easy to use.

Young@Heart is not your ordinary singing chorus, because they sing rock, punk, disco, and the average age is 81 with the oldest being 92 year old Eileen Hall. The documentary follows the group over a six-week rigorous rehearsal schedule, plus practicing at home for an upcoming sold-out concert in their home town. The group has many songs in their repertoire, but Bob Cilman, the stern but sympathetic chorus director, has added several songs for the new concert. These are not easy for the group to learn such as "Yes We Can", "Schizophrenia" and "I Got You or (I Feel Good)". After several weeks of practice, the group is on their way to the local jail to give a performance,

Firstly, define all the necessary information for a given module ID in _modules variable, e.g.,

...
m301:{l:"m301.html", t:"Module Definition"},
m302:{l:"m302.html", t:"Layout Definition"},
m303:{l:"m303.html", t:"Column Width Definition", c:"green"},
...
Wherein:
  • m301 - the module ID
  • l - short for link, defines the url of this module
  • t - short for title, defines the title of the module when loaded
  • c - short for color, defines the color theme of the module, now "red", "orange", "green", "yellow", "white" are supported with blue as default.

Introducing Bitlash

Bitlash is an open source interpreted language shell for the Arduino serial port. It runs on the Arduino and interprets commands that you type in a terminal window or send programmatically:

bitlash v0.95a here! ... > print "hello, world", analogRead(3) hello, world 552

Bitlash is a development and prototyping tool for those situations where you need to bang some bits on the Arduino but writing a sketch in C is premature. The Bitlash command language is very similar to Arduino C and includes a large repertiore of the familiar Arduino C functions so you can hack your hardware from the serial command line or even over the internet via telnet.

Examples
Here are some PDF output examples that give an idea of what can be done with dblatex and dbcontext.
Dblatex

    * Some examples of the features supported by dblatex:
          o DocBook Examples
          o MathML Examples
          o Sources of the Examples
          o Sources + PDF Examples
    * The dblatex User Manual is a good example of a default DocBook book output rendering.
    * The User Manual in DB2LaTeX style shows the DB2LaTeX style applied to the same document.
    * The User Manual in Simple style shows a quite basic latex layout applied to the same document.
    * A W3C MathML Test Suite 2.0 Excerpt (bzipped) demonstrates the large MathML 2.0 support included by dblatex.
    * The DocBook Definitive Guide (gzipped) compiled with dblatex and the tdg-dblatex.xsl stylesheet.

Dbcontext

    * The dblatex User Manual done by dbcontext can show how dbcontext handles the same manual.

  • Brian Berry is the guy.
  • At about minute 40 minutes in there's a worthwhile observation about running grass roots organizations. Brian says he's talked to other people running grass roots organizations and they all agree that the biggest problem is finding committed people to work on them. Lots of people want to come and talk to you but that's not what you need.
  • Brian sees the future of learning activities as Javascript and HTML 5.
  • He would like to see a JS/HTML 5 learning activity framework
  • He had not heard of the Lively Kernel
  • Nepal's education system, partly as a result of limited resources, is based on rote and passing exams
  • As a result, the learning activities must be based on the curriculum.

Compare to http://routeabout.blogspot.com/2008/07/fwd-george-lakoff-co-foundersr-fellow.html "discusses what the seemingly disjoint topics neuroscience and sociology have in common, and why he feels that they are important. He talks about why some people succeed, and why some people don't. He also explores the connection between a high I.Q. score and the love and emotional care a person receives from his or her family. We get to hear about what roles the conscious and sub-conscious mind play in decision making; how different factors affect how we live our lives; and how we unconsciously seek out familiar things in our environment. Brooks talks about the permeability of the human brain; how emotions gives us the ability to remember and learn; our ability to copy behavior from our peers; and the shaping of thought processes. He also gives us his view on the emergence of human capital as a global currency, and why this is more important than the rise of developing countries.

"Kathy Sierra is the author of Creating Passionate Users, and has been interested in the brain and artificial intelligence since her days as a game developer (Virgin, Amblin', MGM). She is the co-creator of the bestselling brain-friendly Head First series (winner of the Jolt Software Development award in 2004). She is also the founder of one of the largest programmer community web sites, javaranch.com. Much of the theory and practice behind "passionate users" began when she developed and taught the first Interaction Design and New Media courses at UCLA Extension's Entertainment Studies Department, and at the IBM New Media Center at Universal Studios Citywalk. A former master trainer for Sun Microsystems, she has spent the last few years helping others learn to apply brain-friendly techniques to inspire and maintain passionate users.
