Programmed for Disaster

Science fiction for younger readers.

Programmed Inequality: How Britain Discarded Women Technologists and Lost Its Edge in Computing

In 1944, Britain led the world in electronic computing. By 1974, the British computer industry was all but extinct. What happened in the intervening thirty years holds lessons for all postindustrial superpowers. As Britain struggled to use technology to retain its global power, the nation's inability to manage its technical labor force hobbled its transition into the information age. In Programmed Inequality, Marie Hicks explores the story of labor feminization and gendered technocracy that undercut British efforts to computerize. That failure sprang from the government's systematic neglect of its largest trained technical workforce simply because they were women. Women were a hidden engine of growth in high technology from World War II to the 1960s. As computing experienced a gender flip, becoming male-identified in the 1960s and 1970s, labor problems grew into structural ones and gender discrimination caused the nation's largest computer user -- the civil service and sprawling public sector -- to make decisions that were disastrous for the British computer industry and the nation as a whole.Drawing on recently opened government files, personal interviews, and the archives of major British computer companies, Programmed Inequality takes aim at the fiction of technological meritocracy. Hicks explains why, even today, possessing technical skill is not enough to ensure that women will rise to the top in science and technology fields. Programmed Inequality shows how the disappearance of women from the field had grave macroeconomic consequences for Britain, and why the United States risks repeating those errors in the twenty-first century.

Programmed Learning in Perspective: A Guide to Program Writing

The method of programming outlined in this book represents a major contribution to the growing body of literature in programmed learning. It is the first book in the field to present a carefully designed, complete and integrated system for analyzing, organizing and structuring learning materials in programmed form.Application of the system is illustrated through the step-by-step construction of two short programs. Starting with the analysis of the syllabus and course content, the authors take the reader through each phase of the programming process gathering and organizing the content material, construction of the program matrix and flow diagram and finally, the writing of frames.Every teacher and trainer can benefit from the application of this method to lesson plan preparation and to classroom teaching techniques. Such a method is essential, for all those who are writing programmed materials. In a new computer age classroom environment, programmed learning can be especially beneficial.C. A. Thomas, I. K. Davies, D. Openshaw, and J. B. Bird are instructors or directors at the British Royal Air Force School of Education. They are pioneers in the application of programmed learning in Britain and are highly regarded as forward looking and creative educational research workers. Their accomplishments include, in addition to this ingenious book, the design and development of the Empirical Tutor, one of Britain's major teaching machines, and the publication of a number of technical papers in the field of programmed learning.Lawrence M. Stolurow is professor emeritus of psychological & quantitative foundations at the University of Iowa.

Programmierung in Python: Ein Kompakter Einstieg Für Die Praxis

Wer heute das Programmieren lernen möchte, kommt nicht daran vorbei, sich mit einer der beliebtesten Programmiersprachen für Einsteiger und Profis zu befassen: Python. Mit Python hat ihr Erfinder, Guido van Rossum, einen Nerv der Zeit getroffen, denn das Konzept dahinter bietet viele Ansätze, Lösungen und Vorgehensweise für Probleme, die andere Sprachen so nicht integrieren. Das Potential dieser einfachen und übersichtlichen Programmiersprache haben auch viele Universitäten erkannt, die mittlerweile in den Anfängerkursen der Informatik-bezogenen Studiengänge Python statt Java als Einsteigersprache lehren. Der klare Programmierstil legt darüber hinaus eine hervorragende Grundlage für das spätere Erlernen weiterer Sprachen. Denn Python unterstützt nicht nur die objektorientierte und aspektorientierte, sondern auch die strukturierte und funktionale Programmierung. So wird der Programmierer nicht zu einem einzigen Programmierstil gezwungen, sondern kann flexibel das am besten geeignete Paradigma für die jeweilige Aufgabe wählen. Der universelle Zugang, der es möglich macht, die Erfahrungen aus anderen Programmierkonzepten mehr oder weniger direkt weiter zu nutzen, ist ein weiterer Grund für den Erfolg von Python. Dieses Buch ist ein idealer Einstieg in die Programmierung mit Python. Ausführlich erläutert der Autor die elementaren Grundlagen, die nötig sind, um mit dieser Sprache Programme zu erstellen und zu pflegen. Daneben zeigt er, wie sich die OOP mit Python realisieren lässt und wie man Module und API-Schnittstellen integriert. Diverse weiterführende Themen wie die Erstellung grafischer Oberflächen oder der Zugriff auf Dateien und Datenbanken runden das Fachbuch ab. Einfache Beispiele veranschaulichen die grundsätzliche Anwendung der verschiedenen Techniken und machen das Buch dadurch zu einer unbedingten Empfehlung für Einsteiger und Praktiker, die die Programmierung mit Python lernen wollen.

Programmierung mit PASCAL: Eine Einführung für Programmieranfänger

Die Darstellung gibt eine Einführung in Pascal, die auch für Anfänger ohne Informatikkenntnisse verständlich ist. Ausgegangen wird von der Notwendigkeit, dass es nicht ausreicht, lediglich den mit dem Programmieren verbundenen Formalisierungsprozess zu erklären. Schwerpunkt des Buches ist vielmehr eine genaue Formulierung und weitgehend programmiersprachenunabhängige algorithmische Lösung von Problemen. Auf diesem Wege werden die Grundsätze des Schreibens guter Pascal-Programme illustriert.

Programming 101: The How and Why of Programming Revealed Using the Processing Programming Language

Understand the importance of programming, even if you’ve never programmed before! This book will teach you the basics of programming using the Processing programming language. You will create your own Processing sketches, using personal images, themes, or hobbies that you enjoy. The chapters in the book will demonstrate the process of programming, starting with formulating an idea, planning, building on past projects, and refining the work, similar to writing an essay or composing a song. This approach will guide you to make use of logic and mathematics to produce beautiful effects.The term for program in Processing is sketch, though the sketches featured in this book are far more than static drawings; they incorporate interaction, animation, video, audio, and accessing files on the local computer and on the Web. Technical features are introduced and explained in the context of complete examples: games (Snake, Hangman, jigsaw, slingshot), making a collage of family images and video clips, preparing directions for folding an origami model, rotating objects in 3D, and others.Programming is a fun, creative, expressive pursuit. It requires attention to details and can be frustrating, but there is very little that compares to the satisfaction of building a program out of nothing and making it work (or taking an existing program and fixing a problem, or adding a feature and making it better). Programming 101 is your gateway to making this happen. What You Will Learn Gain basic programming skillsBuild fun and creative programsUse files for making a holiday cardCombine videos, images, and graphics in a Processing sketch Who This Book Is For Anyone who has been thinking about trying programming, or has tried, but needs more motivation; anyone who wants to learn about the Processing language.
