About This Manifesto

Have you ever argued for or against teaching language X as the first language in a university computer science curriculum? If so, I hope that your arguments:

were first and foremost about students, considering the question “What do we want students to gain from their experience with a first language?”, not “Is language X better than language Y?” because the latter question requires too much context and isn’t really answerable;
kept in mind that ultimately we want to train polyglots, so the first language is never the only language; and
took into account previous work from computing educators, and education theorists and practitioners in general.

Simple automated GIT Deployment using GIT Hooks

Here are the simple steps needed to create a deployment from your local GIT repository to a server based on this in-depth tutorial.

How it works

You are developing in a working-copy on your local machine, lets say on the master branch. Most of the time, people would push code to a remote server like github.com or gitlab.com and pull or export it to a production server. Or you use a service like deepl.io to act upon a Web-Hook that's triggered that service.

For background and further references see: Entity Component Systems on Wikipedia

ECS by Scott Bilas (GDC 2002)

Entity->Components->Update

entity = class: no logic + no data OR at most small set of frequently used data (ie position)
component = class: logic + data

foreach entity in allEntities do
    foreach component in entity.components do

Overview

This collection of files serves as a simple static demonstration of how to post to a google spreadsheet from an external html <form> following the example by Martin Hawksey

Depreciation Warning: This code is not maintained, and should be seen as reference implementation only. If you're looking to add features or update, fork the code and update as needed.

Run example

You should be able to just open index.html in your browser and test locally.

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have moved this over to the Tech Interview Cheat Sheet Repo and has been expanded and even has code challenges you can run and practice against!
