   👍 Pros:    Pretty design|Price|Easy layout

   👎 Cons:    Unproffesional|Lack support by phone|No sign up cost

• A shortage of teachers for computer science classes in California

  The issue with Alice is that graphical, block based coding is not at all an ergonomic way to code. Sure, C++ probably isn't the best for an intro CS courses, either, but even just Python with some wrappers over SDL to draw sprites is not only a better teaching tool it's also forms a more useful springboard to build other projects. Graphical, block based coding seems to be a common attempt to make coding more... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Advice for my autistic son
