   Great platform for testing across multiple devices

   Headspin has been an essential part of our testing process from the beginning. We've used it to test everything from mobile sites to native applications and we've found it to be invaluable for both developers and testers. We can run tests on any device from any location in the world, and the bug reporting feature makes it easy to track down and fix errors.

   👍 Pros:    Performance testing|Cross browser testing|Automation|Mobile app testing|Great customer support

   👎 Cons:    Expensive

   Great testing platform

   We use Headspin automation to run our functionality tests across multiple browsers and operating systems. We can identify UI misalignment specific to browsers or failures due to incompatibility with a particular browser. The good part is you can automate screenshots and get insights into where the UI of your website is going off. Then we can use the live feature to identify and debug the compatibility issue. We strongly believe customer experience is the key, and that could impede your product growth. With Headspin, we could see improvements in identifying errors before our customers do!

   👍 Pros:    Cross browser testing|Performance testing|Real device testing|Great customer support

   👎 Cons:    A bit expensive

   HeadSpin Cross Browser Testing tool is a must.

   We have been using HeadSpin for a while now, and we're pleased with their services.

   Their customer support is available 24x7 and they have helped us many times with any issues or questions we had. They are always up to date with the latest version of browsers, which is something we highly value.

   They have a wide selection of browsers and operating systems, which makes it easy for us to identify the issue on our website and solve it in no time.

   👍 Pros:    Cross browser testing|Automated testing|Performance testing

• A 15 pound computer to inspire young programmers (2011)

  [Disclaimer: I work at the BBC.] ...later on, the BBC made[0] the micro:bit[1], another £15 (well, around £15 back then for the V1) computer to inspire young programmers. Funny to think that little did the BBC know that they'd be creating their own cheap computer. [0]: Well, the BBC didn't _make_ it exactly — rather, the development and manufacturing was subcontracted to third-party companies (though some people... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• And DigTech teachers willing to share?

  Https://microbit.org/ are really good in my experience too, maybe a little bit dated now and they seem to have lost momentum, but they're super cheap and providing something physical that you can actually code is pretty exciting to a lot of kids. Source: 11 months ago

• google developed course on Rust

  Comprehensive Rust 🦀: Bare-Metal: a 1-day class on how to use Rust for bare-metal development. You will learn what no_std is and see how you can write firmware for microcontrollers (a micro:bit) and well as how to write drivers for a more powerful application processor (using Qemu).

• Sony backs Raspberry Pi with fresh funding, access to A.I. chips

  Kids in the UK (and elsewhere?) can access the Micro:bit computer[0], while not the same and powerful/extendable as R Pi - it is cheap, good and plenty available. It includes a LED display and motion sensor. Kids can program it using "block coding", or write Python code that runs with the help of MicroPython[1].

• Can you use a real computer to replace a Raspberry Pi?

  You might look at the BBC micro:bit board that was designed to teach programmaing for school-age students, and has a large tutorial system and hardware add-ons built around it. As with the Raspberry Pi, the board alone is out of stock in most places, but you can buy a mini "kit" for a few dollars more, for example at parallax in the usa for $20, in stock. When you see a jumble of parts for sale "for the pi" or... Source: over 1 year ago
