It's the first year of a major new coding curriculum in the UK, and now the BBC wants to play its part in training the next generation of star programmers. Does it run Visual Studio 2013?

Heard an interview for Code For Progress[^] yesterday. I love what the interviewee said, something along the lines of "there's a whole population of people, elderly, LGBQT, minorities, that can contribute new ideas to software development." Lord in heaven. Software development is becoming a social rights issue.

Ugh. I've known more than a few LGBQT folk already contributing a lot of ideas to software development. Plus, I think there's more than a few "elderly", and "minorities" here already. I'm all for getting more folk to get coding, but that was really a silly statement from that person.

Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

He was pandering to the media in order to get greater "coverage" and personal publicity and cudos. What a maroon.

here I was thinking 'Marc's broadened my knowledge yet again' - then I looked it up - can I 'unlearn' now and be blissfully unaware/ignorant ?

This is the true meaning of "ignorance is bliss."

To empower you to do the things mentioned above, we now open source all our projects on GitHub. If only Microsoft had some web site where they could share code and do version control

Google Code is to join the long list of Google projects that have been consigned to the dustbin of history. You'll never guess where they're going. OK, you guessed.

Today, Startup Compass released the results of a global survey of engineers that provides a wealth of information about startup salaries – including the highest-paying programming languages. The list is defective. It doesn't include Forth.
Also, sorry about posting an infographic, but there is some interesting stuff in this collection o' pichurs.
Also, also: including AWS as a 'programming language' seems a little wrong, but see above but.

Wow, I've never been paid by a programming language before. Guess I'll update my CV
