Continuations

Last week on Tech Tuesday I ran the third reader survey to determine what to write about next. I offered up three possible topic areas that I had mentioned previously: lower level programming, theory of computer science and neural networks/machine learning. Because I thought that this seemed like a bit of a short list I also added “Technology in Startups.” And here are the results: For starters, adding the other category (for write-ins) really didn’t do anything as only 2 people bothered. Als...

So far Tech Tuesday has covered basic computing technology (9 installments), an overview of web technology (11 installments) and an introduction to programming (a whooping 29 installments). So once again it’s time to survey readers to see what folks would like to see covered next. Here are my ideas but you can also add your own in the survey below: Neural Networks and Machine Learning: This is a subject I am still learning a lot about, so the sequence would follow my own progress. I have post...

So far on Tech Tuesday we have covered basic computing technology (9 installments) and the web cycle (11 installments). That means its time to check in again and see what to cover next. There are at least three big topic areas that I want to get to eventually: Programming Overview: Includes what programming languages do and how they work, what an algorithm is, different ways of structuring code. My goal would be to combine historical context, with some theory and hands-on examples and provide...

Thanks for everyone who participated in the Tech Tuesday survey. I learned a lot. First off, not surprisingly, my audience overall is fairly tech savvy with 2/3rds knowing at least how to code up HTML and over ½ having done some programming. Second, I was happy to find that the level of difficulty was about right and that if anything I should maybe add some harder “bonus” material. Third, post length seems spot on with nearly 80% liking it as it is and roughly 10% each asking for shorter and ...
