Python overtakes French as the most popular language taught in primary schools
…well that’s awkward…..
Six out of ten parents – and 75% of children – want primary schools to teach the Python coding language instead of French
Hello Microsoft, welcome to the Laptop race … Microsoft Surface Book
Microsoft just introduced its first-ever laptop on Tuesday, called Surface Book.
Weighing in at a little over three pounds, Surface Book is the fastest 13-inch laptop ever created, and it’s two times faster than Apple’s MacBook Pro, according to Microsoft.
We’ve tested the computer for a few minutes at Microsoft’s launch event, and it definitely feels like a strong competitor to Apple’s MacBook Pro.
It will be available October 26 starting at $1,499.

A great discussion on OS use in Computer Science education
What makes Windows a “bad” OS? Why does the computer science world force Linux on you?
I have worked on linux in school and I don’t hate it but I don’t see what it has that windows doesn’t (so far). The differences I do see on linux are manually done things, things that are automated on windows. Besides being free and no viruses(because I have avoided viruses my whole life through smart web searching/downloading) what are advantages over windows? *Also why can’t a computer scientist like me fix the problems windows does have*? I mean isn’t that the purpose of my degree? I’m sorry if I sound like a windows fanboy but I just want a totally performance/convenience based reasoning.
*I know windows is closed source but let’s just say I mean to join Microsoft and help fix it*
