Happy New Year (launching edu-sig 2021)
Two exhibits of possible interest: (1) Citizendium Wiki, not unlike Wikipedia in its goals, but with less anonymity, has a new article on Python, still a work in progress. Comments? They're (we're) looking for more articles with fresh up to date content, on aspects of the Python ecosystem. https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language) (2) Here's my latest idea of a contemporary Python class, done in evolving Jupyter Notebooks, a growing maze of pages to explore and talk about (no enumeration of lessons). https://github.com/4dsolutions/elite_school I use this material with real teenagers, once a week. I spend a lot of time talking about Unicode because I'm assuming these students need a lot of overview. Python is about opening doors to lots of topics. Kirby
(2) Here's my latest idea of a contemporary Python class, done in evolving Jupyter Notebooks, a growing maze of pages to explore and talk about (no enumeration of lessons).
Is there a graph of curriculum resources with URI names that are associated with concept URIs (e.g. Wikipedia/Dbpedia URLs) that we traverse in a more or less optimal graph path? A JSON-LD @id and the Schema.org/about RDFS Property should be sufficient to describe such relations, though a subproperty of schema.org/about could imply more about said relations; and RDFa could also be (implicitly) IPython.display.display'd from an object with a _repr_html_ method. What do you have, like next and previous links between Jupyter notebooks in your executable books/jupyter-book? Is there like zulip or mattermost chat? Hey remember that time I did that impromptu guest pull request that bolted on tests and exceptions and needed to refactor for testability? TDD. https://github.com/4dsolutions/python_camp/pull/4 On Fri, Jan 29, 2021, 21:26 kirby urner <kirby.urner@gmail.com> wrote:

Perhaps life skills - such as r/personal finance/wiki and https://cs007.blog/ - would be an interesting and motivating topic? Here's a simple model for generating a transactions.tsv (could be OFX XML, like some banks now support) to generate reports from: https://github.com/westurner/pypfi/blob/develop/pypfi/datagenerator.py There are apparently other life skills that can probably be Python'd, though: "Ask HN: What are good life skills for people to learn?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24605807 https://westurner.github.io/hnlog/#story-24605807 On Sat, Jan 30, 2021, 22:03 Wes Turner <wes.turner@gmail.com> wrote:

For those not familiar with Citizendium, it has some key differences from Wikipedia. As Kirby says, we don't have anonymous contributors. If fact, we encourage authors to add a byline and take full responsibility for their writing/editing. After a failed attempt at competing with Wikipedia in covering all of human knowledge, we have changed our focus to a few areas where we feel we have excellence. Kirby's article on Python is expected to be a cornerstone for an entire "ecosystem" around Python. https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Python David MacQuigg, PhD Editor, Computers Workgroup Citizendium.org
