We recently finished the second iteration of our Creative Coding course @UChicagoCS, teaching the basics of JavaScript with @p5xjs. Indulge me in a recap.

I don't often use slides or chalkboard in class, but I'm going to try this way of combining both

I opened a Jupyter notebook for the first time. It is March 2024 (AD).

@RanjitJhala @lorisdanto @vj_chidambaram Though the content of the reviews are often the same :-)

I wonder what HotCRP does when the DOM inspector is used to add and select new topic areas.

Early stage researcher interested in the future of end-user programming with data? MSR Cambridge is a great gig. Excel now has Python formulas. You can hack on Excel Labs, built here, to research new LLM-powered user interfaces. Consider a postdoc role: https://t.co/6C7wOobbuU

@brianhempel Revise and resubmit. Next version will be better.

[Ravi Chugh @ravi_chugh]

I get to pursue research on interactive user interfaces for programming, teach functional programming in Haskell, and help advance the educational mission of @UChicagoCS as director of undergraduate studies. How does one get so damn lucky?

[Ravi Chugh @ravi_chugh]

@brianhempel And for bonus points, “drop the user study” in a POPL conditional accept and “drop the proof” from UIST.

[Ravi Chugh @ravi_chugh]

@brianhempel Along the way, collect a “needs a user study” review from POPL and “needs formal proof” from UIST.
