This paper examines if this perception is justifiable, and offers instructorsof all programming languages an insight into the issue of academic and industry balance, now and into the future. http://connect.educause.edu/display/36338#comments E-Learning Java Journal of Education Technology & Society Programming and Programming Languages Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Fri, 24 Jun 2005 10:53:16 -0500 drupal 36338 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/36140 he University of Calgary, which gained attention in 2003 when it began offering a course on writing viruses, has now introduced a course devoted to writing spyware and spam. Although the virus-writing course prompted strong criticism, response to the new offering has been warmer. Some members of the computer-security community noted that such a course could give students a strong understanding of how to combat malicious computer code in practice. "If we're looking for an engineer to [fight] spam, then we'd rather have somebody who has already been taught about these things and who knows how they work," said Steve Purdham, CEO of SurfControl. Mark Murtagh of Websense echoed those comments. He compared computer security to a game of chess, saying, "You need to be completely up to date on what's available to ensure you understand your opponent's potential next move." Pete Simpson, ThreatLab manager at Clearswift, disagreed, however, saying that such arguments "really [fall] flat for spamming tools." He said the course will tempt students to put their skills to harmful use. Students who do so risk failing grades and prosecution, according to the university. http://connect.educause.edu/display/36140#comments Programming and Programming Languages Spam Spyware or Adware Viruses and Worms Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Thu, 10 Feb 2005 13:52:17 -0600 drupal 36140 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/35536 The technology of the Information Age depends on programming languages for functionality. Because programming languages ultimately affect the production of language digitally, programming languages will inevitably demonstrate a lasting effect on the process of writing. Hence it is important to recognize the impact of programming languages on the production of language. It may well be the necessary first step in understanding technology's reverberating presence in the classroom. http://connect.educause.edu/display/35536#comments Programming and Programming Languages Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Fri, 27 Feb 2004 10:45:52 -0600 drupal 35536 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/35519 Conflict between software testers and developers is inevitable, but mindful managers minimize its effect on development projects through communication, mutual respect, even social interaction. http://connect.educause.edu/display/35519#comments ACM- Association for Computing Machinery Applications Development Programming and Programming Languages Usability Development Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Fri, 30 Jan 2004 15:24:29 -0600 drupal 35519 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/35041 The W3C released a working draft of XHTML 2.0 in August.

Released in early 1998, XML was seen as the standard to replace HTML. The presentation-only limitations of HTML were to be a thing of the past. Now, nearly four years later, why has the move to XML not happened, or at best, been extremely slow? Simply stated: because the authoring and content management tools have not been available. http://connect.educause.edu/display/34207#comments EContent Programming and Programming Languages XML Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Thu, 31 Jan 2002 14:37:20 -0600 drupal 34207 at http://connect.educause.edu
