Stanford University Tests Swapping Java for JavaScript within Computer Science
The Stanford University Computer Science program is testing out Javascript development to replace some of their Java-based projects. This transfer marks the first major change to their introductory CS curriculum since 2002. Stanford University and Codecademy reported: This new JS course is being piloted as an optional alternative to the older Java course, not a replacement. The two languages are very different.

Many people hope that this change will
Hour of Code Kicks Off with World Class Athletes
Hour of Code is officially underway in countries around the globe. This initiative helps younger people learn new skills in computer coding. The online platform provides one-hour tutorial designed for all ages in over 45 languages. Join millions of students and teachers in over 180 countries starting with an Hour of Code. In reality, it is difficult to get young people excited about computer programming overall. They want to exercise and burn energy. This creates a barrier for young people that need to learn computer science skills. Code.org and Khan Academy has started Hour of Code for people that
