Le Coding Goûter est un rendez-vous mensuel où des enfants et leurs parents s’emparent de différents outils de programmations, des jeux et puzzles algorithmiques, des environnements de développements, des langages. Et comme c’est un goûter, on y mange  des gâteaux et des bonbons tout au long de l’après-midi !

Quelques semaines avant le premier Coding Goûter, j’ai lancé une petite enquête sur “Enfants et programmation”. Par exemple, à quel âges les parents pensent-ils que leurs enfants peuvent apprendre à programmer ? Et quel serait les motivations des parents ?

MetaFragments gives to web tools, mobile apps, browser and search engines a simple way to explore, connect and share the inside content of web videos.
 

 
Even when liberated from Flash, web videos are data dead-ends. Meta-data for video or audio is mostly non-existent in exposed, usable form.
 
When it exists, it’s segregated in various silos: external files in non-browser friendly formats, APIs, JavaScript code…
 

You know the saying: teach people how to fish… instead of giving them a fish. Because of the web, because of the iPad, and because of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, newsrooms have a cruel choice to make.    They can hope that someone else will built tools and formats for the digital age, and that the tools and formats will be simple enough for anyone (including a classically trained journalist) to use and apply in their newsroom. Or they can learn to fish, and try to turn the newsroom into a full speed tech company.  

A great list of *good* resources for learning programming. The selection of books on Javascript is the free classics.

And of course jsFiddle is a rich web sandbox for Javascript, HTML, CSS – with jQuery and more

The blind model is a photo session in which the model can only see what the camera sees.

After my first t-shirts series, here is another one that I am prototyping. This series play with the lexicon from gender studies and queer political movements. They created new words to identify old and new behaviors that weren’t named. I used this lexicon, making labels that would at first be perceived as oxymorons, social impossibility - or at least revealing something very odd about the wearer.

There is not that much of life debuggers yet, just over fifty, but a couple of people already told me that the interface is oppressive, confusing. And that I don’t give enough information on the home page for people to understand the project, before they sign-in. It’s true, and I don’t want to avoid that!

Last year I worked on the development of a DVD Game title, in a small multimedia studio of around a dozen people.
One of the most fascinating tool that we used was a bug tracker. A bug tracking system is a resolution oriented project manager, with a very strong emphasis on ultra-communication through a web and e-mail based interface. Every single problem in the project is supposed to be filed, commented, revised, fixed, then closed.

I started to think about making T-shirt series some years ago. I had an intense rebound on that last year, with a lot of potential motifs and sketches. But I wasn’t sure about the way to print them. It was supposed to be limited editions, or better said, each T-shirt would be a one-off. Standard transfers do not look good enough. Silkscreening is not a light enough process to experiment. So… It was all postponed.
