You can support Spiffworld by checking out the
fantastic leveling guide at www.glutonysguide.com.
This guy broke the record for speed-leveling to
70, and his guide can teach you to do it too.
This is a music video about the life of the common
lowlands code monkey.
Jonathan Coulton is a singer/songwriter who
releases his songs via the Creative Commons
license, which enables projects such as this
video. Through his "Thing A Week" podcast,
Jonathan has put out a clever, creative song like
this one every week for a year.
Mike Spiff Booth is a Program Manager at Adobe who
though this great song really deserved a video.
Before you ask, since apes, goblins, and night elf
receptionists don't tend to interact much in the
wild, I couldn't only use captured game footage to
make this video. Every frame of this video was
composited together by hand using images captured
from the WoW Model Viewer, WoW Map Viewer, and the
World of Warcraft game itself.
No monkeys were harmed in the making of this film.
Please visit www.spiffworld.com for more
information about my videos, including info about
how I make them.
The song at the end of the video is "Big Bad World
One", another great Jonathan Coulton song.

I wish to warmly thank everyone who helped"

This AMV features the song Code Monkey by Jonathan
Coulton, using footage from the anime Black
Heaven.
It was a finalist at Anime Expo 2007 AMV Contest.
At Animazement 2007 it won Best in Show.
I've heard it did well at Dragoncon 2007
A lot of people ask where the song is available,
you can buy it at Jonathan Coulton's website for
0.99 or from itunes for the same price. Its
released under the Creative Commons license, which
grants use for projects like this. Thanks
Jonathan!
Others have asked about the anime, Legend of Black
Heaven. This anime is about a man who was in a
rock band in his younger days, but they broke up
as the members grew up and got married. Years
later, in a dead end job and dull marriage, he's
approached by aliens who want him to play his
music to save them...

ABSTRACT
Learning to code has become both more important
and more complicated
in the last decade. We need to make it attractive
and easy again.
Most western countries currently experience a
shortage of skilled
computing professionals in the employment market.
We have seen a
similar problem in the 1990s, but this time the
situation is
different: While the problem in the 90s was
university capacity (we
just couldn't educate enough people quickly
enough), this time around
it is enrolment: Universities have the capacity,
but not enough
students sign up to study technical, computing
related subjects, such
as computer science or software engineering.
The real problem lies before university: at school
age, students
decide against computing as a subject, because it
is perceived as
geeky, tedious, intellectually not challenging,
and most of all
boring. At the same time, programming in schools
is on a sharp decline.
We need to counter this trend by bringing
programming back into
schools, and make it an engaging, challenging,
relevant and enjoyable
activity. To be successful, the public sector,
academia and business
should work together to make this happen.
At the University of Kent, we have developed two
successful
development environments, named BlueJ and
Greenfoot, and educational
material to address these challenges. In this
presentation, we will
discuss both, with the main focus on Greenfoot, a
system for beginners
to learn Java programming through development of
interactive graphical
applications.
Greenfoot and its associated materials can be used
to teach
programming in schools, computer clubs, or to your
own children. Kids
develop computer games, and -- almost as an aside
-- learn object-
oriented programming in Java.
In this talk, I will present the software,
strategies for learning of
programming, and the benefits and drawback of Java
as a first language.
Speaker: Michael Kölling, Computing Laboratory,
University
Michael Kölling is the lead designer of the BlueJ
and Greenfoot programming environments. Both
environments are designed for beginners to learn
the basics of Java, and are widely used by schools
and universities all over the world. Michael is
also the founder of the Sun Center of Excellence
in Object-Oriented Education at the University of
Kent. He works as a Senior Lecturer in the
Computing Laboratory at the University of Kent,
where he teaches Java to undergraduate and
postgraduate students, and is co-author of a
successful Java textbook, "Objects First With
Java."
