In computing, a visual programming language ( VPL) is any programming language that lets users create programs by manipulating program elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually. A VPL allows programming with visual expressions, spatial arrangements of text and graphic symbols, used either as elements of syntax or secondary notation.

Introduction
Let’s face it, there are a a lot of different Arduino boards out there. How do you decide which one you need for your project? In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at the diverse world of Arduino boards. We’ll begin with a tabular overview of the features each board has. Then we’ll delve deeper into each board, examining the pros, cons, and example use-cases.
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Or more simply, you load on some code and it can read sensors, perform actions based on inputs from buttons, control motors, and accept shields to further expand it’s capabilities. Really, you can do almost anything.
All Arduino boards have one thing in common: they are programmed through the Arduino IDE. This is the software that allows you to write and upload code. Beyond that, there can be a lot of differences. The number of inputs and outputs (how many sensors, LEDs, and buttons you can use on a single board), speed, operating voltage, and form factor are just a few of the variables. Some boards are designed to be embedded and have no programming interface (hardware) which you would need to buy separately. Some can run directly from a 3.7V battery, others need at least 5V. Check the chart on the next page to find the right Arduino for your project.

Introducing 4D Systems' All New Workshop4 IDE Supports multiple development environments, to cater for different user requirements and skill level. Workshop4 is a comprehensive software IDE for Microsoft Windows that provides an integrated software development platform for all of the 4D family of processors and modules. The IDE combines the Editor, Compiler, Linker and Downloader to develop complete 4DGL application code. All user application code is developed within the Workshop4 IDE. Workshop4 includes four development environments, for the user to choose based on application requirements or even user skill level. Designer This environment enables the user to write 4DGL code in its natural form to program the display module. ViSi - Genie An advanced environment that doesn’t require any 4DGL coding at all, it is all done automatically for you. Simply lay the display out with the objects you want (similar to ViSi), set the events to drive them and the code is written for you automatically. ViSi -Genie provides the latest rapid development experience from 4D Systems. ViSi A visual programming experience that enables drag-and-drop type placement of objects to assist with 4DGL code generation and allows the user to visualise how the display will look while being developed. Serial This environment is also provided to transform the display module into a slave serial display module, allowing the user to control the display from any host microcontroller or device with a serial port.

Today, at Embedded Linux Conference 2018, Arduino announced the expansion of the number of architectures supported by its Arduino Create platform for the development of IoT applications. With this new release, Arduino Create users can manage and program a wide range of popular Linux® single-board computers like the AAEON® UP² board, Raspberry Pi® and BeagleBone® as if they were regular Arduino boards. Multiple Arduino programs can run simultaneously on a Linux-based board and interact and communicate with each other, leveraging the capabilities provided by the new Arduino Connector. Moreover, IoT devices can be managed and updated remotely, independently from where they are located.
To further simplify the user journey, Arduino has also developed a novel out-of-the-box experience for Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone boards, in addition to Intel® SBCs, which enables anyone to set up a new device from scratch via the cloud without any previous knowledge by following an intuitive web-based wizard. Arduino plans to continue enriching and expanding the set of features of Arduino Create in the coming months.

image2cpp is a simple tool to change images into byte arrays to use with (monochrome) displays suchs as OLEDs, like those from Adafruit or Sparkfun. While searching for a way to generate these arrays, I mostly found links to a piece of Windows software. Both the flakey results and the hassle of having to boot a virtual machine just to convert an image lead to me writing this pure html + javascript solution. Alternatively you can also enter a byte array as input to turn it back into an image. This might be useful for debugging, or when you want to write the byte array yourself. I don't know. Running the toolYou don't need any special dependencies / internet connection; all the necessary parts sit in a single .html file. So just open this index.html page in a (recent) browser to run the tool. Or you can use the online version at: http://javl.github.io/image2cpp/ Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-learning-and-teaching/?&tag=ARDUINO BTW: Above shown image is my "MAUSI", which was the "Mascot" for my Cyber-Security courses in Luxembourg EDUcation in 2003-2007.

Increase blog engagement in 5 easy steps
Blog engagement is important for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it allows you to reach your target audience and have considerable influence over them. Secondly, it enhances your SEO standing and enables you to prove to the search engines that your content is valuable and worthy of prime real estate in the search results.
“Google notices whenever blog visitors leave comments and posts as well as when they post a response,” SEO Service Agents explains. “For the search engines, they will see that your blog is active and very much alive. Not to mention the fact that your rankings in the SERP’s will benefit from mentions of your content on social media platforms. The end result is that all of this will generate more visitor traffic. And that is exactly what you are looking for.”
But what exactly is the goal? In other words, what does it look like for a blog to have high levels of engagement? From a big-picture perspective, you want blog visitors to read and engage with your posts, comment and share on social media, and return to your blog regularly to check for new content.
The big question is, how? How do you get readers to do these things on a steady and ongoing basis? While there are numerous strategies you can use to get the desired results, here are a few keys that leading brands have discovered over the years.

You don’t need to make excuses. There are lots of legitimate reasons why you haven’t prioritized your blog. Maybe you are a one-person marketing team and need to focus your attention on paid promotion and social media. Perhaps you come from an industry that is traditionally offline and your company has only recently started building a digital presence. Maybe you used to have a blog, but due to other pressing concerns, it has remained stagnant for months or even years.
Whatever your excuse, it’s not too late to get a blog up and running before the new year. And it’s easier than you think! Maintaining a content hub on your website is essential for building organic traffic and generating inbound leads. A good blog helps google find you, provides material for you to share on social media, and demonstrates your industry expertise and brand credibility. Here are 5 simple tips to help you activate an older blog, or start blogging from scratch...

The 2018 Game Developer's Conference will feature an exhibition called Alt.Ctrl.GDC dedicated to games that use alternative control schemes and interactions. Gamasutra will be talking to the developers of each of the games that have been selected for the showcase. You can find all of the interviews here.
Mark Wars will have players drawing lines with markers in order to guide their ever-moving robot to a goal before their opponent can. However, as they take turns drawing lines, there is nothing stopping them from drawing a line that will mislead their opponent's robot, creating a constant sabotage between players as well.

Die Arbeitswelt der Zukunft bedingt einen höheren Stellenwert der beruflichen Weiterbildung, so der Präsident des Bundesinstituts für Berufsbildung (BIBB), Friedrich Hubert Esser. "In einer Arbeitswelt von morgen mit steigenden Datenmengen, kürzer werdenden Halbwertszeiten von Wissen sowie einer erhöhten Flexibilität am Arbeitsplatz ist berufliche Weiterbildung schon lange nicht mehr Kür, sondern Pflicht", betont Esser in der aktuellen Ausgabe der BIBB-Fachzeitschrift "Berufsbildung in Wissenschaft und Praxis - BWP" mit dem Schwerpunktthema "Weiterbildung".
Der digitale Transformationsprozess, der Einsatz von Robotern sowie der wachsende Einfluss künstlicher Intelligenz sorge für bislang nicht gekannte strukturelle Verschiebungen in Arbeits- und Produktionsprozessen. Arbeiten und Lernen werden sich von Grund auf ändern. "Der Umgang mit leistungsstarken IT-Infrastrukturen sowie das Arbeiten und Lernen in Virtual- und Augmented-Reality-Umgebungen oder mithilfe von Erklärvideos und Tutorials sind längst keine Zukunftsmusik mehr", so der BIBB-Präsident weiter.
