Hong Kong Association For Computer Education (HKACE)’s Post

We're excited to announce some highly-anticipated new features on CodeEasy that are all about enhancing your learning experience! Since we’ve launched our free pilot run campaign for the Computer Science teachers to get familiar with our platform, we’ve gathered a lot of useful and meaningful feedback on how to make it more teacher- and student-friendly. One of the most requested upgrades, that has been mentioned by the programming instructors, was a new lessons’ design. So we’ve listened to the teachers’ voices, and now, students can enjoy "full screen learning" for a more immersive coding session. Plus, students have the flexibility to go full screen on their code or split the screen to read theory and code simultaneously, catering to their personal learning style. These updates are designed with teachers' and students' preferences in mind, making the coding journey smoother and more efficient. Stay tuned for even more exciting features coming your way! #CodeEasy #Coding #NewFeatures #LearningExperience

Dynamic Programming is often seen as a challenging topic, but with the right approach, it’s much more manageable than it seems. I believe many people struggle with it simply because they aren't introduced to the right learning methods. In this post, I’ve broken down the concept into an easy-to-understand format. For in-depth video lectures, feel free to check out my YouTube channel, and if you're interested in exploring more topics, you can find a variety of courses on our learning platform (link in the comments). Happy learning! #dsa #cp #coding #competitiveprogramming

Programming is an Art. It's very similar to music in several different senses. Firstly, you learn the individual chords and notes that make up a stream. Similarly, in Programming, you learn the individual symbols and characters that make up the basic instructions of a language. Then you learn smaller set of instructions and how they sit in the larger scheme of things. In music, you learn to create individual samples and then place them in order to create a melodious symphony of sounds. There are many similar steps between the two forms of Art. To understand Programming as an art and then a science, you need to love the chance to relearn it whenever opportunity presents itself. Science can often put us into fixed modes of thinking that a creative mind (with a sufficient supply of Mindfulness) can completely untangle. It's never too late or you're never too senior to understand a concept again. Documentation is the key to catalysing the process of learning, unlearning and relearning Programming, as an Art. #Programming #Hacking #Art #Science #Mindfulness

🌟 Achievement Unlocked! 🌟I am thrilled to share that I have successfully completed the "Introduction to Programming from Scratch" course from Harward University! 🎉This journey has been incredibly rewarding as it helped me lay a strong foundation in programming, sharpen problem-solving skills, and fuel my passion for technology.I’m excited to continue exploring new technologies, developing projects, and building impactful solutions.A big thank you to Hardward University for offering such a comprehensive course!#Programming #LearningJourney #HardwardUniversity #SkillDevelopment #CodingJourney

[Seoul National University Personal Statement and 12 Years Later] Reflecting on the past, I found the personal statement I had written when applying to the Undeclared Major program at Seoul National University. At that time, I was deeply fascinated by the concept of OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) and created the concept of "Object-Oriented Management." 12 years later, I realize that I have achieved quite a lot of what I aimed for. Being at Seoul Science High School and seeing really outstanding friends made me feel my limits, and instead of becoming the best in each field, I have dreamed of coordinating them to produce results. And for high-level coordination, I thought it was necessary to have the knowledge to understand what they are saying. "My dream is to standardize the knowledge that humanity has accumulated over thousands of years into classes, and to establish the concept of object-oriented management, which understands experts in various fields as objects. This will show the possibility of easily finding and learning the vast knowledge humanity possesses for specific goals, and freely combining it for use. I want to become a CEO and actually apply the concept of object-oriented management to create something new that benefits humanity and design the optimal solution for the given problem." "For this purpose, through the 'Student-Designed Major' and dual major systems, I wanted to study integrating knowledge from IT, which I am most interested in, with mathematics, science, engineering, philosophy, and humanities, and to broaden my perspective by mingling with people from different majors. That’s why I applied to the Undeclared Major program." Originally, I planned to just compile introductory courses from all majors to easily graduate with a broad but shallow understanding, but I couldn't even bear that and left after just one year. However, I feel grateful to those at Seoul National University’s Undeclared Major program who viewed such a personal statement favorably and selected me. I realize that I have always loved creating new concepts by combining entirely different fields, such as "object-oriented management," since I was young. Even recently, I find great joy in helping execute ideas that combine two completely unrelated fields.
