Spark 159 — October 23 & 26, 2011
This week on Spark: There’s been a sharp decline in the number of young people going into the field of Computer Science lately. We try to find out why so-called digital natives lack interest in how our digital world works, and why learning to program should be basic literacy for us all.
On this episode of Spark: Programmers, Hybrids, and Cyborgs – oh my!

by Fabien Potencier
Slides available at http://www.phpconference.co.uk/2010/talks
From Zend Framework to Symfony, all the major frameworks are moving to PHP 5.3 for their next major version. To be ready for this big move, all PHP developers need to learn more about the new PHP 5.3 features and how to use them in practice. This session will not be yet another big list of all the great features of PHP 5.3. Instead, I will show you how to solve real problems more simply and more elegantly with PHP 5.3.

The New Hacker Generation
Back in the days of yore, those of us of a certain (golden) age started our lives in computers with an ancient beige box which typically came pre-installed with BASIC. The old-school programming orientated environment gave many of us our first taste of programming, logic and an interest in our binary guzzling circuit-laden friends. Jono Bacon and Stuart ‘Aq’ Langridge explore this golden age of computing and how it arguably produced a generation of hackers and whether we should and could try and do the same with modern computers.
