Description
Coding and data have been hijacked by macho-nonsense culture (and the teaching of coding even more so). We noticed a unique opportunity to write a book comprised of a range of case studies and ideas which flip the table and flip the narrative.
Over the last 5 years we have built a community of coding and data educators who teach outside of traditional computer science settings. Our 300+ members around the world meet every year for a Winter School and co-author a book called Teaching Programming across Disciplines (https://teaching-programming.github.io/book/).
Our book is an edited, open-access volume comprised of many short chapters written by groups of authors who teach across various disciplines and in several educational contexts (e.g., boot camps, higher education both undergraduate and post-graduate levels, etc.). The first edition of our book was just launched on 22 June 2026.
The first edition of our book is comprised of over 25 chapters covering topics ranging from pair programming and its applications in teaching and learning, coding anxiety, practices to foster inclusion and accessibility in programming teaching, reflections on teaching statistics and programming together or separately, and more.
Our book is a live work in progress, if you would like to join our community and/or contribute to the second edition of the book get in touch with us at pairprogramming@ed.ac.uk or our website https://pairprogramming.ed.ac.uk
