Sites of Interest To Me:

• Wolfram Language. Stephen Wolfram has placed advanced programming at the fingertips of anyone on the web. I am just beginning to learn how to program in it. This programming language is the result of 30 years of effort in developing it. I am blown away by the elegance,simplicity, and capability of the language. I think it is a technology game changer that will rival Tim Berners-Lee's contribution to the World Wide Web. Wolfram Language should immediately be taught and used in high schools, if not elementary schools, and taught to students of any age, or self-learned from Wolfram's book: An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language. To anyone with a technological future, you must learn Wolfram Language or be left behind. And remember, it is free, it is simple, it is powerful, and it is deployed in the Cloud for anyone and everyone around the world to learn. Mastering it will be a skill that benefits future employment in technological jobs. Your competitors are not only in schools, they only have to be on the Internet.
