| scratch maze starter: 教育的蛻變：卦爻符號（Code）在程式設計（Coding）上的運用 創易客, 2017-08-31 ?教育不是翻轉；是生活中自然的成長蛻變！ 因為科丁(coding)，不只小孩，連大人都自己樂意學習困難的新東西！ 《教育的蛻變》是有系統組織的第一本科丁教育參考教材。希望成為現代學生生活中的一環。為了這一系列的體驗、體會和體悟，本書著重在活動中快樂的學習。更強調互動的學習。 本書是「創易文化」和「科丁教育」的合體，以後天八卦的循環當章節順序。書中最重要的部分就是教育理念和案例的申論。為了和現代的教育融合，本書透過「創易文化」和「科丁教育」的合體，有清晰的理念論述，並有實際的案例呈現。 本書是「創易文化」＋「科丁教育」的詮釋，重點在「教育的蛻變」。章節來自「內容」的深入淺出，更吻合「後天八卦」的循環精進： 第一章：新時代，新動力 （從創新的動機開始） 21 世紀已屬於我們孩子的電腦世代。不單是電腦、手機，還包括他們對於新世代程式設計（科丁教育）的渴望。他們對於coding 將有很深刻的意義。 我們從《易經》後天八卦的循環精進，指導他們如何發揮這種有力的動機。身為父母的家長、教育他們成長的老師、負責下一代正確教育方向的教育主管，甚至於關心學生未來發展的教育達人，更有必要相互切磋。 第二章：「教育的蛻變」從哪裡開始？ （從每個人最擅長的領域開始） 21 世紀是數位科技的時代，是0 和1 元素的綜合組合，是二進位生活方式的延伸，可以讓每個人發揮天馬行空的想像力，是可塑性很高的科技，更是融合在生活中的文化運用。我們將coding 教育和創易文化融合在一起，讓孩子知道如何從自己最專長的領域，將電腦、手機的運用完全操控在自己的手上。 身為父母、老師、教育主管及關心教育的大人們，你們是否也該參入一腳，和孩子一起成長？ 第三章：不能完全依賴經驗 （必須有創新的想法和對於知識和智慧的理解） 現在該是所有大人佇足思考的時候了，我們必須開始尋找其他的方式，來討論「如何教？」、「如何學？」的關鍵問題。有經驗的大人固然憑著經驗，可以很快的做出決定，也因此，常常將自己困住，我們應該開始認真思考，我們的下一代學習什麼東西最好？對於他們這一生最有用的「學習方法」如何開始？ 第四章：新時代的創新活動 （讓孩子開始行動，累積有價值的成果） 新時代的特點，就是變化快速，孩子的成長必須依賴活動中成果的累積。不要以為人類有完美無缺的活動，最重要的是要懂得反省和檢討。因為懂得反省，就會自己改善自己的行為和成果；因為懂得檢討，就懂得和別人一起精進。總之，每個人最後的成就是依賴不斷累積而成長的。 第五章：親朋好友、有志一同 （懂得反省和檢討者，最喜歡和別人一起學習） 學習是雙向的，孩子向父母學習，父母也應該向孩子學習。學生向老師學習，老師也應該向學生學習。頻率最高的學習，是朋友的相互學習。在「Coding 教育＋創易文化」的學習中，我總是運用「太極拳法」的四個字，「沾、連、黏、隨」： 1. 沾：不排斥任何有價值的領域，有機會沾一沾，嘗一嘗。 2. 連：沾到、嘗到的知識，想辦法和自己已有的領域連接在一起。 3. 黏：連在一起的知識，讓他們的結合更為牢靠。 4. 隨：努力隨別人的長處「起舞」，也讓別人隨我們的步伐前進。 第六章：指指點點的教育 （要懂得通變，便於發揮指點的教育價值） 雖然教育是要百年樹人，但學習不能花費很長的時間，卻只看到一點點教育的價值。指導學生活動，每一個部分都必須很簡單，而且必須是一個活動接著一個活動連續不斷。要有成果，也要讓人保持興致。關鍵落在六個字「變通、通變、會通」。 第七章：驕者必敗 （不能只知顯耀自己豐富的經驗） 當我們大人的經驗越來越豐富，信心越來越大時，不能反而是孩子對我們的信賴度越來越低的時候。尤其當孩子覺得學校教出來的程度遠遠落後到學生心目中的認知社會時，在他們的眼中，學校已經失去它為學習殿堂的角色，緊接著，不但孩子不信任教學，連管教問題也是會越來越多。 第八章：更上一層樓 （任何事物的精緻總是周而復始，不斷的反省、檢討和精進） 經過前面七章的學習和精進，我們從回顧和前瞻中預測未來的發展。我們思考許多事情的發生方式，雖然有許多和過去不相同，但仍有許多值得我們沿用的寶貴經驗。我們堅持有始有終，更深信「有終有始」的價值。 本書八章大綱值得讀者先行深思，是各章明顯的Coding。教育以人性為主，企業經營的方式也值得運用。企業經營充滿競爭，所謂的淨利、投資報酬率及資金運用，壓垮了企業經理人厚實的肩膀。高科技與資訊雖然弭平了古老與現代的時空維度，但是卻也剝奪了人類生活與心靈的結合。科技、人文、教育與企業分流，造成企業經理人的煎熬與疏離。 科丁（Coding）是最近科教界很重要的學習科目，此想法由來已久，而且和邏輯絕對相關，也是人文、教育、科技、企業對話的好時機。其實，科丁的想法很簡單！ 出版社 布克文化 (城邦) |

| scratch maze starter: The Definitive ANTLR 4 Reference Terence Parr, 2013-01-22 Programmers run into parsing problems all the time. Whether it's a data format like JSON, a network protocol like SMTP, a server configuration file for Apache, a PostScript/PDF file, or a simple spreadsheet macro language--ANTLR v4 and this book will demystify the process. ANTLR v4 has been rewritten from scratch to make it easier than ever to build parsers and the language applications built on top. This completely rewritten new edition of the bestselling Definitive ANTLR Reference shows you how to take advantage of these new features. Build your own languages with ANTLR v4, using ANTLR's new advanced parsing technology. In this book, you'll learn how ANTLR automatically builds a data structure representing the input (parse tree) and generates code that can walk the tree (visitor). You can use that combination to implement data readers, language interpreters, and translators. You'll start by learning how to identify grammar patterns in language reference manuals and then slowly start building increasingly complex grammars. Next, you'll build applications based upon those grammars by walking the automatically generated parse trees. Then you'll tackle some nasty language problems by parsing files containing more than one language (such as XML, Java, and Javadoc). You'll also see how to take absolute control over parsing by embedding Java actions into the grammar. You'll learn directly from well-known parsing expert Terence Parr, the ANTLR creator and project lead. You'll master ANTLR grammar construction and learn how to build language tools using the built-in parse tree visitor mechanism. The book teaches using real-world examples and shows you how to use ANTLR to build such things as a data file reader, a JSON to XML translator, an R parser, and a Java class->interface extractor. This book is your ticket to becoming a parsing guru! What You Need: ANTLR 4.0 and above. Java development tools. Ant build system optional(needed for building ANTLR from source) |
