Interesting Links 4 January 2016

Happy New Year! Happy 11111100000! Today is forst day back at school. I didn’t get to everything I wanted to do over the break but I did start playing with some wi-fi enabled light bulbs. Hoping this will be the start of getting serious with Internet of Things development for me.

I did some thinking about Computer Science Education Things to Watch in 2016. It probably means I’ll have to review it all at the end of the year.
