🚀Launching mathsuniverse.com/forms - create forms in seconds for students to answer. Teachers receive answers instantly as they type - perfect for AfL in lessons. 100% free and ad-free. Super-charge your lessons with it today.
I accidentally created a photo book company to answer the question of whether students should study computer science re AI writing code rgbloom.com/blog/should-i-st…
Fascinating to see all the many commits to Bun's Zig to Rust port github.com/oven-sh/bun/commi… ... over 50 commits in the last hour! @bunjavascript
I made a tiny 100 line library to abstract away pesky WebSocket messages and just invoke remote functions in @bunjavascript and web browsers. Works from server or client. github.com/jakeg/websocket-f…
Introduced 25 more A-level students to @bunjavascript this week. The punt I took on Bun 2 years ago has really paid off. Such a great way to learn JavaScript (and TypeScript), and it keeps on getting better!
I made a super simple spinner that randomises the order of items - perfect for teachers to eg randomise the order of students presenting to the class: mathsuniverse.com/spinner
Pathfinding algorithms (Dijkstra and A*) visualised on real maps of Cambridge. Useful for A-level computer science teachers/students: mathsuniverse.com/pathfindin… I had lots of fun finding out how to use OpenStreeMap (OSM) data and the OverPass API with this one.
Day 8 of #AdventOfCode using JavaScript via @bunjavascript . A pretty good solve, but 5mins wasted misunderstanding an example at the end. Video at youtu.be/fvhXpLchv_Q #AdventOfCode2024
Day 5 #AdventOfCode using JavaScript via @bunjavascript . Not too many silly/time-wasting mistakes on this one. Video at youtube.com/watch?v=5WKaNGOl… #adventofcode2024
Day 3 of Advent of Code using JavaScript via @bunjavascript . This one was all about regex skills. #adventofcode #adventofcode2024 Video at youtube.com/watch?v=VqrHAKp_…
Solving Advent of Code challenges using @bunjavascript m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh_JZF… (here I solve 2024 day 1 challenge, with some tips on how to set up) #AdventOfCode #AdventOfCode2024
Computer science teachers: I've made some videos showing how to use my free Little Man Computer simulator, which uses binary and is pretty slick: m.youtube.com/playlist?list=…
🚀Just launched an updated version of mathsuniverse.com/infinity . The UI has been simplified, dark mode is improved and there's a new menu. Try it out and let me know if any problems.
I've made some changes to mathsuniverse.com/forms which should make it more robust to connection issues, and so teachers see student answers even quicker. I continue to use this invaluable AfL tool almost every lesson. Try it out if you haven't already. It's free.
I've made a change to mathsuniverse.com/infinity which should fix a bug where sometimes PDFs wouldn't load.
Are you a computer science teacher keen on teaching JavaScript (we teach @bunjavascript on the CLI/server) to high achieving sixth formers in Cambridge (UK)? Get in touch, we'll be expanding the department soon!

What about infinity whiteboard?
mathsuniverse.com/infinity
I LOVE it!
I'm seeing several hundred visits a day to mathsuniverse.com/pixel-art at the moment, which is more than I'd expect. If you're using it in your lessons, can you let me know how you're using it?
