"Sorry, just a second, Skipper, I just noticed that the data I'm dealing with is always monotonically increasing, so I can reduce the space complexity of my data structure by at least a factor of n," Barbie says. "Gosh Barbie, none of that space or time complexity stuff really matters in practice, you know!" Skipper jeers. "Skipper, that is the worst thing I have ever heard anyone say." Barbie is very upset because Skipper is very wrong.
"Sorry, just a second, Skippe…

"There's way too much information to decode the Matrix," Barbie explains. "You get used to it, though. Your brain does the translating. I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead..."

Should I implement my visualization with P5.js, D3, Node.js, or Three.js with WebGL? Gah! I'm leaning towards Three.js for its performance, but P5.js for its pedagogic value.

Barbie is thrilled that she chose a shinny new PC over a Mac or Linux workstation. Now she can run Maya, 3dsMax, Softimage, Houdini, or Cinema 4D without being limited by OS! With all that cash she saved, she can even buy FumeFX!
Barbie is thrilled that she c…

Barbie tries to execute the code Steven wrote to implement her design, but suddenly her screen starts blinking. "#$%$ freaking windows 8" says Barbie. Barbie and Skipper go to the command line and run the .exe. The code doesn't execute, throwing an error that indicates a typo. "Looks like Steven screwed up, big sister," says Skipper.
Barbie tries to execute the c…
Ok for the teens out there, you don't need f-bombs or tequila to be successful in this industry, I swear. Well actually maybe you do.

"Your robot puppy is so sweet," says Skipper. "Can I play your game?" "Yes, of course. Not just you, everyone with a device can play it. I will have the game programmed in a couple hours. Steven is creating the graphics and Brian is trying to market it. Just a little bit patience!" Barbie says.
"Your robot puppy is so sweet…
"Not to worry, Skipper," says Barbie. "When I get back from school I will debug and make a fix for the virus." "Yes! I remember when you did that for Steven last time and saved all his graphic designs" Skipper replies as she throws away the pillow to grab her Programming with C++ book and puts it in her backpack.
"Not to worry, Skipper," says…
"I'm only creating the design ideas," Barbie says, laughing. "I'll need Beth's help to turn it into a real game! The red balloon still doesn't work."

"No Barbie, there's no need to get angry at them! They just want to stand up for ethics in games journalism. That's what started it all in the first place."

"So what do you think of my code?" Skipper asked Barbie, her older sister and well-respected C hacker. "Skipper... this is full of gotos." Barbie sighed.

When Barbie runs her code, her program throws an exception. "Ha," looks like you're not the elite programmer today," jokes Skipper. "Oh, doh," says Barbie, "I'm trying to index an array with a string. I need to cast that as an int." On only the second try, Barbie's program runs beautifully. "I love it, Barbie. You're brilliant!" says Skipper.
When Barbie runs her code, he…
After class, Steven and Brian see Barbie in the library. "Hi, guys," says Barbie. "I wanted to understand how that virus worked, so I'm just reverse engineering the code. It's a lot of work, but I've got the hang of it now. I need some energy to write the program to recover all of Skipper's deleted files. Could one of you get me a cup of coffee? Thanks!"
After class, Steven and Brian…
"Your robot puppy is so sweet," says Skipper. "Can I play your game?" "Sure, you can be my beta tester," Barbie says, laughing, "That way, you can help me improve the game and my skills!"

"Ugh, this merge conflict is really bad," says Barbie. "Why did they have to modify 50 files at once?" "Let me pour you some coffee, then we'll pair on resolving it, big sister," says Skipper.

"Your robot puppy is so sweet," says Skipper. "Can I play your game?" "I'm only creating the design ideas," Barbie says, laughing, "I'll need some time to think about my options before I focus and get to the coding that will turn it into a real game!"
"Your robot puppy is so sweet…
