IIHT Partners with Microsoft to launch Learning programs on Cloud
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility over a network. Parallels to this concept can be drawn with the electricity grid, wherein end-users consume power without needing to understand the component devices or infrastructure required to provide the service. The 3 most important services popularly provided among others by Cloud are SaaS (Software as a Service), IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service)
The concept of cloud computing fills a perpetual need of IT: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT's existing capabilities.
Students from the School of Computing graduate at Rochester Cathedral on 19 July 2016. Congratulations class of 2016!
Within an afternoon workshop, Peter William Holden invited participants to create their own moving, talking, singing miniature installation. He shared his knowledge of mechanical kinetics and his ability to form beautifully choreographed dances using found objects. The group united their creations to create cacophony which was featured in the exhibition at the Hannah Maclure Centre.
We have better Internet connectivity in France than I have at work or home in England. We also have Wifi by the swimming pool. Sadly we have less much reliable electricity.
Note the hi-tech use of pen and paper.

No interactive thingymabobs here, but maybe that's ok since touchscreens weren't quite invented yet.
int yellowPin = 13;
int redPin = 12; // Red LED connected to digital pin 12
int greenPin = 11; // Green LED connected to digital pin 11
int inPin = 2; // choose the input pin (for a pushbutton)
int val = 0; // variable for reading the pin status
void setup() {
pinMode(redPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
pinMode(greenPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
pinMode(yellowPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(inPin, INPUT); // declare pushbutton as input
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop(){
val = digitalRead(inPin); // read input value
if (val == HIGH) { // check if the input is HIGH (button released)
blink01();
// digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn LED OFF
Serial.println("blink!!");
}
else {

Serial.println("off");
}
}
void blink01() {
digitalWrite(redPin, HIGH); // sets the Red LED on
digitalWrite(greenPin, HIGH); // sets the Green LED on
digitalWrite(yellowPin, HIGH);

I sumbled over this wonderfull items of my roots in computing. With the C64 I learned coding (I had no medium to save anything, so every time I started it, I had to built something myself first)
And the Cray was a dream back then. Cray not only made the supercomputers of that time, they made them stylish too. There was one with a watercooled system. They made a well out of it!
