According to wordnetweb.princeton.edu, Computer Science is "the branch of engineering science that studies (with the aid of computers) computable processes and structures". It's the study of computer architectures, languages, and mathematical structures as applied to the process of computing. So what have Campbell, et al produced in this book...a Computer Science textbook that teaches Python?

You have heard of desktops and laptops, but now two engineering students in Kerala have come up with a virtual computer that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. All it needs is an internet connection. K. Ansar and P.P.

Open Source with its promise of distributing source code and allowing anyone to modify it or derive other software from it, makes it an excellent choice for learning computer science, technology and engineering of software.

Five years ago, the only engineering or computer science majors setting their sights on a career in writing software code for an open source company were the most hardcore of computer nerds. That was something done only by the true computer geeks, and it usually required an independent source of income. Experienced programmers knew the gravy train existed at proprietary companies.

"FOR the first time in the city, a group of Free Software users are coming together to organise an exhibition to promote the importance of Free Software. The ‘GNU/Linux Install Fest’, claimed to be the first-of-its-kind in the state, will be held as part of Dishaa 08, organised by the students of the Computer Science Department of Sree Chithira Thirunal College of Engineering here..."

If software is applied science and engineering, then comparing it to politics and religion should be deemed inappropriate

"Software patents are evil." Ask almost any free or open source software advocate, and they'll tell you that software patents kill creativity and keep computer science from advancing as rapidly as it would if everyone shared their basic work with everyone else, unencumbered by patents or other restrictions.

This article examines a field called compliance engineering. Compliance engineering was pioneered by technical experts who wanted to address misuses of software, and was made famous by gpl-violations.org, FSF, and similar organizations correcting Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) license violations.

Joel Sweatte, director of IT at East Carolina University's College of Technology and Computer Science, recently asked the vendor of an engineering analysis application about its support for VMware's virtualization software. The company told him that it didn't have a virtualization support policy and that he should call back if the application didn't work.
