Adding knowledge: InventWithPython and Wikiquote

"I think the most important law in contrast to all of our code is the diffusion of knowledge among the people. No other sure foundation can be devised to preserve the freedom and happiness. [...] Advocates, my dear fellow, for a crusade against ignorance, establishes and improves the law to educate the common people. "

-Thomas Jefferson

Knowledge for the people is something you should always seek a more educated people is definitely a town with more opportunities and a high capacity. Education is the key to development.

Since the advent of Internet has made knowledge more accessible. Internet came to flatten the world and provide "to all who have access to this medium-the same opportunities to get knowledge. Just a matter of us to find and seize.

To this end we have created the section Adding Knowledge , we collect Internet resources that offer content that allows us to learn new things and learn a little more.

Today we discuss two other interesting projects, but remember that if you know a website worth recommending or you learned something, let me get through my Twitter account (@ zapata131) or you can share it comments. Thanks in advance.

InventWithPython

(Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python)

In the words of author:

"Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python" is a book that teaches you elecctrónico free programming in the Python programming language. Each chapter provides the complete source code for a new game, and then teaches programming concepts by example.

"Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python", was written to be understood by children as young as 10 to 12 years of age, although it is ideal for anyone of any age who has never programmed before.

The project is a great way to bring programming to a younger audience but in a manner fully consistent with his age. I'm putting it here despite being in English because it represents a valuable source of information and through its license Creative Commons is possible to translate.

I invite those who want and can do the translation into Spanish to make the effort to give this gift to the Internet community. And if there is a Spanish version (which I know), I ask you leave a link in the comments.
