http://www.laurenipsum.org/ - A playful story in the tradition of Alice in Wonderland, only this time the fantasy land is filled with personified concepts from computer science. It's written for children or young adults but has enough inside jokes to keep an adult entertained. | |||
"Laurie is lost in Userland. She knows where she is, or where she's going, but maybe not at the same time. The only way out is through Jargon-infested swamps, gates guarded by perfect logic, and the perils of breakfast time at the Philosopher's Diner. With just her wits and the help of a lizard who thinks he's a dinosaur, Laurie has to find her own way home." | |||
The main character -- like Alice -- is a young woman. She starts out a bit insecure but learns to overcome the Jargons and figures out how to solve problems with creativity, and elegant algorithms. | |||
The author wrote it as a side project from his day job as a developer at Facebook, via a Kickstarter project. More at http://www.laurenipsum.org/ and http://carlos.bueno.org/2012/02/bots-seized-control.html. | |||
There's also this http://www.laurenipsum.org/tinkerpad (apparently this is more buggy than turtle at the moment). | |||
