Typing is a primary method of input in computing and therefore is certainly a skill that we should learn to master and improve on if we want to do our work more efficiently. Coding and scripting tasks involve a lot of typing and can be simplified, if there is a quick approach to typing. Articles contained here touch on how to cut short your typing and programming time through practices, use of tips and tricks, and use of typing software.

Long hours of work and improper posture before a computer could cause injuries and disorders to the muscle and nervous system in the arm and neck. The symptoms are usually weakness and pain that is usually spread over many areas and gets worse with movement. Using text autocompletion software such as TypingAid and BlitzType can help to minimize the risk of RSI. To seek a full recovery, the current medical treatment method is usually rest, physical, occupational therapy and pain-control using drugs. Surgical method exists, but is usually expensive and the chance of relapse and other complications exists.
In this article, we wish to introduce a new type of medical treatment, Acupotomy for repetitive strain injury and other computer-related injuries that is very effective and could relieve the pain and discomfort of tens of thousands of computer working adults in near future. The articles are compiled from our interview with an Acupotomy practitioner and material from Acupotomy official website .

It is amazing how fast CPU speed and harddisk space can advance in recent years. What's more "amazing" is perhaps we are still using the same keyboard and mouse as we did 15 years ago. Our computer input paradigm hasn't changed much, still the same old routine: typing - mouse-click - interrupts due to flow of thought - typing again.
Here we review 5 inventions and technologies that could one day make it easier for us to work with computers and be able to match with the productivity of typing on a keyboard: Software aided typing, DVORAK keyboard, ergonomic input devices, speech recognition technology and multi-touch technology. We introduce each, analyze the pros and cons behind and try to find out which one of them could turn into a consumer product in near future.

Python codes usually have fewer lines compared to codes written in other languages owing to its concise syntax. By having the code in a clean and readable form, it is easier to follow, debug, maintain and reuse. As a result, Python gained the reputation of being one of the most productive languages. Here are 6 ways how Python programmer can achieve a task but type less in the process.

How do I learn programming from scratch? Which programming language should I choose? Which programming language is the best? These are the questions I often hear or see in forum postings. Usually the person who asked the question had zero programming experience and wish to learn programming real fast. When we are faced with so many choices: Java, C++, PHP, Ruby on Rails, .NET, surely we want to find which is the best.
As much as the questions posted, the answers I often hear are that it doesn't matter which one you choose, all of them have the essential features that you need to pick up, or that there is no best programming language. In fact, this answer is wrong. There is a best language for starter. It's called
