Lots of colleges and universities have programming degrees or certification programs. This will be the best way to learn as you will have a teacher who can answer all your questions and help you learn key skills in the correct order. A programming degree can also help you get lots of jobs very easily, as it is a skill that is very much in demand. There are a number of online universities that you can attend for a fee or for free. These sometimes may not offer degrees but will offer the same amount of education. If you pay tuition, you should generally expect that a degree will be offered. Good free online university programs in computer programming include MIT’s OpenCourseware and Coursera. There are several companies who offer help with programming, especially since they are very reliant on programmers improving their product. Use the resources provided by these companies to learn even more about programming. Examples include Google’s University Consortium and Mozilla’s Developer Network. Lots of regular people have lessons in programming available on their own personal websites as well. These can be really useful for learning how to do specific things in a variety of programming languages. There are even a number of programs designed to help kids learn programming. Since programming is really just another language, they’ll have an easy time picking it up while they’re still young. Avoid kits, as these don’t really teach anything, but programs like MIT’s Scratch can be very helpful.

One-sentence summary -- Consider going to school. Use online universities. Use online tools. Use online tutorials. Let kids learn programming too!


Swamp coolers work best when the humidity outside is relatively low, making the dew point low. You can check the dew point on most weather apps and weather websites.  The dew point is the temperature at which the water in the air is evaporating and condensing at the same rate. You want a lower dew point because swamp coolers work by evaporating water in the air to cool the room down. The lower the dew point, the lower you can cool. Typically, you can cool down the air to 20 degrees above the dew point temperature without your home getting too humid.  You can also use a dew point calculator to calculate the dew point, such as this one: http://www.dpcalc.org/. You need to know the temperature and humidity. For swamp coolers to work, you need to let air out at the same rate that the swamp cooler is blowing air in. That way, humidity won't build up in your house, making it seem warmer than it actually is. Though opening windows seems counter-intuitive, it actually helps your swamp cooler work better.  You'll need 1 to 2 square feet (0.093 to 0.186 m2) of open window space per 1,000 cfm, which is the unit's cooling capacity. You don't want to open them too far because that lets in hot air.  The other option for ventilation is installing grills to the attic, if your attic has ventilation. To help direct the cool air where you want it, only open windows where you want the air to be cooler, as that will pull the cold air that direction. Keep the windows closed in areas you don't want to cool down. If the weather is nice outside but your house is a little warm, you can use most swamp coolers as a house-wide fan. Pick the vent-only option to cool down your house with outside air. Generally, swamp coolers have more than one speed. The higher speed will keep your home cooler, but the lower speed is more energy efficient. Pick the one that meets your needs.

One-sentence summary -- Operate the cooler when the dew point is under 55 °F (13 °C). Let the air out by opening a window or two. Close windows in areas you don't want to cool. Use the fan option when the weather is nice. Change the speed to your preference.


Use a comb to draw your part along either side of your head. Brush the hair on both sides of this part to keep it smooth.  To create this look, you'll create a partial French braid that drapes down along one side of your head. As you form the braid, though, you'll leave some hair hanging down from beneath it, creating a “waterfall” effect. This style may be better for individuals with short hair that comes to at least their shoulders or just above their shoulders. Alternatively, if your hair is very short you can try to do a waterfall braid on a section of your hair, not your entire head. Gather approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of hair toward the front of your face. This section of hair should be taken from the wider side of your part. If you have long, sideswept bangs, your first section of hair will mostly consist of your bangs. If not, draw the section from the hair closest to your part and at the front of your face. Split the section of hair into three equal portions, then braid those portions together into one or two full braids. To form a single braid, cross the left portion of hair over the middle portion, then cross the right portion of hair over the new middle portion (previous left portion). Gather a new portion of hair into the braid by drawing it from the top of your head.You'll add this hair to your braid using a traditional French braiding technique.  Pick up a section of hair directly next to the topmost section of your braid. The section should be roughly one-third as thick as the overall braid. Draw the new portion together with the current topmost piece, essentially forming one large portion. Create another single braid using this newly joined portion of hair. Gather a new portion of hair into the braid from beneath. Instead of incorporating it into a standard French braid, however, you'll use this new section as a substitute for an old section.  Pick up the second new portion will from directly beneath and behind the braid. Draw together a portion of hair roughly one-third as thick as the overall braid. Drop the current bottom portion of the the braid and allow it to hang loose down the side of your head. Create one new braid using the new bottom portion. Leave the previous bottom portion alone. Continue drawing new hair into the braid using the same technique as before. Braid the hair in this manner until you reach the back of your head.  Each new portion of hair taken from above the braid should be woven into the braid with the previous top portion. Each new portion of hair taken from beneath the braid should be woven into the braid instead of the previous bottom portion. Tie the loose end of the braid off with a small elastic hair band. Allow the loose ends to hang down naturally off the back of your head. Carefully brush the loose hair hanging from beneath your braid to remove any tangles and smooth out any frizz. Check your braid in the mirror. If you like the way it looks, the braid is done and ready to show off. If not, unbraid and redo until you have the desired look.
