Education
AP CS Courses (and Students) on the Decline, CSTA Survey Finds
This spring, the 2009 CSTA National Secondary Computer Science Survey collected responses from some 1,100 high school Computer Science teachers. The results: only 65 percent reported that their schools offer introductory or pre-AP Computer Science classes, as compared with 73 percent in 2007 and 78 percent in 2005. Only 27 percent reported that their schools offer AP CS, as compared with 32 percent in 2007 and 40 percent in 2005. And 74 percent offer CS content in courses other than introductory or AP CS, down from 85 percent in 2007. "The continuing drop in students taking AP CS is a serious warning sign about the state of computing in this country, as a student taking AP typically indicates his or her interest in majoring in that field in college or pursuing a career in that area," said Chris Stephenson, executive director of the Computer Science Teachers Association.
Student News
Upcoming ACM Student Research Competitions Call for Submissions
ACM Student Research Competitions take place at ACM-sponsored conferences throughout the year.

ACM-W News
ACM-W Student Chapters Mark an Eventful Year
ACM-W student chapters continue to grow in number and in the variety of activities that are offered to their members. There are currently 33 university ACM-W chapters with an average membership of 17 students. The largest chapter was Utah State, reporting 45 members! But even if you don't have a large number of female students in your department, don't be discouraged. Thirty-six percent of the chapters report fewer than 10 members, so there are opportunities for women in smaller programs as well. Reported activities varied, including outreach activities in the community, lectures by women professionals in computing, fundraising opportunities, and social events. The University of Maryland participated in Girl Scout Day at the National Air and Space Museum to help young girls get excited about Computer Science. Eighteen percent of reported activities were outreach events such as these to help reach young girls as they are formulating their interests in certain areas. Target participated with a chapter to encourage female CS students to consider their Leadership Internship Program. Several chapters reported events focused on research opportunities and preparing for graduate school. Social activities included a casino night, computer part sculptures, raffles, and "whine" and cheese exam breaks. Visit ACM-W for a map showing the location of all the current ACM-W chapters, and request a start-up kit if you would like to start an ACM-W student chapter at your institution.

Communications of the ACM Reports: Improving Technology Interactions for Blind People
Behind the Braille representation on the cover of the August Communications of the ACM (CACM), researchers from the University of Washington examine the most effective methods for designing technologies for blind users. The cover depicts a quote by Helen Keller that captures the paradox of seeing but having no vision. In this cover story, Kristen Shinohara and Josh Tenenberg show how elements of meaning can be as important as usability in the design of technology. The issue also features a debate among renowned CTOs on how small- and medium-size companies can take advantage of the opportunities that cloud computing provides for service delivery. Communications, the flagship publication of ACM, offers readers access to this generation's most significant leaders and innovators in computing and information technology, and is available online in digital format.

Evaluating Revision Control Systems: acmqueue Asks an Expert
A revision-control system is any software development team's bread and butter, allowing team members to track the history of their code and work independently on different branches. But, as Bryan O'Sullivan, author of Mercurial: The Definitive Guide (O'Reilly 2009), points out in an article for acmqueue, all revision-control systems are not created equal. O'Sullivan evaluates both centralized tools, such as CVS and Subversion, and distributed tools, such as Mercurial and Git, highlighting features that make them better suited for different types of development teams.
