[NetBehaviour] Iteracy And The Digital Humanities

[Rob Myers]

David Berry (whose excellent "Philosophy Of Computing" I reviewed for
Furtherfield recently - ) has blogged about "iteracy" as a form of
computational literacy -

"I would like to suggest that iteracy might serve as the name for the
specific skills used for understanding code and algorithmic culture – as
indeed literacy (understanding texts) and numeracy (understanding
numbers) do in a similar context. That is, iteracy is specifically the
practice or being able to read and write code, rather than the more
extensive notion of digital Bildung"

And his next book looks really good as well -
