I see Wolfram|Alpha Open Code as opening a window into the world of computational thinking for all the students who use Wolfram|Alpha. And after 30 years of development weвЂ™re at the exciting point with the Wolfram Language of being able to directly teach serious computational thinking to a very wide range of students. But when I invented it my immediate objective was very much educational: I wanted to be able to give the millions of students who use Wolfram|Alpha every day a taste of the power of code, and what can be achieved if one learns about code and computational thinking.Д¬omputational thinking is a critically important skill for the future. Wolfram|Alpha Open Code is going to be really useful to a lot of people-not just students. And of course you can do all of this in the cloud, using any modern web browser. You can put in text to annotate what youвЂ™re doing.

You can do a whole series of computations. And divide by the corresponding result for the US:ДЄn important feature of notebooks is that theyвЂ™re full, computable documents-and you can add whatever you want to them. Start in Wolfram|Alpha, then get the underlying Wolfram Language code (it can be made shorter, but then itвЂ™s a little less clear whatвЂ™s going on):Д®valuate the code to get a time series. HereвЂ™s what happens with some real-world data. Starting with Wolfram|Alpha, then extending using the Wolfram Language, is very powerful. You could give code to interactively change the parameters too: But itвЂ™s easy to say what to do by giving a tiny bit of Wolfram Language code (and, yes, you can interactively spin those 3D surfaces around): LetвЂ™s say you just got a mathematical result from Wolfram|Alpha:Д«ut then you wonder: вЂњwhat happens for a whole range of exponents?вЂќ Well, itвЂ™s going to get pretty complicated to tell Wolfram|Alpha what you want just using natural language. But as soon as they want to go further-thatвЂ™s where Wolfram|Alpha Open Code comes in. If all someone wants is a single, quick result, then classic Wolfram|Alpha should be all theyвЂ™ll need. You can run any piece of code by clicking the button (or typing Shift+Enter):Д«ut the really important thing is that right there on the web you can change and extend the code, and then instantly run it again: But now each section contains not results, but instead core Wolfram Language code needed to get those results. The sections of the notebook parallel the sections of your Wolfram|Alpha output. Click it and Wolfram|Alpha will generate code for you, then open it in a fully runnable and editable notebook that you can immediately use in the Wolfram Open Cloud: Now in almost every section of the output youвЂ™ll see an вЂњOpen CodeвЂќ link. It takes a lot of sophisticated technology to make this possible. With Wolfram|Alpha Open Code theyвЂ™ll now not just be able to get answers, but also be able to get code that lets them explore further and immediately apply computational thinking.
