Introduction to Coding презентация

like a recipe.
Computer programs can help cure diseases; drive cars; create video games; make animated movies/graphics; build websites and apps; and much more.
Basic coding concepts are used by most every program and most every programmer.

expression.
Be able to think and problem solve more accurately.
Build something useful and maybe start a business.
Have a better understanding of how technology works.
Have fun!
Do you think it is valuable to learn to code? Why? You are here today, so that is a good sign. ☺

for the average person; however, when you get familiar with basic programming logic you will see patterns everywhere!

understand something until he teaches it to someone else. Actually a person does not really understand something until after teaching it to a computer, i.e., express it as an algorithm.”

There are several MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course) and other freely available resources that offer computer programming classes. Coursera, Udacity, and Edx are great examples. Also, Khan Academy has some great resources for kids and adults too!

that provide a way of telling a computer:
What operations to perform
Communicating an algorithm
Receives an input from the user and generates an output.
A programming language is a system for describing a computation (math) or algorithms (logic) in a machine-readable and human-readable form.
Has words, symbols, and grammatical rules (natural language)
Grammatical rules = Syntax
Each language has a different set of syntax rules
Has semantics (meaning)

Arrays
Operators
Flow Control
Functions

of information. A variable can change value when
Specific conditions are met
Based on user input
Examples (concept)
$string_myhomelibrary = “Montgomery Library”;
$numeric_variable= 100;
$myname = “Brian”;

that holds many pieces of information.
Example (language doesn’t matter here; the concept does):
$FavoriteCities = array(“Orlando”, “Boulder”, “Miami”)
$FavoriteCities[0] holds “Orlando”
$FavoriteCities [1] holds “Boulder”
$States = array(“1” => “Prime”; “FL”=> “Florida”, “CO” => “Colorado”)
$States[“FL”] holds “Florida”

value of 2 to the variable called v)
$v = 2;
+= (“Add the value of 3 to the variable that already holds 1”)
$v += 3; // $a now holds 5

then else if)
Continual

in the same order they where given:
OPEN the door
WALK inside the room
SIT on a chair
PICKUP a book
READ the book.

commands, outputs, etc.

{
then do this
}
If Then Else
Else: XYZ
Starts the same as “If Then” but allows a result if condition is false
Else If
if (something is true/conditions are met) {
then do this
} elseif (another something is true/conditions are met) {
then do this instead
}

commands, outputs, etc … as they remain true

While (or repeat)
while (something is true) {
do something here
}
for
for (something is true) {
do something here
}

a book
Read the book
Return the book
2) Choice
If you have a library card, you can check out books. Otherwise open a library card account.
3) Repeat
Continue to read the book till there are no more pages.

a value
A procedure preforms an operation but typically doesn’t provide a value
Most languages have pre-built or pre-defined functions in its library.
For instance, the “delete” function means to “remove”. You don’t have to code what “remove” does; only what to remove.

Processing
GUI Programming (Graphical User Interface)

Types:
Application Specific Programming
Web Applications / Software Applications
Front End Systems (what the users see)
Back End Systems

and mathematical applications by scientists and engineers.

Traditional Programming Languages

Languages (cont’d.)

as a simple language for students to write programs with which they could interact through terminals.

Traditional Programming Languages (cont’d.)

of assembly language
Often used for system programs.
UNIX is written in C.

Traditional Programming Languages (cont’d.)

and application software.
Graphical user interfaces can be developed easily with visual programming tools.
Windows Based

Object-Oriented Programming Languages

problematic features
Allows a web page developer to create programs for applications, called applets that can be used through a browser.
Objective of JAVA developers is that it be machine, platform and operating system independent.

Object-Oriented Programming Languages

cmd

Special Programming Languages

(WWW).
Web page developer puts brief codes called tags in the page to indicate how the page should be formatted.
XML
Extensible Markup Language.
A language for defining other languages.

Special Programming Languages

Languages
HTML
Databases
Microsoft SQL (Microsoft), MySQL (Open Source), NoSQL (now Apples)

and use a programming language is in many ways like learning to speak a human language
you have to learn new vocabulary, syntax and semantics (new words, sentence structure and meaning)
require continual practice

Things to Consider

so lightweight languages had to be used, concise commands, and less “flashy” design
Now: Life cycle (human) cost is more important
Ease of use for both user and programmer
Cost of maintenance (debugging, updates, etc)

What determines a “right” language

– like a recipe. Basic coding concepts are used by most every program and most every programmer.

A programming language is set of rules that provide a way of telling a computer what operations to perform, communicating an algorithm, and receives an input from the user and generates an output.


Learning to code will emphasize the importance of clarity/brevity of expression, you will be able to think and problem solve more accurately, and essentially have a better understanding of how technology works.

There are a few basic computer programming components that exist in most programming languages. They are variables & arrays, operators, flow control, and functions


There are a ton of other great/free resources available online to help you learn to code.
