Extreme Programming

The skills learned from programming are so universal and essential that there should be no question about teaching in schools. Why is programming so important? Well, there is not a day that goes by that you are not using something that requires programs to run. Every little thing you do on your phone, smart or not, needs a program. Watching the morning news, your cable…

Those girls pass on the knowledge that Bryant taught them, onto other young girls and boys “Bryant decided to start Black Girls Code, a nonprofit that would introduce girls from underrepresented communities to computer programming… Starting Black Girls Code was a huge sacrifice for Bryant. But she is a risk-taker, and believes that characteristic has served her well throughout her career” (Gilpin, Lyndsey). Bryant only wanted to change the future for all the women who want…

started programming. I started with the hopes of creating a “Triple A” game title or a physics engine for a game. Oh how naïve I was, I thought I would be able to program anything. With the sights of programming in my eyes one night I found myself alone in my room. The room was dark, the screen was bright and filled with white and a blinking cursor. I stared at it as it daunted me until the void in my mind finally expanded with the question “What do I do now?” I thought I could start programming…

While I come from an agriculturally-focused family, my interests as a young boy were divided between aviation and computers. At the age of 13, I began to focus more on my digital hobbies after a neighbor offered to assist me in learning the art of programming. During the next few years, he mentored me in software development using primarily C# with the .NET Framework. In that time, I created a collection of small personal applications and games as I experimented with code and concepts. At age…

cooperation, creativity, and innovation in students, skills that are not easily taught in a classroom setting.

Outside of the classroom, TNT has accepted the responsibility of mentoring rookie FRC Team 6453…

“Cool,” I exclaimed as I won Minesweeper for the first time. As I was playing, I wondered, “How are these games made?” Little did I know that there were multiple lines of code written to engineer the game. Digital games like Minesweeper sparked a curiosity in my six year old mind that incited my passion for Computer Science. As a middle schooler, computers intrigued me. I always wanted to find the answer to the question “How can a small little box be so smart?” To do so, I decided to enroll…

Find and discuss at least two other resources on scripting or programming for security professionals. With the numerous programming languages which are used today it is hard for anyone to know everything about each programming language which they may be required to work with. Along with this, programing is a skill and if not used routinely it is easy to forget important information about the different programing and scripting languages and how they work. This is just some of the many reasons…

some creativity as well as a passion for games ("CFNC.org - Career Profile"). Game designers need a bachelor degree usually some employers hire workers who have an associate's degree. Programmers only are fluent in a few programming languages. Some examples of programming languages are Javascript, Python, and PHP. Most programmers usually work in offices,…

The typeface I am picking is the Arial font. The Arial typeface was drawn in 1982 by designer Robin Nicholas and Patricia Saunders. It was original called Sonoran Sans Serif and was renamed Arial in 1992. Arial was made similar to the Helvetica font design, some say copying it for thickness and height. It started off as a bitmap font. The bitmap were high-resolution laser comp fonts that were used as a starting point to sample down give it a 240dpi or 300dpi font. Arial was original…
