Object-oriented 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…

shorter development cycle, higher customer satisfaction, lower bug rates, and quicker adaptation to rapidly changing business requirements. This paper presents a new hybrid model/method, which combines the Rational Unified Process with eXtreme Programming (XP) and Scrum to maximize the strengths of both conventional and agile methods, while trying to suppressing the weakness of each approach. The Rational Unified Process is used as a skeleton in the hybrid method while Scrum is embedded into the…

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. Also, members of TNT’s programming team have organized Hour of Code events to inform and instruct junior high and high school students on the educational and employable benefits of coding, giving all students hands on access and assistance to explore simple programming skills in an hour. Outside of the classroom, TNT has accepted the responsibility of mentoring rookie FRC Team 6453…

Scrum is the main way of project management in Agile. It means that most of the Agile projects are run in a Scrum manner. Agile project management with Scrum has several main principles. Independence of the Scrum team is the first and the main principle of its work. It means that the team of Scrum developers has no strict limits to work within. In the traditional approach to software development, the team is usually provided with complete and detailed instructions on the future project. At…

“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…
