first exposure to computer programing was through learning VBA coding, with which I learned to write simple input/output programs like basic arithmetic, text mode, and some logical statements. From there, I gradually moved on to intermediate level programming that required complex database…
Object-oriented programming has opened the possibility that software components can be constructed and re-used with more credibility. Software developers can create software objects that model real-world objects, and then create variables and methods that constitute the object they are developing. Programming utilizing real-world like objects makes the development process easier and more relatable for the individual or team overall by making it easier to understand how objects are interconnected…
Lovelace was a mathematician and writer from England who is commonly known as the first computer programmer. Ada worked with Charles Babbage on his Analytical Engine, a proposed mechanical, general-purpose computer and the beginnings of computer programming. Her notes included the first of what is now known as an algorithm. She is the only legitimate child of the Romantic poet, Lord Byron. ==Young Life and Education== Ada Lovelace was born Augusta Ada Byron King on December 10, 1815, the…
oriented programming (OOP) is programming is based on objects. Programmers also have to define not only data type of data structure but also the functions that needs to be applied. OOP enables programmers to create modules so that much changes are not needed when new objects are added. Simula is the first OOP language developed in 1960s at the Norwegian Computing Center. Some do consider Smalltalk to be the true object oriented programming environment. Visual Basic is an object-oriented…
Object-oriented programming is a style of programming in which the programmer may determine a data structure’s data type, as well as any operations applied to the data structure (“Cornell.edu” n.d.). It is a programming paradigm that is built around the idea of data structures, also known as “objects.” Objects are the fundamental elements of object-oriented programming. They are made up of state and behavior. An object’s state is represented by “instance variables”, and behavior is represented…
knowledge from the program to integrate learning with computing environments to create more interactive learning systems. Furthermore, I plan to be involved in opportunities that cater to the underserved, such as learners with disabilities, those with language barriers and older adults that are underproductive because of their limited skills. ELearning drives socio-economic progress by providing opportunities for where and when one can learn, and continue to smooth out inequalities imposed by…
oriented programming language, with very clear syntax, that incorporates modules, classes and dynamic typing. Python was created by Guido van Rossum, a Dutch programmer. At his time working at CWI, a Dutch research institute, in a group that involved the distribution of the Amoeba operating system, he wanted a better and easier way to do system administration other than using C programs. Van Rossum wanted a language that could be used in the Amoeba systems with a similar syntax as the ABC…
Beyond School Books: Podcast #83, Girls Who Code In anticipation of the International Day of the Girl Child, UNICEF podcast moderator Alex Goldmark interviews Rashma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code. The Girls Who Code organization seeks challenge many of the culturally reinforced perception and constructs believed as contributing to the low and declining representation of women within the computer sciences industries of North America. The organization provides confidence enriching…
spend the time and money to recreate and recover data that became corrupt or lost when a system failure occurs. If they do not use a variation of C++, then I am positive that this algorithm can be tweaked and adjusted to accommodate other programming languages as long as they are object oriented in…
three tiered object-oriented design over the traditional application design. First we will define the two programming methods, then state the advantages and superiority of the three-tiered over the traditional design. Finally, we will summarize the document. A Tale of Two Programming Designs What Is the Traditional Approach? Traditional programming is defined as a software application programming technique that follows a Waterfall design approach with block structures. A defined function or set…
