Begin programming: build your first mobile game — University of Reading Learn the basics of Java programming by developing a simple mobile game that you can run on your computer, Android phone, or tablet. Programming is everywhere: in dishwashers, cars and even space shuttles. This course will help you to understand how programs work and guide you through creating your own computer program – a mobile game. Whether you’re a complete newcomer to programming, or have some basic skills, this course provides a challenging but fun way to start programming in Java. Over seven weeks we will introduce the basic constructs that are used in many programming languages and help you to put this knowledge into practice by changing the game code we have provided. The course will combine video introductions, on-screen examples, downloadable guides, articles and discussions to help you understand the principles behind computer programs and the building blocks that are used to create them. This course includes video content and other visual teaching methods.
Why You Should Learn To Code (And How To Actually Do It) In the Lost Interview with Steve Jobs, Apple’s co-founder said, “I think everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer because it teaches you how to think.” I like to think of coding as applied math and sciences because it teaches us an iterative approach to solving problems and testing out our ideas. While I don’t consider myself a coder, apart from HMTL/CSS I don’t code in my daily work, I did find that learning the basics of how to code on CodeAcademy has done wonders for improving my problem solving skills. Now that software is eating the world by automating all kinds of routine jobs, the basic knowledge of how lines of code create the digital worlds we explore every day is becoming a fundamental digital literacy. Watch the video below to discover why coding is the new “superpower” that isn’t being taught in in 90% of schools. Fortunately, it has never been easier to learn how to code. There many different options to learn to code online for free. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Educational Toys to Introduce Your Child to Technology Every week I hear about another amazing product which teaches kids about technology, programming or engineering. Here’s a list of our favourites, enjoy! Program a Robot Using Wooden Blocks There are a lot of good remote-controlled toys and programable robots around, but most require a computer or iPad to enter the instructions. What I love about Primo is that it’s a physical programming board into which you place wooden pegs to give the robot it’s instructions. This makes a world of difference for young kids learning the basic concepts of programming. Teaching Young Girls to Build In a world where men largely outnumber women in science, technology, engineering and math… and girls lose interest in these subjects as early as age 8. Goldie Blox teaches primary school girls about engineering. Robot Turtles is a Programming-based Board Game Robot Turtles has a sneaky way of teaching kids – as young as preschoolers – the basics of programming. Geek Alphabet Building Blocks
Object Oriented programming Concepts in C++ C++ and Object Oriented Programming Object Oriented programming is a programming style that is associated with the concept of OBJECTS, having datafields and related member functions. Objects are instances of classes and are used to interact amongst each other to create applications. Instance means, the object of class on which we are currently working. C++ can be said to be as C language with classes. In C++ everything revolves around object of class, which have their methods & data members. C++ can be said to be as C language with classes. For Example : We consider human body as a class, we do have multiple objects of this class, with variable as color, hair etc. and methods as walking, speaking etc. Now, let us discuss some of the main features of object oriented programming which you will be using in C++. ObjectsClassesAbstractionEncapsulationInheritanceOverloadingException Handling Objects Objects are the basic unit of OOP. Class It is similar to structures in C language. Abstraction

Mad skier backflips over a highway—and faceplants against the snow I don't mean to sound rude but why does SPLOID get to put their watermark on an animated gif of a video that doesn't belong to them? You don't sound rude. If I spent 30 minutes (and sometimes more) to clean, mask, and optimize a GIF in Photoshop so it's a perfect loop with the minimum size and the highest quality possible, I put a watermark on it, so when people inevitably start uploading it to Reddit and Imgur and Tumblr without linking to us (which is the usual thing and has already happened many times), other people know where it comes from and where they can find more. You will see that we have GIFs in the site that have no watermark because they are just clips taken straight from the video and anyone can do those automatically. Crafting a good GIF, however, is something that requires something else, which is why people pass them around. The video doesn't have any added watermark.
