hello again as you know I am Eli the computer guy over here for every man I
computer guy over here for every man I
computer guy over here for every man I t-dot-com and today’s class is
t-dot-com and today’s class is
t-dot-com and today’s class is introduction to programming so
introduction to programming so
introduction to programming so programming is Wiener you sit down at a
programming is Wiener you sit down at a
programming is Wiener you sit down at a computer you you type out a lot of text
computer you you type out a lot of text
computer you you type out a lot of text or such and that turns into Angry Birds
or such and that turns into Angry Birds
or such and that turns into Angry Birds or QuickBooks or office or an entire
or QuickBooks or office or an entire
or QuickBooks or office or an entire operating system if you are going to be
operating system if you are going to be
operating system if you are going to be in the technology field you do not have
in the technology field you do not have
in the technology field you do not have to be an expert programmer but you
to be an expert programmer but you
to be an expert programmer but you should understand how to do some
should understand how to do some
should understand how to do some programming so so whenever you think
programming so so whenever you think
programming so so whenever you think about programming you know when most
about programming you know when most
about programming you know when most people think about programming again
people think about programming again
people think about programming again they think about Windows 7 or office or
they think about Windows 7 or office or
they think about Windows 7 or office or QuickBooks or these really big massive
QuickBooks or these really big massive
QuickBooks or these really big massive programs well in reality like like with
programs well in reality like like with
programs well in reality like like with what I use you can create very small
what I use you can create very small
what I use you can create very small programs in order to do very specific
programs in order to do very specific
programs in order to do very specific tasks so right now you know the videos
tasks so right now you know the videos
tasks so right now you know the videos that you watch on everyman IT are
that you watch on everyman IT are
that you watch on everyman IT are provided to you from a little 15 line
provided to you from a little 15 line
provided to you from a little 15 line script that I wrote so I wrote this
script that I wrote so I wrote this
script that I wrote so I wrote this little 15 line script with some things
little 15 line script with some things
little 15 line script with some things called variables in it and whenever you
called variables in it and whenever you
called variables in it and whenever you come to one of our pages that has a
come to one of our pages that has a
come to one of our pages that has a video posted on our page on that little
video posted on our page on that little
video posted on our page on that little 15 line piece of code runs and you can
15 line piece of code runs and you can
15 line piece of code runs and you can watch our videos so what I want you to
watch our videos so what I want you to
watch our videos so what I want you to understand is you know when you do
understand is you know when you do
understand is you know when you do programming yes you can create these
programming yes you can create these
programming yes you can create these massive Windows 7 operating systems etc
massive Windows 7 operating systems etc
massive Windows 7 operating systems etc etc etc but the reality is is you can
etc etc but the reality is is you can
etc etc but the reality is is you can create much smaller programs to do very
create much smaller programs to do very
create much smaller programs to do very specific tasks and that can be very very
specific tasks and that can be very very
specific tasks and that can be very very useful for you as a technician so so
useful for you as a technician so so
useful for you as a technician so so when I worked back for one of the
when I worked back for one of the
when I worked back for one of the enterprise companies we had 200 new
enterprise companies we had 200 new
enterprise companies we had 200 new servers that were going in we were
servers that were going in we were
servers that were going in we were installing 200 new servers for our
installing 200 new servers for our
installing 200 new servers for our server farm well every single one of
server farm well every single one of
server farm well every single one of those servers needed a little edit to
those servers needed a little edit to
those servers needed a little edit to the registry to allow something to
the registry to allow something to
the registry to allow something to happen so again I was able to write I
happen so again I was able to write I
happen so again I was able to write I don’t know a 5 or 10 line script that
don’t know a 5 or 10 line script that
don’t know a 5 or 10 line script that would literally go out and on every
would literally go out and on every
would literally go out and on every single server it would automatically
single server it would automatically
single server it would automatically kink that little that registry key in
kink that little that registry key in
kink that little that registry key in order for
order for
order for in order for us to do what we needed to
in order for us to do what we needed to
in order for us to do what we needed to be done so so when you’re thinking about
be done so so when you’re thinking about
be done so so when you’re thinking about programming again don’t always think
programming again don’t always think
programming again don’t always think about the big stuff there’s a lot of
about the big stuff there’s a lot of
about the big stuff there’s a lot of little things that you can do so with
little things that you can do so with
little things that you can do so with this class today we’re not going to be
this class today we’re not going to be
this class today we’re not going to be you know going into actually writing
you know going into actually writing
you know going into actually writing functions and all that kind of stuff
functions and all that kind of stuff
functions and all that kind of stuff we’re just going to be going over the
we’re just going to be going over the
we’re just going to be going over the basic things that you have to understand
basic things that you have to understand
basic things that you have to understand if you are thinking about programming so
if you are thinking about programming so
if you are thinking about programming so we’re going to be talking about things
we’re going to be talking about things
we’re going to be talking about things like programming languages we’re going
like programming languages we’re going
like programming languages we’re going to talk about the difference between
to talk about the difference between
to talk about the difference between compiled and the scripted languages
compiled and the scripted languages
compiled and the scripted languages we’re going to be talking about API s
we’re going to be talking about API s
we’re going to be talking about API s and SDKs prototyping pseudocode the
and SDKs prototyping pseudocode the
and SDKs prototyping pseudocode the types of programmers so if you’re
types of programmers so if you’re
types of programmers so if you’re interested in becoming a programmer
interested in becoming a programmer
interested in becoming a programmer there are different types of programmers
there are different types of programmers
there are different types of programmers out there so we’ll talk about that and
out there so we’ll talk about that and
out there so we’ll talk about that and then we’ll wrap up with some final
then we’ll wrap up with some final
then we’ll wrap up with some final thoughts so this that you know don’t
thoughts so this that you know don’t
thoughts so this that you know don’t don’t worry you know you don’t you don’t
don’t worry you know you don’t you don’t
don’t worry you know you don’t you don’t have to to put your thinking cap on this
have to to put your thinking cap on this
have to to put your thinking cap on this is going to be a very easy class we’re
is going to be a very easy class we’re
is going to be a very easy class we’re just going to go do an overview of what
just going to go do an overview of what
just going to go do an overview of what programming is and give you some of the
programming is and give you some of the
programming is and give you some of the basic concepts that you have to
basic concepts that you have to
basic concepts that you have to understand before you start programming
understand before you start programming
understand before you start programming yourself
so let’s talk about programming
so let’s talk about programming languages so so most people when they
languages so so most people when they
languages so so most people when they think of programmers they just think
think of programmers they just think
think of programmers they just think that any programmer can program anything
that any programmer can program anything
that any programmer can program anything like programmers are programmers
like programmers are programmers
like programmers are programmers programmers program yeah that’s kind of
programmers program yeah that’s kind of
programmers program yeah that’s kind of what they think you know if you know how
what they think you know if you know how
what they think you know if you know how to do programming you can do anything
to do programming you can do anything
to do programming you can do anything well just like every other profession in
well just like every other profession in
well just like every other profession in technology programming is actually
technology programming is actually
technology programming is actually divided into a lot of different sub
divided into a lot of different sub
divided into a lot of different sub professions or sub careers the reason is
professions or sub careers the reason is
professions or sub careers the reason is is because basically what programming
is because basically what programming
is because basically what programming does is you as a programmer write out in
does is you as a programmer write out in
does is you as a programmer write out in a type of code that’s called human
a type of code that’s called human
a type of code that’s called human readable so you type out you know if x
readable so you type out you know if x
readable so you type out you know if x equals 2 then print 12 you know you you
equals 2 then print 12 you know you you
equals 2 then print 12 you know you you type out what you want to have happen
type out what you want to have happen
type out what you want to have happen and then the programming language then
and then the programming language then
and then the programming language then it turns that into something that the
it turns that into something that the
it turns that into something that the computer can do something with so so you
computer can do something with so so you
computer can do something with so so you type in what’s called a human readable
type in what’s called a human readable
type in what’s called a human readable language and then the either the
language and then the either the
language and then the either the compiler or the script interpreter turns
compiler or the script interpreter turns
compiler or the script interpreter turns that into ones and zeros that the
that into ones and zeros that the
that into ones and zeros that the computers can understand so remember a
computers can understand so remember a
computers can understand so remember a computer only understands on and off 1 &
computer only understands on and off 1 &
computer only understands on and off 1 & 0 it does not understand if then loop x
0 it does not understand if then loop x
0 it does not understand if then loop x equals it doesn’t understand that it
equals it doesn’t understand that it
equals it doesn’t understand that it understands on and understands off so
understands on and understands off so
understands on and understands off so what you’re doing is you create your
what you’re doing is you create your
what you’re doing is you create your programming something called human
programming something called human
programming something called human readable and then that gets turned into
readable and then that gets turned into
readable and then that gets turned into ones and zeros now when it gets turned
ones and zeros now when it gets turned
ones and zeros now when it gets turned into ones and zeros different
into ones and zeros different
into ones and zeros different programming languages allow this to
programming languages allow this to
programming languages allow this to happen in different ways so if you want
happen in different ways so if you want
happen in different ways so if you want let’s say create a device drivers so
let’s say create a device drivers so
let’s say create a device drivers so you’re going to create a driver for a
you’re going to create a driver for a
you’re going to create a driver for a modem you would probably use something
modem you would probably use something
modem you would probably use something called C plus that is used for doing
called C plus that is used for doing
called C plus that is used for doing device drivers if you were going to
device drivers if you were going to
device drivers if you were going to create a web database application you
create a web database application you
create a web database application you would use a programming language called
would use a programming language called
would use a programming language called PHP so this particular language is best
PHP so this particular language is best
PHP so this particular language is best suited for for sending and pulling data
suited for for sending and pulling data
suited for for sending and pulling data from a database so think about
from a database so think about
from a database so think about programming languages the way you would
programming languages the way you would
programming languages the way you would think about any other program that you
think about any other program that you
think about any other program that you use on the computer
use on the computer
use on the computer so you would not go and do QuickBooks to
so you would not go and do QuickBooks to
so you would not go and do QuickBooks to write a report you probably even
write a report you probably even
write a report you probably even couldn’t even do it if you wanted to
couldn’t even do it if you wanted to
couldn’t even do it if you wanted to just like with programming languages you
just like with programming languages you
just like with programming languages you could not write a device driver with PHP
could not write a device driver with PHP
could not write a device driver with PHP PHP is used for web-based
PHP is used for web-based
PHP is used for web-based database applications that’s all that
database applications that’s all that
database applications that’s all that can be used for you can’t use it to
can be used for you can’t use it to
can be used for you can’t use it to write device drivers it simply can’t do
write device drivers it simply can’t do
write device drivers it simply can’t do that I mean the same is true you
that I mean the same is true you
that I mean the same is true you wouldn’t go into word to draw a picture
wouldn’t go into word to draw a picture
wouldn’t go into word to draw a picture it’s just not built for that
it’s just not built for that
it’s just not built for that so when we’re talking about programming
so when we’re talking about programming
so when we’re talking about programming language is is again programming
language is is again programming
language is is again programming languages are like any other application
languages are like any other application
languages are like any other application you would use on the computer
you would use on the computer
you would use on the computer each programming language is used to do
each programming language is used to do
each programming language is used to do a specific type of program so PHP is
a specific type of program so PHP is
a specific type of program so PHP is used for for you know I say web-based
used for for you know I say web-based
used for for you know I say web-based database applications you can program
database applications you can program
database applications you can program for flash so you know all those fancy
for flash so you know all those fancy
for flash so you know all those fancy graphics that you see on websites
graphics that you see on websites
graphics that you see on websites there’s a programming language that
there’s a programming language that
there’s a programming language that allows you to interact with those things
allows you to interact with those things
allows you to interact with those things if you wanted to create an application
if you wanted to create an application
if you wanted to create an application like QuickBooks or something like Word
like QuickBooks or something like Word
like QuickBooks or something like Word you might use a programming language
you might use a programming language
you might use a programming language called a visual basic or the visual
called a visual basic or the visual
called a visual basic or the visual studio if you were going to be trying to
studio if you were going to be trying to
studio if you were going to be trying to create programs that are that are
create programs that are that are
create programs that are that are cross-platform you know they can run on
cross-platform you know they can run on
cross-platform you know they can run on Linux and they can rack we’re on a Mac
Linux and they can rack we’re on a Mac
Linux and they can rack we’re on a Mac and they can run on Windows you might
and they can run on Windows you might
and they can run on Windows you might use a programming language called Java
use a programming language called Java
use a programming language called Java why because Java allows you to do that
why because Java allows you to do that
why because Java allows you to do that so the main thing that I want you to
so the main thing that I want you to
so the main thing that I want you to understand with these programming
understand with these programming
understand with these programming languages is each programming language
languages is each programming language
languages is each programming language is designed to do a certain set of
is designed to do a certain set of
is designed to do a certain set of functions very well so when you are
functions very well so when you are
functions very well so when you are deciding to write your program basically
deciding to write your program basically
deciding to write your program basically what you have to do is you have to
what you have to do is you have to
what you have to do is you have to decide what you want your program to do
decide what you want your program to do
decide what you want your program to do and then once you’ve figured it out what
and then once you’ve figured it out what
and then once you’ve figured it out what you want it to do then you figure out
you want it to do then you figure out
you want it to do then you figure out the language that you need to learn or
the language that you need to learn or
the language that you need to learn or you need to use in order to create the
you need to use in order to create the
you need to use in order to create the program so so don’t think you know oh
program so so don’t think you know oh
program so so don’t think you know oh I’m going to learn PHP and then I’m
I’m going to learn PHP and then I’m
I’m going to learn PHP and then I’m going to write my own operating system
going to write my own operating system
going to write my own operating system PHP again it just doesn’t do it and the
PHP again it just doesn’t do it and the
PHP again it just doesn’t do it and the main thing with programming language is
main thing with programming language is
main thing with programming language is to understand is what you’re going to be
to understand is what you’re going to be
to understand is what you’re going to be doing is you’re going to be taking what
doing is you’re going to be taking what
doing is you’re going to be taking what is called human readable code so you
is called human readable code so you
is called human readable code so you actually type out with a text editor or
actually type out with a text editor or
actually type out with a text editor or these compilers you type out what you
these compilers you type out what you
these compilers you type out what you want the code to do and then that
want the code to do and then that
want the code to do and then that compiler or what’s called an interpreter
compiler or what’s called an interpreter
compiler or what’s called an interpreter turns that into ones and zeroes ons and
turns that into ones and zeroes ons and
turns that into ones and zeroes ons and offs that that’s all the computer cares
offs that that’s all the computer cares
offs that that’s all the computer cares about so that’s the basic thing to
about so that’s the basic thing to
about so that’s the basic thing to understand with programming languages a
understand with programming languages a
understand with programming languages a lot of people get confused remember just
lot of people get confused remember just
lot of people get confused remember just like any other application a programming
like any other application a programming
like any other application a programming language is built to do specific tasks
language is built to do specific tasks
language is built to do specific tasks you would not use QuickBooks to write a
you would not use QuickBooks to write a
you would not use QuickBooks to write a report you would not use Microsoft Word
report you would not use Microsoft Word
report you would not use Microsoft Word to draw a picture it’s just not built
to draw a picture it’s just not built
to draw a picture it’s just not built that way
that way
that way same way programming languages PHP web

so the next terms that you should
so the next terms that you should understand when we’re talking about
understand when we’re talking about
understand when we’re talking about programming languages are compiled
programming languages are compiled
programming languages are compiled programming languages and scripted
programming languages and scripted
programming languages and scripted programming languages so what does this
programming languages so what does this
programming languages so what does this mean
mean
mean well basically compiled programming
well basically compiled programming
well basically compiled programming languages are the oldest programming
languages are the oldest programming
languages are the oldest programming languages and basically what happens is
languages and basically what happens is
languages and basically what happens is you write out your code you know if this
you write out your code you know if this
you write out your code you know if this happens then do this print this etc etc
happens then do this print this etc etc
happens then do this print this etc etc etc you then open up a compiler so a
etc you then open up a compiler so a
etc you then open up a compiler so a compiler is an application it’s a piece
compiler is an application it’s a piece
compiler is an application it’s a piece of software you’ll have on your computer
of software you’ll have on your computer
of software you’ll have on your computer you then feed the compiler your so
you then feed the compiler your so
you then feed the compiler your so source code so that human readable code
source code so that human readable code
source code so that human readable code that you’ve just created you feed that
that you’ve just created you feed that
that you’ve just created you feed that to the compiler the compiler turns that
to the compiler the compiler turns that
to the compiler the compiler turns that into ones and zeros that the computer
into ones and zeros that the computer
into ones and zeros that the computer understands and then it spits out a
understands and then it spits out a
understands and then it spits out a program on the other side so an
program on the other side so an
program on the other side so an executable file so you put in all this
executable file so you put in all this
executable file so you put in all this text the the compiler turns all that
text the the compiler turns all that
text the the compiler turns all that text into ones and zeros and spits out
text into ones and zeros and spits out
text into ones and zeros and spits out an executable program so that program
an executable program so that program
an executable program so that program you can then double click or however you
you can then double click or however you
you can then double click or however you run it on your computer and it will run
run it on your computer and it will run
run it on your computer and it will run that way it is now a compiled program
that way it is now a compiled program
that way it is now a compiled program that’s what compilers do they turn human
that’s what compilers do they turn human
that’s what compilers do they turn human readable text into compile programs then
readable text into compile programs then
readable text into compile programs then there are scripting languages with
there are scripting languages with
there are scripting languages with scripting languages do is you don’t
scripting languages do is you don’t
scripting languages do is you don’t actually compile the code so you write
actually compile the code so you write
actually compile the code so you write out all of your code so you know if this
out all of your code so you know if this
out all of your code so you know if this happens then do this then print this you
happens then do this then print this you
happens then do this then print this you write that out you then simply put that
write that out you then simply put that
write that out you then simply put that text on to the server or computer that
text on to the server or computer that
text on to the server or computer that is going to be running the code you
is going to be running the code you
is going to be running the code you install something called an interpreter
install something called an interpreter
install something called an interpreter onto the computer and then that
onto the computer and then that
onto the computer and then that interpreter reads the code and then
interpreter reads the code and then
interpreter reads the code and then spits out the results to whoever is
spits out the results to whoever is
spits out the results to whoever is using the program so if you ever hear of
using the program so if you ever hear of
using the program so if you ever hear of batch files visual basic script
batch files visual basic script
batch files visual basic script JavaScript PHP HTML any of these types

JavaScript PHP HTML any of these types of programming languages you actually
of programming languages you actually
of programming languages you actually sit down at a text editor you write out
sit down at a text editor you write out
sit down at a text editor you write out all this text you put that file on to
all this text you put that file on to

your server
your server then let’s say let’s say we’re talking
then let’s say let’s say we’re talking
then let’s say let’s say we’re talking about a PHP program so when I write PHP
about a PHP program so when I write PHP
about a PHP program so when I write PHP programs I write out all the text
programs I write out all the text
programs I write out all the text literally in notepad I then upload that

that the file says should happen so the
that the file says should happen so the main thing to understand when you’re
main thing to understand when you’re
main thing to understand when you’re talking about compiled languages or
talking about compiled languages or
talking about compiled languages or scripted languages compiled languages
scripted languages compiled languages
scripted languages compiled languages mean you take all that human readable
mean you take all that human readable
mean you take all that human readable code you dump it into the compiler it
code you dump it into the compiler it
code you dump it into the compiler it spits out an executable file so the file
spits out an executable file so the file
spits out an executable file so the file that spits out you know that’s all just
that spits out you know that’s all just
that spits out you know that’s all just ones and zeros scripted languages
ones and zeros scripted languages
ones and zeros scripted languages everything remains as text you install
everything remains as text you install
everything remains as text you install an interpreter onto the computer that is
an interpreter onto the computer that is
an interpreter onto the computer that is going to be running in that scripted
going to be running in that scripted
going to be running in that scripted language so you install PHP Visual Basic
language so you install PHP Visual Basic
language so you install PHP Visual Basic or windows script host something like
or windows script host something like
or windows script host something like that onto the computer and then when you
that onto the computer and then when you
that onto the computer and then when you run the program that interpreter will
run the program that interpreter will
run the program that interpreter will read the code that you’ve given it and
read the code that you’ve given it and
read the code that you’ve given it and then provide you with the results so so
then provide you with the results so so
then provide you with the results so so this is something to understand but
this is something to understand but
this is something to understand but between compiled and scripted computer
between compiled and scripted computer
between compiled and scripted computer languages

program actually works so what they do
program actually works so what they do is they create what are called a pee
is they create what are called a pee
is they create what are called a pee eyes and these are basically points
eyes and these are basically points
eyes and these are basically points where your program can connect to their
where your program can connect to their
where your program can connect to their program and they can exchange data so
program and they can exchange data so
program and they can exchange data so basically any of these api’s that are
basically any of these api’s that are
basically any of these api’s that are created you can interact with if they’re
created you can interact with if they’re

you know write or print the last post
you know write or print the last post from Eli computer guy and so you would
from Eli computer guy and so you would

happens is you can interact with those
happens is you can interact with those those api’s have called application
those api’s have called application
those api’s have called application programming interfaces you don’t get
programming interfaces you don’t get

this a couple of times to everybody chagrin the other thing is like I say
chagrin the other thing is like I say
chagrin the other thing is like I say you have to play by their rules so
you have to play by their rules so
you have to play by their rules so whether you’re dealing with Google or
whether you’re dealing with Google or
whether you’re dealing with Google or Twitter etc they will come up with their
Twitter etc they will come up with their

doing the next thing is SDKs or software
doing the next thing is SDKs or software development kits a lot like api’s but
development kits a lot like api’s but
development kits a lot like api’s but basically so we have these new devices
basically so we have these new devices
basically so we have these new devices coming out iphones ipads i this I that
coming out iphones ipads i this I that
coming out iphones ipads i this I that zooms whatever basically what SDKs are
zooms whatever basically what SDKs are
zooms whatever basically what SDKs are or are their kits that allow you to be
or are their kits that allow you to be
or are their kits that allow you to be able to program for the device that
able to program for the device that
able to program for the device that you’re trying to program for so they
you’re trying to program for so they
you’re trying to program for so they come with a lot of special tools they
come with a lot of special tools they
come with a lot of special tools they come with things like what are called
come with things like what are called
come with things like what are called emulators so emulators are kind of like
emulators so emulators are kind of like
emulators so emulators are kind of like like fake devices so you can have a like
like fake devices so you can have a like
like fake devices so you can have a like a little Android phone pop up on your
a little Android phone pop up on your
a little Android phone pop up on your computer and you can create a program
computer and you can create a program
computer and you can create a program for that little fake Android phone to
for that little fake Android phone to
for that little fake Android phone to make sure that it works properly you
make sure that it works properly you
make sure that it works properly you know if I push this button what will
know if I push this button what will
know if I push this button what will happen so these software development
happen so these software development
happen so these software development kits basically what they do is they
kits basically what they do is they
kits basically what they do is they package all the information and all the
package all the information and all the
package all the information and all the tools that you need in order to program
tools that you need in order to program
tools that you need in order to program for a device and they well they either
for a device and they well they either
for a device and they well they either give it to you or they they sell it to
give it to you or they they sell it to
give it to you or they they sell it to you depending on who you’re dealing with
you depending on who you’re dealing with
you depending on who you’re dealing with sometimes like for the Android system
sometimes like for the Android system
sometimes like for the Android system the SDKs are completely free for other
the SDKs are completely free for other
the SDKs are completely free for other systems they’re they’re gonna cost you
systems they’re they’re gonna cost you
systems they’re they’re gonna cost you quite a bit of money but basically the
quite a bit of money but basically the
quite a bit of money but basically the the SDKs software development kits are
the SDKs software development kits are
the SDKs software development kits are kits that allow you to program for
kits that allow you to program for
kits that allow you to program for particular devices so again api’s SDKs
particular devices so again api’s SDKs
particular devices so again api’s SDKs at this point you don’t have to worry
at this point you don’t have to worry
at this point you don’t have to worry about them a lot but it’s good to
about them a lot but it’s good to
about them a lot but it’s good to understand
so the next thing I want to talk about
so the next thing I want to talk about is the first step in the programming
is the first step in the programming
is the first step in the programming process so you’ve thought about what
process so you’ve thought about what
process so you’ve thought about what program you want to create let’s say you
program you want to create let’s say you
program you want to create let’s say you want to create some kind of web
want to create some kind of web
want to create some kind of web application
application
application well after you thought that you want to
well after you thought that you want to
well after you thought that you want to start creating some web application you
start creating some web application you
start creating some web application you are going to want to do prototyping so
are going to want to do prototyping so
are going to want to do prototyping so what prototyping is is where you sit
what prototyping is is where you sit
what prototyping is is where you sit down and on plain old pieces of paper or
down and on plain old pieces of paper or
down and on plain old pieces of paper or with something a program like Visio or
with something a program like Visio or
with something a program like Visio or such you sit there and you actually
such you sit there and you actually
such you sit there and you actually sketch out what you want the program to
sketch out what you want the program to
sketch out what you want the program to do so basically let’s say where we have
do so basically let’s say where we have
do so basically let’s say where we have a program that we want to collect
a program that we want to collect
a program that we want to collect people’s email addresses you know it’s
people’s email addresses you know it’s
people’s email addresses you know it’s kind of like you know with you everyman
kind of like you know with you everyman
kind of like you know with you everyman IT comm here we have a little newsletter
IT comm here we have a little newsletter
IT comm here we have a little newsletter link if you want our newsletter you put
link if you want our newsletter you put
link if you want our newsletter you put in the email address you click Submit
in the email address you click Submit
in the email address you click Submit and that submits the data into our
and that submits the data into our
and that submits the data into our database so if we’re going to prototype
database so if we’re going to prototype
database so if we’re going to prototype this on a piece of paper or on a
this on a piece of paper or on a
this on a piece of paper or on a whiteboard we would simply you know draw
whiteboard we would simply you know draw
whiteboard we would simply you know draw out and we would say okay I want to have
out and we would say okay I want to have
out and we would say okay I want to have a box and I want the box to have an
a box and I want the box to have an
a box and I want the box to have an email address no place for somebody put
email address no place for somebody put
email address no place for somebody put an email address and above it it’ll say
an email address and above it it’ll say
an email address and above it it’ll say email and below it it will say submit
email and below it it will say submit
email and below it it will say submit and I write it out like I say on a piece
and I write it out like I say on a piece
and I write it out like I say on a piece of paper or on a whiteboard like this
of paper or on a whiteboard like this
of paper or on a whiteboard like this then if this is what’s going to happen
then if this is what’s going to happen
then if this is what’s going to happen then I would write out here and I would
then I would write out here and I would
then I would write out here and I would just put for you know when you hit
just put for you know when you hit
just put for you know when you hit submit that then goes into the database
submit that then goes into the database
submit that then goes into the database and that’s all you do basically with
and that’s all you do basically with
and that’s all you do basically with prototyping you literally on a piece of
prototyping you literally on a piece of
prototyping you literally on a piece of paper right out or draw out how you want
paper right out or draw out how you want
paper right out or draw out how you want this application to work and you write
this application to work and you write
this application to work and you write it out so that later you can have an
it out so that later you can have an
it out so that later you can have an idea of how you were actually going to
idea of how you were actually going to
idea of how you were actually going to be programming this thing the biggest
be programming this thing the biggest
be programming this thing the biggest problem with programming is that most
problem with programming is that most
problem with programming is that most people don’t understand what they
people don’t understand what they
people don’t understand what they actually want to do so so they get you
actually want to do so so they get you
actually want to do so so they get you know they they sit down and they write
know they they sit down and they write
know they they sit down and they write half a program and they find out that
half a program and they find out that
half a program and they find out that that what they written isn’t going to
that what they written isn’t going to
that what they written isn’t going to end up doing what they want to do so
end up doing what they want to do so
end up doing what they want to do so they scrap that and then they write
they scrap that and then they write
they scrap that and then they write another half a program then find out
another half a program then find out
another half a program then find out that’s not what they want to do so they
that’s not what they want to do so they
that’s not what they want to do so they scrap that we’re in another program
scrap that we’re in another program
scrap that we’re in another program basically the first thing that you want
basically the first thing that you want
basically the first thing that you want to do
to do
to do is do prototyping where you draw
is do prototyping where you draw
is do prototyping where you draw everything out so that you understand
everything out so that you understand
everything out so that you understand what you want this application do like I
what you want this application do like I
what you want this application do like I say even even this little email thing
say even even this little email thing
say even even this little email thing here this can probably take five or six
here this can probably take five or six
here this can probably take five or six pages just to write out how everything
pages just to write out how everything
pages just to write out how everything is going to work so for this let’s say
is going to work so for this let’s say
is going to work so for this let’s say this is this is the the submit the email
this is this is the the submit the email
this is this is the the submit the email so they put in their email address you
so they put in their email address you
so they put in their email address you hit submit and it goes to the database
hit submit and it goes to the database
hit submit and it goes to the database well then if we have a report section so
well then if we have a report section so
well then if we have a report section so let’s say I want an admin page and then
let’s say I want an admin page and then
let’s say I want an admin page and then under that I would have a report button
under that I would have a report button
under that I would have a report button and if I click the report button that
and if I click the report button that
and if I click the report button that would have to go to the database and
would have to go to the database and
would have to go to the database and then that would have to print out a
then that would have to print out a
then that would have to print out a report with all the email addresses in
report with all the email addresses in
report with all the email addresses in it basically this can get really
it basically this can get really
it basically this can get really confusing and we’re going to go into
confusing and we’re going to go into
confusing and we’re going to go into this more as we actually start creating
this more as we actually start creating
this more as we actually start creating programs but the main thing to
programs but the main thing to
programs but the main thing to understand is all prototype enos is on a
understand is all prototype enos is on a
understand is all prototype enos is on a whiteboard or a piece of paper you
whiteboard or a piece of paper you
whiteboard or a piece of paper you actually just simply draw out there’s
actually just simply draw out there’s
actually just simply draw out there’s there’s no complicated stuff here you
there’s no complicated stuff here you
there’s no complicated stuff here you simply draw out how you want this
simply draw out how you want this
simply draw out how you want this program to work
so once we’ve drawn out the prototype of
so once we’ve drawn out the prototype of how we want our little program to work
how we want our little program to work
how we want our little program to work we need to start working on something
we need to start working on something
we need to start working on something called pseudocode so what is pseudocode
called pseudocode so what is pseudocode
called pseudocode so what is pseudocode pseudocode is when you simply write out
pseudocode is when you simply write out
pseudocode is when you simply write out longhand how you want the program to
longhand how you want the program to
longhand how you want the program to function how you want different
function how you want different
function how you want different operations to happen so let’s say we’re
operations to happen so let’s say we’re
operations to happen so let’s say we’re talking about this newsletter program
talking about this newsletter program
talking about this newsletter program again so we have this text box and we
again so we have this text box and we
again so we have this text box and we have the submit button right so
have the submit button right so
have the submit button right so basically if we’re going to write
basically if we’re going to write
basically if we’re going to write pseudocode for the submit button so we
pseudocode for the submit button so we
pseudocode for the submit button so we want to say when I click the submit
want to say when I click the submit
want to say when I click the submit button what do I want to have happen so
button what do I want to have happen so
button what do I want to have happen so we would say when I click Submit email
we would say when I click Submit email
we would say when I click Submit email address and text box should be added to
address and text box should be added to
address and text box should be added to the email database so basically all we
the email database so basically all we
the email database so basically all we do is rewrite out like that like I said
do is rewrite out like that like I said
do is rewrite out like that like I said like this in longhand we write out what
like this in longhand we write out what
like this in longhand we write out what we want this what we want to have happen
we want this what we want to have happen
we want this what we want to have happen when we click Submit when I click the
when we click Submit when I click the
when we click Submit when I click the submit button the email address and the
submit button the email address and the
submit button the email address and the tax book should be added to the email
tax book should be added to the email
tax book should be added to the email database this does two things for us one
database this does two things for us one
database this does two things for us one it makes us start thinking about the
it makes us start thinking about the
it makes us start thinking about the process that we want to have happen
process that we want to have happen
process that we want to have happen before we actually get into the code
before we actually get into the code
before we actually get into the code actually writing out the code and it
actually writing out the code and it
actually writing out the code and it allows us to decide what programming
allows us to decide what programming
allows us to decide what programming language we’re going to be using so if
language we’re going to be using so if
language we’re going to be using so if this is going to be a web based
this is going to be a web based
this is going to be a web based application going to and do a database I
application going to and do a database I
application going to and do a database I can say we will probably be using the
can say we will probably be using the
can say we will probably be using the PHP programming language you know if I
PHP programming language you know if I
PHP programming language you know if I write all this out I know it’s not gonna
write all this out I know it’s not gonna
write all this out I know it’s not gonna be Java Script I know it’s not going to
be Java Script I know it’s not going to
be Java Script I know it’s not going to be HTML we’re gonna get into that later
be HTML we’re gonna get into that later
be HTML we’re gonna get into that later but basically by writing the pseudocode
but basically by writing the pseudocode
but basically by writing the pseudocode I can say okay the programming language
I can say okay the programming language
I can say okay the programming language is I’m going to need is PHP the other
is I’m going to need is PHP the other
is I’m going to need is PHP the other thing again as we go into the more
thing again as we go into the more
thing again as we go into the more advanced topics with doing programming
advanced topics with doing programming
advanced topics with doing programming is by writing this out before we’re
is by writing this out before we’re
is by writing this out before we’re worried about the poor actually
worried about the poor actually
worried about the poor actually programming in the language it’s easier
programming in the language it’s easier
programming in the language it’s easier to understand the logical ideas of what
to understand the logical ideas of what
to understand the logical ideas of what are going
are going
are going be happening in this process so when you
be happening in this process so when you
be happening in this process so when you write it out like I say you can think
write it out like I say you can think
write it out like I say you can think you can simply think about what you want
you can simply think about what you want
you can simply think about what you want to have happen and you’re not actually
to have happen and you’re not actually
to have happen and you’re not actually thinking about code right now so this is
thinking about code right now so this is
thinking about code right now so this is very important so basically the next
very important so basically the next
very important so basically the next step in the process what you do the
step in the process what you do the
step in the process what you do the first thing is you you think about what
first thing is you you think about what
first thing is you you think about what you want to create you come up with an
you want to create you come up with an
you want to create you come up with an idea hey I wish I could get people’s
idea hey I wish I could get people’s
idea hey I wish I could get people’s email addresses then you create
email addresses then you create
email addresses then you create prototyping where you actually you know
prototyping where you actually you know
prototyping where you actually you know like I say on a whiteboard or pieces of
like I say on a whiteboard or pieces of
like I say on a whiteboard or pieces of paper you draw out what you want to have
paper you draw out what you want to have
paper you draw out what you want to have happen then after that for each thing
happen then after that for each thing
happen then after that for each thing that you want to have happen you would
that you want to have happen you would
that you want to have happen you would then write pseudocode and pseudocode
then write pseudocode and pseudocode
then write pseudocode and pseudocode like I say is just you just write out
like I say is just you just write out
like I say is just you just write out longhand what you want to have happen
longhand what you want to have happen
longhand what you want to have happen now past this is where we’ll get into
now past this is where we’ll get into
now past this is where we’ll get into actual classes on programming so we’ll
actual classes on programming so we’ll
actual classes on programming so we’ll have classes on PHP and JavaScript in
have classes on PHP and JavaScript in
have classes on PHP and JavaScript in HTML so past this is then where you turn
HTML so past this is then where you turn
HTML so past this is then where you turn this idea into an actual program into an
this idea into an actual program into an
this idea into an actual program into an actual application so this is as far as
actual application so this is as far as
actual application so this is as far as we’re gonna go today like I say more
we’re gonna go today like I say more
we’re gonna go today like I say more advanced classes we’re gonna talk about
advanced classes we’re gonna talk about
advanced classes we’re gonna talk about more but these these are very very
more but these these are very very
more but these these are very very important steps like I say too many
important steps like I say too many
important steps like I say too many people don’t spend enough time on
people don’t spend enough time on
people don’t spend enough time on prototyping too many people don’t spend
prototyping too many people don’t spend
prototyping too many people don’t spend enough time on pseudocode and if you
enough time on pseudocode and if you
enough time on pseudocode and if you don’t write out what you want to have
don’t write out what you want to have
don’t write out what you want to have happen then it’s really really difficult
happen then it’s really really difficult
happen then it’s really really difficult to actually program this stuff later
so the final subject we’re going to talk
so the final subject we’re going to talk about today are the types of programmers
about today are the types of programmers
about today are the types of programmers out there because like I say you know
out there because like I say you know
out there because like I say you know everybody when they come into the the
everybody when they come into the the
everybody when they come into the the technology field or the computer field
technology field or the computer field
technology field or the computer field they say you know I want to do computers
they say you know I want to do computers
they say you know I want to do computers you know I want to do programming and
you know I want to do programming and
you know I want to do programming and they don’t realize that there are a lot
they don’t realize that there are a lot
they don’t realize that there are a lot of sub professions in the technology
of sub professions in the technology
of sub professions in the technology field so you know if you’re gonna come
field so you know if you’re gonna come
field so you know if you’re gonna come into computers you know IT information
into computers you know IT information
into computers you know IT information technology like I do well you can fix
technology like I do well you can fix
technology like I do well you can fix computers or you could fix servers or
computers or you could fix servers or
computers or you could fix servers or you could do networking or you can do
you could do networking or you can do
you could do networking or you can do telephone systems or you do surveillance
telephone systems or you do surveillance
telephone systems or you do surveillance systems or you know there’s a whole
systems or you know there’s a whole
systems or you know there’s a whole bunch of stuff that all requires its own
bunch of stuff that all requires its own
bunch of stuff that all requires its own skill set the same is true with
skill set the same is true with
skill set the same is true with programmers a programmer is not a
programmers a programmer is not a
programmers a programmer is not a programmer they all program but they all
programmer they all program but they all
programmer they all program but they all do different things so the first type of
do different things so the first type of
do different things so the first type of programmer and probably the easiest one
programmer and probably the easiest one
programmer and probably the easiest one for you to get into is what is called a
for you to get into is what is called a
for you to get into is what is called a web programmer so so when you go to a
web programmer so so when you go to a
web programmer so so when you go to a web site and all these kind of fancy
web site and all these kind of fancy
web site and all these kind of fancy stuff happens on the website that is
stuff happens on the website that is
stuff happens on the website that is something that a web programmer does so
something that a web programmer does so
something that a web programmer does so basically web programmers program
basically web programmers program
basically web programmers program applications that run on the web things
applications that run on the web things
applications that run on the web things like grabbing people’s email addresses
like grabbing people’s email addresses
like grabbing people’s email addresses you know presenting websites in a
you know presenting websites in a
you know presenting websites in a certain way that kind of stuff this type
certain way that kind of stuff this type
certain way that kind of stuff this type of thing you can learn at home and you
of thing you can learn at home and you
of thing you can learn at home and you can actually produce real professional
can actually produce real professional
can actually produce real professional stuff like I say just just right out of
stuff like I say just just right out of
stuff like I say just just right out of your house with no real professional
your house with no real professional
your house with no real professional training you just get a few books you
training you just get a few books you
training you just get a few books you understand how all of it works and you
understand how all of it works and you
understand how all of it works and you can go out there and you can start and
can go out there and you can start and
can go out there and you can start and become your own web programmer the next
become your own web programmer the next
become your own web programmer the next type of programmer is more like the
type of programmer is more like the
type of programmer is more like the programmer programmer the the
programmer programmer the the
programmer programmer the the programmers that you would be thinking
programmers that you would be thinking
programmers that you would be thinking about these people you know would be
about these people you know would be
about these people you know would be creating things like device drivers very
creating things like device drivers very
creating things like device drivers very complicated programs so basically with a
complicated programs so basically with a
complicated programs so basically with a web programmer you can create a web
web programmer you can create a web
web programmer you can create a web program in a couple of hours maybe a
program in a couple of hours maybe a
program in a couple of hours maybe a week maybe two weeks you know if you
week maybe two weeks you know if you
week maybe two weeks you know if you just sit down and do it it usually does
just sit down and do it it usually does
just sit down and do it it usually does not take that long for most web programs
not take that long for most web programs
not take that long for most web programs programmer programmers if you’re
programmer programmers if you’re
programmer programmers if you’re creating things like device drivers for
creating things like device drivers for
creating things like device drivers for a modem or for a video card you’re
a modem or for a video card you’re
a modem or for a video card you’re creating applications like Quickbook
creating applications like Quickbook
creating applications like Quickbook Microsoft Office those things take a lot
Microsoft Office those things take a lot
Microsoft Office those things take a lot of time so programmers are the guys that
of time so programmers are the guys that
of time so programmers are the guys that just stand or sit in front of a monitor
just stand or sit in front of a monitor
just stand or sit in front of a monitor for eight to ten hours a day
for eight to ten hours a day
for eight to ten hours a day drinking their jolt colas and just just
drinking their jolt colas and just just
drinking their jolt colas and just just writing code so so those are the people
writing code so so those are the people
writing code so so those are the people like the the real serious programmers
like the the real serious programmers
like the the real serious programmers you know that’s what they’re like they
you know that’s what they’re like they
you know that’s what they’re like they would be learning programming languages
would be learning programming languages
would be learning programming languages like C plus C sharp Java etc then beyond
like C plus C sharp Java etc then beyond
like C plus C sharp Java etc then beyond programmers that are the highest level
programmers that are the highest level
programmers that are the highest level of what are called software engineers so
of what are called software engineers so
of what are called software engineers so you know when you’re creating one little
you know when you’re creating one little
you know when you’re creating one little program that takes a lot of skill and it
program that takes a lot of skill and it
program that takes a lot of skill and it takes a lot of energy well when you
takes a lot of energy well when you
takes a lot of energy well when you create massive pieces of software you
create massive pieces of software you
create massive pieces of software you actually need a lot of engineering you
actually need a lot of engineering you
actually need a lot of engineering you need project management skills in order
need project management skills in order
need project management skills in order to make this happen so software
to make this happen so software
to make this happen so software engineers will be working on like these
engineers will be working on like these
engineers will be working on like these large cluster computers things like that
large cluster computers things like that
large cluster computers things like that so this is basically just just a simple
so this is basically just just a simple
so this is basically just just a simple idea to give you that there are
idea to give you that there are
idea to give you that there are different types of programmers again you

you know she’d go off and get a computer
you know she’d go off and get a computer science degree this will allow you to

create the programs that you’re used to thinking about again device drivers
thinking about again device drivers
thinking about again device drivers QuickBooks that kind of stuff and then
QuickBooks that kind of stuff and then
QuickBooks that kind of stuff and then there’s the software engineer software
there’s the software engineer software
there’s the software engineer software engineers create big programs I mean

programming languages are built to do different things if you spend a year
different things if you spend a year
different things if you spend a year learning to do I know C+ programming
learning to do I know C+ programming
learning to do I know C+ programming that’s not gonna help you create web
that’s not gonna help you create web
that’s not gonna help you create web database applications it’s simply not
database applications it’s simply not

what’s going to teach you to do that so
what’s going to teach you to do that so every programming language is like an
every programming language is like an
every programming language is like an application that you would use on your
application that you would use on your
application that you would use on your normal computer just like window just
normal computer just like window just
normal computer just like window just like like word or just like QuickBooks
like like word or just like QuickBooks
like like word or just like QuickBooks different programming languages are
different programming languages are
different programming languages are built to do specific things you would
built to do specific things you would
built to do specific things you would not use QuickBooks to try to write a
not use QuickBooks to try to write a
not use QuickBooks to try to write a report for school it’s simply not built
report for school it’s simply not built
report for school it’s simply not built that for that again you would not use
that for that again you would not use
that for that again you would not use PHP to write a device driver you would
PHP to write a device driver you would
PHP to write a device driver you would not use C+ to write a web-based
not use C+ to write a web-based
not use C+ to write a web-based application those programming languages
application those programming languages
application those programming languages simply are not built to do those things
simply are not built to do those things
simply are not built to do those things we talked about the compiled versus the
we talked about the compiled versus the
we talked about the compiled versus the scripted languages so compiled is where
scripted languages so compiled is where
scripted languages so compiled is where you take the source code that human
you take the source code that human
you take the source code that human readable code you shove it into a
readable code you shove it into a
readable code you shove it into a compiler and then it spits out this
compiler and then it spits out this
compiler and then it spits out this executable file with ones and zeros so
executable file with ones and zeros so
executable file with ones and zeros so it compiles your your source code into a
it compiles your your source code into a
it compiles your your source code into a program versus a scripted language where
program versus a scripted language where
program versus a scripted language where your source source code always remains a
your source source code always remains a
your source source code always remains a text file so you upload a text file to
text file so you upload a text file to
text file so you upload a text file to your server you install the interpreter
your server you install the interpreter
your server you install the interpreter onto your server and then the
onto your server and then the
onto your server and then the interpreter reads the code and then
interpreter reads the code and then
interpreter reads the code and then spits out the results so again like I
spits out the results so again like I
spits out the results so again like I say on on our web server it has PHP
say on on our web server it has PHP
say on on our web server it has PHP installed I upload PHP code to the web
installed I upload PHP code to the web
installed I upload PHP code to the web server when you come to our website
server when you come to our website
server when you come to our website the interpreter reads the PHP code and
the interpreter reads the PHP code and
the interpreter reads the PHP code and then gives you the results we talked
then gives you the results we talked
then gives you the results we talked about SP ap is an SDK is a little bit
about SP ap is an SDK is a little bit
about SP ap is an SDK is a little bit Haitian programming interfaces and

software development kits application
software development kits application programming interfaces are the points
programming interfaces are the points
programming interfaces are the points that companies like Twitter Facebook
that companies like Twitter Facebook
that companies like Twitter Facebook Yahoo Google give you in order to
Yahoo Google give you in order to
Yahoo Google give you in order to connect with their systems so so they
connect with their systems so so they
connect with their systems so so they have a whole secret recipe for how
have a whole secret recipe for how
have a whole secret recipe for how things happen in their systems and they
things happen in their systems and they
things happen in their systems and they don’t want you messing around with that
don’t want you messing around with that
don’t want you messing around with that so what they do is they give you these
so what they do is they give you these
so what they do is they give you these api’s that allow you to do specific
api’s that allow you to do specific
api’s that allow you to do specific tasks so if you want to post a post to
tasks so if you want to post a post to
tasks so if you want to post a post to Twitter from any different application
Twitter from any different application
Twitter from any different application that application would connect to
that application would connect to
that application would connect to Twitter through an API that will allow
Twitter through an API that will allow
Twitter through an API that will allow that post to happen if you want to read
that post to happen if you want to read
that post to happen if you want to read posts from Twitter on a different
posts from Twitter on a different
posts from Twitter on a different application that application would go to
application that application would go to
application that application would go to that API and then pull the post off of
that API and then pull the post off of
that API and then pull the post off of Twitter the main thing to understand
Twitter the main thing to understand
Twitter the main thing to understand with these api’s is you get what the
with these api’s is you get what the
with these api’s is you get what the company gives you so Facebook Twitter
company gives you so Facebook Twitter
company gives you so Facebook Twitter has done this a couple of times they can
has done this a couple of times they can
has done this a couple of times they can change these api’s at any time it’s all
change these api’s at any time it’s all
change these api’s at any time it’s all up to them they can give you more or
up to them they can give you more or
up to them they can give you more or less access basically you know by
less access basically you know by
less access basically you know by flipping a coin it’s all up to them you
flipping a coin it’s all up to them you
flipping a coin it’s all up to them you don’t get any control over what happens
don’t get any control over what happens
don’t get any control over what happens in their systems then the SDKs again
in their systems then the SDKs again
in their systems then the SDKs again you’ve probably heard about a lot
you’ve probably heard about a lot
you’ve probably heard about a lot nowadays is called software development
nowadays is called software development
nowadays is called software development kits so if you’re going to be creating
kits so if you’re going to be creating
kits so if you’re going to be creating applications like I say for the iPhone
applications like I say for the iPhone
applications like I say for the iPhone the iPad Android devices zooms whatever
the iPad Android devices zooms whatever
the iPad Android devices zooms whatever whatever it is you’re gonna build
whatever it is you’re gonna build
whatever it is you’re gonna build they have SDKs basically these are
they have SDKs basically these are
they have SDKs basically these are packaged programming applications that
packaged programming applications that
packaged programming applications that allow you to create programs for those
allow you to create programs for those
allow you to create programs for those specific devices we then talked about
specific devices we then talked about
specific devices we then talked about prototyping so this is the first step in
prototyping so this is the first step in
prototyping so this is the first step in creating a program no technical skills
creating a program no technical skills
creating a program no technical skills required you don’t you don’t need to
required you don’t you don’t need to
required you don’t you don’t need to know anything other than then how to to
know anything other than then how to to
know anything other than then how to to write on a piece of paper
write on a piece of paper
write on a piece of paper so with prototyping what you do is you
so with prototyping what you do is you
so with prototyping what you do is you think about what you want your program
think about what you want your program
think about what you want your program to do and then you actually write or
to do and then you actually write or
to do and then you actually write or draw that out on pieces of paper or a
draw that out on pieces of paper or a
draw that out on pieces of paper or a whiteboard so you draw it out so you
whiteboard so you draw it out so you
whiteboard so you draw it out so you have an idea of what this thing is
have an idea of what this thing is
have an idea of what this thing is supposed to look like once you have done
supposed to look like once you have done
supposed to look like once you have done the prototype you then go into
the prototype you then go into
the prototype you then go into pseudocode
pseudocode
pseudocode so what pseudocode is is you know any
so what pseudocode is is you know any
so what pseudocode is is you know any where you have little buttons on this
where you have little buttons on this
where you have little buttons on this this these prototype paper you would
this these prototype paper you would
this these prototype paper you would then say when i click this button this
then say when i click this button this
then say when i click this button this is what i want to have happen by writing
is what i want to have happen by writing
is what i want to have happen by writing that pseudocode you start to logically
that pseudocode you start to logically
that pseudocode you start to logically understand what is supposed to be
understand what is supposed to be
understand what is supposed to be happening with your system better and
happening with your system better and
happening with your system better and that allows you
that allows you
that allows you to decide what programming language you
to decide what programming language you
to decide what programming language you were going to be using and then it’s
were going to be using and then it’s
were going to be using and then it’s easier to figure out logical problems
easier to figure out logical problems
easier to figure out logical problems when you’re not actually writing in the
when you’re not actually writing in the
when you’re not actually writing in the programming language itself you know
programming language itself you know
programming language itself you know when you’re just writing a freehand
when you’re just writing a freehand
when you’re just writing a freehand after that we talked about the different

after that we talked about the different types of programmers you know web
types of programmers you know web

software engineers again with this just
software engineers again with this just like programming languages I want you to
like programming languages I want you to
like programming languages I want you to understand the career of being a
understand the career of being a
understand the career of being a programmer has different subcategories
programmer has different subcategories
programmer has different subcategories you know again programmers are not
you know again programmers are not
you know again programmers are not programmers you don’t say I want to be a

programmer and then you can do
programmer and then you can do everything it’s not how it works if you
everything it’s not how it works if you
everything it’s not how it works if you want to create web data based
want to create web data based
want to create web data based applications you learn one set of
applications you learn one set of
applications you learn one set of programming if you want to create robots
programming if you want to create robots
programming if you want to create robots you learn another satellite programming
you learn another satellite programming
you learn another satellite programming if you want to like start creating
if you want to like start creating
if you want to like start creating artificial intelligence you know fuzzy
artificial intelligence you know fuzzy
artificial intelligence you know fuzzy logic that has you know neural networks
logic that has you know neural networks
logic that has you know neural networks that has an entirely different set of
that has an entirely different set of
that has an entirely different set of programming you know it takes a lot of
programming you know it takes a lot of
programming you know it takes a lot of time and energy to learn any one of
time and energy to learn any one of
time and energy to learn any one of those sets so you should understand that
those sets so you should understand that
those sets so you should understand that you know they are different career
you know they are different career
you know they are different career fields so that was a class introduction
fields so that was a class introduction
fields so that was a class introduction to programming again not too technical
to programming again not too technical
to programming again not too technical or any of that our next classes are
or any of that our next classes are
or any of that our next classes are going to start delving into things like
going to start delving into things like
going to start delving into things like programming in PHP and JavaScript and
programming in PHP and JavaScript and
programming in PHP and JavaScript and HTML and that’s where you’ll get your
HTML and that’s where you’ll get your
HTML and that’s where you’ll get your hands into the code but right now you
hands into the code but right now you
hands into the code but right now you just need to understand these basic
just need to understand these basic
just need to understand these basic concepts so when we go to writing code
concepts so when we go to writing code
concepts so when we go to writing code you have an idea of what you’re doing
