Today we started out with another programming starter today but
this was more focused on data types and variables. Data types I wasn't so bad
with because I spent quite a bit of time learning about the different data
types last week. I managed to complete the task that john had given us with
ease but Dan seemed to struggle a little so I helped him. This starting
exercise helped me understand more about data types and what ones are for
specific things. We then moved straight onto this weeks TED video; the
video featured Marco the magician showing us the amazing combination of
magic and technology. The TED questions were created by Phoebe but the video we
all had already seen when John did a TED Tuesday A few months ago. I didn't
mind seeing it again because it was one of my favourite TED videos as if amazed
me what you can do when you combine technology and magic together.
Once TED was complete, we continued with assignment 1 of programming. This is the assignment that has to be completed by Friday and because I am trying to completely understand it whilst I write It down on paper, doing so is causing me to working slower than others but I think Dan is doing the same so at least I’m not the only one. I think to give us all a bit of a rest from programming, John allowed us to work on other units because a lot of work needs to be handed in on Monday. Me and Dan decided it would be a good idea to work on our animation as it is very close to being finished and we were both confident we could finish it today.
After today, we have nearly a minute's worth of animation. I think we should be able to get the animation finished by Thursday. Today I learnt about CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) tools, IDE's, data types and variables. I enjoyed the starter task because I think it’s a great way for all of us to get used to programming and things associated with programming.
