What I'm working on now!

So far I have gotten the basics down in learning python. It seems to be getting much more complicated but it must have a purpose.

After which I switched over to JavaScript. I don't know why but I seem to prefer JavaScript over python because it seems easier, and not to mention a lot of programs seem to run on it.

I might work with this so a while 

Need a Job? Invent it!!!

          So earlier today I read an article by Thomas Friedman. I was an interview with Tony Wagner and his opinion on the future of workers and the job economy. Tony Wagner discusses the educational issues that our generation and the next might face. Jobs today are becoming more skillful for the average worker, and we are losing more to people living in a different country. What Wagner thinks we should do, is instead of making high-school kids college ready, we should make them innovative ready. I agree, instead of being the regular guy working at a tech-savvy company, think of new ways to impress the world. What he talks about is similar to the Chappaqua summer scholarship program. What they have been doing to while at the same time, making us college ready, they also try and introduce us to new things. Like classes we don't normal have in regular school like computer science and Shakespeare. Plus the extra activities that we normally would play in the Bronx. So I agree with Wagner, more kids should be exposed to a wide variety of materials, and be different from others in the job field when they grow up with an open mind, and a will to create the next best thing.

Summer Project

So for computer science class I will be working on my own project using either python or JavaScript. What I manly want to do is redeem myself. Last year during the summer while first learning a little bit about coding, I attempted to code a working calculator that can do all basic functions. At the end when I thought I finished it ended up in a failure. So my goal is to make a fully functional one this time.

What I will use and has refreshed my memory a bit is codeacademy.com, as I continue to learn python and JavaScript together. Of course a great help will come from my splendiferous teacher this year, and his assistants who could help me kink out all the flaws. Hopefully I should finish this project by the end of next week, and I will be able to work on the next project. This one should prove easy with the help of YouTube videos showing ways to make things simpler, or I might go ahead and make a complex system.

What I hope to learn in CompSci

This year in computer science class, I plan to actually learn how to code. It has been my dream to learn how to. I love computer science class, and when I go to college I hope to major in computer science. The website I will be using to complete my goal is....you guessed it codeacademy.com. This should keep me occupied for the rest of the summer.

Scratch+CodeAcademy

          So today in computer science class, we discovered two new website that we will be using as a project for the summer. The first being scratch.mit.edu and the second being codeacademy.com. Honestly for me, both of these websites are a dream to me, and anyone who dreams to animate, make simple games, videos, and programming.

          Scratch is a website created by Massachusetts institute of technology. This website creates the basis of ways to animate videos by themselves using what they provide, without the hassle of crashing your brain using trigonometry or calculus. It is really a great way to open up kids to new things because many schools don't offer things like it. Plus it's free online. 

          CodeAcademy which is my favorite is a website that teaches you how to program in a few languages. Not like actual languages, but things like java and more. What school systems need to do is implement coding classes into regular high schools and middle schools, because technology is advancing everyday, and we need people to help run and create more these advances. I have been using this website (codeacademy.com) for a few days already and I learned things as like making my computer relay a certain message when the right command is shown, to simple addition and subtraction that the computer can solve. If you want to doing anything with coding in the future, this website is for you.

CodeAcademy

Last year i discovered a website called codeacademy.com thanks to the help of my good buddy carlos. This website helps teach you the fundamentals of basic programming. This is perfect for me because, in the future I want to major in computer science, but I'd prefer to get a head start. Sadly learning from texts books is not for me since I am connected to the internet most of my time. Over my junior year I experimented with codeacademy and learned how to calculate math problems, to having it respond to certain messages.

Recently it has getting much more popularity. with the help of famous people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. Both conveyed an inportant message to the world. What they want is that since the world is advancing, and more people are starting to use technology, we need more coders to help build the future. They helped my dream come alive, because they suggested that more school implement computer science as a course in high schools and middle schools. Since my school specializes in math and science, a lot of people would love to take that class. I hope this website will help many more in the future.
