History
In 1801 the first automated loom was invented. In 1842-1843 the very first reference to computer
programming was made by Ada Lovelace, making her the very first programmer. In 1889 the first idea to for a machine that could read data was invented. In 1937 the very first electronic digital computer was developed and in 1942 it was tested. John Backus of IBM invented the
first coding software, Fortron, in 1957. The first computer game was then released in 1961 by John Backus. This is
the first account of anyone using code before the internet was released in 1992.
What is coding?
Code is the list of instructions given to any computer in order for it to perform the
desired actions.
The basics
I used a website called Make School to help me learn the basics of coding. In this online tutorial I used to main
programs, Sprite Builder and Xcode. Sprite Builder helps you make your application and help write the code for
you. It helps save time in the end. I would then use Xcode to make the project come to life. You have the
ability of doing everything on Xcode but Sprite Builder gives you the ability to save time and make your apps
better.
How this experience will help me
This experience in a very great way. I have learned a ton about coding. If I choose to continue with it I would
probably have to do much more research. I don’t think it would be very difficult to find a more advanced tutorial
as code is gaining popularity fast in this age of technology. It was recently added to the national
curriculum.
Much of this project was just working on a tutorial to learn to code. If i just talked code to you, I would be
talking a totally different language.
