Blog of 1-27-12

This past week in computer programming, we ran into several challenges on lab 4A. They had to do with silly syntax errors. We were having trouble understanding exactly how specifically the python responded to  specific types of code. For instance, we forgot to incorporate to capitalize text when drawing the diagram on several line of code. We also realized that we had to set the background color with "white" and not the numeric value. It was jut these simple programming errors that set us back. The new project seems interesting but challenging at the same time. I wonder how long you will give us for this project. It will be really annoying to write comments for each section of code. It seems that it will take a really long time.
Anyway those are my thought about this past week.

Its Been a While

Well this is the first blogpost of the new year and my first blogpost in about 12 weeks. This week in computer programming we were introduced to Python in its entirety. Previously we had only been working with Jeroo and using the Python language. However we are strictly using a written language now with no visual aspect. However that may soon be subject to change as Python does contain several modules, with at least one of them being a drawing program. The module I speak of is Turtle and comes pre-installed with Python. I would love to see us experiment with Turtle. During my brief experimentations with Turtle, I have come to enjoy using its playability and sincerely hope that the others in my class will be able to enjoy it as well. Thats all for this week but i will be writing every week at least for the foreseeable future.
