Today was the first time I have ever
used the scratch website and it was a very interesting experience. I made a
30-block program but wasn’t clever enough to do really anything with it. What I
did in this program is have a cat image meow and then turn to ask the user what
their name was. It would then take this response, wait 2 second sayings hmm and
then repeat the name back. After repeating it would meow in a much deeper tone,
responding with that is a great name while resetting back in the original position.
I did
struggle a lot with this website as I have no programming experience that I can
pull from. I did end up pulling up a YouTube video to help me understand
exactly how to use this website. I learned how to read code in a simplified
way. The website is great at showing you how order of operations works in a code.
After going through Scratch, I have to say I still prefer using Python as I
feel that I have way more control in what program I have made. The textbook
made a lot more sense while doing the activities because of how free the typing
of the code was.
There are many programming languages,
but the most popular ones would be C, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript. The C
language is more for game programming as its programs tend to run faster then
something like C++. C++ is a great language for larger projects and the way it
is used the code can be reused. Java specializes in more of a networking setting,
as it is great for cross platform programs. Not only that but it's very easy to
learn. JavaScript is used mostly in web browsers but can be used in other
places but not as efficiently. To me I think that C++ would be the most popular
as it is very universal and is efficient in many fields of programming.You can check out my project with the link below.
