Intro to Programming
Take a look at your previous post. We are continuing the Computer Buying Project.
Follow the rubric when creating your final project.
Presentations will be Friday!!
Moving on .......
We have explored hardware and are now moving onto data.
Programming is creating a set of instructions that tell the hardware what to do. We are usually writing programs that collect or manipulate data to produce usable information.
For next class:
What do you think about when you hear the word data? Where can it be found? Where does it come from?
