“What I Have Learned in My Computer Logic & Design Class”
Introduction To Computer Programming
August 28, 2010
I have learned many things from this class as it relates to computer programming. There are a few areas covered in this course by either the text or in our weekly class discussions about computers and computer programming that stood out to me. This paper is broken up into two discussions. The first part will cover general ideas and skills involved with computers and computer programming. The second part of my paper will go over some topics covered in the text for the class. Some areas that were discussed are as follows: Logic and Decision Structures, Using Repetition Structures, Checking user input for errors and lastly, Using Arrays for more Advanced Programs.
The first concept that is realized is that computers are a part of our lives whether we like it or not. This electronic wonder we call the computer has evolved over time and has touched almost every facet of our society. Mankind has put so much emphasis on the computer evolution that we are becoming a planet of technology-craving consumers.
An example is the Apple Corporation 's IPhone and IPad. Consumers go to great lengths to have the latest computer-driven technologically advanced devices. We as a society have succumbed to the need for instant information that we get from the speed of computing devices. Only a short time ago a dial up modem was opening a new world to us by way of a thing called the internet. The computer has become a way to explore our world and expand our dreams and even extend our lives. The computer has become so much a part of our lives that the children of today and the generations of tomorrow do not know, and will never know what life would be like without a computer.
Many people due to this computer evolution have decided to become computer programmers and have pursued the skills and schooling to do this type of work. In my
