Day 1 Presentations - as an audience

1. 5 languages I learned today and one interesting point from each:

HTML: Websites are made possible because of HTML. You can create websites through the "notebook" application in Windows.

Processing 2.0: Very similar to Turing. You can make games and this is a good way to learn programming languages.

Python: You can make many things on Python, including songs and games.

WeScheme: This program also is similar to Turing. With a series of codes, you are able to play fun games. Also a good way to learn programming languages.

Blockly: Gives you the opportunity to play games through a series of commands. There can be simple games with simple commands, like "turn left", or there can be complex games that even include mathematical commands.



2. A program I would be interested in exploring is Processing 2.0. This is because I felt like I learned the most from this program and it would be cool to invent my own games. In addition, I can learn even more programming languages with the use of Processing 2.0, so using this program would expand my knowledge of other various languages which could give me the ability to create something unique.

Another program I would be interested in exploring is Blockly. This is because the game that I tried on Blockly is different than the games I normally play, so it would be fun to look into Blockly. Also, there are simple and then there are complex games, which could give me a good challenge. It would be interesting to explore other aspects of Blockly.
