  7. About the Class

  8. Tools to be Used Learn Python and AppInventor for Android Create small programs and apps to learn computer engineering concepts Learn to solve problems following software engineering principles. Encourage your creativity to use technology to solve problems.

  9. Python • In this course we will use the Python programming language. • Python is a relatively simple programming language: • Fewer alternatives (one way to do it) • Easier to accomplish common tasks • This allows us to focus less on the language and more on problem solving

  10. Python • Python in an interpreted language which allows you to type program statements into the Python window and see results immediately. • Other programming languages require an intermediate step before you can run a program called compiling.

  11. Python • Python is useful for general problems as you can do things with it quickly. • Python is used to solve problems in many areas. Many packages are available to help for a particular area

  12. App Inventor Programming with blocks Tutorials & small projects You can develop Android apps

  13. What kind of apps?

  14. What kind of apps?

  15. Why is programming so important? • This class is about programming; that is, is about creating software. • What is a computer without software? • What kind of job will you be able to get with no programming skills?

  16. The syllabus • EMT1111 Logic and Problem Solving • https://sites.google.com/site/emt1111f12/syllabus

  17. Basic computer skills • How to take screenshots (Windows) • How to take screenshots (Mac) • Finding pictures on the internet • How to download pictures from a website • findsounds.com • Inkscape • Aviary tools
