Preface
This module is one in a collection of modules designed to help
beginners of all ages
(8 and up) learn how to create the code for
computer programs. Information is provided not only for the beginnersthemselves but also for parents, teachers, and other helpers where appropriate.
The purpose of this module is simply to introduce the collection.
In the year 2013, everything from parking meters to cell phones to Mars
landing vehicles are controlled by computer code. That code is written byhumans.
Bill Gates ,
Mark Zuckerberg ,
Mitch Resnick , and many other
respected
individuals are telling us that
"Everybody in this country should learn
how to program a computer... because it teaches you how to think."
If you search the web, you will find a maze of web pages containing information
forteaching beginners how to create program code. This collection will attempt to pull much of that
information together and to provide explanations that will make it easier forbeginners to navigate that maze and to get involved in computer programming.
As mentioned earlier, the information in this collection is intended not only for the
beginnersthemselves, but also for the parents, teachers, and other helpers of those beginners where
appropriate.
