PROGRAMMING IN SCRATCH


My experience building in the Scratch program was difficult at first. I had to watch multiple tutorials to understand basic operations. My goal was to try to utilize different code lines to learn as much as possible while creating a unique program. I had trouble with figuring out what function performed what operation. Specifically, I had difficulty with incorporating sound. I tried timing it right with my characters' dialogue, but the sound did not start when I 
wanted it to begin. Eventually, I figured it out by using the wait function. I learned quickly what everything did after playing around with the different functions. I feel with more time and exploring the various functions; I could have made a better product. There is still a lot for me to learn in Scratch.

I enjoyed learning about the different types of coding languages within the course text. Python seems to be the easiest for me to understand, and Machine Learning was the hardest to grasp. However, Machine Language was the most interesting to learn. I found it interesting that programmers entered a program into a computer using 0's and 1's using wires and switches. I believe the concept of Python coding was more comfortable to grasp because it contained words and reads almost like a sentence. The course text explains that python is popular because it is easy to learn, and after a brief interaction with using it, I can see why. Also, knowing that many programming languages are used today, like C++, Java, Python, etc. all have different applications for different reasons. I am interested in finding out each of these programming languages' strengths and weaknesses in the coding world.

JAVA: Object-Oriented Programming Concepts

As a technical professional, it's crucial not only to possess the ability to work with programming languages like Java but also to effectively communicate complex concepts in a way that resonates with both technical and non-technical audiences. Let’s explore Java installation briefly and dive into the core principles of object-oriented programming (OOP) that form the backbone of Java development. Java Installation: Setting the Foundation To begin working with Java, the first step is to ensure that the Java Development Kit (JDK) is properly installed on your machine. The JDK includes everything needed to compile and run Java applications. While I won’t walk through every step here, I recommend referring to official documentation or trusted guides for detailed installation instructions.      To download JDK 23, follow the address below: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/?er=221886     I nstallation instruction can be found here: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/j

Operating System Theory and Concept Map

Operating systems (OS) carry out various crucial functions that enable computers to operate efficiently and act as an interface between hardware and software. The major functions of an OS can be categorized into several key areas. Process management is one of the core functions, where the OS is responsible for creating, scheduling, and terminating processes, ensuring that multiple programs can run simultaneously without conflicts. Memory management ensures that each process has enough memory to execute properly while optimizing available physical and virtual memory to prevent crashes or slowdowns. File system management handles the creation, deletion, reading, and writing of files on various storage devices while maintaining security and organization. Device management ensures smooth communication between hardware components like printers, hard drives, and USB devices by using device drivers. Finally, security and access control protect the system's resources, enforcing rules about
