https://beginwithbasic.wordpress.com/2011/03/01/week-two-quick-hitters

Becoming a computer programmer. Week Two: Quick Hitters. March 1, 2011. 8220;What’s neat about following your progress here is knowing what you will soon discover that will change how you approach a task like the one posted. We get to share in your fun! I am happy to hear you’re having fun following my efforts. I can’t say that I’m having “fun” exactly. Not yet, anyway. It is still too challenging to truly be fun. That said, I do gain a sense of great satisfaction once I finally do figure something out.

Setback | Begin With BASIC

https://beginwithbasic.wordpress.com/2011/02/21/setback

Becoming a computer programmer. February 21, 2011. The keyboard on my laptop went out this weekend. Not all of it, but a few critical keys no longer work. Ultimately, I think I am going to need to either buy a replacement keypad for my machine, an external USB keyboard or a PS2-to-USB adapter and use an old keyboard we have left over from a previous desktop computer. Regardless, I will definitely be losing valuable programming time. I don’t expect this time to be any easier. I read (but did not fully stu...

Week Two: String Arrays | Begin With BASIC

https://beginwithbasic.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/week-two-string-arrays

Becoming a computer programmer. Week Two: String Arrays. February 28, 2011. I was a bit of a slacker this past weekend, but “week” two rolls on. In the first example. Where the program holds ten names, ten individual string variables were being dedicated to storing those names. Now, a single array will be used to accomplish the same feat. Anyway, let’s find out. These first four steps all look like they will be unaffected. 1 [start] print instructions (e.g. store list of ten names). 6 if yes, store user ...

Becoming a computer programmer. Crawl, walk, run and fly. February 19, 2011. Many thanks to Stefan. For providing the inspiration behind the title of this post. 8220;Week One” is officially in the books. There may a few minor things I didn’t commit to memory (some by choice, such as the USING function), but I truly feel like I successfully graduated from the lessons presented. It is a good feeling! The material being presented. I began this journey on February 04, 2011. It is now February 19, 2011. If (o...

Week Two: Comments | Begin With BASIC

https://beginwithbasic.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/week-two-comments

Becoming a computer programmer. February 23, 2011. Stefan, I certainly hope this. The key to success is to get things going in the speed you can easily follow. Even if not, it is my plan. I’ve had too many failed attempts in my past to think rushing through this latest (and potentially final) effort is the best course of action. The first example provided seems relatively simple. I do get it… kind of. I mean, when I stop and truly examine the code I understand what it’s doing. About the source code.

https://beginwithbasic.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/hiatus

Becoming a computer programmer. March 4, 2011. I regret to announce that my blogging efforts need to be placed on the back-burner for the unforeseeable future. I apologize to those that have been following my progress all this time. I fully plan on resuming my efforts once able, so this blog is certainly not being shut down — just placed on hold indefinitely. Thank you all for your feedback and support this past month. From → Other. Hope to see you back soon. Take care. See you back soon ;-).
