Introduction
Programming is the language of
computer systems; it is the process of telling a computer which tasks to
perform and in what order. Scratch is a website designed for newcomers to
programming to create simple animations or interactable commands. Other coding
programs such as Python are used to develop software, task automation,
websites, and data analysis. So each program his its own benefits and
drawbacks.
Scratch
This assignment marked the first
time in my life that I ever used Scratch. Seeing the different commands
available fills one’s imagination with ideas that may or may not surpass their
current abilities. For example, when I opened the website and saw the little
cat sprite, some ideas of acrobatics entered my imagination but since I was
inexperienced with the website, my final product was nothing like I imagined.
With practice and studying further, I am certain that I can enhance my
performance using this program. I was able to overcome this by playing around with several of the functions and observing the functions of each one. With this, I was able to successfully create a simple, yet primitive animation.
When
compared to the interactive learning found in the textbook, the content in the
textbook was engaging as interaction simplifies the process of learning. When
reading about the high-level language, it made it clear that I have a long way
to go and am looking forward to witnessing my progress throughout this class
and how much I have improved by the fifth week. At the moment, the easiest one
to use is Scratch, but that is only due to the lack of experience in the
generalities of programming.
Scratch is very effective when making simple
animations and even small interactable games. Python, on the other hand, is a
high-level programming language that is dynamic and specializes in the rapid
creation of programs and applications. In terms of popularity, I believe that
C++, Java, and Python are the big three that are used in programming. But in my
opinion, I believe that Python stands on top as the most popular one simply
because it is regarded as being among the easiest coding programs for beginners
to learn.
Conclusion
Upon
engaging in this activity with Scratch, my interest has been piqued and I am
now even more curious to learn the language of programming so I can perhaps
create masterpieces in the future. Understanding the language of programming with
Scratch or any other coding programs proves to be helpful in the long-run as it
also opens the doors to high-paying jobs throughout the world. There is a lot
of detail that goes into creating something special and it’s something that
benefits anyone.
