    Programming Environments Presenter: Steve Baskauf [email protected] CodeGraf landing page • vanderbi.lt/codegraf What is an environment? vanderbi.lt/codegraf Coding environment • The definition of "environment" is a bit murky • We can consider an environment to include: • the value of defined variables • functions available to be used in our code • knowledge about position in file directory structure and other computer-wide parameters Accessing via the shell • Python example • R example Integrated development environment (IDE) What is an integrated development environment (IDE)? • An IDE is a graphical user interface (GUI) for developing code • An IDE includes: • a code editor • a shell • An IDE might include: • tools for examining the environment • formatting help and syntax checking • mechanisms for debugging code • a package manager Thonny example • Thonny is a simple Python IDE Spyder IDE for Python RStudio IDE for R Literate programming with Jupyter notebooks Literate programming • Programming paradigm for making code understandable to humans • Mix text, images, links with code. • Implementable in a primitive fashion with comments (#) • Implementable in a robust way with Jupyter notebooks and R Markdown Example: Jupyter notebooks • Formerly known as "iPython notebooks" (.ipynb file extension) • Now usable with Python, R, and other programming languages • Runnable in a browser when connected to a server • Viewable in GitHub (but not runnable) Functions Functions argument parameter • A function defines a block of code. • We pass arguments into functions: • functionName(argument1, argument2, ...) • It’s good to name functions by what they do. returned Example: value my_latte = make_latte(beans, milk, water) • Functions can be: • built-in • defined by you in your code • defined by somebody else in a module Image: Nykamp DQ, “Function machine f.” From Math Insight.

  • Python Intro #1
    Python Intro #1 Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum, and released in 1991. It is used for: • web development (server-side), • software development, • mathematics, • system scripting. What can Python do? • Python can be used on a server to create web applications. • Python can be used alongside software to create workflows. • Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify files. • Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex mathematics. • Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready software development. Why Python? • Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc). • Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language. • Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages. • Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be very quick. • Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-orientated way or a functional way. Good to know • The most recent major version of Python is Python 3, which we shall be using in this tutorial. However, Python 2, although not being updated with anything other than security updates, is still quite popular. • In this tutorial Python will be written in a text editor. It is possible to write Python in an Integrated Development Environment, such as Thonny, Pycharm, Netbeans or Eclipse which are particularly useful when managing larger collections of Python files. • Python Syntax compared to other programming languages • Python was designed for readability, and has some similarities to the English language with influence from mathematics.

Cross platform support Initially released on January 1992, OpenGL has a long history which led to many versions; market specific variations such as OpenGL ES in July 2003 and WebGL in 2011; a backward compatibility break with OpenGL core profile in August 2009; and many vendor specifics, multi vendors (EXT), standard (ARB, OES), and cross API extensions (KHR). OpenGL is massively cross platform but it doesn’t mean it comes automagically. Just like C and C++ languages, it allows cross platform support but we have to work hard for it. The amount of work depends on the range of the application- targeted market. Across vendors? Eg: AMD, ARM, Intel, NVIDIA, PowerVR and Qualcomm GPUs. Across hardware generations? Eg: Tesla, Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell and Pascal architectures.
