CIT 166 Programming Using Visual Basic an Introduction to Computers What Are the Main Components of a Computer CIT 166 Programming Using Visual Basic An Introduction to Computers What are the main components of a computer Processor (microprocessor, CPU –Central Processing Unit) Memory (RAM –Random Access Memory) Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Several device cards: graphics card, sound card, network card, modem Input/Output (I/O) Devices: keyboard, mouse; monitor, printer Hardware, Software and Servers Hardware Refers to physical components of the computer Includes all components (even I/O) Software All the programs written for a particular computer or for any computers Servers vs. Personal computer Term “Personal computer” indicates that the machine is operated by one person at a time Term “Server” indicates that the computer provides resources to other computers Make a computer understand To create software for a computer, you will need to use a Computer language Lowest level: Machine Language (coded in binary) (110100100) Assembly language: symbolic representation of Machine Code. You need to learn the symbols in order to write the code. High-level (Human –readable)Language: Visual Basic, Java, C++ It consists of instructions to which people can relate (Click, if, do, etc…) Communication protocol Human-Readable to Machine-Readable Computer Programs A computer is a machine that does ONLY what it is instructed to do. The code must be broken down into a sequence of instructions . This sequence is called a program What is a program? Collection of instructions that: Accepts input Process Data Outputs results What is a Programming Language? At the lowest level we have Machine Language. o Machine Language is a system of instructions and data executed directly by a computer's central processing unit. What we will be using is a Higher-Level Language o Higher-Level Languages consists of instruction that people can understand. o Examples of Higher-Level Languages: C C++ Java Python Visual Basic Why Visual Basic? Allows you to make programs easily • Lets you focus on problem at hand • Creates GUI’s (Graphical User Interface) not ugly command line • Interactive with user as an Event-Driven programming language Higher Level Languages Use IDE’s Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a software application that provides drag and drop capabilities with some prewritten programming code that makes programming a lot easier. So how do we get from VB to a Running Program? 1) First, write program, which is a collection of instructions for the computer to follow. 2) Then we must have the program translated into machine language by using one of two ways. • A compiler that translates high-level language such as VB in Machine Language all at one time before executing(running) the program. o NOTE: The compiler also detects certain types of errors during the translation process and will sometimes keep the program from running until the errors are fixed. o A compiler creates a machine language version of your program (usually and .exe file) that permits you to rerun the program without recompiling. • An interpreter, which translates and executes the program one line at a time. o Languages that use an interpreter must reinterpret the program ever time you want to run the program 3) Finally, we can run the program, which means to execute the instructions given in the program. Program Development Cycle When Developing a program in both the real world AND in this class, there are 6 steps • Analyze the problem • Plan a solution • Design an interface • Write the code • Test and debug • Document the program • (Not done in this class) Maintain the program To be successful in this class, you must perform each of these steps. Analyze the Problem Understand what the problem is and what the solution should be. Keep in mind what the End User should be able to see and do. • User – Anyone who uses the program. • End User – The person you designed the program for Aways keep in mind what the CORRECT solution to the problem is. • This needs to be done before ANY of the following steps can take place. • People have this job in real life: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_analyst Plan a Solution Once you understand the problem, you can develop an algorithm. • An Algorithm is the precise steps for the entire flow of the program written in steps or in flowchart form (to be discussed later). Usually in the form of: a. Get Input b. Validate Input c. Process Input d. Output Solution • Every detail should be covered in the algorithm. • Consider what is logical and illogical for the control flow. • Think about what situations can happen in the problem. • In real-world software projects, this is often done by committee Design the Interface • An interface is how two components interact with each other. • User Interface – How the user interact with your program. a. Think about how you allow the end user to interact with your program. b. Consider how the user inputs data and views results. c. Think about what makes sense to the end user. *For this course, this includes windows, buttons, text boxes, etc. • Again, this is a job in real life: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface_design Write the Code Coding: translating the algorithm you developed into a programming language (or Code). This is where knowledge of a programming language (VB in our case) is used. • Again, this is a real-world job: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_developer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_engineer . Testing and Debugging Even experienced software engineers make mistakes, so it is important to test your program for errors (known as bugs). A Bug – is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program Two Kinds (of many) of Errors: a. Syntax Error – Error in typing the program. b. Logical Error – Inconsistency between what you want the program to do and what it actually does. *It’s important to consider all normal and abnormal inputs for the program. Actual Job: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_tester Complete the Documentation Documentation – Organizing all the material that describes the program. Documentation includes: • Comments inside of the code document that describes to whoever reads it what specific sections do. • Comments inside of the code that describe the who the author is, when it was written, and any other relevant information • In commercial settings (industry) this includes user manuals that describe how to use the program. This may seem annoying, but it is a very important requirement for this course. You may find it easier to document code WHILE writing it, instead of completing it once you finished writing your code. Developing an Algorithm Consider the problem of finding out how many stamps you need to put on an envelope to mail it. The rule here is that you need 1 stamp for every 5 sheets of paper in the envelope. So the algorithm looks something like this: • Get the number of sheets from the user. (Input) • Divide the number of sheets by 5 (Process) • Round the result from step 2 the highest whole number (Process) • Output the number of stamps (Output) Testing an Algorithm (Example) (Stamp Counting Take 1) Testing your algorithm with some real numbers. • The user inputs 16 sheets of paper • Dividing 16 by 5 results in 3.2 • Rounding 3.2 up results in 4 • Output 4 stamps • Simple enough, right? What could go wrong? • What if the user inputs “Banana” sheets of paper? Revising an Algorithm (Stamp Counting Take 2) • Get the number of sheets from the user. (Input) • Check to see if the input is a positive number. (Validate) • Divide the number of sheets by 5 (Process) • Round the result from step 2 the highest whole number (Process) • Output the number of stamps (Output) Modeling Tools To help understand the steps of an algorithm, programmers use a variety of tools • Three that will help us in this class are: a. Flowcharts – Graphically depict the logical steps to carry out a task and show how the steps relate to each other b. Pseudocode – English-like phrases with some Visual Basic terms to outline the task c. Hierarchy Charts – Show how the different parts of a program relate to each other. Now that our algorithm is set, lets see how the modeling tools work. Hierarchy Charts • Good for showing the structure of the algorithm • Good at breaking down the algorithm into components • Not too great at showing the order of events • Flow Charts are better at showing the order in which the components execute. Pseudocode • This will become more clear when you understand VB terms better. • Pseudocode is good for listing the steps of an algorithm in a form that is easier to translate into VB. • Important: There is NO SPECIFIC FORM to pseudocode, it can look as much like VB or English as you want. The more VB you learn, the more VB-like pseudocode you can write. Pseudocode (Sample) Program: Determine the proper number of steps for a letter Read sheets if sheets is a positive integer Stamps = Sheets/5 Whole Stamps = Stamps rounded to next whole number Output Whole Stamps else Display Error .

    Introducción Este míni-manual esta pensado y orientado para los asistentes al taller de Gambas. Dado que, a priori, esperamos la asistencia de gente sin conocimientos previos de programación este texto va a ser escueto y muy elemental. Además de dar una formación teórica básica tiene el propósito de servir como chuleta para poder consultar las sintaxis más elementales como por ejemplo de las condicionales, bucles, etc. Nuestra herramienta: GAMBAS Vamos a usar Gambas, un lenguaje de programación visual similar al Visual Basic de Microsoft. Gambas dispone de su propio IDE. Un IDE, por sus siglas en inglés, es un entorno de desarrollo integrado. Gambas es lo que se conoce como un lenguaje de programación interpretado y como ocurre con GNU que es un acrónimo recurrente (Gnu No es Unix) Gambas significa Gambas Almost Means BASic, que traducido al castellano es Gambas Casi es BASic. Los IDE's son unos programas que aglutinan todo lo que necesitamos para programar. Tenemos un editor para picar (vamos a ir introduciéndonos en la jerga del programador) código, con resaltado por colores, autocompletado para ayudarnos en la edición, señalización de errores, etc. Un depurador para poder controlar la ejecución del programa y evaluar su comportamiento con sus inspectores de variables, objetos, etc. Un compilador para generar los binarios, bytecodes, ejecutables, etc. Un empaquetador para crear los instaladores. Además disponen de otras herramientas como gestores de servicios SVC para el control de versiones como GIT o similares. Editores de conexión a bases de datos, etc. Lo primero que vemos al ejecutar Gambas la ventana de bienvenida y nos da varias opciones, abrir un proyecto existente, crear uno nuevo o abrir recientes.

  • Windows Api Examples
    Windows Api Examples Petur J. Skulason. <mailto:[email protected]?subject=Windows Api Examples> http://www.est.is/~pjs/RealBasic/ http://u225.nett.is/~pjs/ All this is free to use in any application (commercial - shareware - freeware). Also to extract examples and post as examples from other websites. (I do not take any responsibility for how good this is, I dont call for any credit mony or anythink else ... ) These are few examples that I have found on lists, and by experimenting with Windows API calls and browsing MSDN website (http://msdn.microsoft.com/ ). Many text’s are copyed from MSDN website in this document are from MSDN website. Examples are tested on Win98 system, HP OmniBook XE2, compiled on PowerBook G3, PPC7300, LC475. Some of examples are working correctly. Most of examples are working, but some are not working, possible that i’am doing somthing wrong, but they are there. Comments, bugs, other samples welcome. Even requests for more samples. I might try to look at it and see if its possible. PS: In this document I have put some links to MSDN webpage’s. If you are running Internet Explorer then you might need to ‘disconnect java script’ couse then ie might show only part of page. Either run ie with *.js ‘OFF’ or use an other browser, like iCab or Netscape. (As of aug 30, 2000 then pages are displayed correct... problem might be solved... ) When declaring functions/subs then one is calling library, like user32.dll . Can omitt the name extension, use like Lib “user32” instead of Lib “user32.dll”.

  • BASIC Programming with Unix Introduction
    LinuxFocus article number 277 http://linuxfocus.org BASIC programming with Unix by John Perr <johnperr(at)Linuxfocus.org> Abstract: About the author: Developing with Linux or another Unix system in BASIC ? Why not ? Linux user since 1994, he is Various free solutions allows us to use the BASIC language to develop one of the French editors of interpreted or compiled applications. LinuxFocus. _________________ _________________ _________________ Translated to English by: Georges Tarbouriech <gt(at)Linuxfocus.org> Introduction Even if it appeared later than other languages on the computing scene, BASIC quickly became widespread on many non Unix systems as a replacement for the scripting languages natively found on Unix. This is probably the main reason why this language is rarely used by Unix people. Unix had a more powerful scripting language from the first day on. Like other scripting languages, BASIC is mostly an interpreted one and uses a rather simple syntax, without data types, apart from a distinction between strings and numbers. Historically, the name of the language comes from its simplicity and from the fact it allows to easily teach programming to students. Unfortunately, the lack of standardization lead to many different versions mostly incompatible with each other. We can even say there are as many versions as interpreters what makes BASIC hardly portable. Despite these drawbacks and many others that the "true programmers" will remind us, BASIC stays an option to be taken into account to quickly develop small programs. This has been especially true for many years because of the Integrated Development Environment found in Windows versions allowing graphical interface design in a few mouse clicks.
