  • Exploring Student Perceptions About the Use of Visual Programming
    Exploring student perceptions about the use of visual programming environments, their relation to student learning styles and their impact on student motivation in undergraduate introductory programming modules Maira Kotsovoulou (BSc, MSc) July 2019 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Department of Educational Research, Lancaster University, UK. Exploring student perceptions about the use of visual programming environments, their relation to student learning styles and their impact on student motivation in undergraduate introductory programming modules Maira Kotsovoulou (BSc, MSc) This thesis results entirely from my own work and has not been offered previously for any other degree or diploma. The word count is 57,743 excluding references. Signature ........................................................ Maira Kotsovoulou (BSc, MSc) Exploring student perceptions about the use of visual programming environments, their relation to student learning styles and their impact on student motivation in undergraduate introductory programming modules Doctor of Philosophy, July 2019 Abstract My research aims to explore how students perceive the usability and enjoyment of visual/block-based programming environments (VPEs), to what extent their learning styles relate to these perceptions and finally to what extent these tools facilitate student understanding of basic programming constructs and impact their motivation to learn programming. My overall methodological approach is a case study that explores the nature of potential benefits to using a VPE in an introductory programming module, within the specific context of an English-speaking institution of higher learning in Southern Europe. Part 1 of this research is a pilot study, which uses participatory action research as a methodological practice to identify which visual programming environment will be selected for the main study.

  • 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.

  • Strung Out: Printable Strings in Atari 2600 Games
    University of Calgary PRISM: University of Calgary's Digital Repository Science Science Research & Publications 2014-08-14 Strung Out: Printable Strings in Atari 2600 Games Aycock, John http://hdl.handle.net/1880/50203 technical report Downloaded from PRISM: https://prism.ucalgary.ca Strung Out: Printable Strings in Atari 2600 Games John Aycock Department of Computer Science University of Calgary 2500 University Drive N.W. Calgary, AB, Canada T2N 1N4 [email protected] TR 2014-1062-13, August 2014 1 Introduction This report documents the raw findings from an exhaustive (and exhausting) analysis of a large corpus of Atari 2600 games to find printable strings. While similar efforts have been conducted before [3], this is the most extensive survey so far, to the best of our knowledge. We intend to analyze these results from a higher-level viewpoint later, but this report serves as a permanent record of the data and the methods we used to acquire it. 2 Printable Strings The results reported here are based on a corpus of 1816 Atari 2600 ROM cartridge images. Duplicate images were removed – the initial corpus, as acquired, had 1840 images – but some game images have one or more prototype images too. We have not removed these, because sometimes the strings are different between these versions. Finding printable strings was done in a manner consistent with the Unix strings program, where sequences of consec- utive printable ASCII characters at least four characters in length were selected. In practice, because this process produces a lot of “noise”, i.e., sequences that appear to be printable strings but in fact are not: XXXXXXX^ 66420OBDF66420FBD66420@D 3##~ #3 we filtered the output to make legitimate printable strings more prominent [2].

Expanding your programming horizons 282 v appendix D Programming the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition and TI-84 Plus CE In late 2012, the members of my website discovered that Texas Instruments was test- ing a new color-screen version of the decade-old TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus series. This new calculator, the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition, has the same processor, RAM, and operating system as the older monochrome calculators. It includes a new color LCD screen and rechargeable battery. In 2015, it was joined by the thinner, lighter TI-84 Plus CE, which packs a faster processor and more memory. Luckily for TI-BASIC pro- grammers, the TI-BASIC (and z80 assembly) programming skills taught throughout Programming the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus remain largely relevant to the new calculator. All of the commands and programming techniques you’ve learned in this book still apply, and the calculator still has a homescreen and graphscreen for text-based pro- grams and graphical programs respectively.
