The PiSharp IDE for Raspberry PI Bo Si This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science at the University of Waikato. August 2017 © 2017 Bo Si Abstract The purpose of the PiSharp project was to build an IDE that is usable for beginners developing XNA-like programs on a Raspberry-Pi. The system developed is capable of 1. Managing and navigating a directory of source files 2. Display a file in a code text editor 3. Display code with syntax highlight 4. Automatically discovering program library structure from code namespaces 5. Compiling libraries and programs automatically with recompilation avoided if source code has not been updated 6. Compiling and running from the IDE 7. Editing more than one file at a time 8.

  • Python: Easy to Learn
    Python: Easy to Learn Clifford French, CAS London Conference, 25 Feb 2017 Easy to misunderstand From Pycon Conference Ned Batchelder, Montreal 2015 2 May not be a very satisfactory session For some participants, too basic For some participants, too advanced For the presenter, wish I could do more Please do get in touch - [email protected] if you want a multi-session course, a one off half day or day, one to one coaching… 3 Three themes 1. Brief look behind the scenes 2. How understanding “behind the scenes” helps in the classroom 3. Speaking like a Python native and a little extra if we have time. [email protected] 4 Everything is an object Other languages use variables Key concept in Python is objects A variable is basically a name for a value No concept of declaring variables ● spring into life when needed ● removed by garbage collector when a new value is assigned to a name 5 Theme 1 - “behind the scenes” www.ranker.com 6 REPL Read Evaluate Print Loop If no name, object is swept away 7 Every object has a type and an id a = ‘pizza!’ type(a) id(a) a = 9 type (a) id(a) 8 Analogies - box, cup, aunty In some other C based languages, we declare a variable int(x) It can hold only integers - box a good analogy In Python, we don’t declare a variable and a type is dynamic We can use several names for the same value, as a person can be “aunty”, “sister”, “Ms ..” Box, cup - not good analogies in Python 9 Meet my aunties - first anna aunty Like us, this Russian doll has many names.

  • Learn to Code
    CompSoc Presents LEARN TO CODE Created by: Amanda Deacon Emily Price and Caitlin Duncan 2016 A quick introduction … Welcome to CompSoc’s second workshop of the year! We’re very excited to be able to present our first ever workshop on learning to code. We hope that you find this workshop interesting, enlightening, educational, or all of the above! We understand that learning something new takes time, and by no means are you expected to be a pro by the end of this session. Don’t feel like you HAVE to complete this entire document by the end of this workshop, if you do we will be extremely impressed! The one thing we do ask is that you work through it in the order we’ve laid it out. Each section builds on the previous ones, and the Python section assumes you’ve already worked through the Scratch section. PART ONE - SCRATCH Getting Started with Scratch What is Scratch? Scratch is, simply put: a fun, visual programming language. Scratch is a great first language as it allows you to learn about programming without the hassle of memorising how to type confusing and sometimes counter-intuitive commands. How do I open it? For this tutorial we’ll be using the online version of Scratch. The lab computers in here do have Scratch installed, but this is an older version. For sake of everyone’s sanity (and a more enjoyable experience), we encourage you to use the online version, available at the following link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/editor/ ​ If you want to save any programs you create you can download them from the website, or if you’re really keen you can create a Scratch account and save them there.
