Day 2 of programming!

We started the day off with a little coding starter activity. The starter was a recap on what we were learning yesterday. I found the start quite helpful and it did help me remember what we did yesterday. The code was quite easy to do and I did remember how to write it.

Also today we did some more Small Basic and work through the tutorials some more. I got up to the turtle tutorial what is enjoyable to play around with and make different shapes. There is quite a lot of different options you can do with Small Basic and I never knew you could do so much in such a basic program. The example for turtle was creating two shapes so I changed the angles it moved at to make some more interesting patterns. Overall I enjoyed tutorial part of today and I am aiming to get further along and learn new things.

Then we moved onto the words what was quite confusing at the start. We were learning about the paradigms what are procedural, event driven and the horrible object orientated. Procedural and event driven were quite easy to understand however object orientated was not at the start. I found out that we have been coding in procedural and event driven. Also we had a quick talk about flow charts and on pseudo code what is still confusing for me.

Overall I am happy with my progress of programming and learning more about Small Basic. Tomorrow I might carry on working through the tutorials and try make some programs and see if they work. Also I might look up some guides online and have a look at them to boost my Small basic knowledge
