  1. Robotics Camp 2013“ROBOTC Programming” Muscle Shoals Center for Technology Mrs. Stonecipher

  2. Welcome! • Mrs. Stonecipher – Instructor for the Robotics Camp; teaches Software Development, Information Technology Fundamentals, Co-Op Seminar, and Workforce Essentials. • Objectives of the Robotics Summer 2013 Camp: • Programming by Definition • CS2N Website – READ and follow along! • ROBOTC Programming Language Introduction • Getting Started! • About ROBOTC • Instructor-Led Discussion and Practice

  3. Definition of Programming • Computer programming (often shortened to programming) is the comprehensive process that leads from an original formulation of a computing problem to executable programs. It involves activities such as analysis, understanding, and generically solving such problems resulting in an algorithm, verification of requirements of the algorithm including its correctness and its resource consumption, implementation (or coding) of the algorithm in a target programming language, testing, debugging, and maintaining the source code, implementation of the build system and management of derived artifacts such as machine code of computer programs. The algorithm is often only represented in human-parseable form and reasoned about using logic. Source code is written in one or more programming languages (such as C++, C#, Java, Python, Smalltalk, etc.). The purpose of programming is to find a sequence of instructions that will automate performing a specific task or solve a given problem. The process of programming thus often requires expertise in many different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, specialized algorithms and formal logic.
