2. INTRO TO PROGRAMMING
• Programming is a fun and creative way to make things
on a computer
• The population of programmers has been increasing in
the last few years as computer technology rages on and
on.

3. EXAMPLES OF PROGRAMMING PT.1
• Have you ever played a game on the computer?
• Examples of games - Minecraft, Chess Titans, NBA
2K15,etc.

4. EXAMPLES OF PROGRAMMING PT.2
• Those games were not just made with no work except
writing the details. The author of Minecraft, for instance,
had to write code to make the program to work properly.
• Some games can take up 1,000,000 lines of code, which
takes a VERY long time. If one mistake is made, it can
mess up the whole program.

5. WANT TO BE A PROGRAMMER?
• Being a programming engineer is not easy work, but if you get
good, you will have a blast.
• A professional programmer has to be trustworthy so your
employee or peers will know you will do right and do the job
correctly.
• Patience. This is key because in the last slide, I said that one
line of code can mess up hundreds of others on how they
work. So it is key to be patient during programming, keeping
calm, and running through your code to resolve the issue and
move on with your work.
• Good companion: If you look at the founders of YouTube or
Twitter, there is three or four founders. It is very difficult to
make a great program all by yourself, so being a good
companion is key.

6. PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE BASICS
• There are many types of programming types, but let’s
only go over the starter ones.
• Ellipse. This is another word for circle. In JavaScript,
when you type in ellipse and then fill out the four
coordinates you want to place the circle on, it will display
it automatically.
• Rect. This is short for rectangle, as you may have
guessed. In a rectangle, you also fill out the four
coordinates you want to place the rectangle on, and your
computer will do it for you.

7. MORE COMPLICATED LANGUAGES…
• That may seem easy. You may be thinking, “why aren’t
you talking about how to make games???? Well, the fact
is, the simple animations may take up about 15 lines of
code, when a simple game would take up 150, and if
you’re a beginner, you need to start with the basics.
• There is a more complicated language in JavaScript
called functions. Functions are a special place where
you store code that you want to animate. A function
starts in a curly brace and ends in a curly brace with a
semicolon on the side.

8. YOU CAN BE ONE TOO!!!
I’m sure you have heard of one or more of these people:
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Drew Houston, Kevin
Systrom, or Mike Kreiger. All of people were very
dedicated, hardworking, trustworthy, and patient. Many of
the great programs start as a couple of unknown but
talented programmers putting there minds together to
create a masterpiece. Could you do it! Of course! You just
have to be patient and enjoy the hard but fun ride!
