This document provides an overview of Dr. Bryan Duggan and the Computational Thinking course he teaches. It introduces Dr. Duggan and his background, interests and projects including Tunepal, an app that allows users to search music by playing or humming. The document outlines the topics that will be covered in the Computational Thinking course including programming concepts, Processing, Java, and computational thinking problems that students will solve by programming. Requirements for the course like necessary software and resources are also mentioned.
Object Oriented Programming
- 1. Dr Bryan Duggan DIT School of Computing bryan.duggan@dit.ie @skooter500 http://bryanduggan.org Object Oriented Programming
- 2. About me • Graduate of DIT! • Teaching for around 15 years • I love programming • Make games, VR & ,music projects • Run game Jams • Gamecraft & DubLUDO • Yoga • Flute • Misty & Tara
- 4. Tunepal • A search-by-playing app for Android and IOS • 20K App users • 23K music scores • Around 1K music searches per day • > 2 Million searches (70% geotagged) • Links through to YouTube • MIDI Playback
- 5. DEEP
- 6. Computational Thinking • How to construct solutions to open-ended problems • How to think like a programmer – Variables – Algorithms – Program design
- 7. Computational Thinking using Processing – Semester 1 • Using variables • Selection • Iteration • Arrays, Strings • Methods • Classes, fields, methods • Constructors • Inheritance • Polymorphism • Interfaces & abstract classes • Design patterns
- 8. What is programming? • Whatever you think programming is… • It all boils down to one thing: Making Stuff
- 9. What we will make • Trigonometry • Circles spirals & generative art • Data analysis & visualisation • Conway’s game of life • Spacewars
- 13. Why Processing? • It is immensely fun, creative, addictive • You can learn programming by making cool stuff • Easier to attain a flow state • You can learn all the important stuff and it is easy to transfer these skills to other frameworks • You will learn & code in lots of different languages in college • You can use Python, C++, Go, Swift whatever you like for your second semester assignment
- 14. Flow • Fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. • Complete absorption in what one does. • Named by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, the concept has existed for thousands of years under other guises, notably in some Eastern religions • Achieving flow is often colloquially referred to as being in the zone • Completely focused motivation. • Single-minded immersion • The ultimate experience in harnessing the emotions in the service of performing and learning. • In flow, the emotions are not just contained and channeled, but positive, energized, and aligned with the task at hand. • A feeling of spontaneous joy, even rapture, while performing a task • Deep focus on nothing but the activity – not even oneself or one's emotions.
- 19. Semester 2 - Java • Build a full music retrieval system similar to Tunepal using Java & processing – The JDK – Maths library • Member visibility, operations, static & non-static – Dynamic programming – Eclipse – Using Java libraries – Collections framework – Digital signal processing – JDBC – Generics – Inner classes & anonymous inner classes
- 20. Terence McKenna • Lecture tours and workshops promoting natural psychedelics as a way to explore universal mysteries, stimulate the imagination, and re-establish a harmonious relationship with nature • He was called the "Timothy Leary of the '90s” • Novelty theory and Timewave Zero • The stoned ape theory • Magic mushroom spores from aliens • True Hallucinations • The Invisible Landscape: Mind, Hallucinogens and the I Ching • Felt presence of direct experience
- 22. • Programming = learning programming • Learning programming = programming
- 23. What do we do in the class/labs/tutorials? • In the class on Monday & Tuesday – Everyone brings a laptop/tablet or phone to code on – We will learn a new thing together by making something – I will get us started and then you will build some of it yourself – Programmer yoga • In the tutorial on Friday – Usually an advanced system from the class – I set the problem, you guys code, we come together at the end to compare solution • In the lab – You guys work on a problem by yourself – Take an MCQ at the end
- 25. What resources do I need? • Bring a laptop to class! • Processing, Eclipse, git for Windows, SourceTree • Learning Processing book: – http://www.learningprocessing.com/ • The Java Tutorial – http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ • The Nature of Code – http://natureofcode.com/ • My YouTube Channel – http://youtube.com/skooter500 • The course website – https://github.com/skooter500/OOP-2016-2017
- 26. How is the course assessed? • A lab test (Week 6) • A take home assignment (due before Christmas) – Code & a video & readme via github • Weekly MCQ’s • A take home assignment over Christmas • A take home assignment semester 2 – Games Fleadh/Imagine Cup are strongly encouraged – Anything you like – Any OO language you like – A blog & a test plan
- 27. Your first assignment! • A hud/UI for an upcoming sci-fi movie • You can base it on any movie you like or come up with your own • It should be kinda usable • It should have lots of animation & interactivity • It can be as far out as you like. In other words it can be for an alien
- 51. Ideas • A comm system • Navigation • Engines • Console • Weapons systems
- 52. Keep in mind.. NO ONE in the history of programming EVER learned to program in one of these…
- 53. Consider…
- 54. Consider..
- 56. Learn programming IT WILL CHANGE YOR LIFE
- 57. Data entry clerk • Salary €8 per hour
- 58. Programmer • Salary €50 per hour
- 59. Really good Programmer • Salary €500 per hour
