Tips for the beginners in programming


When you start programming it’s like opening a door to a dark room that’s not only unknown to you, but you also don’t know where the light switch or anything else is. Don’t think of it as a room in a horror movie though. That might give you a slight relief, but it’s up to you how far in you go, how much you stumble and how long it takes for you to find the light switch. It’s also up to you to keep replacing the lightbulb after finally turning the light switch on. And so, you keep proceeding to the other dark rooms, steadily acknowledging and learning from your weaknesses and recognising patterns that can help you as you advance.


Don't just read the sample code, Tinker with it.

Learn by doing. Always play with the code while learning.

Grasp the fundamentals for long-term benefits.

Code by hand. It sharpens proficiency.

Ask for help if you need. Don't be shy.

Seek out more online resources. There's a wealth of content.

Take breaks while debugging.

The Arduino Platform and C Programming (Week 1)

Image
1.         Install the Arduino IDE on your computer. Compile the "Blink" example, upload the example to the             Arduino board, and make sure that the LED blinks. Use the  www.tinkercad.com ​ simulator if you                 do not have the Arduino hardware.            Take and upload a screen shot that shows the "Done compiling" message and the byte number                 information in the message area. >>> 2.       Install the Arduino IDE on your computer, compile the "Blink" example (review Lecture 3.2 for a                  refresher). Then, upload the example to the Arduino, and make sure that the LED blinks. Use                    the ww...

Introduction to the Internet of Things and Embedded Systems (Week 2)

1.        Identify two embedded systems that are sold on the market today and analyze their interfaces. >>>      DIGITAL CAMERA       A digital camera is very good example of Embedded system.       Cameras that we use today are smart and have a lot of features that were not present in early        cameras all because of embedded system used in them.       A digital camera has basically three functions, to capture image which we call data, to store            image data, and to represent this data.       Today images are stored and processed in form of digital data in bits.           HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS       Home security systems has another good example of Embedded systems.       These systems have several features just as checking for fire or gas leakages, and...
