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.

o Instructor-led Practiceo Screencastso Webinarso Tips and Best Practices
Dismiss at 3:00 p.m.
Afternoon ObjectivesProgramming – Students will be able to : Describe and identify behaviors of different types
(basic, simple, complex) Build up or break down behaviors as necessary to
analyze or implement them Program a robot to perform various behaviors on the
VEX platform using ROBOTC Use sensors to improve the reliability or functionality
of a robot Understand the differences between tele-operated
(remote control) and autonomous devices, and program both types of robots using VEX and ROBOTC
