Document Summary
[2017-09-08: corrected the extra bracket] Briefly, learning a language (whether a computer language or a natural human language) can be accomplished via many methods. The method we will be using is immersion. Our goal, then, is to show you useful examples of programs, which you can then modify for your purposes. In doing so, you will learn the language. The process should accelerate as you recognize the utility of computer programming in solving practical problems that you will encounter in your other engineering courses: preliminary info. For this course, you will do all of your development on ecf, the. Since, at the time of writing this, i do not know whether you have your accounts set up, etc. , we"ll *temporarily* use a web-based environment to get started. There are many ways to program a computer: * machine language (i. e. , speaking binary to the computer) * assembly language (a step above the former)
