You may be thinking “What can I give my niece, nephew, daughter, son, cousin, granddaughter, grandson as a gift?” There are several books out there that can help in learning how to code. There are several free online resources. There are some who need to pay for a subscription. That can be an AMAZING gift! Some adults think kids may not understand coding. Kids do understand coding. It is learning a language just like kids who have learned other languages. Remember everyone can code including kids. Give a kid a try! And if they don’t get it one time, they can get it the next time.

Friends and Family Impact on beginners

Friends and Family Impact on beginners

Friends and Family should support the person for coding or want to learn how to code. Wrong friends will be mean to you, call you names, and just give you a hard time. We should encourage young programmers to think big.

The Difference Between Arguments and Parameters

The Difference Between Arguments and Parameters

Parameters and arguments in coding are very similar but are still different.

Parameters, for example, are like this:

def function(parameter)

Whereas arguments are like this:

function(argument)

So parameters are the variables used when making a function. Arguments are the values to the variables of the function.

Lets Talk a Little About Python

Lets Talk a Little About Python

In Python instead of calling the add-ons gems, we call them eggs. Python has many API frameworks that use eggs like Flax, Django, and CherryPy. API’s set up or instruct what they website displays and display what the user can and can not do.

Python is a programming language used for very broad projects. I believe Python is good for beginners. It runs through Python IDLE. Python IDLE stands for Integrated Development Environment of Python. I started with it because I thought it was very simple and very understandable. It helped to understand more specific projects.

Let’s Talk a Little Bit of Ruby

Let’s Talk a Little Bit of Ruby

Ruby gems are pieces of software on a Rails app to do things. The following examples are gems:

 

  • Devise lets you make/create users. It can also let you have authentication in your apps.

 

 

  • Kaminari lets you paginate things so they don’t overflow the page.

 

 

  • Can can can lets users have certain permissions to do certain things or visit certain pages.

 

The gem in Ruby is a library. The word “Gem” reminds me of something precious. In some of the books I read, I have come across gemstones. How precious these stones are! Ruby gem allows authentication. Authentication includes logging into an app and creating new accounts. Ruby gem is a perfect fit.
