This week I learned a lot about java. At CodingBat I completed many warm-up exercises and even more string exercises. I learned how to write boolean, string, and int programs. The first problem I did on CodingBat was pretty confusing, but after I saw how to do it, they were all pretty simple. The string problems were very easy for me because I did some string problems in the warm-up exercises. I enjoy doing these exercises because everyone is like a riddle and you have to think of how to solve them.
I am currently working on making smiley face, but I don't really know how to run the turtle program that Mr. Ragland told us to download. I feel like I have no idea what I am doing. I am having trouble with the java compiler, but I guess I will just keep on trying. I want to get this done before I go to Scout camp tomorrow. I think this is the most confusing part of everything we have don this week.

FIrst Intro to Programming Blog
The first week of Intro to Programming was different than what I expected. It is pretty easy but I learned that you do have to be aware of what is going on. From Wednesday to Friday, I was camping and when I came back, there was a lot of work waiting for me. Additionally, I forgot to write this blog until Mr. Ragland sent us a message to do the blog. I will try to be more aware of what is going on.
The first couple assignments were pretty easy. It only took me around two minutes to write about my best and worst teachers. Also, using Animoto, my introduction was pretty simple. The Hello World project was pretty confusing, but after downloading Eclipse and looking at a tutorial, I did it.
The discussion boards seem to help me a lot. Other people's problems helped me figure out what to do. Also most people in this class are very helpful and quick to answer questions. Leon seems very knowledgeable about programming and he is very helpful.
Next week I am going to Scout camp. I do not know how or if I will be able to catch up with everything that went on during this week, but I will talk to Mr. Ragland and I am sure that I will manage.
