My project was straightforward but challenging for me with the program Scratch. How I overcame the challenges was to keep re-watching the tutorials and reading online about how to use Scratch. I can’t believe kids are starting coding, and I am in my 30s, but it is never too late to start learning! The insights I have gained about programming for this exercise is that this is like a play. You start with the characters and tell them what to do, and it becomes a neat show. Comparing my experience programming in Scratch to the partition activity is two different programs.

The textbook activities showed how to read it correctly. Using Scratch it was hands-on and more simplified. A computer understands Machine language and only contains numbers 0’s and 1’s, which the computer understands. Assembly language is also 0’s and 1’s, which is a textual human-understandable representation of the machine language, so when it is humanly readable, it converts to machine language. High-level languages are pretty much a converter to the systems. None of the languages I found were easy to use; they all have different meanings. While participating in the textbook, I found machine language more straightforward to learn than the other two programming languages. With machine learning, the best scenario, I believe, would be in the medical field, where it can analyze data and search through large volumes of health data to make sure things are correct with each patient learning the algorithm of each patient. Assembly language would be the point of sales systems. Even though it is a low language, it works fast. High-level languages would be 3D movies, which can handle lots of data and transcribe it onto the screen of 3-D glasses. Python is the most popular programming language because Python also is considered a high-level language that is easiest to learn and use for newcomers.
In conclusion, learning with Scratch and the textbook was a rough assignment for me as a beginner. It took me a few hours to complete, but I did it with the help of the internet and steps on how to use Scratch. This course so far has taught me more about coding and all the programming languages to learn. It is a learning curve for me since I am in the telecommunications industry. This course explains how computers, devices, etc., are made more in-depth.
