Although I’ve been with WordPress for a few years and I always leave just to come running back to wordpress, this time it is for real. I will unfortunately for WordPress will be hosting my own blog over at Rantula.net. I thank all the people who followed my blog and engaged with my posts and asked that you continue to follow me into my new website. Please and thank you.
Educational
Coding With Algoid
Algoid, or rather Al, is a nifty “learners” programming language much like Scratch. The field of programming is expanding and with it so are new ways of learning how to break into the field, whether it’s for hobby or for money. Before speaking in regards to Algoid I must first explain its differences with the learning language Scratch. Scratch was developed with the idea of children in mind. It is a fairly simplistic language/IDE that allows the users to “drag and drop” code in order to develop small cartoons, games, etc. Although it is a fantastic idea, it is not totally appealing to a more teen-adult audience.
Now, Algoid is a programming language developed by CyaNn. The language was developed as a learning language for those of all ages wishing to learn how to code. Learning is done so through the use of “code snippets.” The neatest thing about this language is that the IDE is available for Mac, Linux, Windows, Android, Rasberry Pi and Web Browsers. I want to draw close attention to the Android IDE because this allows users to learn on the go with a tablet or smartphone as apposed to traditionally using a laptop or home computer to learn programming. The IDE is broken into two sections allowing users to run and view their code. Anyone wishing to learn more about Algoid can visit the main site at http://www.algoid.net. Tutorials can be found at AlgoidTuts and also in the Android app store.
