Whoa Nelly!! This is the part where you learn about the logic and decision making. This section covers Variables, Conditions and Loops. I keep skipping ahead to see what else I’m covering, just in case you’re curious, section 3 covers Functions and Objects-it’s not slim reading either.
I’ve been sick and injured the last couple of days and I’m also dopped up on a new medication so, I’ve been reading in the doctor’s waiting room and I haven’t been able to go over the exercises. I got stuck on exercise 4-3, where you recreate what appears on the screen shot by changing the variables. I tried a few things and struggled with how one achieves it rather than what I do to execute it. the language is simple enough to figure out…but the programming logic is something that I struggle with.
I’ll do another post to let you know how I’m doing with the rest of the chapter. So far, when I was in school and learning about variables, you learn what it is and how it can be applied to a simple program. However, you don’t learn the extent of what variables can do and how it can alter your program. Sure it is a hassle to declare all of the variables that you want to be changeable. But it creates an opportunity to alter the program to create some very creative outcome. Processing is this regard. I learned about variables in AS3, it’s pretty dry, yet very important.
Alright, I need to finish up some grunt work...updating changes to a navigation for a website. Fun! I can’t say that with a smile. Hey, it pays the bills.
