Definition of Terms
In order to proceed, it is time to define some terms so that when they are used throughout this project, they will be understood for the purposes of this project:
Computer science: a catch-all term used to identify the art of making a computer do unique things. Computer scientists study new ways to use a computer.
Computer programming: The act of telling a computer how to behave when it runs a specific piece of software. This is done using a type of programming language.
Code: The basic language used for computer programming. Certain programs require the use of certain languages. For example, iOS applications require the use of Objective-C, while other applications require C++. Still others require Java. Code.org teaches people the basics of code using the Blockly language, which was designed for beginners.
