[Year 12 SofDev] FW: Codea Excellent tutorials - programming on the iPad

[WEIR Andrew]

Sounds great Kevork,
Have been looking at it with a thought for 2015 elective so could be interested in acting as test case.
Might also be a good chance to get my coding brain back.

Hi Folks,

 Yes, it is early Saturday morning and I should be tending to my fledging tomato seedlings I put into the ground last week, but ....

I have got the Codea bug ...... I think it is eminently suitable at a number of levels to get young people to program on their iPads .  Here are a

Very basic simple, gentle series of 7 videos introducing Codea

More and more complexity

a very simple pong game can be developed in a week with the students actually understanding all the code ...

I hope to keep working on this to output a

1.       Beginners set of exercises / tutorials

2.       A follow up Intermediate set
Hopefully this will build to either a semester or a year of programming with the iPad learning principles of programming, objects and properties and perhaps further into classes .....

Anyone interested in joining the fun ?

Kindest Regards
