This summer, in my &#8220;free&#8221; time I intend to work my way through my old copy of Teach Yourself C and the several Objective-C books I own. While I do play with various languages and tools, from AppleScript to PHP, I&#8217;ve never managed to master Objective-C &mdash; which is something I want to do.<\/p>\n<p>As I&#8217;ve written several times, knowing simple coding techniques is a practical skill and one that helps learn problem solving strategies. Even my use of AppleScript and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) on a regular basis helps remind me to tackle problems in distinct steps, with clear objectives from step to step.<\/p>\n<p>There are many free programming tools that students should be encouraged to try. On OS X, the first two tools I suggest to non-technical students are Automator and AppleScript. These tools allow you to automate tasks on OS X, similar to the batch files of DOS or the macros of WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3. Automator and AppleScript are great for taking routine tasks and converting them to one-step actions.<\/p>\n<p>An example use for AppleScript or Automator might be creating a folder that instantly resizes and converts images into JPEG thumbnails. I also have an Automator action attached to a &#8220;rename&#8221; folder. I use this folder to append prefixes or suffixes to files I am going to archive. Learning these tools saves me hours of time each year.<\/p>\n<h3>Programming Environments<\/h3>\n<p>When I introduce students to VBA, I explain that Microsoft Office macros are programs. You develop, edit, and debug VBA code in&nbsp;an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Most modern programming suites are built around an IDE, so VBA offers a great starting point. You edit code using a special editor that provides &#8220;code completion&#8221; (called by different names in various IDEs) and syntax checking. The user interface is created visually, often with drag-and-drop ease.<\/p>\n<p>If you are comfortable with VBA macro editing, then moving to another IDE experience isn&#8217;t that difficult.<\/p>\n<p>What if you do decide to learn &#8220;real&#8221; programming, beyond macros and scripts?<\/p>\n<h3>Programming on OS X<\/h3>\n<p>I do suggest sticking to C\/C++\/Objective-C on the OS X and iOS platforms. Plus, free is a good price &mdash; which is what Apple&#8217;s tools are. Xcode is a good IDE, though it can confuse people familiar with the VBA environment or Microsoft&#8217;s Visual Studio. The Xcode experience is improving with each update, thankfully. Some developers prefer Xcode to other IDEs, but I&#8217;m still not persuaded. It is a matter of preference.<\/p>\n<p>I do want to offer a link to REALstudio, though (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.realsoftware.com\/\">http:\/\/www.realsoftware.com\/<\/a>). Formerly REALbasic, RS supports OS X, Windows, and Linux. Not a bad product, but you have to consider the fact that Apple is notorious for leaving third-party tools behind. If a school wanted to teach object-oriented programming using a tool that is flexible and cross-platform, RS should be considered. The fact REALstudio supports Web development makes it worth a look, too.<\/p>\n<h3>Programming on Windows<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to learn to program on Windows, Microsoft offers free &#8220;Express&#8221; learning editions of their tools. I happen to like Visual Basic (I know, blasphemy) as a starting point for many people. To obtain the free editions of the Microsoft tools, visit the Express website (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/express\">http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/express<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Universal&#8221; Programming Tools&nbsp;Java remains an important alternative on all major platforms, though I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;d teach Java to beginning programmers. If you do want to learn OOP using Java, try BlueJ (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluej.org\/\">http:\/\/www.bluej.org\/<\/a>). There is also another education edition of Java tools, Project Greenfoot (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenfoot.org\/\">http:\/\/www.greenfoot.org\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Many programmers now use Eclipse and NetBeans for C, C++, and Java development. While Eclipse (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eclipse.org\/\">http:\/\/www.eclipse.org\/<\/a>) is the better known of the two IDEs, I prefer NetBeans (<a href=\"http:\/\/netbeans.org\/\">http:\/\/netbeans.org\/<\/a>).&nbsp;Either way, what you learn will be easily transferred form one to the other.<\/p>\n<p>Some &#8220;old-fashioned&#8221; programmers have suggested teaching to code using a text editor and command line compiler instead of some fancy IDE. The reality is, today&#8217;s applications are generally visual. Also, the IDE editors are a better experience. You could teach C\/C++ from a command prompt, but why?<\/p>\n<h3>Learn a Language!<\/h3>\n<p>I encourage everyone to learn something about coding on his or her platform of choice. You will gain a great deal of appreciation for how the technology you use daily is developed. You will also gain new appreciation for the need to analyze problems in &#8220;chunks&#8221; to solve them consistently and accurately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Late last night I installed the update to Apple&#8217;s OS X programming tool suite, Xcode 4.
