Programming with a PBJ sandwich
- In this episode, we'll explore the process of writing a computer program. Real computer programming code can look pretty cryptic. To get us started programming, I want to bring it to the mundane. So let's make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, really. When programmers sit down to write an app, they need first to figure out what they want to accomplish, so start with a simple flow chart. The goal is to create a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You have bread, peanut butter, and jelly. Combine these three ingredients to get the end result. And then we eat the sandwich, yum. Once you've created a flowchart, it's time to work through the step-by-step process in English to make sure you know how the app will work.
