1. Applications Of Your Growing Potential

2. What We’ve Been Doing We’ve been writing Java programs In an IDE called Eclipse For desktop and laptop computers

3. But the World is Changing Desktops and Laptops are extremely important and where most serious computing takes place But there are other technologies to take advantage of:

4. Smartphones First smartphone in 1971 by Paraskevakos PDAs and Blackberrys through the 90s/early 2000s Apple reveals first iPhone in 2007 First Android phone comes out 2008

5. Mobile Apps A new opportunity for enterprising developers Creates a platform for everyone’s ideas Growing untapped potential As it stands now, Android/iPhone are your best targets

6. Android A mobile operating system developed by Google Many manufacturers make phones which run the Android OS Android apps are written in Java (woohoo!) Download Android SDK and ADT (eclipse plugin) for free! Publishing apps is relatively easy

7. iPhone Apple’s smartphone, runs iOS iPhone apps are written in Objective C Can be written with Xcode Have to pay $99/year and develop on a Mac (boo!) Apps are subject to a review process before publishing

8. Pros/Cons Android Pros: - familiar language/IDE - developing is free - publishing is easy - majority of market share Cons: - many different phones to support - typically less $/download iOS Pros: - only 1 phone to support - typically more $/download Cons: -new language/IDE - $99/yr - need a mac (kind of) - stricter publishing

9. Embedded Systems What if you have an idea which requires more than just a computer or a phone? What if you want a “smart” hammer which keeps track of how many strikes it makes? What if you want to make curtains which automatically close when it gets too sunny? Then you need Arduino

10. Arduino A variety of low cost ($20 - $50) microcontrollers (simple computer) Uses a simple version of C/C++ Has digital, analog, and serial input/output (I/O) Many “shields” available which extend the Arduino (wifi, Bluetooth, touch screen etc) Arduino with sensors, motors, and shields is pretty unstoppable: 20 cool arduino projects

11. Sub-Disciplines of Computer Science We’ve spent the summer learning the basics of programming After you get the basics down there are many new areas to explore Here’s an overview of some of the big ones

12. Web Development All different kinds of websites you can make HTML gets your text/pictures on your webpage (HTML5 does more…) CSS makes your page look pretty Javascript is a browser/client side scripting language PHP is a server side scripting language Go to w3schools.com all of this and morew3schools.com

13. Databases Organized collection of data Typically queried with some form of SQL Ability to create/query/maintain DB’s is extremely useful Allows websites, mobile apps, desktop apps to know the same things Making databases faster is huge research area

14. Graphics The rendering of 2D or 3D space to a screen Involves lots of math (geometry/linear algebra) Computationally heavy (often limited by speed of comp) Requires clever/efficient coding Applications in video games, movies, other visual media Particle Emitter

15. Robotics A mix of engineering and computer science Creation and programming of autonomous machines Applications in manufacturing, retail, medicine, and more Math/physics heavy Robot Drone

16. And More… Computational Biology – analyzing biological data (i.e. DNA) Systems – Improving Operating Systems/Programming Languages Networks – Improving network protocols (i.e internet, data networks) Computer Vision – Allow computers to understand images Machine Learning – Allow computers to learn from data Algorithms and Data Structures – Be clever, get faster CS/Econ – Program trading strategies, make millions CS/Neuroscience – Get the brain/computer to understand each other

17. The End is just the Beginning That’s the end of our lessons this summer If you enjoyed any part of what we did, don’t stop Take another class, code more on your own, keep at it Change the world!

18. Thank You!
