Understanding Coding Languages
BRIAN PICHMAN | Evolve Project
!
What Code Should I Learn?
Welcome
In this webinar, we will cover the different types of environments one may want to code for; whether that is apps, websites, programs that run on
Windows, scripting, and more. Are you interested in learning code and considering if Java, PHP, CSS, Python or another language help bring a
project to life? If you have a high-level approach to coding or are working on teaching patrons how to code or providing guidance to others, this will
be a great resource to have.
We will learn about coding, types of code, and your " building-block" languages that eventually get you (or patrons) to the end goal of being a
wizard coder. Resources for further education will be discussed in this webinar so you will have excellent next steps to continue your journey in a
world of 1's and 0's.

Why Code? !
• Can help teach troubleshooting in a more
meaningful way
• Make a “computer” do what you want it to
do
• Job market opportunities
• Build something useful and start a business
• Most of todays technological advancements
are through the use of code
• Automation of repetitive tasks or
procedures

So What Is Coding? !
Coding is involved in almost every aspect of our lives. From posting on Facebook, to your smart phones, to games, to websites, to this very
webinar. Coding makes things happen, and they are simply instructions to make the “magic” happen.
Think of coding for computer programs as writing down the steps needed to do something.
Evolve Project | Brian Pichman

How Do Computers Work
Coding is made up of three things !
!
"
# $
Algorithm
An ordered set of steps to solve a
problem (not always a mathematical
problem)
Process
A series of actions/steps to
achieve an end result
(do THIS to get THAT)
Procedure
A series of actions performed in a specific order.
(Follow these STEPS to get THAT)

What is a programming language? !
A programming language is set of rules that provide a way of telling a computer:
What operations to perform
Communicating an algorithm
Receives an input from the user and generates an output.
A programming language is a system for describing a computation (math) or algorithms (logic) in a machine-readable and
human-readable form.
Has words, symbols, and grammatical rules (natural language)
Grammatical rules = Syntax
Each language has a different set of syntax rules
Has semantics (meaning)

Few Basic Programming Terms
Coding Basics "
#$%
Variables and Arrays Operators Flow Control Functions
Evolve Project | Brian Pichman
16
A variable is a bucket that holds one piece of information. A variable can
change value when
• Specific conditions are met
• Based on user input
Variables & Arrays
Coding Basics !
Examples (concept)
$string_myhomelibrary = “Montgomery Library”;
$numeric_variable= 100;
$myname = “Brian”;
Evolve Project | Brian Pichman
17
An array is a type of variable (or bucket) that holds many pieces of
information.
Variables and Arrays
Coding Basics !
Example (language doesn’t matter here; the concept does):
$FavoriteCities = array(“Orlando”, “Boulder”, “Miami”)
$FavoriteCities[0] holds “Orlando”
$FavoriteCities [1] holds “Boulder”
$States = array(“1” => “Prime”; “FL”=> “Florida”, “CO” => “Colorado”)
$States[“FL”] holds “Florida”
Evolve Project | Brian Pichman
18
• Arithmetic
• +, -, *, / (add, subtract, multiply, divide)
• Assignment
• = (assign the value of 2 to the variable called v)
• $v = 2;
• += (“Add the value of 3 to the variable that already
holds 1”)
• $v += 3; // $a now holds 5
Operators

Flow Control – Readable Programming Languages
Coding Basics !
Sequence
Reads like a book, the instructions are executed in
the same order they where given.
OPEN the door
WALK inside the room
SIT on a chair
PICKUP a book
READ the book.
Choice
With choice, instructions are executed based on
variables, commands, outputs, etc.
Continual
With continual, instructions are executed based
on variables, commands, outputs, etc … as they
remain true
Evolve Project | Brian Pichman
20
Flow Control – Readable Programming Languages
Coding Basics !
Sequence
OPEN the door
WALK inside the room
SIT on a chair
PICKUP a book
READ the book.
Choice
If Then
if (something is true/conditions are met) {
then do this
}
If Then Else
Else: XYZ
Starts the same as “If Then” but allows a result
if condition is false
Else If
if (something is true/conditions are met) {
then do this
} elseif (another something is
true/conditions are met) {
then do this instead
}
Continual
While (or repeat)
while (something is true) {
do something here
}
for
for (something is true) {
do something here
}
Evolve Project | Brian Pichman
21
Putting Flow Control Together
1) Sequence
Go to the library
Check out a book
Read the book
Return the book
2) Choice
If you have a library card, you can check out books.
Otherwise open a library card account.
3) Repeat
Continue to read the book till there are no more pages.
Evolve Project | Brian Pichman
22
A function is type of procedure or routine
• A function usually returns a value
• A procedure preforms an operation but typically doesn’t provide a
value
Most languages have pre-built or pre-defined functions in its library.
• For instance, the “delete” function means to “remove”. You don’t have
to code what “remove” does; only what to remove.
Functions
Coding Basics !
What could you “code” for
23
Coding Platforms !
With coding websites and web
apps; there are front end (what
users see) and back end (what
admins see) that have to be
considered
Websites and Web Apps
Web Based
You may not realize it, but the
servers and databases that run
the things you use every day also
has a level of coding involved
Infrastructure
Databases / Servers
As more new technology for self-
driving cars and digital assistants
grows, there will be a need for
these kinds of engineers
The Hottest Trend
Machine Learning / AI
Often referred to as “thick”
clients, applications that can be
installed are coded – and each
different operating systems
requires different code
Software
Applications
What could you “code” for
24
Coding Platforms !
Video Gaming
Video games is much more than
great graphics, every character
interaction, move, and story has
to be coded
Make Games Work
Apps that run on mobile devices
need specialized coders as well!
There’s an app for that
Mobile Apps
Evolve Project | Brian Pichman
25
Flash Light Examples
Understanding AI !
If an ML algorithm makes an
inaccurate prediction, then the
engineer needs to correct. In DL,
the algorithms can determine on
their own if a prediction is accurate
or not.
Deep Learning
Allow machines to make to their
own accurate decisions without
intervention from engineer
Neural Networks"
#
If detects {dark} turn on {light}
Logic Rules
$
it’s performing a function with the
data given and gets progressively
better at that function
Machine Learning
Eventually, the system can turn
on the light with other queues
such as “I can’t see”
DL “Code”
Flashlight will turn on automatically
as it learns other words for “dark”
picking up on phrases that contains
the word
ML “Code”: %

• When editing or using filters in photos (do X to eyes and Y to ears)
• Identification of license plates from an image in a toll violation
• Facebook’s ability to identify and recommend faces in photos
• iPhone users can have their phone categorize people by facial
patterns – in which you then define their name
• Google’s Image Recognition
Examples
How we see AI In Everyday Life
Image Recognition !
Think of how we can use facial imaging
to determine moods
Basics of Computer Coding: Understanding Coding Languages
Evolve Project | Brian Pichman
28
You probably see this everyday if you use Siri, Google Home, or an Echo
Product.
Overtime or with training, a system can tailored results based on
identifying the user asking. For example, Google Home will provide my
personal driving times to work if it hears me ask “how long will it take me
to get to work” versus a friend asking who it has no data on.
Examples
How we see AI In Everyday Life
Voice Recognition !
Think of how a system can respond
and remember a user based solely
on their voice
Basics of Computer Coding: Understanding Coding Languages
Evolve Project | Brian Pichman
30
And How We Use It
Other Forms of AI !
Optical Character Recognition
Think of how a picture of your license plate allows
a machine to translate that to text and run a query
to determine who violated a toll.
Also see this in scanners that can take an image
and convert this to text.
Consider how you can take a photo of another
language and have it translate to yours
Advance User Preferences
This is the concept of an AI providing solutions
based on historic user’s preferences and
comparing it to similar users.
Compare how Amazon or Netflix makes
recommendations based on your purchases or
views – or even how Amazon guesses when you
might run out of a specific product.
Sensory Data Analysis
Your wearables that detect heart rate for instance
can determine without user intervention if you
are working out and even what kind of work out
such as jogging or bicycling.
What do you need to know to be an AI Engineer?
31
Skills For Learning !
Understanding data and how to
read data sets is valuable

32
Coding for Websites !
Evolve Project | Brian Pichman
33
There are many ways to program
Requirements !
Getting Started
If you’re programming, you’ll need a spot to “host” your code. If its web facing, you could use
sites like Blue Host or Google Cloud computing. For internal applications, you can set up a
“LAMP” stack, and often be able to host everything off a single computer. Lastly, you’ll need to
run software to actually code
There are are also different ways to code:
These would be often hardware specific applications that allow the creation
or customization of physical hardware, drivers, or firmware.
Machine Languages
Operating Systems like Mac, Windows, and Linux can be given commands to
do things. Job Control, Shell Scripting, Text Processing
Scripting
"
#
Use a computer screen to do most of the coding for you. For example, you don’t need to
code the dimensions of a “text box” just put one in and resize it to what you need

Traditional Programming Languages (cont’d.)
• BASIC
• Beginner s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.
• Developed at Dartmouth College in mid 1960s.
• Developed as a simple language for students to write programs
with which they could interact through terminals.
Traditional Programming Languages (cont’d.)
• C
• Developed by Bell Laboratories in the early 1970s.
• Provides control and efficiency of assembly language
• Often used for system programs.
• UNIX is written in C.
Object-Oriented Programming Languages
• C++
• It is C language with additional features.
• Widely used for developing system and application software.
• Graphical user interfaces can be developed easily with visual
programming tools.
• Windows Based
Object-Oriented Programming Languages
• JAVA
• An object-oriented language similar to C++ that eliminates lots
of C++ s problematic features
• Allows a web page developer to create programs for applications,
called applets that can be used through a browser.
• Objective of JAVA developers is that it be machine, platform and
operating system independent.
Special Programming Languages
• Scripting Languages
• JavaScript and VBScript
• PHP and ASP
• Perl and Python
• Command Languages
• sh, csh, bash, cmd
Special Programming Languages
• HTML
• HyperText Markup Language.
• Used on the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW).
• Web page developer puts brief codes called tags in the page to
indicate how the page should be formatted.
• XML
• Extensible Markup Language.
• A language for defining other languages.
Considerations when choose languages
• Proprietary
• Microsoft Languages (C#, C++, Visual Basic)
• Oracle (Java)
• Open Source
• PHP
• Python
• Standardized Languages
• HTML
• Databases
• Microsoft SQL (Microsoft), MySQL (Open Source), NoSQL (now Apples)
• Formerly: Run-time performance
• At one point, a well performing computer was costly, so
lightweight languages had to be used, concise commands, and
less “flashy” design
• Now: Life cycle (human) cost is more important
• Ease of use for both user and programmer
• Cost of maintenance (debugging, updates, etc)
What determines a “right” language

  • 14. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 14 What is a programming language? ! A programming language is set of rules that provide a way of telling a computer: What operations to perform Communicating an algorithm Receives an input from the user and generates an output. A programming language is a system for describing a computation (math) or algorithms (logic) in a machine-readable and human-readable form. Has words, symbols, and grammatical rules (natural language) Grammatical rules = Syntax Each language has a different set of syntax rules Has semantics (meaning)
  • 15. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 15 ! Few Basic Programming Terms Coding Basics " #$% Variables and Arrays Operators Flow Control Functions
  • 16. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 16 A variable is a bucket that holds one piece of information. A variable can change value when • Specific conditions are met • Based on user input Variables & Arrays Coding Basics ! Examples (concept) $string_myhomelibrary = “Montgomery Library”; $numeric_variable= 100; $myname = “Brian”;
  • 17. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 17 An array is a type of variable (or bucket) that holds many pieces of information. Variables and Arrays Coding Basics ! Example (language doesn’t matter here; the concept does): $FavoriteCities = array(“Orlando”, “Boulder”, “Miami”) $FavoriteCities[0] holds “Orlando” $FavoriteCities [1] holds “Boulder” $States = array(“1” => “Prime”; “FL”=> “Florida”, “CO” => “Colorado”) $States[“FL”] holds “Florida”
  • 18. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 18 • Arithmetic • +, -, *, / (add, subtract, multiply, divide) • Assignment • = (assign the value of 2 to the variable called v) • $v = 2; • += (“Add the value of 3 to the variable that already holds 1”) • $v += 3; // $a now holds 5 Operators Coding Basics !
  • 19. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 19 Flow Control – Readable Programming Languages Coding Basics ! Sequence Reads like a book, the instructions are executed in the same order they where given. OPEN the door WALK inside the room SIT on a chair PICKUP a book READ the book. Choice With choice, instructions are executed based on variables, commands, outputs, etc. Continual With continual, instructions are executed based on variables, commands, outputs, etc … as they remain true
  • 20. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 20 Flow Control – Readable Programming Languages Coding Basics ! Sequence OPEN the door WALK inside the room SIT on a chair PICKUP a book READ the book. Choice If Then if (something is true/conditions are met) { then do this } If Then Else Else: XYZ Starts the same as “If Then” but allows a result if condition is false Else If if (something is true/conditions are met) { then do this } elseif (another something is true/conditions are met) { then do this instead } Continual While (or repeat) while (something is true) { do something here } for for (something is true) { do something here }
  • 21. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 21 Putting Flow Control Together 1) Sequence Go to the library Check out a book Read the book Return the book 2) Choice If you have a library card, you can check out books. Otherwise open a library card account. 3) Repeat Continue to read the book till there are no more pages.
  • 22. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 22 A function is type of procedure or routine • A function usually returns a value • A procedure preforms an operation but typically doesn’t provide a value Most languages have pre-built or pre-defined functions in its library. • For instance, the “delete” function means to “remove”. You don’t have to code what “remove” does; only what to remove. Functions Coding Basics !
  • 23. What could you “code” for 23 Coding Platforms ! With coding websites and web apps; there are front end (what users see) and back end (what admins see) that have to be considered Websites and Web Apps Web Based You may not realize it, but the servers and databases that run the things you use every day also has a level of coding involved Infrastructure Databases / Servers As more new technology for self- driving cars and digital assistants grows, there will be a need for these kinds of engineers The Hottest Trend Machine Learning / AI Often referred to as “thick” clients, applications that can be installed are coded – and each different operating systems requires different code Software Applications
  • 24. What could you “code” for 24 Coding Platforms ! Video Gaming Video games is much more than great graphics, every character interaction, move, and story has to be coded Make Games Work Apps that run on mobile devices need specialized coders as well! There’s an app for that Mobile Apps
  • 25. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 25 Flash Light Examples Understanding AI ! If an ML algorithm makes an inaccurate prediction, then the engineer needs to correct. In DL, the algorithms can determine on their own if a prediction is accurate or not. Deep Learning Allow machines to make to their own accurate decisions without intervention from engineer Neural Networks" # If detects {dark} turn on {light} Logic Rules $ it’s performing a function with the data given and gets progressively better at that function Machine Learning Eventually, the system can turn on the light with other queues such as “I can’t see” DL “Code” Flashlight will turn on automatically as it learns other words for “dark” picking up on phrases that contains the word ML “Code”: % ♥ '
  • 26. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 26 • When editing or using filters in photos (do X to eyes and Y to ears) • Identification of license plates from an image in a toll violation • Facebook’s ability to identify and recommend faces in photos • iPhone users can have their phone categorize people by facial patterns – in which you then define their name • Google’s Image Recognition Examples How we see AI In Everyday Life Image Recognition ! Think of how we can use facial imaging to determine moods
  • 28. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 28 You probably see this everyday if you use Siri, Google Home, or an Echo Product. Overtime or with training, a system can tailored results based on identifying the user asking. For example, Google Home will provide my personal driving times to work if it hears me ask “how long will it take me to get to work” versus a friend asking who it has no data on. Examples How we see AI In Everyday Life Voice Recognition ! Think of how a system can respond and remember a user based solely on their voice
  • 30. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 30 And How We Use It Other Forms of AI ! Optical Character Recognition Think of how a picture of your license plate allows a machine to translate that to text and run a query to determine who violated a toll. Also see this in scanners that can take an image and convert this to text. Consider how you can take a photo of another language and have it translate to yours Advance User Preferences This is the concept of an AI providing solutions based on historic user’s preferences and comparing it to similar users. Compare how Amazon or Netflix makes recommendations based on your purchases or views – or even how Amazon guesses when you might run out of a specific product. Sensory Data Analysis Your wearables that detect heart rate for instance can determine without user intervention if you are working out and even what kind of work out such as jogging or bicycling.
  • 31. What do you need to know to be an AI Engineer? 31 Skills For Learning ! Understanding data and how to read data sets is valuable https://dzone.com/articles/ten-machine- learning-algorithms-you-should-know-to Math and Algorithms Statistics Learning how inputs of code can interact physical parts Hardware + Software Robotics Learning to code at a basic level with syntax and flow; then move to Python (most common) https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/top-5-best- programming-languages-for-artificial- intelligence-field/ Coding Languages Coding Learning this is a huge skill to master, along with object recognition https://www.pyimagesearch.com/start- here-learn-computer-vision-opencv/ How Do Computers See Computer Vision
  • 32. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 32 Coding for Websites !
  • 33. Evolve Project | Brian Pichman 33 There are many ways to program Requirements ! Getting Started If you’re programming, you’ll need a spot to “host” your code. If its web facing, you could use sites like Blue Host or Google Cloud computing. For internal applications, you can set up a “LAMP” stack, and often be able to host everything off a single computer. Lastly, you’ll need to run software to actually code There are are also different ways to code: These would be often hardware specific applications that allow the creation or customization of physical hardware, drivers, or firmware. Machine Languages Operating Systems like Mac, Windows, and Linux can be given commands to do things. Job Control, Shell Scripting, Text Processing Scripting " # Use a computer screen to do most of the coding for you. For example, you don’t need to code the dimensions of a “text box” just put one in and resize it to what you need GUI – Graphical User Interface $ # $ "
