Obama wrote a line of code on JavaScript
US President Barack Obama took part in the “Hour of Code” shares (in Russia - “Code hour”), which is held for schoolchildren. He listened to the instructions for working in the visual environment Code Studio , in which “programming” is carried out by dragging the corresponding blocks (the environment teaches the JavaScript language).
At one of the stages of the training game, the US President introduced the team “MoveForward (100);”, which shifted the heroine of the game of 100 pixels forward and allowed her to draw a square.
As Hadi Partovi, the general director of the non -profit organization Code.org, who arranges the “hour of code” explained , Obama specified whether it was necessary to put the title “F” and wrote the entire line correctly.
The action “Hour of the code”, which is held in December, is aimed at attracting schoolchildren to programming. In 2014, the action takes place in Russia.
Draw one line to complete the square - do not send a rocket into space. And this is exactly the essence. Informatics begins with this. You do not create a full-fledged game when you write the very first line of code-you write something simple, such as Print “Hello World”.
