Computer Programming concept: Problem Solving

Understand programming concepts first! by SB Sanni. Knowledge of problem solving and programming concepts is a necessity for those who work with computers, either as programmers or as users. Unfortunately, many learners have greater difficulty with problem solving than they do with the syntax of computer languages or applications. Since problem-solving concepts are similar in all languages and applications, learners can learn them in one computer language. Then, the learners can concentrate on syntax. This arrangement not only saves time but also decreases frustration for everyone involved, and it improves the success rates of the learners. When I ventured into the world of computer programming, as a Newbie - without any computer science or programming background- it was a difficult experience as I was learning it on my own without any instructor, teacher or lecturer. I read books and watch online tutorials, still didn't understand 'Jack!' I nearly gave up, as a matter of f...

Programming is the new Mathematics : Enrol your kids for coding classes with us at Babatunde Elucidation

let us at Babatunde Elucidation make programming the new math for your kids. by SB Sanni. It is needless to say that Nigeria is falling behind the rest of the world in mathematics and science, and we may as well predict the detrimental effect for our future.  In over 20 states of the federation, computer science doesn’t even count towards high school graduation requirements. Although programming jobs are growing rapidly, yet it is also rapidly dropping in our educational sector. This is a skill that can be taught as early as possible in primary schools, yet it’s not even offered in these schools. Obviously we are not preparing our students for the hantle of problems that lie ahead. In order to curb this issue, that's where Babatunde Elucidation comes in. But first, lets analyse the issues at hand. The first step in solving a problem is to recognize its need to be solved. Today an estimate of 5% of students study programming in Nigeria. If we triple that to 15%, we clos...
