Unit 1

On Monday of last week, we started with CS Academy. As I mentioned in the introduction of this blog, CS Academy is a free coding platform. The lines of code you use in CS Academy are actually based on Python. CS Academy consists of a main stream with exercises and projects, depending on the specific course you are in. It also provides you with a sandbox, in which you can place your code freely. When you code, you have a board in which you can input strings and syntaxes, you have a ‘canvas’, on which you receive the drawings you code, and a ‘Console’ in which errors output. When you work on your canvas, there is very useful tool called the Inspector. The ‘Inspector’ tells you the properties (color, radius, size, etc) of the shape you put your pointer on.
