Teaches programming to non programmers such as Testers, Office administrators, marketing people, system admins etc...It uses famous educational programming language called Karel for demonstrating different programming techniques. It covers IF statement, For Loop and creation and usage of Functions. It also tells little bit of programmable machine's history along with some introduction to digital electronics.

1. Programming for daily
life

2. Agenda
What is computer, program, input and output? Who is programmer?
Some history
Evolution of computers
Why I should learn programming
Writing first program
Basic things you know when writing programs?
Some theory (Only if time and you permits)

3. Programmer, Program, Machine&
Executor
Executor
Inputs
Program
Slow
execution

4. Little history
Abacus

5. History
I would say a wheel also has a program which is kind of hard coded
Input - pressure
Output - Rotation

6. History – programing wheels
Arranging wheels in different ways produce different programs.

7. Machines around us
Bit – On / Off

8. Circuit
Machines which accept more than one on/off conditions (1 bits) as input

9. The language of circuits – 2 way
switches

10. CPU – Universal circuit
Give me any
circuit
diagram. I can
act like that

11. When I don’t know programming?
I need
water
Workers
Translator

12. It fails sometime
Better ask
him write
down and
fire him
For
drinking

13. Why should I learn programming
.Hot..Hot..
Oh…God
Forgot to
ask him
how to
ask hot
water

14. Objects in programming
Program
Machine / Executor
Input
Output

15. Karel – A simple robot
A Programming language used for educational purpose
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karel_(programming_language)
Supported operations
Move()
TurnLeft()
Simulator

16. Making more tasks using Karel
Dynamic decision making using IF keyword
Repeat same job using LOOPING
Keep the instructions of one job in group called FUNCTION

17. Theory
Turing machine & Universal Turing machine.
Machine code
High level language
Compiling v/s interpreting

18. Thanks for asking questions
