Programming Workshop For Classes VIII to XII

A programming Workshop is being organized for the students of classes VIII to XI.

The workshop will concentrate on the building of logic and tactics to use when solving typical programming questions in competitions. The focus will be based on building, from the ground up, enough knowledge and opening of minds so as to help in improving both the quality of code produced as well as the algorithm used to solve problems. 
The basic logic program will focus on:
1.  Puzzles and Preliminary – type questions
2. Advanced Logic Standard structures (Magic squares, Eight queen problem, etc.)
3. Encryption / Decryption
We will have syntax explanation which will be language specific. The participants will be taught the basics of the language of their’ choice, i.e. among VB and C++. This will be done in two groups as required. In this session we will be explaining: 
1. Logical and Conditional Operators
2. Looping
3. Array Manipulation – 1D and 2D
4. String Manipulation
5. Basic Text – Mode graphics and how to achieve graphical effects (If time permits)
The workshop will be held on Wednesday, 10/09/08 in the stayback time, i.e. 1:30 to 3:30. Games Route buses will ply. The workshop may be attended by all interested, it is NOT necessary to be in Exun for the same.
Hoping to see all aspiring programmers – this will definitely prove to be a course that will open your minds and equip you with the skills to build yourself further.
