If you’re a programmer, you probably remember your first program as the classic program that outputs “Hello World!” to your display. The program is a nice, simple little program- but it’s ! Likewise for the numerous code examples for beginners that involve the variables and . Hello World Hello World BORING i j That’s why I’m setting off on a mission to create ! The book is called and it contains simple code examples that tell a story. Each code page contains a simple full C program that describes a situation in the story and demonstrates a new programming concept. The full page illustration next to the code page shows the situation. The code is also explained below each program. Here’s a sample code page: a picture book written in C code A Day in Code fun This is the accompanying illustration page: This book will be useful for kids (or anyone!) as a fun introduction to fundamental programming concepts and constructs like loops, loops, functions, etc. You can even use a C compiler to compile and run each program in the book! for while It’s a foundational language known as the “mother of all programming languages” and it’s one of the most widely used languages today. Common applications of C programming include databases, desktop applications, operating systems, computer games/graphics, and embedded systems. Why did I choose C? C is the most popular language in embedded systems! Microcontrollers are a common type of embedded system that control the operation of devices and appliances everywhere- they’re in phones, remotes, printers, cameras, washing machines, microwaves, thermostats, car control systems, etc. The Arduino is a popular open-source microcontroller platform that is programmed in C. I recently launched the book on Kickstarter! Check out here: A Day in Code https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/914595512/a-day-in-code
