Re: A new step in collaboration: FIRST Programmers' Guild
I'm in. I like the pseudo-code idea. If we just provide blocks of code then people who use them might just throw them into their code and expect them to work. It may not work because they did not setup the input and outputs correctly or something else (like the Default_Routine) overwrites the result. We can provide examples of how to translate pseudo-code into real code. Since they do the translation themselves, they will learn more about coding (just like the "Teach a man how to fish" proverb).
