Re: Team 166 Programming Workshop - BETA Open House

Will there also be a webcast/online portion?

I think it would be nice to show to my new programming members.

All of the materials that we (Chop Shop 166) will be posted online afterward, and a link will be posted in this thread.

Re: Team 166 Programming Workshop - BETA Open House

Oh then, will it go over the basics of programming? I asked my mentor to set up a date or at least a list of programmers so I can tutor them... He never got around to it... So may be I can just show them the video

Re: Team 166 Programming Workshop - BETA Open House

It will not, We are going over what has been changed in the beta, and a project our team has been working on that can benefit c++ programmers. We will also be going over Source control.

I didn't mention it, but I don't think there will be a video of our presentation, but the slide shows and all the documents we show will be posted.

Re: Team 166 Programming Workshop - BETA Open House

As someone who has experience with programming in general ex I know C, some C++, java and plenty more but not WPIlib or anything with the cRIO would this be helpful. This is my rookie year (and my team's) and I am doing all the programming for my team so I've been reading up on WPILib, even so, would it do me good to go to this? I ask because I can get there just not super conveniently.

Thanks

Re: Team 166 Programming Workshop - BETA Open House

To be honest, I don't think it would prove worth it for you. We will be going over whats changed since last year, and talk about Source control, for teams with multiple programmers. We will also go over a project that our team has been working on for teams using c++.

As I said earlier, all the materials will be posted online afterward, so you can look at them later. If you have any questions then I'd be glad to answer them.

Re: Team 166 Programming Workshop - BETA Open House

Brad Miller (WPILib author) will be present and will talk about Java programming and WPILib in general. So I think this would be a great opportunity for any programmers wanting more knowledge about WPILib.

There will also be a Q&A period and if time & # of attendees permit, an opportunity to work hands-on with WPILib.

Depending on the groups attending, we can tailor the presentation.

Re: Team 166 Programming Workshop - BETA Open House

"C++ for Dummies" is a really nice book. Pricey at $30 (Barnes & Noble), but it includes sample code and Code:Blocks (freeware) for installation. It won't tell you everything you want to know, but a nice primer.

Re: Team 166 Programming Workshop - BETA Open House

If your talking about the slideshows, I posted a link in my previous post, but they can be found at Beta Workshop

Otherwise, can you please clarify your question?

Re: Team 166 Programming Workshop - BETA Open House

Just so you know, the link to the Google Code page for framework166 on your website is broken (Sub-Teams -> Software -> Framework repository links to http://code.google.com/p/framework-166/ instead of the correct http://code.google.com/p/framework166/)

There is a lot of interesting and useful ideas in framework166, especially your approach to multitasking. Thanks for releasing the code, it will come in handy for the upcoming year!
