About This Manifesto

Have you ever argued for or against teaching language X as the first language in a university computer science curriculum? If so, I hope that your arguments:

were first and foremost about students, considering the question “What do we want students to gain from their experience with a first language?”, not “Is language X better than language Y?” because the latter question requires too much context and isn’t really answerable;
kept in mind that ultimately we want to train polyglots, so the first language is never the only language; and
took into account previous work from computing educators, and education theorists and practitioners in general.

                Instructions for a UFO 3-D Codealong using the p5js editor
              
          
    Code Along

Brief notes on a 45 minute code-along I like to do to introduce P5.js, 3-D graphics, variables, objects, conditionals, and animation.

(Optional) make an account for the p5js editor
Go to https://editor.p5js.org/
File -> New if not already at a new file
Name it if you like
In function setup, replace line with createCanvas(500, 500, WEBGL);
Run (hit the "Play" button)


## enum.py
# Makes an enum class with instances (class attributes) having uppercase
# names while the string representations can be in any case. For example,
# Color = enum_class('Color', 'red', 'amber', 'green') returns class Color
# with members Color.RED, Color.AMBER, and Color.GREEN. The __str__ instance
# methods produce 'red', 'green', and 'blue', respectively. To get the
# instance from the string, use, for example, Color.from_string('blue'),
# which will return Color.BLUE.

Name: (ENTER YOUR NAME HERE)
Problem 1: Forcing Keyword Arguments

Suppose the boss demanded a function to compute the area of a rectangle. The boss says the function MUST have four parameters, x1, y1, x2, and y2 where (x1, y1) is one of the corner points and (x2, y2) is the other corner point. But since our users can never remember what order the four parameters go in (Is it x1-x2-y1-y2 or x1-y1-x2-y2?), we will make our function REQUIRE that the four arguments in the call be “named.” Note that I said required. The function is not supposed to work if the arguments are not named. In fact, it should be an error to make a call without “naming” the arguments.
a) Write the function in JavaScript:

  
## main.rs
use std::io;
use std::cmp::Ordering;
use rand::Rng;

fn main() {
    println!("Guess the number!");

    let secret_number = rand::thread_rng().gen_range(1, 101);

    loop {
	import java.lang.reflect.Field;
	public class MontyPython {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
	Field v = Integer.class.getDeclaredField("value");
	v.setAccessible(true);
	v.set(3,5);
	System.out.printf("Ready the holy hand grenade!\n");
	Thread.sleep(1000);
	System.out.printf("%d\n", 1);
	Thread.sleep(1000);
	# Makes an enum class with instances (class attributes) having uppercase
	# names while the string representations can be in any case. For example,
	# Color = enum_class('Color', 'red', 'amber', 'green') returns class Color
	# with members Color.RED, Color.AMBER, and Color.GREEN. The __str__ instance
	# methods produce 'red', 'green', and 'blue', respectively. To get the
	# instance from the string, use, for example, Color.from_string('blue'),
	# which will return Color.BLUE.

	def enum_class(classname, *values):
	cls = type(classname, (), {})
	>>> p = 36469
	>>> q = 50929
	>>> n = p * q
	>>> n
	1857329701
	>>> e = 65537
	>>> d = pow(e, -1, (p-1)*(q-1))
	>>> d
	395695169
	>>> m = bytes("¿Dónde está ud.?", "utf-8")
