Introduction to programming

New Computer Science at Khan Academy

My First Bash

First Bash Script video

Change the permissions of a script to run. Right click and change permissions

My First Variable

Introduces input (the read command)

and variables

The read command changes the variables each program run

	#!/bin/sh
	echo "enter two numbers"
	read a b
	c=$(($a+$b))
	echo "$a + $b = $c"
	# or
	let c="$a+$b"
	echo "$a + $b is $c"

Instant Bash

3 lessons starting with a Puppy style 'Hello world'

	#! /bin/bash
	# 16 Dec 2011 Lobster
	# Example 1 hello world example
	
	xpupsay "hello world"
	xpupsay "puppy power"

Vala

New Requires devx. ValaGenieintro Puppy Vala and Genie Intro

Smalltalk

Pharo is an implementation of Squeak, which is a unique version of the programming language 'Smalltalk'

Download and click on the pharo zip file

run the shellscript Pharo-1.3-13315-OneClick.app you find in the folder/directory

Pharo is now running

Now use the built in tutorial

Squeak and Scratch

Pascal

Because you're Wirth it

Python

Python is available in the Puppy programmers devx In Puppy 5.3.1 click on Slickpet icon and go to SFSget in Slickpet. Then click on the Gcc button to download and install. To run Pythn from terminal type python

New Run

Process for a new run from DVD booting

First Preparing

1. backup html bookmarks (onto HD)

2. move any essential files to hard disk

3. download and burn ISO

Now first run

1. use 'puppy pfix=ram' as the boot command (start typing when boot: appears on screen) I do this on first boot but is not required for new users

2. Turn on firewall from icon bar bottom right, left clicking runs wizard

3. Do a save after initial set up, I now do max 4GB saves

4. Click on 'Setup' top row of icons for tweaking

5. Use the 'connect' icon. Ethernet is auto connected.

6. In Rox options/thumbnails/show images - I prefer to see images in folders

7. Add my own backgrounds from Hard Drive (usr/share/backgrounds)

8. Change icons. Adjust the style of the clock with Menu -> General Utilities -> PupClockset manager.

9. Put on pup ad blocker, import bookmarks

Remastering
Before you remaster, you need to

1. rename /usr/sbin/xorgwizard to /usr/sbin/xorg-setup
2. copy the attached xorgwizard into /usr/sbin. ( right-click -> Save As) http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/xorgwizard

What is happening is that on first boot, the attached xorgwizard runs and Lucid boots to the desktop, then it renames xorg-setup to xorgwizard so that users can run xorgwizard. Sneaky, huh?

You also need to change the permissions on /root/Startup/fullstart. You could do that during the remastering process when it gives you a chance to adjust files in /root. The way I do it is to right-click and choose Permissions. So if the name fullstart turns green that means the permissions are correct for it to run on first boot.

creating a md5sum
# md5sum Lucid_Tmxxine-v1.iso > md5sumtxt
