Basic Programming Concepts

1. Sequential operations: things happen in a specific order (top to bottom)
2. Looping: having the program repeat a section of code instead of copy-and-pasting it over and over
3. Decisions / “if” statements: choosing from different actions depending on a condition
4. Variables and state: remembering specific information, changing what happens depending on what’s happened before
5. Input / output: reacting to mouse, keyboard, voice, etc input and using movement, audio, video, etc output
6. Functions / procedures: putting reusable code into its own script, giving it a name, giving it parameters
7. Events: triggering a script based on a specific thing-that-happened
8. Objects: grouping data and code together into logical ‘types’
