...Visual Basic has been labeled to be the most successful programming language in the history of programming. In 1991, Microsoft built Visual Basic on the older BASIC language – Beginner’s All purpose Symbolic Instruction Code (Mabutt). In the late 1980s, Alan Cooper, owner of Tripod, developed drag-and-drop interface, Ruby, which was also an influence to the idea of Visual Basic (History of Visual Basics). Just like any spoken language, rules must be followed in order to create effective communication between two people. For programming languages, it is necessary to follow all naming rules in order to build the program. Visual Basic’s variable name rules are as follows: Up to 255 characters, names must begin with a letter, no embedded spaces or special characters are to be used besides the underscore “__”, there cannot be a reserved word, uppercase and lowercase should be used with a purpose, and names cannot be repeated with the same level of scope (Visual Basic Naming Rules). If a developer does not follow these rules when using Visual Basic, there will be errors that may occur even before the program can be tested. Python Python is another common programming language, and was influenced by the design of ABC (Lukaszewski). In the 1996, Guido van Rossum created his very own version of ABCs, which we all know now as Python (Lukaszewski). Python is a basic syntax used for statement grouping, a list, strings, and numbers (Lukaszewski). Because it is another programming language...

...‘Visual Basic’ Developer: Microsoft Appeared in: 1991; 24 years ago OS: Microsoft Windows and Ms - DOS HISTORY: Alan Cooper, the 'father' of Visual Basic, shows a drag-and-drop shell prototype called Tripod to Bill Gates. Microsoft negotiates to buy the concept, now code-named Ruby. The Tool includes a widget control box, the ability to add widgets dynamically, and a small language engine. Visual Basic is Microsoft's high-level object-oriented rapid application development environment for the Windows platform. The first versions of Visual Basic were intended to target Windows 3.0 (a version for DOS existed as well), however it was not until version 3.0 for Windows 3.1 that this programming language gained large-scale acceptance in the shareware and corporate programming community. VB 1.0 was introduced in 1991. The approach for connecting the programming language to the graphical user interface is derived from a system called Tripod (sometimes also known as Ruby), originally developed by Alan Cooper, which was further developed by Cooper and his associates under contract to Microsoft. Visual Basic is a third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft for its COM programming model first released in 1991. Microsoft intended Visual Basic to be relatively easy to learn and use. Visual Basic was derived from BASIC and...

...assumed that the learning styles are different at all instructional levels so in the result of that assumption the search is kept broad and extensive. Literature about impact of visual aid presents diversified evidences. In the first section of literature review a few studies which were conducted on business professionals are discussed and the second section consists of studies conducted on students. Scheiber and Hager (1994) provided relatively strong evidence in support of visual aid, and concluded that the visual aid plays a crucial role for making and delivering an effective presentation. Further they also found from a survey conducted on managers that more than two thirds of the respondents “very frequently” or “frequently” gave presentations. Visual Images demonstrate life or learning as it happens. They represent and suggest a visual representation similar to that of journal entries, artefacts’ and field notes (Bach, 2001). In using visual narrative in the learning environment we can be given an opportunity to evoke memories whereas Bach discussed ‘a memory around we construct and reconstruct life stories’ (2001, pp7). Visual narrative research makes visible different parts or stories that can then be later looked upon, just as photographs are used in the historical or family history sense. Most of all it enables us to look at a scene in our lives with different perspective, transformation of fixed memories is available (Bach, 2001). Photographs can allow us...

It is therefore a source of communication put into meaning by ones ideology and inspiration, which allows us to related to Art in our own way. Visual Arts evokes conversation and seeks to solve problems of creativity and visual communication which has become a dominant global, social, racial, political, religious and capitalist force. The commercialization and commodification of this Visual Art shapes perceptions of visual cultures and visual communication. Art is therefore a reflection of a society influenced by ones own self concepts and experiences. – Differences + Value = Meaning society puts to define differences.

For example when we were younger we was all taught cruise but, not all of us use cruise now. We was all taught that when we was younger so in idealism teacher is the type of teacher that will teacher you cruise because of the history and generations before us learned it so they will teach it. This is the type of teacher I would want to be like because I feel the history behind us is still very important. I would also teacher some new event to my student as well but will also touch basic on everything I’ve learned in the past plus what’s I didn’t learned that I believe is important.+ Event that happen in my past is what makes me a strong believer in a idealism would be my third grade teacher.

...The Definition of Special Needs The special educational requirements of those with learning difficulties, emotional or behavioural problems or physical disabilities (Dictionary.com) Every child has basic needs (physical, emotional, social,..) but children with special needs have additional needs on top of these basic needs. Special Needs are divided into two categories: 1. High Incidence Special Needs 2. Low Incidence Special Needs High Incidence special needs are special needs that occur fairly frequently, such as Borderline general learning disability, Mild general learning disability and Specific learning disability. Low Incidence special needs are special needs that occur relatively infrequently, such as Physical disability, Hearing impairment, Visual impairment, Emotional disturbance, Autism/autistic spectrum disorders. The History of Special Needs Provision in Ireland According to Swan, the History of special needs provision in Ireland was divided into three stages; The era of neglect and denial The era of the special school The era of inclusion and/or integration In the era of neglect and denial the education of children with special needs was deemed unnecessary as the Government only recognized their needs as medical. Children were housed in asylums, hospitals and County homes. At this time the government also established the National Education System and made school attendance mandatory for all children deemed “normal”. In the...

...for certain applications or domains leaving only a few representing general-purpose multimedia description. As of today, the MPEG-7 seems to be recognised as the most complete general-purpose description standard for multimedia. Whether the MPEG-7 multimedia description standard qualifies as an appropriate general-purpose description standard and is compliant with the requirements of such a standard is a discussion beyond the scope of this thesis. MPEG-7 is an ISO/IEC (International Standards Organization/International Electro-technical Committee) approved standard developed by MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group), a working group developing international standards for compression, decompression, processing, and coded representation of audio-visual data. The standard was initialised in 1996 and it represents a continuously evolving framework for standardising multimedia content description. In the context of this thesis the proposed MPEG-7 standard represents an assessment and basis for evaluation of a general MIRS’ ability to adequately, according to the standard, describe image-media content applied in a digital museum context. The following review of the MPEG-7 standard is based on MPEG-7 documentation (2003) and is merely intended to provide an overview of the standard and to emphasise the image- media specific descriptive...

...Dartmouth Basic- was created by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz on May 1, 1964. Basic stands for Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code . The aims of the BASIC system were: to develop a system and language that was friendly, easy to learn and use, to introduce computing as an adjunct to other courses, to operate an open access policy (i-programmer.info, 2010). Pascal- was created by Niklaus Wirth in 1972. He wanted a language suitable for teaching but for teaching computer science. It is best described as a simplified version of Algol. It was simplified both to make it easier to learn and to make it easier to compile (i-programmer.info, 2010). C- Was created by Ken Thompson iin the form of B and tweaked by Dennis Ritchie and renamed C in the 1970’s. It was the original code Unix was written in. Its function was for ease of use (i-programmer.info, 2010). Forth- was created by Charles H Moore in the 1970’s. The motivation behind this language was for both interactive execution of commands and the ability to compile sequences of commands for later execution (i-programmer.info, 2010). PLEX (Programming Language for EXchanges)- was created by Goran Hemdahl at Ericsson in the 1970’s. It is a special-purpose, pseudo-parallel and event-driven real-time programming language dedicated for AXE telephone exchanges, It is a propriatary language (i-programmer.info, 2010). 1980’s Atari ST BASIC – Atari commissioned MetaComCo to write a version of BASIC that would...
