<h>Urbana Electronics & Programming Summer Program</h>
<p>When it comes to computers, it's almost required that you teach yourself
everything there is to know. This autodidacticism might work for some, but
becomes frustrating for preteens not used to it. On the other hand, in person
educational programs offered by schools are often aimed towards the lowest
common
denominator, oversimplifying things to the point where your child loses interest
in them.</p>
<h> For Course Notes scroll down</h>
<p>The Urban Computing and Electronics Summer Program aims to provide a
balance between this, offering practical and challenging course material, but
also providing in person tutoring for those who have little prior experience.
This two week program is tailored to your child's skill level and offers
topics ranging from High Level Programming, Low Level Programming,
Electronics, Web Design, Cyber Security, and UNIX system maintenance.</p>

<h>About Me</h>
<p>
My name is Haoran S. Diao, I'm a self taught electronics and programming
hobbyist.
I have experience in:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Electronics Software Drivers(kernel modules,microcontroller
code)</li>
<li>Electronics Hardware Design(Custom PCB design etc...)</li>
<li>Programming(C, C++, Golang, Java, HTML/Javascript/CSS, Python, Lua,
Bash
scripts)</li>
<li>Linux System Maintenance(I have written my own kernel module)</li>
Web Design(I have built http://themandelbots.com and
http://hairydiode.xyz and this site from scratch)
<li>Image Processing and Graphics(OpenCV and OpenGL)</li>
<li>Basic Computer Security(best practices, CTF challenges)</li>
<li>Robotics (Head programmer at the Urbana Mandelbots FTC team)</li>
</ul>
<p>
I have been:

<li>Head Programmer at the Urbana Mandelbots Robotics Team</li>
<li>Former Vice Present at a student run non-profit(Resigned)</li>
</ul>
<h>Course Details</h>
<h>---Required Course Materials</h>
<p>A dedicated laptop that Linux will be installed on, this can be any
obsolete laptop made after 2010. This does not have to be a very fast computer
at all. In most cases, previous data and OS will be wiped on installation of new
OS, but dualbooting(keeping both systems) can be done for certain computers. If
you can no provide a dedicated laptop then you can purchase a Raspberry Pi kit
for ~80 from me or online.</p>
<p>Optional Course Materials:</p>
<ul>
<li>-2 USB drives 8GB minimum, this is to help with file
transfer and
OS installation.</li>
<li>-USB wifi dongle, same as above.</li>
</ul>
<p>These will only be required for certain projects, you are not required
to bring these if we do not end up exploring that topic.</p>
<ul>
<li>3.b - An Arduino kit or PIC microcontroller w/
programmer.</li>
<li>4.b Ti-8* series calculator</li>
<li>7.c - USB wifi dongle</li>
</ul>

library.</li>
<li>c - Making Games with Pygame in Python.</li>
<li>d - Making Minecraft Mods with Java.</li>
</ul>
<li>3)Low Level Programming(closer to hardware):</li>

</ul>
</ul>
<h>C expressions course notes</h>
<p>
Bitwise Operators: &, bitwise and; |, bitwise or; ~, bitwise not; ^, bitwise xor.
Bitwise operators apply logic operations in each position of a binary number,
return the resulting binary number.
</p>
<p>
Boolean Operators: &&, boolean and; ||, boolean or; !, boolean not.
Boolean operators apply logic on whether then entire number is true or false,
and returns true or false.
</p>
<p>
Comparisons: >, greater than; <, lesser than; >=, greater than or equals;
<=, lesser than or equals; ==, equals; !=, does not equal.
</p>
<p>AND: if both are true, then the output is true. OR: if one is true, then the
output is true. XOR: if one is true and the other false, then the output is
true, otherwise it is false. NOT: if true, false; if false, true.</p>
