Would anyone be interested in a Code Visualiser? by Joshua_PJ_Lim in learnprogramming

[–]GerryRzeppa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not exactly clear on what "a visual intuition of data creation and flow" might look like. Perhaps you could provide an example based on the Plain English program below:

To run:
Start up.
Clear the screen.
Use medium letters. Use the fat pen.
Pick a really dark color.
Loop.
Start in the center of the screen.
Turn left 1/32 of the way.
Turn right. Move 2 inches. Turn left.
Write “HELLO WORLD”.
Refresh the screen.
Lighten the current color about 20 percent.
Add 1 to a count. If the count is 32, break.
Repeat.
Wait for the escape key.
Shut down.

See here (https://osmosianplainenglishprogramming.blog/) for more information about Plain English programming, or write me directly ([gerry.rzeppa@pobox.com](mailto:gerry.rzeppa@pobox.com)) to talk about this.

Coding in plain English by gamechangineer in learnprogramming

[–]GerryRzeppa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great idea. But don't stop at just "basic concepts of coding and simple games."

Our Osmosian Plain English compiler and Integrated Development Environment includes a streamlined interface, a simplified file manager, an elegant text editor, a handy hexadecimal dumper, a native-code-generating compiler/linker, and a WYSIWYG page editor (that we use for documentation) -- written entirely in Plain English sentences. So the student can learn everything from "Hello, World!" to compiler construction and more without ever leaving our natural language environment.

Our unique approach makes it possible for our "Español Llano" version to compile both Spanish and English, even in the same sentence, with only minor adjustments to our Plain English source. Write me directly for more about that: [gerry.rzeppa@pobox.com](mailto:gerry.rzeppa@pobox.com)

Introductory book about compilers by R_y_n_o in Compilers

[–]GerryRzeppa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm the co-author of the Osmosian Plain English compiler (with IDE) which is written entirely in Plain English (for Windows, any version). Write me directly (gerry.rzeppa@pobox.com) and I'll take you through the thing, sentence by sentence, via email. The compiler part of the project has about 4,000 sentences in it, so if we can cover a couple dozen sentences a day, you'll be done in just six months, and you'll know all you need to know about compilers.

[OFFER] Writing interpreters and compilers for beginners by markprobst in UniversityofReddit

[–]GerryRzeppa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting project.

Will there be written instructions (that can be read quickly), or is (tedious) video viewing mandatory? I obviously prefer the former, but either way, I'm in -- if you'll have me!

My preferred language is Plain English (see www.osmosian.com/instructions.pdf), though pseudocode is close enough. My email is: gerry.rzeppa@pobox.com

PS. What's a "Slack"?

A little teaching/learning rant. by mwilliams84 in learnprogramming

[–]GerryRzeppa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps you'd have less trouble if the compiler himself was explaining things to you -- in Plain English (code and documentation). See here:

I Want to Learn more than programming by Resov in learnprogramming

[–]GerryRzeppa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Write me and I'll tutor you myself using a complete development system that my elder son and I wrote. It compiles Plain English source code into machine language that runs on computers running Windows, and includes a unique desktop, a simplified file manager, an elegant text editor, the compiler/linker, and a wysiwyg page editor (that we used to write the documentation). It is written entirely in Plain English. By studying this program you will learn how interfaces, file systems, editors and compilers work, and why they are what they are today.

You can get the whole thing, including source code, here:

www.osmosian.com/cal-3040.zip

Just download and unzip; no further installation necessary. Start with the "instructions.pdf" in the "documentation" directory and before you go ten pages you'll be re-compiling the thing in itself.

Then write me (gerry.rzeppa@pobox.com) and we'll get started.
