For today’s video, we want to showcase an inspiring and informative
video by ResBaz alumna Isabell Kiral-Kornek. Using web programming with
D3 as a case study, she talks about the importance and fun of
programming, and gives some general-purpose programming tips.

Ever heard someone say the ‘words’ CGI or API or IOT or any of the other wonderful internet abbreviations and wondered what the hell they were talking about? Then today’s video is for you. Today’s video explores the concept of API with food analogies. They certainly know how to capture our attention! Mmmm…

If you ever thought your computer might be a zombie trying to destroy
your brain, today’s video starring Bill Gates might be just what you’ve been looking for! He convinces a zombie to switch its diet to flowers
using “If” statements, and in the process provides a very gentle
introduction to this important programming concept.

“The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room.” — Morpheus, The Matrix.
Matrices are a powerful form of mathematical notation. They are used in ubiquitous fields, from image processing to machine learning, from weather forecasting to interplanetary navigation. Some of the software we teach assumes you know what a matrix is, even if you don’t understand how matrices can have such universal applications “in the real world”.
We chose today’s video from Khan Academy to bring you up to speed on matrices if you haven’t seen them before. Or maybe you saw matrices once a long time ago in highschool, and would like a refresher? Either way we hope you enjoy:
Introduction to Matrices

For Day 2 of the Twelve Days of ResBaz, we found a couple of videos that explain some universal coding concepts.
Programming/Scripting Concepts Explained (Variables, Arrays, Strings, & Length):
What is an algorithm and why should you care?
Enjoy!

WELCOME TO RESBAZ 2017!!!
If you have registered to attend to 2017 ResBaz conference, you would have received an email kicking off our 12 Days of ResBaz. In the lead up to ResBaz, we will be posting a video a day. These are videos that explain concepts we think would help attendees get the most out of Resbaz 2017 in Melbourne!
We hope you enjoy them!
Day 1: Why programming is like standup comedy.
Not quite sold on programming yet? You acknowledge the benefits of programming but are unsure about what is involved in the process? In the first video we want to share with you, standup comedian Wayne Cotter explains why programming is like stand up comedy. As an added bonus, he also explains why you should look outside the stereotypes imposed by society and how programming helps you do that. After all, we can’t be responsible programmers without being responsible citizens.
