Tips: Creative Learning of Apple founder, Steve Wozniak - This year even BASIC age 50 years . For those of you who do not know , is a BASIC programming language used in Apple computers . At the Apple I and Apple II , Steve Wozniak even developed its own version of BASIC .
As co-founder of Apple and the man who developed the Apple I and II , Woz interest towards programming has begun at school in 1967. Woz It even managed to design a video game called Breakout .
If you are currently a pioneering effort or a programmer who wants to continue to learn , it never hurts to see Woz success . There are at least two important things you can learn from Steve Jobs intimates .
1 . Design a for yourself, first and foremost
In the end you really need to test your works to the consumer . But for the first step , designing the product for yourself is the smart way to go. Uber founder and StumbleUpon , Garrett Camp , admitted also perform a similar way to consumer preferred products . Those who successfully designing for yourself Wozniak claimed to be inspired utterance :
" We do not have a computer at school but GE , I think , has brought a terminal and a modem to promote their business to a time-sharing school . Few students who are good at Mathematics ( including Woz ) given some assignment sheet and then we write a very simple program BASIC format . I believe it is a very simple and easy to start learning a programming language , but unfortunately the terminal there are only a few days at our school . "
That early start Woz interest in programming languages . A few years later , Woz joins the Homebrew Computer Club , and that's BASIC back Woz interest . He found a book in the club titled " 101 Games in BASIC " very caught his attention . He was very confident the popularity of computer games will make every home needs .
" I was a fan of computer games and believe once I have developed my own computer so I will be able to write [ program ] all the games I want to play . With that in mind , I assume that it will be a key early home computer revolution . Nature of non - existing businesses in me prevented me to spit my plan for the purpose of marketing or finance . "
From the beginning of that Woz start to program in BASIC and make a variety of video games . The important thing is the experience Woz , he taught himself about programming languages , having experience in writing during school programming . According to Woz , he does not know if he wrote the program correctly because he knows that he has made runs programs such desire .
2 . Create questions ' key ' for your invention
Our research suggests that most entrepreneurs can remember the questions that they wear when starting his business . Dell founder , Michael Dell , and even revealed that the idea to set up a Dell Computer arise when he asked ourselves why computers cost 5x more expensive than the price of all its components . " I preteli a computer ... and the total price of all the components is $ 600 but sold for $ 3,000. " The question then create sebbuah Dell's new business model is considered by many as a revolution in the computer business .
As with Dell , away days Woz also implement the key question for themselves . Two questions that he used and eventually capable of producing the Apple I and II and at the same time revolutionized the world of computers is :
- Using BASIC , you can program the moving object and make it move like a real animation ?
Woz had designed Breakout for Atari games in the form of hardware . Therefore, he wondered if he could make a similar animation arcade type games in the form of software ( using BASIC ) .
- When a computer with 4KB of RAM is able to be purchased by consumers ?
For Woz , 4KB of RAM is the minimum needed a computer to be able to run homemade games using BASIC . In the late 1960s , only a few computers with 4KB of RAM could not be separated from the price is very expensive , even the equivalent of a down payment on a house .
Without love Woz on BASIC , it could be the iPhone and iPad will not form and function like today . In other words, an iPhone and a laptop that you use is also indebted to BASIC , including those developed by Woz through thoughts :)
