Let's Learn Programming Logic with PSeInt
My father in his spare time always researches useful tools or applications that can be implemented in his university classes. On this occasion, I found one of those applications quite interesting and innovative. It caught my attention. It is a tool for learning programming logic.
Programming logic has always been a problem for novice programmers. Here comes the classic concept (which I tend to disagree): "Logic is not made, is born". I think there are people that born with it and others that develop it (including those who are on the first scene, can develop this hability much more).
This is where this application, called PSeInt shows on. It is a tool that uses pseudocode to learn programming logic, aimed at inexperienced programmers. This pseudocode can be converted into a flow chart or may be executed either debugged like a normal application. But a drawback for my English readers is that the application is only available in Spanish.
PSeInt is more than a project. Represents the effort of a group of students, professors and staff from the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (Argentina). I think projects like this should be promoted in our countries in order to improve education with tools that use the latest technology and are available to all who need it.
Among the features that I like are:
- Cross-platform.
- Uses an easy language.
- Availability of help and examples.
- It allows you to execute and debug the code.
- Exportation to flowchart.
- Constant updates.
The following images are screenshots I took from the application:
Image 1. Main interface of the application.
Image 2. Exported flowchart from the application.
Image 3. Execution of an code written in PSeInt.
I try to look for some alternative in English but it was a failure. If you know any similar application do not hesistate to write it on the comments, so I am able to review it and make a new post about it.

Aprendamos Lógica de Programación con PSeInt
Mi padre en sus momentos libres siempre investiga sobre herramientas o aplicaciones útiles que pueda implementar en las clases que imparte en la universidad. En esta ocasión, una de esas aplicaciones me pareció bastante interesante e innovadora. Me llamó mucho la atención. Es una herramienta para aprender lógica de programación.
La lógica de programación siempre ha sido un problema para los programadores novatos. Aquí entra el clásico concepto (el cual no estoy muy de acuerdo): "La lógica no se hace, se nace". Considero que existen personas que nacen con ella y otras que la desarrollan (inclusive esas que nacen con ella la desarrollan mucho más).
Es ahí donde entra esta aplicación, llamada PSeInt. Es una herramienta que utiliza pseudocódigo para aprender lógica de programación, dirigida a programadores inexpertos. Este pseudocódigo puede ser convertido en un diagrama de flujo o bien puede ser ejecutado o depurado como si fuese una aplicación normal.
PSeInt es más que un proyecto. Representa el esfuerzo de un grupo de estudiantes, profesores y colaboradores de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral (Argentina). Pienso que proyectos como este deben ser impulsados en nuestros países para poder así mejorar la educación con herramientas que utilicen las últimas tecnologías y que estén disponibles para todos los que la necesiten.
Entre las características que tiene que me gustan son:
- Multiplataforma.
- Utiliza un lenguaje sencillo.
- Dispone de ayuda y ejemplos.
- Te permite la ejecución y depuración depurar el código.
- Exportación de tu pseudocódigo a diagrama de flujo.
- Actualizaciones consistentes.
Las siguientes imágenes son pantallazos que yo tomé de la aplicación:
Imagen 1. Interfaz principal de la aplicación.
Imagen 2. Diagrama de flujo exportado por la aplicación.
Imagen 3. Ejecución de un aplicación escrita en PSeInt.

FUDCon LATAM 2011 - Third Day
The third day was the best. The talks presented were well received by the audience. Daniel Bruno explained that Latin American Infrastructure in Fedora. This helped to decide the future of this important branch of the Fedora community.
One of the most awaited talks: "Why You are all idiots?" By Kanarip, was one of the most interesting. People were very curious about what was going to expose. Many questions emerged and were resolved by Kanarip.
Tatica presented about photo on GIMP. I had to speak about the use of Eclipse as a development platform. Many of the vi and emacs users realized the benefits that have Eclipse. During my presentation we realize the presence of Johel Batista, a 14-year fedorian who runs a website called Ayudinga.com. It consists of a question and answer space where ideas are shared.
Parallel to my presentation of Eclipse, Juan Rodriguez of Paraguay (Jared Smith) was talking about "How to be the next leader of the Fedora Project?". It was one of the most popular presentations, because Jared was revealing the secrets of his success as a leader of the Fedora Project.
Later came the lunch. Followed were with the "Lightning Talks." Antonio explained how to develop personalized and automated systems. Neville explained about OpenStreetMap. Finally, Johel detailed his website and urged the audience to publicize his site.
After the "Lightning Talks" began the Hackfests. Tatica speak of marketing, while Igor and others organized the Latin American Fedora Infrastructure. Larry explained the use of Spacewalk. Gomix was in the process of graduation of the new packagers. Haks and Tatica were coordinating the art for Fedora 16.
To end the sessions of that day, Igor made a comparison of this and the previous FUDCon, sharing the experiences of their team leaders, Alejandro (Panama) and Antonio (Chile). Alejandro extended his thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the event.
At night we were in the FUDPub. The event rise in Bowling El Dorado. It was the best because all fedorians shared as a family. We ate, drank and enjoyed bowling. It was a very important opportunity to seal the bonds of friendship that sprang from FUDCon.
There was a great surprise, was a birthday cake for Fedora 15. It was immense. Everyone was surprised and happy. Luis Bazan and other fedorianos eat "literally" the cake. Apart from that, everything was excellent.
Thank you again to all who contributed ideas, effort, time, words and all his energies to make the event like a star in the sky. Later I will be posting my general summary of the event, where I will present in detail, my views and feelings.
Goodbye.

FUDCon LATAM 2011 - Tercer Día
El tercer día fue muy provechoso. Las charlas que se presentaron recibieron una gran aceptación por parte de la audiencia. Daniel Bruno explico en que consiste la Infraestructura Latinoamericana de Fedora. Esta presentacion ayudo a que se decidiera el futuro de esta importante rama de la Comunidad Fedora.
Una de las charlas mas esperadas: "Why you are all idiots?", por Kanarip, fue una de las mas interesantes. La gente estaba muy curiosa sobre lo que iba a exponer. Muchas preguntas emergieron y fueron resueltas por Kanarip.
Tatica hizo su presentación sobre Fotografía con GIMP. A mi me tocó exponer sobre la utilización de Eclipse como plataforma de desarrollo. Muchos de los usuarios vi y emacs, se dieron cuenta de las bondades que tiene el Eclipse. Durante mi presentación nos percatamos de la presencia de Johel Batista, un fedoriano de 14 años que administra un sitio web llamado Ayudinga.com. Consiste en un espacio de preguntas y respuestas donde se comparten ideas.
Paralelamente a mi presentación de Eclipse, Juan Rodriguez del Paraguay (Jared Smith) estaba hablando sobre "¿Cómo ser el próximo lider del Proyecto Fedora?". Fue una de las presentaciones mas concurridas, debido a que Jared estaba revelando los secretos de su éxito como líder del proyecto Fedora.
Posteriormente llego el almuerzo. Seguido estabamos con las "Lighting Talks". Antonio explicó como desarrollar sistemas personalizados y automatizados. Neville explico sobre OpenStreetMaps. Finalmente, Johel detalló su sitio web y exhortó a los presentes a divulgar su sitio.
Después de los "Lighting Talks" empezaron los Hackfests. Tatica hablo de marketing, mientras que Igor y otros organizaban la Infraestructura Latinoamericana de Fedora. Larry explico la utilizacion de Spacewalk. Gomix estuvo en el proceso de graduacion de los nuevos empaquetadores. Paralelamente Tatica y Haks estaban coordinando el arte para el Fedora 16.
Para terminar las sesiones del dia, Igor hizo una comparativa de este FUDCon y el anterior, haciendo decir sus experiencias como líderes de equipo, a Alejandro (Panamá) y a Antonio (Chile). Alejandro extendió su agradecimiento a todas las personas que aportaron al éxito del evento.
En la noche estuvimos en el FUDPub. El evento dió lugar en los Bolos del Dorado. Fue lo mejor del FUDCon porque todos los fedorianos compartimos como una verdadera familia. Comimos, bebimos y disfrutamos de los bolos. Fue una oportunidad muy importante para sellar los lazos de amistad que nacieron del FUDCon.
Hubo una gran sorpresa, llegó un dulce de cumpleaños de Fedora 15. Era de un tamaño inmenso. Todos estuvieron sorprendidos y contentos. Luis Bazan y otros fedorianos comieron "literalmente" del dulce. A parte de eso, todo fue excelente.
Agradezco nuevamente a todos los que aportaron sus ideas, su esfuerzo, su tiempo, sus palabras y todas sus energías para que el evento fuera un estrella del cielo... brillante.
Más adelante estare escribiendo mi resumen general del evento, en donde presentaré, en detalle, mis opiniones y sentires del mismo. Hasta luego.

FUDCon LATAM 2011 - Second Day
We arrived the second day and enjoyed many conferences and hackfests. The presence of people was very acceptable, similar to the first day. There was a negative aspect that bothered me and it was the sudden change of schedule and the lounges by the virtualization speekers. That was not fair to the fellow fedorians who had already allocated a room for their presentations.
The speeches given this day were phenomenal. Itamar and his presentation of "Fedora ARM" taught us the goodness that is cross-compiling. Ambassadors learned enough of the "Tips and Recommendations for the Ambassadors' given by Neville. Henry, along with the other people, explained in detail how virtualization works through KVM.
For those interested in marketing, Tatica made his presentation on "Marketing and Logistic Inside." Those interested in packaging, Kanarip spoke of "Software Packaging, RPM, Guidelines, Build Systems But Why?". Those interested in design learned a lot from Juan Barba on Inkscape.
Neville later talked about the "Fedora Landscape." Guillermo presented the basic concepts of community development of Fedora RPM. Kanarip explained the use of cloud for Fedora.
We tasted a delicious lunch and shared ideas of the conferences made. After that we heard interesting talks such as: Fedora Design Team, Koji Build, WebServer at Home, Fedora Private Mirrors, Internazionalization, GNOME3, OLPC and Drops Dead.
After that, hackfests began. Gomix made Ruby Coding Dojo and Tatica worked on Fedora Magazine. In short, was full of knowledge, full of work but in the end, everything was excellent. I hope the third day finished as the top two. I say goodbye and see you on the third day.

FUDCon LATAM 2011 - Segundo Día
Llegamos al segundo día y disfrutamos de muchas conferencias y hackfests. La presencia de las personas fue bastante aceptable, similar al primer día. Hubo un aspecto negativo que me molestó y fue la modificación repentina del horario y de los salones por parte de los expositores de virtualización. Eso no fue justo con los compañeros fedorianos que tenían ya asignado un salón para sus presentaciones.
Las conferencias dadas en este día fueron fenomenales. Itamar y su presentación de "Fedora ARM" nos enseñó las bondadas que tiene la cross-compiling. Los embajadores aprendieron bastante de los "Consejos y Recomendaciones para los Embajadores" dada por Neville. Henry, junto a otras personas, explicaron, en detalle, como trabaja la virtualización a través de KVM.
Para los interesados en mercadeo, Tatica hizo su presentación sobre "Marketing and Logistic Inside". Los interesados en empaquetamiento, Kanarip habló de "Software, Packaging, RPM, Guidelines, Build Systems But Why?". Los interesados en mercadeo aprendieron mucho de Juan Barba sobre Inkscape.
Posteriormente Neville habló sobre el "Fedora Landscape". Guillermo presentó los conceptos básicos de la comunidad de desarrollo RPM de Fedora. Kanarip explicó el uso de cloud para Fedora.
Degustamos de un delicioso almuerzo y compartirmos ideas de los conferencias que se estaban dando. Luego de eso escuchamos charlas interesantes tales como: Fedora Design Team, Build Software with Koji, WebServer en Casa, Fedora Private Mirrors, Internazionalization, GNOME3, Dead Drops y OLPC en Nicaragua.
Después comenzaron los Hackfests. Gomix comenzó el Ruby Coding Dojo. Tatica trabajó sobre el Fedora Magazine. En realidad fueron bastante provechosas para el público que asistió.
En resumen, estuvo lleno de conocimiento, lleno de trabajo pero, en fin, todo salió excelente. Espero que el tercer día termine tal como los dos primeros. Me despido y nos vemos en el tercer día.

FUDCon LATAM 2011 - First Day
This was the first day, a day full of knowledge, friendship and, above all, Fedora. This day was carried to success through the efforts of the international team of Fedora, the local team and everyone who attended the conference.
Everything was well organized and followed the schedule. Everything was done in the Building 184 of the City of Knowledge. I started giving a little welcome speech, thanking the City of Knowledge and all the sponsors, and the attendees. In addition, I described the event.
Jared Smith then spoke a very interesting and deep speech of the Fedora community. This talk used analogies, which I thought was very creative.
Later, I explained what is a BarCamp. Igor Soares and other members of the Fedora community were organizing the votation. Eventually it became the schedule as it appears on the event wiki.
Then, Toshio Kuratomi explained his theme: "Python for System Administrators". It was a very accepted by the public, as presented, with great simplicity, the advantages and strengths that has the programming language Python.
Then we had lunch (the Fedora team), in Building 105. The lunch was a total delight. The other tasted of some tasty snacks.
At about one in the afternoon talks renaud. Guillermo Gomez was the first to expose. Its topic was "Network in Fedora". It was a full discussion of how networks work in Fedora. I actually quite liked. There were many questions.
The topic then by Valentin Basel, "Educational Robotics and Hardware to Software Libre", produced great impact on the audience.
Later Edwin Contreras spoke on "What makes people live Free Software?". This talk I found very uplifting because he presented his views about working with free software and, at the end, he agreed with him.
Oscar Torres, Dell, spoke a little about what is "Virtualization" and presented the main features of it. He was giving away some small gifts to those who answered their questions and, equally, those who asked.
To end the session Jared Smith presented the topic "Technical Documentation", where he presented the DocBook tools, their characteristics and method of use. The public likes the versatility of the tool.
After many presentations, we decided to eat some burgers at "El Corral", located in Albrook Mall. Finally, we return to the villages where we share experiences, uploading photos, and writing in our respective media.
I thank all those who put a grain of sand to make the event as it is coming out. I hope with all my heart, that the event continues as it is doing currently.
I could not finish this blog without providing some photos taken at the event. Since I have no camera, show some links with the albums of people who do take photographs:

FUDCon LATAM 2011 - Primer Día
Este fue el primer día, una jornada llena de conocimiento, amistad y, sobre todo, Fedora. Este día se llevó al éxito gracias al esfuerzo del equipo internacional de Fedora, el equipo local y todas las personas que asistieron a las conferencias.
Todo fue muy bien organizado y seguía el horario establecido. Se dió en el Edificio 184 de la Ciudad del Saber. Yo inicié dando unas pequeñas palabras de bienvenida, agradeciendo a la Ciudad del Saber y a todos los patrocinadores, y a los presentes. Además, describí el evento, los días que durará, entre otros detalles.
Luego habló Jared Smith, líder del proyecto Fedora, el cual dió una muy interesante y profunda charla sobre la comunidad Fedora. Esta charla utilizó bastante analogías, lo cual me pareció muy creativo.
Posteriormente, yo expliqué en qué consiste la mecánica del BarCamp. Igor Soares y otros miembros de la comunidad Fedora estaban organizando los temas y la votación. Al final quedó el horario tal como aparece en la wiki del evento.
Seguidamente, Toshio Kuratomi expuso su tema: "Python for System Administrators". Fue un tema muy aceptado por el público, ya que presentaba, con mucha sencillez, las bondades y fortalezas que tiene el lenguaje de programación Python.
Luego tuvimos el almuerzo (el equipo Fedora), en el Edificio 105. El almuerzo era una total delicia. Los otros degustaron de unas ricas boquitas.
Como a eso de la una de la tarde se renaudaron las charlas. Guillermo Gomez fue el primero en exponer. Su tema era "Network in Fedora". Era una exposición completa de cómo funcionan las redes en Fedora. En realidad me gustó bastante. Hubieron bastantes preguntas.
El tema expuesto después por Valentín Basel, "Robótica Educativa con Software y Hardware Libre", produjo gran impacto en la audiencia. Fue una exposición teórica-práctica, donde inicialmente explicó el porqué de su proyecto y, finalmente, echó a andar el robot, lo que causó alegría en el público.
Posteriormente Edwin Contreras habló sobre "¿De qué vive la gente que hace Software Libre?". Esta charla me pareció muy edificante porque él presentó su punto de vista respecto al trabajo con el software libre y, a las finales, estaba de acuerdo con él.
Oscar Torres, de Dell, expuso un poco sobre lo que trata "Virtualización" y presentó las características principales de la misma. Él estuvo regalando unos pequeños regalos a los que respondían sus preguntas e, igualmente, los que le preguntaban.
Para finalizar la sesión de charlas Jared Smith expuso el tema de "Documentación Técnica", donde presentó la herramienta DocBook, sus características y forma de utilización. Al publicó le gustó por la versatilidad que tiene la herramienta.
Después de tantas presentaciones, decidimos ir a comer unas excelentes hamburguesas de "El Corral", ubicado en Albrook Mall. Finalmente regresamos a las villas donde estuvimos compartiendo experiencias, cargando las fotografías que se tomaron y escribiendo en nuestros respectivos medios.
Agradezco a todos los que pusieron un grano de arena para que el evento salga como está saliendo. Espero, de todo corazón, que el evento siga como lo está haciendo actualmente.
No podría terminar esta bitácora sin presentar algunas fotos que se tomaron en el evento. Ya que no dispongo de cámara, mostraré algunos links con los álbumes de la gente que sí tomo fotografías:
