Your Guide to Different Types of Coding Languages

With hundreds of coding languages in existence, it can feel overwhelming to break into the world of computer programming or introduce these concepts to students.  With help from our Vice President of Engineering, Brian Kellner, Sphero is here to break down why various coding languages are developed, the most popular types of languages and their applications, and where beginners should start on their coding journey.  But first, let’s start by learning what exactly a coding language is and why different types exist. What is a coding language? A coding or programming language is a tool used to deliver a set of instructions for a computer to follow. Because computers “speak” in binary —  strings of 1s and 0s  — coding languages were developed  to translate these 1s and 0s into a language that humans can more easily read and write.  Brian explains this definition further, stating, “I think of a programming language as a way for a human to tell a computer to do s...

China's Mars rover spotted on the surface by orbiting spacecraft

  China's Mars rover spotted on the surface by orbiting spacecraft There's a long tradition of orbiting  spacecraft looking down on Mars and picking out the tiny machines  on the surface below. The latest entry in this lineage comes from China's Tianwen-1 mission. The orbiter snapped a picture of the Zhurong rover and its lander on June 2. The China National Space Administration shared a look at the landing zone in Utopia Planitia, a broad plains region, on Monday. China is only the second nation to operate a rover on Mars, after the US.  The rover and lander can be seen as small specks near each other in the top right-hand side of the image. Zhurong is the lower of the two dots. The other notable spots are where parts of the landing system, including the parachute and heat shield, landed.  "The dark area surrounding the landing platform might be caused by the influence of the engine plume during landing," CNSA said in a statement. "The symmetrical bright str...
