programming language
a computer language engineered to create a standard form of commands
Programming is a process of
problem solving
Algorithm
step-by-step problem-solving process
Compiler
identifies the syntax errors and also suggests how to correct them
Logic Flow
Sequence, selection, repetition
Oval
Start/end
Arrow
Connector to show relationships
Parallelogram

Personal AI Agents
AI Systems that act on behalf of users to complete tasks autonomously
OpenClaw
open-source personal AI agent that interacts with tools and software
Capabilities
Autonomous multi-step task execution; Uses tools (browser, APIs, applications); Reasoning Loop (Observe -> think -> act)
Takeaway
AI is evolving from assistant to autonomous operator
Blockchain Technology
Distributed ledger technology
Ledger
decentralized record keeping system
Consensus
Must validate and approve new transaction/block
Peer-to-peer network
Bitcoin; instead of centralizing, everyone has access to every blockchain
Secured
Uses cryptography to process and verify
Immutable
Once a block is added it cannot be changed or deleted
Provenance
Each block contains a reference to the previous block to provide a trail (history)
Applications
Digital currency, record keeping, securities, smart contracts
Cryptocurrency
digital currency ; Operates independently of a central bank
Cryptography
converts data into a format that is unreadable for an unauthorized user
Genesis block
first block in the blockchain
Innovators
new users / techies
Early adopters
opinon leaders / visionaries
THE CHASM
after early adopters; many new products or technologies fail
Early majority
pragmitists
Late Majority
conservatories
Laggards
skeptics
Gartner Hype Cycle
separate hype from the real drivers of a technology’s commerical promise
Innovation Trigger
new tech emerges / R&D
Peak of inflated expectations
at the peak ; several success and failure stories
Trough of disillusionment
tech doesn't meet expectations ; failure/setbacks
Slope of enlightenment
second-generation products
Plateau of productivity
widely adopted and mature ; 20-30% target audience adoption
Magic Quadrant
used by companies to evaluate which vendors to work with
Leaders
companies are doing well strong execution and completeness
Challengers
executing well but not as innovative
Niche Players
specialized market and small segment
Visionaries
bold new ideas without execution ; start ups
