What is EasyC?
The EasyC robot programming language is an object oriented program that is
made mainly for the beginning programmer. It is used to create 2-D games
and educational programs like the FTC and VEX Robot systems.

EasyC lets you drag and drop blocks through a GUI. Each block represents 1 or
more lines of code in a real programming language, and is also usually
translated to normal English make it easier to understand.
What is ROBOTC?
ROBOTC is a C-based programming language with a Windows environment for
writing and debugging programs. This Program is mainly used to program
robots that participate in FTC competitions but also has many other
applications.

To use the RobotC programming language, you must actually type out
commands in lines of code. This gives you much more control over your
program then using little blocks.

Which Programming Language Would I
Prefer to Learn?
I would prefer to learn the EasyC programming language, because it is
for the beginning programmer like me. Also, it is easier to use due to its
graphical user interface. After using EasyC for a while, I would move
onto ROBOTC for more advanced programming.
Reflection
ONET Online would help me locate career opportunities in
programming, because it is a large database where you can find any
form of job. After searching for programming jobs, I came upon many
different programming jobs on this website. They included Java
programmer and computer programmer.
