Computer Programming

In case you didn't know, my husband is going to school to be a computer scientist. He is SUPER good with computers. Bryce always has been such a natural. He is absolutely amazing. He spends hours of his day every day programming..... but honestly I never really understood what he was doing. Whenever I look at the screen and at what he is doing, it just looks like a mess of numbers and symbols. It looks like a completely different language (which it pretty much is).
Here is an example: (You will probably have to click on the picture and make it bigger to really see.)


Here is my cute husband working on his latest project. He is creating and programming a game boy, pretty much. One step of his project is to create an alphabet library.... meaning he has to create every letter using code so that it shows up on the little LCD screen near the bottom of the photo. 



I have always thought it was cool that he programs computers and stuff... but honestly, like I said, I had no idea what that even entails. So, Bryce decided to give me a mini lesson! I got to help create some of the letters in his program.... It was actually a lot of fun! I created the "K", "L", "M", and "N". After I created those letters, Bryce said, "Good Job, Honey! You are now a computer programmer!" Haha. Yah. Right. But it was still super fun!
And now I kind of understand what it means to write code! 
*****Kind Of*****

Bryce is almost finished creating all his letters (right now he working on "x"). But here is a sample of what shows up on his LCD screen when we write a message using the font he created.
 (Bryce says "the font WE created").
