title: MY WEEK ONE JOURNEY AT BLOCKFUSE LAPS

---

**FIRST CLASS**
On a beuatiful Monday morning, that on the 9th day of June 2025, i made my way to Blockfuse Labs, the day that each and every student were expected to resumed, thats for those who made it in. Thank God i got in.

It was indeed a great gathering of light minds, intellegent and smart guys, we were welcome by the CEO, Eng. Adaak and all other Eng. with him, I mean very sweet welcome. We also got to know each other as new Dare-Devil in the making while awaiting the arrival of the  Founder Himself.

Few Moment later, arrival of the Founder was announce, as conventional school, we all know that first day at  school are mostly catching up moments with persons you knew, with new guys and stuff, and the speech from the head, charging on how you will stay focus to you studies you get?

Welcoming in the Founder with applouse, guees what was in his hands, "white board marker". when he introduces himself as AM PEMUN LONGS, AM A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER. he zoom to teaching. in my head; i was are we really doing this?
BlockFuse Labs are ever ready break every ground for you that have everything you need as there studen.

walk with me as i show you what i've learned in this first week of my journey.

First, No room for excuses, BLockfuse Labs resumed all its activities that first, it priorities were set straigth, and a lot was cover that first day.
Programing is solving problem, that means a programer is seen as a problem solver by Dev longs

I also undertood the different between who are Software Developer and Software Engineer. software developer is one who can write code mostly while the software engineer is one who undertand the technicality, science behind code written by the software developer. The question is, what does Blockfuse labs wants to turn us into, is it only software Developement or Engineer that undertood both?

We were able to answer question, how programer solve problems and one of the thing that thrill me most is that the only language the compter undertand is 0's and 1's. That means if am typing a text of a hundred thousand word the computer see all those alphabet, numbers, icons, image, videos in 0's and 1's thats Binary numbers.

Moreso, we were thought about the programing language, from the low level language and hight level langauge.
Low Level langauge are those language that are closer to the computer, where there are execution and faster commpare to the hight level langauge. example: C, C++, Rust, Golang etc.
These langauge are achieved with the help of Compiler, which are serve as translators from this langauage to machine code(binary i.e 0's and 1's).

High Level Language are those langauge that are closer to human, in term of undertanding and readeability, commpared to the Low level language. Exmaple are JavaScript, Python, C# etc.These are these langauge are achieved with the help of interpreter which are serve as translators from this langauage to machine code(binary i.e 0's and 1's).

**SECOND CLASS**
**Computer Generation and Converting a Decimal to Binary (Base 2)**
**1st  Gen**
Vaccum tube,Very big,slow,expensive,used punch
cards
![1 gen computer](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1u6jS2Xlg.png)

**2nd Gen**
Smaller, faster, used, magnetic, tape for storage
**3rd  Gen**
More reliable, smaller, started using keyboards
**4th  Gen**
Micro-processor
Personal computers (PCs), faster, cheaper, GUI
**5th  Gen**
Artificial Intelligence
Smart systems, robotics, learning computers

**BINARY**
Binary Number System uses two digits, '0' and '1', and is the foundation for all modern computing. The word binary is derived from the word "bi," which means two
Example of coverting a decimal to Base 10 to base 2

2|79
2|39 R 1        |
2|19 R 1        |
2|9 R 1         |
2|4 R 1         |     79=01001111
2|2 R 0         |
2|1 R 0         |
2|0 R 1         |

other things we learned are converting from base 2 to hexidecimal which is base 16.
Hexidecimal count 123456789abcdef. therefore the hex example above is 4f. We further learned how to convert hexidecimal back to decimal digit.

**THIRD CLASS**
Lastly, we dive deep in learning the command line interface (CLI) where we learned how to use the terminal. we learn how to create a directory (mkdir directoryname), create a file (touch filename), navigate within directory and file, (cd directoryname or cd filename), (~ means Home) (/root) and lot more.

In conclusion Blockfuse really meant it when they say they are molding us to be Dare Devil. it was a beautiful journey this far.
