#but i did learn object oriented programming in Java

[the-potato-beeper]

i'm poking around through RPG Maker MV's programming and... actually sort of understanding it? proud!!

[rainbow-nerd-13]

I applaud you for the math, it's my least favorite subject because it's so confusing to me!!! I agree with the books, I would protect mine with my life as well! What's been your favorite thing to learn? I'm teaching myself needle felting and embroidery right now as hobbies and it's been so much fun, but I'm also learning coding and IT stuff for a career!

Well, most of the time I'm confused with math as well but somehow I keep going. My favorites thing to learn is hard to pick again, but I love learning languages. I can speak four languages and I'm learning my fifth right now. I was raised bilingual, so I can speak German and Polish pretty much perfectly. Then I learned English in school and now I watch most shows in the original. But then again, English is hard not to pick up in a such a connected world. Later, I learned French in school and did the DELF B1 exam (an exam that gives me a diploma at the end, which shows I know all the basics and it can't be taken away from me even if I forget some things later on in life). Now I'm learning Spanish and it's a lot of fun. Since I can compare the words to other languages I can memorize them better and most of the time, I can guess the meaning of a new word before I look it up because of the similarities to French. I think I want to learn Russian next. Since everyone is scared of a possible extension of the war over Europe I thought it would be neat to know the language of the enemy (that's what my old neighbor who lived through world war two always says as well). I already looked up how to beg for your life for fun, lol. My Duolingo streak is over a thousand days now. Your hobbies sound so cool, I would love to learn embroidery one day, too. I also thought about glass blowing, but sadly there are no courses on that in my area (and I don't have the time, but sometimes I try to repress this though and daydream about all these cool hobbies I could pick up). Wood carving would be easier to learn, you don't need an oven for that. Coding and IT stuff are super interesting. What programming languages do you know? I started learning Java this semester and passed an exam on it. Next semester I want to continue learning programming, diving a little deeper into object-orientated programming. At least if I didn't fail the math exam. I'm kinda always scared not to pass too often and get kicked out. Sometimes it feels like I'm lying under the sharp blade of a guillotine that could kill me at any moment, but I can never know when or whether it will fall at all. I'm currently still waiting for results. If I failed, I have one last chance left. But I would have to retake the exam orally instead of the standard written form. And I'm afraid that's pretty embarrassing. Today I told someone that me choosing to go to uni despite it being so hard, brushing off concerned warnings of friends saying I like challenges is strangely similar to the dozens of stupidly brave folks who climbed the Mount Everest just to die on it. Sorry for the rambling, the question leaves room for a lot of random infos :)

Modular Oriented Programming and how its success depends on Communications

Modular Oriented Programming (MOP) is a natural progression upwards from Object Oriented Programming (OOP). I would describe MOP as writing code with the intent on having reusable and interchangeable compiled code. Note the emphasis on compiled code. A module is basically an object stored as a DLL (or dynamically linked library).

Its not a new thing. The earliest example I can think of is with Microsoft’s ActiveX components on the browser. ActiveX was introduced almost 30 years ago but it failed. I ask why? From what I recall its because it was difficult to use. I would say it was difficult to use because Microsoft did not understand or had a vague idea about communications.

What ended up happening was that at the time Sun Microsystems had JAVA. Netscape worked with them and brought in JavaScript to the browser. The combo where able to keep Microsoft off balance long enough. Microsoft did develop a technology called dot-net but by that time it was too late.

Anyways, this post is to promote MOP (Modular Oriented Programming). Because its a rather powerful concept. I am approaching it from a communications point of view because I believe in doing so we would understand how to make better use of it.

In a development environment, importing libraries is easy and straight forward. ActiveX was easy to use inside VisualBasic or Delphi. Inside a browser however, ActiveX was outside its element and did not inherit that ease of use. Hence it failed. This situation is about communications because its about presumptions. Inside a development environment, a developer is free to make certain presumptions. In VisualBasic all you had to do was drag and drop an ActiveX component and you where free to presume your code inherited new capabilities. This level of support was not available inside a browser. To make ActiveX work inside a browser you had to do a lot of things manually. Hence ActiveX was difficult.

It turns out the success of good communication has a lot to do with making valid presumptions. When we talk to someone we presume they understand. When the presumptions are valid, that's when the magic happens. When you learn JavaScript you are learning the rules of the trade. You are learning about valid presumptions you will be able to make with your code. Hence, when you use the import statement you are under the impression that your code will magically inherit new capabilities. These rules of the trade is language. JavaScript is a language. A language basically represents a set of rules and agreements. These rules and agreements allow for presumptions. These presumptions allow us to talk to someone without worrying about the details. ActiveX failed because a developer could not rely on a set of presumptions that would allow him to use it easily and quickly.

see also: (1) about the mind and presumptions

I say if Microsoft had a better understanding of communications, they could have had their way in the mid 90s. It is very much possible for compiled code to talk to other compiled code comfortably and safely if communications between the code entities is standardized. Some people would bring the term protocol. I don’t like that term because its gives off vibes of being rigid and limited. I would prefer to use the term language because of flexibility.

Some other date I will post about machine-to-machine communication for a better understanding on how modules would talk to each other with ease.

Computer Science - Dickinson College

Coming into Dickinson and not knowing which direction to take in terms of a major, I wanted to take classes in my first semester that served as potential routes I wanted to explore further. And so, I took a class in the Political Science department, a class in the Computer Science department and a class in the Philosophy department. Although each of these classes expanded my knowledge in different ways, the one class that I enjoyed the most was my Computer Science class, Introduction to Computing. This class environment was not only the most welcoming but the most rewarding too in terms of being able to write lines of code and see that it did computations, created graphics and had an immediate effect and product that came from it. Being an international student unfamiliar with the American culture and on top of that, college culture, being able to work on labs and projects with other people in the class helped me ease into this change comfortably, whereas the other classes primarily emphasized individual learning. Following that first Computer Science class, I was sure that I wanted to major in Computer Science. Hence, the following semester, I was able to take Calculus I, which I needed as a prerequisite to the math that I needed for the major. I was also able to take Principles of Object-Oriented Design. Calculus I was beneficial in laying down and reiterating the mathematical concepts that would be necessary for Single Variable Calculus. Principles of Object-Oriented Design was interesting because while Intro to Computing was primarily focused on Python, this class was focused on Java. It was interesting in this way to notice the similarities and differences between the two languages and how they serve different and similar purposes. It also delved into some more detailed projects and coding methods while still allowing collaboration with others in the major, which was a rewarding and beneficial aspect to the class to be able to build relationships that have lasted throughout my college career. In the subsequent semester, I was able to take up Single Variable Calculus, Foundations of Higher Mathematics and Computing Abstractions in the major. All three of these classes were vividly different from one another but have all connected in the classes in the major. Single Variable Calculus helped solidify some of the mathematical concepts and computations that come up in coding and the principles of coding. Foundations of Higher Mathematics helped detailed ways to write mathematical proofs to be able to prove and disprove elements within Computer Science, namely the computability and complexity of programs. Computing Abstractions laid down the foundation of coding and computing and the most basic elements of what make up a computer, which explained how programs are run and how their efficiencies can be maximized. 

For the following two semesters, I had the privilege to study abroad in Norwich, England at the University of East Anglia where I was able to continue to take classes in my major that translated to Dickinson’s requirements for courses. This transition was stimulating as well as constructive as it offered me an experience extremely diverse from Dickinson, with Dickinson having small class sizes and encouraging group learning, whereas UEA had much larger class sizes and had more of an emphasis on individual learning in ways that I had never experienced before. In England in the Fall, I took Systems Analysis class which stood for the special topics 200-level elective where we focused on the development of computer-based systems. In the Spring, I was able to take Software Engineering, which stood for the half credit courses taken at Dickinson, Comp 190 and Comp 290, which segue into Senior Seminar. In this class, we worked on creating a POS system for a grocery store, with first implementing a class model design and then transitioning that into a working software system, focusing on both, the frontend and backend aspects. I also took Networks, which counted for the Abstraction Implementation requirement for the major. In this class, we focused on encrypting and decrypting a Voice Over IP system as well as making sure the transmission of packets was seamless. We also focused on Network Monitoring, including tracking latency and other components and seeing what aspects affected these elements. Finally, I also took Data Structures which translated to the Data Structures class at Dickinson and helped to familiarize us with the different structures that exist to model computer programs as well as implement them, which was crucial to understand for other classes in the major, such as Complexity and Computability and Analysis of Algorithms. 

Coming back from being abroad, I was able to take Analysis of Algorithms and Senior Seminar, which takes course over a year. Analysis of Algorithms helped build our knowledge on how to analyze how efficient programs are in terms of time and memory and how to improve efficiency. In Senior Seminar, we delved into the principles of Software Engineering, including looking at some practical efficiency techniques used within companies such as Scrum and Kaizen. We also analyzed Open Source projects and software in order to gauge our interest in them as well as our ability to contribute to them and began to work on these in closing issues and adding to them in meaningful and useful ways. Finally, this semester, I am taking Complexity and Computability, which looks into how certain programs are uncomputable and proving this as well as the complexity of programs and modelling programs through Turing machines. I am also taking Senior Seminar, where we are continuing to work on and contribute to our open-source projects as well as looking into the ethics and morals of Computer Science related topics. Lastly, I am also taking Database Systems where we are working with databases and learning to how construct and retrieve information from databases using SQL. 

Reflecting back at all of the Computer Science classes now, it is evident how they all connect and build on each other and it is rewarding think about all the coding languages that we have covered, all the analysis skills we have acquired and can now think critically about matters related to Computer Science, such as computability and complexity but also ethics and morals related to the field. Looking beyond the major, it was also been rewarding to not only be able to gain knowledge related to my major but take classes in all the fields that interested me, including Psychology and Anthropology and understand these and be able to relate these back to Computer Science as well. The combination of the disciplines has helped me to think more critically about the world around me and approach it through different methodologies and as a consequence, act in ways that are influential and make a difference. The study abroad opportunity played an immense role in taking risks and seeing things from different perspectives and how they apply in different contexts and to be comfortable in unfamiliar settings and use this to enhance my skills and knowledge. Within Computer Science, I have learned to adapt and solve problems and transform them to be more efficient, with one specific example being to reduce problems to other uncomputable problems to show an initial problem is uncomputable or to try different approaches to solving one particular issue. The structure of Dickinson’s classrooms also helped me to become comfortable in working with different people and aligning our skillsets to solving issues and making progress. The contrast between Dickinson’s classroom environment and UEA’s classroom environment also gave me the flexibility to adapt in learning environments. I consider it an immense privilege to have had the ability to learn all that I have learned in a short four years, within the classroom as well as beyond it and with skills that can be applied to my major as well as beyond it. It is extremely rewarding to look back and reflect on my progress and how Dickinson has shaped me.

Step 1. Figure out why you want to code.

Step 2. Learn how to exercise that code.

Step 3. Practice, practice, practice.

That's the simple version, let's get complex.

For Step 1 you have some likely options.

I want to make games -> Godot or Unreal

I want to make websites -> JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS

I want to get paid -> Java & Groovy

Godot and Unreal are popular game engines with lots of community support and tutorials.

JavaScript, PHP, HTML, and CSS are the doujour of web programming. You can do a lot of different languages for the backend, but for the user facing stuff you're stuck to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

As for doing it as a job. In my experience, there is so much Java and Groovy work. A bunch of business backends are built in it, and it's pleasant enough to use for work. You could also look into COBOL, C++, JavaScript, and PHP depending on what appeals to you. Supposedly a lot of banks use COBOL. Embedded stuff cares about C because it's fast. Probably Rust in the near future.

Alright, step 2. You've picked your poison and now you're ready to learn how to do your daily exercises. Your katas. In my experience, a lot of the kata websites out there are oriented towards algorithms and aren't applicable to real programming. Do them if you like math.

What you're going to want to do is research what structures your goal expects you to use. API development expects you to use graph theory and know how to make a good usable data structure.

Game programming expects you to know how to think in the actor model with object orientation.

Web programming (frontend) expects you to know about components, and data structures.

There's a lot more to it than that but that's where my thinking starts. Now, practicing.

Step 3, practice. Multiple options

go to Rosetta Code and choose something relevant to your goal. Look at the description at the top. Get as far as you can implementing that description on your own, using popular libraries. When you feel like you can't go further, check how they implemented it and try to introduce their solution into yours. This is a synthesis, you're aiming to understand how to finish your implement, not how to copy their solution

Do this daily as much as you find interesting.

When that becomes boring start thinking of practical implementation. Websites you would find interesting. APIs you think might be useful to a community you like. Some kind of game you want (start simple, like Pong simple).

When I learned game programming they had us reimplement the entire Atari 2600 lineup with just a spec and gameplay videos. That did a lot about teaching me how to understand how something works and how to figure out how to do it myself without having the source in front of me. Invaluable for debugging.

This advice is probably sloppy, but it roughly reflects the way I was taught and how I continued learning on my own. If you can find a teacher you like, take their classes. I was never able to teach myself programming.

Is there anyone who can tell me how to get into coding? I don't mean vague instructions, can someone give me a step by step on how to choose a language and how to practice it regularly and how to make a routine for myself. I am just so lost on how to force myself to get to it, I just keep postponing.

How I Got Into Smith: Part II

In part I, I wrote about my high school extracurricular activities. In this post, I focus on the academic side of my application. I’ll be honest that these posts weren’t as well planned as I would have liked and that ideally, this part would have been first. It was initially going to be a single post, but I didn't have enough time to finalize this part before my unofficial deadline of Sunday at 11:59. It worked out in the end as splitting it into two parts created a new blog post out of thin air. Furthermore, it turns out I had a lot more to add to this part. 

My academics were definitely a strong aspect of my college applications. For some additional context, I applied to Smith regular decision and was admitted with a presidential scholarship. To learn more about merit aid at Smith, click here. Smith was my first choice throughout the application process and I actually submitted my application before the early decision deadline. To read more about why I chose Smith or more accurately why it became my first choice, click here. For additional context, I attended a public high school in Vermont with a graduating class size of 106 with 65% of the class attending two and four-year colleges. If this post is interesting to you, you may also enjoy reading about my academic journey to engineering and computer science. 

I’ve always loved school and education has been a top priority. Between middle and high school, I took six and a half years worth of high school science classes. In addition to the advanced track of our regular curriculum, I took a marine biology class that included a research trip to Bermuda and three APs (chemistry, biology, and physics C mechanics). You can read more about my AP experience here. Of the three main sciences, physics is my favorite. As a class though, I think AP biology was the best. I won departmental awards my first and last years. I was really proud of the first science award as it was a special award created just for me (as opposed to for a specific class year). The crazy thing about taking all these science classes is that I have taken very few science classes here at Smith. Thinking about this irony is part of why I thought to write this post in the first place. Technically I have only taken two science classes (PHY 118 and PHY 210) during my time at Smith. (And to be honest, PHY 210 hardly counts as it's really just an applied math class that’s offered by the physics department). You can check out all of my Smith courses here. The reality is that I fulfilled the introductory chemistry and physics requirements of my engineering major with AP credits.

In addition to lots of science classes, I doubled up on math classes in ninth and eleventh grades. Granted I didn’t take math my senior year and retook calculus at Smith. I think there were some clear flaws in my math education as many of the courses were too easy and had too much overlap year to year. At the same time, we didn’t cover enough trigonometry and had other gaps in our precalculus course. I did learn a lot in my AP statistics class and was surprised by how much I enjoyed the content. It makes total sense in retrospect as I now see math as an interesting and useful tool. Back in elementary and middle school, math was my favorite subject and I loved it in isolation of other subjects and real-life applications. In ninth grade, I got a math award, but unlike the other departmental awards, a lot of people got them. 

My favorite class of high school was AP computer science A. In that course, I learned Java and the basics of object-oriented programing. In ninth grade, I’d been introduced to computer science through a semester-long Python course. In my senior year, I took an online website development course from my state university. I learned HTML, CSS, and some PHP. I also took a semester-long engineering course. It didn’t have math or science prerequisites, lectures, or structured assignments. What it did provide was a fun self-directed opportunity to learn how to use our new CNC machine and work with (mostly fix) the 3D printers.  

Four years of English were required to graduate, so I took our required ninth and tenth-grade courses followed by an advanced expository writing course and an advanced literature course called world authors. I’ve always loved reading, but English classes and literary analysis aren’t really my thing. To read some of my reflections on writing, click here. I managed to win an English award my sophomore year which was cool as I’d never really seen English as a strong subject of mine. Granted, I didn’t like my sophomore English class as it only had seven other students who clearly didn’t want to be there and didn’t do assignments well or on time. I also took French all through high school and won awards my first and last years. I was generally more engaged with school than my peers, but French is where my peers’ lack of engagement had the most negative effect on my learning. I’m not trying to brag about any of my academic awards, but I do genuinely believe I did stand out on my own merit. When it came to French, it was more just that there wasn’t much competition. 

Social science classes were the ones I generally avoided. Knowing that I only needed three years of social science to graduate and having already doubled up on math and science, I skipped the ninth-grade social science class. As a sophomore, I took the advanced version of our sophomore social science class called democratic roots. As a junior, I took AP U.S. history as U.S. history was required to graduate. The other AP courses were of actual interest to me and this was the only one I took for the AP designation. It was one of my least favorite courses, but I defend my decision to take it as the regular version was sort of a joke at my school. Furthermore, the APUSH teacher was also the advisor for the school publication and was able to write what I presume to be a strong letter of recommendation. As a senior, I took a semester of AP art history and another semester of art history through my local community college. The AP course was entirely online through UC Scout. I didn’t finish the AP course as the community college version was free due to my state’s dual enrollment program. The community college course was also fully online and was much more limited in scope.  

I was in the jazz band from eighth through tenth grade. I played the electric bass, an instrument I picked up because they needed a bass player. Jazz isn’t my kind of music, so I never really got into it. To check out some of my favorite songs and musical history, click the respective links. I “quit” the jazz band as it conflicted with AP chemistry. The bass is an integral part of the rhythm section, but rhythm doesn’t come naturally to me and is challenging even with deliberate practice. I was used to being in all of the advanced courses but was in the intermediate jazz band with eighth and ninth graders. Additional required electives included health, financial literacy, and three semesters of physical education. The only class I did over the summer was an independent study for physical education credit. The running I did for the self-directed course probably helped earn me a spot on the varsity field hockey team. I also took a weight lifting class which I absolutely hated. 

I wasn’t planning on sharing my actual stats, as there is so much more to college admissions than raw scores or even academics. What really matters is (in terms of academics) is the rigor of your courses in the context of the high school you attend. However, if you’ve read this far, I don’t really mind sharing my actual grades and scores. I earned straight As throughout high school and had a GPA of 4.26 (unweighted on a 4.33 scale). My school didn’t officially do class rank, but I am almost positive I had the highest grade point average. I do know that at the end of my junior year I had attained the “highest level of academic achievement” which I presume takes into account courses and grades. A lot of schools have gone test-optional due to the pandemic, but it’s worth noting that Smith was already test-optional. I don’t know exactly how merit scholarships work, but I am guessing that a strong SAT/ACT score would be necessary to earn one. My SAT score was 1500 (780 math and 720 verbal). I did study a lot over the summer before senior year and improved by almost 150 points from my PSAT. I also submitted SAT subject test scores of 790 for chemistry and 770 for math level II.

I remember when I took my first programming class in college. I had some basic programming experience before this point, but this was my first time working with Java and Object Oriented programming. Unfortunately, it was taught by the dreaded Dr. Z. For almost the entire class, I could not for the fucking life of me figure out how functions worked. I can't even remember why, but somehow he just did not teach them in a way that was easy to understand. I thought that I was just stupid and that I shouldn't be in this major. The next semester, I decided to work with a different professor on a research project for the Honors Program. I was super nervous, but before we started he asked, "wait, did Dr. Z teach your Intro to Programming class? *sigh* OK, I'm going to have to re-teach you some things." That was what kept me from dropping out, because it turns out that I'm not too stupid for this major, I just had a really shitty professor.

I slogged through college with my mental health hanging on by a thread, but some internships with the promise of a job after graduation kept me going. That showed me that working in the field is not nearly as miserable as being in college for it. It's been more than 5 years since I graduated college and started working full time. Now I'm notoriously good at learning new skills really quickly. I went from "how the fuck do functions work? Why do we use them? How?" To "my team leader chose me to learn and eventually be in charge of this completely new framework because of my 5 year record of absorbing new skills like a sponge." And there's nothing that Dr. Z can do to take that away from me.

[cel-studies-stuff]

hi there! i’m a high schooler and i’m seriously considering majoring in computer science when the time comes. do you think you could maybe talk a little bit about what it’s like studying comp sci? if you can. i hope you’re having a great day

hope you’re having a great day too!

What my first year of studying computer science was like

obligatory preface that courses differ between universities and colleges. i study in australia.

The biggest challenge I faced per se going into comp sci was how nothing I did at school prepared me for it. The kind of content I’ve learnt wasn’t similiar to school and the assignments have been very different. No analytical essays and scientific reports for me (there has been essays and reports tho). In my school IT class I learnt basic HTML and CSS which was the only programming knowledge I went into comp sci with. (Id also gotten pretty far on khan academy’s JavaScript course in like year ten but I’ve forgotten all of that now lol).

I have four units a semester and have completed my first year (of 3, although I’m taking less units this year so I’ll finish in 3.5 years).

What I actually did in my first year:

Semester 1 (pre-major picking, two of these were for the other major option)

Learnt general computer hardware and how it functions. The assignment was using a raspberry pi to do something that used hardware (the pi), software (basic code) and the internet (I used twitter). My project is on Twitter at SunsetIFB102

Group project app design stages. Like drawing the layouts, getting feedback, then digital sketches then semi fancy looking sketches (not comp sci major)

Python! I really liked this. Taught the basics of python and in general programming. It was kind of intimidating how many people had coded before so I had to focus on ignoring them and learning for myself. Also really salty I was 1% off a high distinction for the whole unit AGH

Databases and SQL. This would’ve been a useful unit if the lecturer was, how do I put this kindly, good at his job. (Not comp sci major, although definitely use databases later on)

Semester two (all comp sci major)

C# , basics of object oriented programming principles. Which is a fancy way of saying it taught how you should write your code so it’s laid out effectively.

C, how to program microprocessors. Basically how to program hardware machines. C is mostly used for machines like ATMs, a fridge perhaps, probably a roomba and other single purpose kind of things. Also from this I can program arduinos and read arduino code easier since arduino code is a C/C++ hybrid. (This and the previous unit had high fail rates and were honestly Tough)

Information security (apart of network security minor) This unit talked about processes of protecting information in organisations and on a single person level. Basics of cryptography was discussed and hashes and how ways information is kept secure when transferring between objects (like over the internet)

Computation mathematics (apart of intelligent systems minor). This was a weird unit to me and was mostly math majors. It taught all these different equations which allow you to make approximations. Honestly confused how it’s used for computers but we learnt MATLAB and it’s a pre requisite for an intro to robotics unit I’m taking this year :)

So yeah, that’s an account of what I actually studied. Reading over it it seems way more impressive than it probably was. Computer science isn’t easy (well, unless you want to scrape a pass each time) but it isn’t horribly difficult. It’s how different it is to high school work that can trip you up. I can’t make aesthetic studyblr notes on paper because its all on my computer and can’t turn it off when studying because I need it.

My assignments are typically big coding projects, exams (multiple choice if a coding unit) and essays if it deals with theory (like info sec did).

This coming semester I’m learning Java and GUI’s (graphical user interfaces), JavaScript and HTML and whatever else for web applications, and discrete maths which seems to be for notation used later on... it looks very strange.

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions feel free to DM me!

Also if anyone else wants to add their experiences, feel free to reblog with your tips.

OK, I'LL TELL YOU YOU ABOUT IDEAS

Object-oriented programming in the 1980s. If it can work to start a startup. Instead of building stuff to throw away, you tend to want every line of code to go toward that final goal of showing you did a lot of startups grow out of them. Already spreading to pros I know you're skeptical they'll ever get hotels, but there's no way anything so short and written in such an informal style could have anything useful to say about such and such topic, when people with degrees in the subject have already written many thick books about it. Those are both good things to be. I don't mean that as some kind of answer for, but not random: I found my doodles changed after I started studying painting. When someone's working on a problem that seems too big, I always ask: is there some way to give the startups the money, though. What would it even mean to make theorems a commodity? There seem to be an artist, which is even shorter than the Perl form.1 However, a city could select good startups.2

Tcl, and supply the Lisp together with a complete system for supporting server-based applications, where you can throw together an unbelievably inefficient version 1 of a program very quickly. Or at least discard any code you wrote while still employed and start over. But a hacker can learn quickly enough that car means the first element of a list and cdr means the rest. If an increasing number of startups founded by people who know the subject from experience, but for doing things other people want. It could be the reason they don't have any.3 An interactive language, with a small core of well understood and highly orthogonal operators, just like the core language, that would be better for programming. The more of a language as a set of axioms, surely it's gross to have additional axioms that add no expressive power, simply for the sake of efficiency.

One of the MROSD trails runs right along the fault. When you're young you're more mobile—not just because you don't have to be downloaded. The fact is, most startups end up doing something different than they planned. The three old guys didn't get it. PL/1: Fortran doesn't have enough data types. What programmers in a hundred years? Just wait till all the 10-room pensiones in Rome discover this site.4 Common Lisp I have often wanted to iterate through the fields of a struct—to push performance data to the programmer instead of waiting for him to come asking for it. It would be too much of a political liability just to give the startups the money, though. And they are a classic example of this approach. For one thing, real problems are rare and valuable skill, and the de facto censorship imposed by publishers is a useful if imperfect filter.

I'm just not sure how big it's going to seem hard. Often, indeed, it is not dense enough. If the hundred year language were available today, would we want to program in today. Of course, the most recent true counterexample is probably 1960. A friend of mine rarely does anything the first time someone asks him. As a young founder by present standards, so you have to spend years working to learn this stuff. The market doesn't give a shit how hard you worked.

You can write programs to solve, but I never have. One advantage of this approach is that it gives you fewer options for the future. Otherwise Robert would have been too late. Look at how much any popular language has changed during its life.5 Java also play a role—but I think it is the most powerful motivator of all—more powerful even than the nominal goal of most startup founders, and I felt it had to be prepared to explain how it's recession-proof is to do what hackers enjoy doing anyway. The real question is, how far up the ladder of abstraction will parallelism go? Anything that can be implicit, should be. New York Times, which I still occasionally buy on weekends. So I think it might be better to follow the model of Tcl, and supply the Lisp together with a lot of them weren't initially supposed to be startups. It's because staying close to the main branches of the evolutionary tree pass through the languages that have the smallest, cleanest cores. The way to learn about startups is by watching them in action, preferably by working at one. At the very least it will teach you how to write software with users.

Few if any colleges have classes about startups. All they saw were carefully scripted campaign spots. It might help if they were expressed that way. It's enormously spread out, and feels surprisingly empty much of the reason is that faster hardware has allowed programmers to make different tradeoffs between speed and convenience, depending on the application.6 At the top schools, I'd guess as many as a quarter of the CS majors could make it as startup founders if they wanted is an important qualification—so important that it's almost cheating to append it like that—because once you get over a certain threshold of intelligence, which most CS majors at top schools are past, the deciding factor in whether you succeed as a founder is how much you want to say and ad lib the individual sentences. This essay is derived from a talk at the 2005 Startup School. Preposterous as this plan sounds, it's probably the most efficient way a city could select good startups. Most will say that any ideas you think of new ideas is practically virgin territory. Exactly the opposite, in fact. Whatever computers are made of, and conversations with friends are the kitchen they're cooked in.7 That was exactly what the world needed in 1975, but if there was any VC who'd get you guys, it would at least make a great pseudocode.

If this is a special case of my more general prediction that most of them grew organically. Writing software as multiple layers is a powerful technique even within applications. The more of your software will be reusable. Using first and rest instead of car and cdr often are, in successive lines. Of course, I'm making a big assumption in even asking what programming languages will be like in a hundred years? It must be terse, simple, and hackable. It becomes: let's try making a web-based app they'd seen, it seemed like there was nothing to it. Both customers and investors will be feeling pinched.8

The main complaint of the more articulate critics was that Arc seemed so flimsy. That's how programmers read code anyway: when indentation says one thing and delimiters say another, we go by the indentation. You need that resistance, just as low notes travel through walls better than high ones. Maybe this would have been a junior professor at that age, and he wouldn't have had time to work on things that maximize your future options. How much would that take? It's important to realize that there's no market for startup ideas suggests there's no demand.9 You'll certainly like meeting them. It's not the sort of town you have before you try this. This essay is derived from a talk at the 2005 Startup School. I'm not a very good sign to me that ideas just pop into my head.

Notes

Dan wrote a prototype in Basic in a series A rounds from top VC funds whether it was 10.

With the good groups, just harder. Which in turn the most successful founders still get rich from a startup could grow big by transforming consulting into a great one.

There are two simplifying assumptions: that the only way to create events and institutions that bring ambitious people together. A has an operator for removing spaces from strings and language B doesn't, that's not as facile a trick as it was putting local grocery stores out of their portfolio companies. If the next one will be familiar to anyone who had worked for a really long time? One new thing the company they're buying.

If I paint someone's house, the growth in wealth in a bar. I didn't need to warn readers about, just as much the better, but they start to be about 50%. Together these were the impressive ones. Other investors might assume that P spam and P nonspam are both.

All he's committed to is following the evidence wherever it leads. The point where things start with consumer electronics.

If they're on boards of directors they're probably a cause them to keep them from the VCs' point of a press hit, but that we wouldn't have understood why: If you have two choices and one or two, and so on. But if so, or in one where life was tougher, the same reason parents don't tell the whole story. Incidentally, the switch in mid-twenties the people they want.

Trevor Blackwell points out, First Round Capital is closer to a clueless audience like that, except in the median VC loses money. Unless of course reflects a willful misunderstanding of what you care about, just those you should seek outside advice, and this trick, and so don't deserve to keep them from leaving to start or join startups. There is not much to seem big that they only even consider great people.

You also have to do it right. In every other respect they're constantly being told that they are bleeding cash really fast. Probably more dangerous to Microsoft than Netscape was.

In theory you could probably improve filter performance by incorporating prior probabilities. If you have the concept of the reason for the coincidence that Greg Mcadoo, our contact at Sequoia, was no great risk in doing a small proportion of the subject of language power in Succinctness is Power. As I was there was near zero crossover. Some urban renewal experts took a shot at destroying Boston's in the evolution of the next year they worked.

There's no far better method to find out than by doing, so you'll exist with a range of hands-on exercises throughout this training course. what circumstances are suitable for applying which techniques and tools. We might be looking for you if you like publications as well as enjoy to develop awesome items. To ask various other readers inquiries aboutJava For Testers, please register.

To see what your close friends thought about this book, please join. Software Tester, audio speaker as well as trainer at Friendly Testing. I hope you taken pleasure in reading this sample of "Java For Testers" by Alan Richardson.

Do you need math for Java?

There are several ways by which you can learn JAVA within a week. I feel that since JAVA is an Object oriented programming language just like C++. If you are fully thorough with all the OOPS concepts that you have learned in C++,then I am 100% sure that you can learn JAVA within 2 to 3 days itself.

Qualified Software Program Examination Automation Designer.

However this one got me started, and I still find it clear as well as simple. But occasionally as a tester we have to work with pre-compiled libraries, without source code, as well as usage parts of the code base out of context. This publication assisted change my coding design, as well as just how I come close to the building of abstraction layers. Other publications that cover comparable topics consist of "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin, and "The Pragmatic Developer" by Andrew Search and David Thomas.

Things are various, we instantiate them, so the two Integer variables both describe various things. Despite the fact that they have the same 'value', they are different things. Well, primitives are simple and also there is no distinction between value and also identity for primitives. I'll illustrate with a code instance, why the experienced designers are worried. You might not recognize the next few paragraphs yet, yet I just want to give you a little detail regarding why one Integer, or one Object, does not always equivalent one more Things.

Gradually I will certainly include videos and also details to JavaForTesters.com to show more performance with IntelliJ that I do not have area to include in this publication. er zijn anderen can assist you learn the fundamentals of IntelliJ very swiftly. This is very valuable for rapidly providing mvn commands or any one of the various other terminal commands pointed out in this publication. This can do partial matching, so you don't need to type in the full name of the class. I look at every one of those in this appendix for simple referral, and include some added details on using IntelliJ with this publication.

Yet I discovered "Execution Patterns" even more suitable as well as helpful to my job. " Implementation Patterns" by Kent Beck clarifies some of the mind involved in composing specialist code. When I first reviewed it, I located it hefty going, because I really did not have adequate experience or knowledge to comprehend it all. Yet I re-read it, as well as have actually continued to re-read it over the time I have actually created my Java experience.

" Effective Java" by Joshua Bloch, at the time of composing in its second Version. This publication helps novices and also progressed programmers. Due to the fact that they are a very individual thing, I do not advise a great deal of Java books. There are publications that people rave about that I could not get my head around. And also there are those that I like that individuals despise.

A connected listing is a straight collection of information components where each aspect indicate the following.

It is utilized when we require to accessibility items by their secrets.

It is usually utilized for innovative situations where we need fast access to the next component, or when we need to eliminate a component from anywhere in the collection.

Many modern-day programs languages automate this process; nonetheless, it must still be a vital consideration when applying an application.

It is an information framework consisting of a collection of nodes which together represent a sequence.

And each time I review it, I find a new subtlety, or a deeper understanding of the principles. Each, rather brief, but dense in their coverage and also discussion. Java developers develop a great deal of knowledge concerning their language from other designers.

I hope you'll continue to find out more as well as put it to utilize on your projects. You will certainly be servicing projects, and also the kind of collections you are using, as well as the technological domain that you are servicing, may require various strategies than those pointed out in this publication. I suggest you start with the videos and books recommended here, yet also ask your team friends. John's approach is geared around writing programs, as well as I assume that if you have actually currently completed this book, you will certainly benefit from the conventional programmer based protection that John provides.

The two day training stresses hands on exercises and also task. It is possible to run this as an eventually Summary Of Java version yet this significantly reduces the moment spent on study code and also time for exercises.

In the previous phase we said that an int ranged from, to.Integer has static constants MIN_VALUE as well as MAX_VALUE. To access a continuous, you don't need to include parenthesis since you are accessing a variable, and not calling a method. Along with being static areas, these are likewise constants, in that you can not transform them. The naming convention for constants is to make use of only uppercase, with _ as the word delimiter.

Is Java a good career choice?

Similar to COBOL, thousands of critical enterprise systems have been written in Java and will need to be maintained and enhanced for decades to come. I'd be surprised if it's not around for at least another 15 years. But it will change, and is changing.

Integer has a static technique called toHexString which takes an int as criterion, this returns the int as a String formatted in hex. We can benefit from a Java attribute called 'autoboxing' which was introduced in Java variation 1.5. Autoboxing will instantly transform from a primitive kind to the connected class instantly. In the variations of Java that we will certainly be using, we do not in fact need to instantiate the Integer course with the new key phrase.

What is Java used for?

The simple answer is: no, coding is not hard to learn. If you take the time and have a little patience, you can really learn just about anything–coding is no exception. Learning to code takes time and persistence, but if you have that, then coding is not hard to learn.

Can I learn Java after Python?

There are numerous reasons why Java continues to be a leader in the world of development and why it is still a language worth learning in 2020. Although Java's many benefits and capabilities make it a very diverse language, it is actually fairly easy to learn and master for developers of all skill levels.

I have actually checked out a few of them, and John supplies example coding for a number of the products covered in this book, as well as in the "Advancing Ideas" section. We didn't cover the full power of Normal Expressions in this publication. You can normally select this up fairly inexpensively used. There are various other publications that cover decompiling, reverse engineering and also reflection.

[unsuitable-for-engineer]

Hi! I'm planning on starting a computer systems engineering undergrad with a foundarion year, the uni follows a British curriculum pattern if that matters. I did ICT in IGCSE till Year 10 but I couldnt actually finish it, and then I never got to do A levels in it. Anyway, please give me some advice about what to study before joining the uni so that I stay on top of my course and maintain the scholarship that I absolutely NEED, to do this degree! (1/2)

(2/2) - Maybe if you can, please make like a TL;DR version of a usual Computer Engineering degree. In IGCSE and in A levels, Cambridge has excellent syllabus guides to tell you what your exam will have, so you know what you should learn from your course. Maybe if you could suggest a general 'syllabus' of sorts, for Computer Science undergrad degrees in general?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, I'm soooo excited you asked me that! Anyway, I study Computer Science for not even a year and my basic field is Mechatronics, plus I'm not from UK and have bare idea what ‘ICT in IGCSE’ is like...😅 But here comes my quick guide:

HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR FRESHERS YEAR -> COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENT

1. Before you start the degree

Maths - that’s obvious, you need to excel in Maths. There’s a lot of Maths on your first year and studying it shouldn’t really bother you - you want to study Computer Science not some boring calculus, right? So make sure you don’t fall behind in Maths on secondary school level!

C - remember, coding is so much more than writing commands and see computer doing things somehow (Python you bastard). It’s more like talking to machine in its own language which was later upgraded to be more convenient for human. And imo you can’t understand coding unless you understand C basis. Here you can find some basic code examples in C. But if you understand how pointers, memory location, stack and queue work, you can easily go to...:

Java - object-oriented programming is all that studies are about. And it’s likely that you’ll be taught it in Java at the beginning. So, there’s nice resource for Java: Head First Java (you can find pdf somewhere online, or don’t care and search for yt tutorials).

GIT - you’ve already written some piece of code? Don’t just keep it on your computer, but upload it of GitHub! Learn how to use GIT - version control and sign up on GitHub, believe me, you’re gonna need it later to when working on group projects. It’s really fun to push your codes somewhere online, work with friends on your code and also search for help and inspiration in GitHub community. Plus, you may show link to your GitHub account when applying for a job and present your projects.

2. First months at university(I skip stuff you may already know, like ‘work regulary’ etc.)

Make friends - why did you create GitHub? For teamwork! You’ll need people with similar interests to do projects together. They say programmers are antisocial, but when they speak coding - you can’t tell. Plus there’s nothing worse than looking for a bug in your code for hours, but when you ask a friend they just say: “Dude, you forgot a semicolon here“. Make friends to work and learn more effectively

Be passionate - fellow students struggle with Maths and some Java ‘hello worlds’? You’ve already done it, so find something that’s coding and is really fun. I suggest game-making in Unity or web design. That gives you fun projects to work in your free-productive time and expands your skills widely.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope I answered your questions, it’s only based on my own limited experience 😊 If you’d like to talk about studying Computer Science, don’t hesitate to message me! Also, if anybody here has remarks on what I said or a better answer to this Anon, please reblog or comment 😄

The Death of Programming

OOP is un-necessary complexity. A (very) long time ago, I had posted some questions in a group somewhere about why BASIC isn't as popular as it once was and why people aren't more willing to write their own games and applications. At this point I did not keep accurate notes. If I did, they were lost to time. As part of my protoBASIC project I went back through my notes and pieced together what I thought were some of the best reasons put forward about why we need protoBASIC.

There is a concerning trend in the world of software development - a decline in personal software creation. This shift can be attributed to various factors. While pre-packaged software has undoubtedly made life easier, it often fails to meet specific requirements, leaving numerous untapped possibilities. Relying solely on existing software limits innovation and customization. Unfortunately, many individuals are unaware of the power and potential of creating their own software. Engaging in programming activities offers intellectual stimulation and fulfillment, contrasting with passive consumption of media. Popular programming languages like Java, Perl, and C++ pose challenges with their complexity and steep learning curves, deterring aspiring programmers. These languages are not designed for the average person, resembling specialized tools for specific groups. Modern computers no longer come equipped with user-friendly programming languages, unlike the past when BASIC made coding accessible to anyone. Understanding programming is essential for computer literacy, allowing individuals to actively engage and unleash the full potential of computers. Off-the-shelf software often falls short of meeting specific requirements, and there are countless undiscovered practical software applications. Unfortunately, many individuals are unaware of their ability to create their own software, missing out on the untapped potential and intellectual stimulation offered by programming when compared to passive activities.

BASIC was and still is a language for empowering users.

BASIC comprises a compact set of essential commands. Mastering these commands should enable anyone to be productive in any version of BASIC within minutes or otherwise it deviates from its essence.

The addition of new commands should be approached with caution.

BASIC programmers should not be compelled to incorporate GUI elements into their programs.

Understanding complex data types should not be a prerequisite for writing BASIC programs.

Interactivity, whether through a command line or innovative features, should be inherent in BASIC.

Extensions to any BASIC dialect should not feel like an entirely different language, causing confusion for those familiar with BASIC.

Understanding the principles of safe driving and self-sufficiency applies not only to cars but also to computers. Learning programming enables individuals to harness the full potential of computers, shifting them from passive consumers to active users. To tackle the widespread problem of unnecessary complexity, especially in object-oriented programming (OOP), I am developing a language that prioritizes user experience from beginning to end. It aims to assist users by offering a straightforward operating system or programming language that facilitates the execution of basic tasks without unnecessary complexity or distracting visual elements.

When we reflect on the history of BASIC, various influential flavors come to mind, including Benton Harbor BASIC, TRS-80 BASIC, Applesoft BASIC, Commodore BASIC, MBASIC, and GW-BASIC. These early Microsoft variations shared core commands such as LET, PRINT, INPUT, GOTO, GOSUB, RETURN, READ, DATA, IF/THEN, FOR/NEXT, DIM, OPEN, CLOSE, as well as essential functions like VAL, SIN, LOG, LEN, MID$, LEFT$, RIGHT$, STR$, and more. It is worth noting that all of these versions were command line interpreters, an interactive feature that is often overlooked in modern iterations of BASIC. The interactivity aspect played a vital role in making BASIC approachable and easy to learn. Unfortunately, newer implementations of BASIC lack this crucial feature. In my current project, I am developing a new version of BASIC that reintroduces interactive capabilities. Despite the existence of an ANSI standard for BASIC, it has largely been disregarded by the BASIC community. Microsoft's QBASIC emerged as the de facto standard due to its widespread popularity, overshadowing newer versions like Visual BASIC, especially among casual users and hobbyists. One possible reason for QBASIC's enduring success among hobbyists is the inclusion of an immediate mode, which resembles the interactivity of a command line interpreter.

The abundance of complex programming languages is a genuine concern, as many of them lack a compelling justification for their existence and most of which fall into unnecessary categories. This raises questions about the necessity of having multiple languages to achieve common goals. Do these languages genuinely offer unique features that existing alternatives cannot fulfill? Or do they primarily serve as a means for creators to advance their careers, a topic that remains subject to debate? Instead, it would be beneficial to embrace a single, enhanced programming language that can cater to the diverse needs of developers including systems programming, database manipulation, game development, and others. Simply labeling a language as object-oriented does not guarantee its cohesiveness as a language. Furthermore, the prevalent unnecessary complexity in most modern languages is a significant drawback. It is imperative to address this complexity and the lack of user-friendly alternatives. While these intricate languages have their applications, they are not well-suited for the average person and often seem tailored to the legal profession rather than the general population.

Self-Directed Professional Development Post #6

For this week’s blog post, I’ve decided to continue watching the video I started in my professional development post #4, “Object Oriented Design Tutorial: Creating a UML Design from Scratch” and start the next video in this series titled, “Object Oriented Design Tutorial 2: How to Turn a UML Design into Code” by Derek Banas. The reason I picked this video is because 1. it directly relates to one of our course topics, “Modeling: Unified Modeling Language (UML)” and 2. because it teaches a methodical process to creating UML diagrams and the code that goes with it. Since I will likely be making more UML diagrams in my educational/professional life, I want to further develop these skills. In my last post, I learned how to use a Use Case Description to create an Object Model and a Sequence Diagram. In this post, I will start by discussing how an Object Model and the Sequence Diagram is used to create a Class Diagram. I will then move on to discussing how these models and diagrams can be used to create Java code.

When Derek is creating his Class Diagram, he uses his Object Model to create the class name and the data fields of his classes. Derek then uses his sequence diagram to bring in the methods for each of the classes he creates. One thing that I thought was interesting as he brought in the methods for his Class Diagram was that he added an additional method that he did not include in his logic when creating his sequence diagram. He added a getCoinOption method and stated that he may not end up needing this method but will include it just in case he missed something with his logic. It is nice to know that using his approach allows me to make these kinds of edits on the fly.

In Derek’s next video, he uses his class diagram to lay out the data fields and methods in his IDE. Once he has outlined his program, he uses the sequence diagram to write his code. Derek starts with the coin class. In this class he mentions how he starts with what makes the most sense to him to get his code to work. He mentions once his code works, he can come back and worry about optimization. He uses an array that contains heads or tails for the coin value and Math.random to return the value of the coin flip. Observing this process was beneficial because it showed me how important it is to think of the data structures I will be working with and the operations that I want to perform.

Overall, I’m very happy with this series. One of the things I enjoy the most is that Derek is doing all this from scratch so we get to see any obstacles that come up along the way. I’m looking forward to seeing his working program at the end.

Program Committee: Bill Venners.

Bill Venners is president of Artima, Inc., provider of Scala consulting, training, books, and tools. He leads the open-source projects for the ScalaTest testing library and the Scalactic library for functional, object-oriented programming. He is coauthor with Martin Odersky and Lex Spoon of the book, Programming in Scala. And he is a community representative on the Scala Center's Advisory Board.

How did you get into the software and what was your career arc like since then?

I was attracted to software because I felt it was a way to be creative that was also a realistic way to make a living. I started out as a programmer working in various cubicles, took a sabbatical to write a book about Java, and ended up doing software consulting, training, and book publishing.

What changed during the last year for you? How do you keep your enthusiasm for tech going?

I got a glimpse of a quieter life promised by retirement, and liked it. But I'm still quite enthusiastic about programming, so I want to keep working. I don't need to do anything to keep my enthusiasm alive. I find programming very interesting and want to keep doing more of it.

What tech is the most exciting for you? What projects have you found and liked so much that you shared them with friends?

Roller coasters are probably the most exciting tech for me. I recommend github to friends. I quite like using it and feel it does a great job at facilitating teams working on software.

Which people in tech are the most interesting to you? Who are some people you regularly keep in touch about tech?

I've spent a lot of time learning about type theory the past several years, so lately I've been reading a lot of papers and watching videos from people in that field. The tech people I keep in touch with are primarily people I've met through programming communities, mainly C++, Java, Python, and Scala.

How do you see conferences and meetups evolving after pandemic? Do you want to meet by the bay in person or stay online?

I want to meet in person again. Historically I often watched talks as videos later, spending most of my time at conferences talking to people in hallways. So I actually attended conferences both in person and online before the pandemic. I miss the in-person part.
