15 Question Tag Game | OC Edition

Cheers for tagging me @queer-cosette - I don't have many OC's tbh (Shea is the only one I can think of that's named, and he's a Sidhe so some of these qestions wouldn't apply), so you'll have to do with one from my oft-mentioned but never shared NaNoWriMo from last year.

Said OC is named Simon Trevethick, a "Weaver" who has had a rather unfortunate past (which both is and isn't his fault - at the same time, for the same reason) and he is the deuteragonist of the story and the mentor of the protagonist.

Rules: answer the questions below as yourself and/or your OC. (I'd also add that you make your own post).

Are they named after anyone? Not really. The surname is mutated a bit from someone I knew at school, but is otherwise just plucked from the ether.

When was the last time they cried? That depends on whether you're asking him or not. According to him, it would be the day that he and his husband separated, about seven years prior to the start of the story; in actuality, it was much more recent, only a couple of days before he's introduced.

Do they have kids? Simon and his partner had adopted two kids, a girl and a boy named Olivia and Jack. It's a fairly major plot point as to why he no longer has them, and should I ever be able to pluck up enough courage to edit it and post it I don't want to spoil it by explaining why now; suffice to say I fridged them as part of a time paradox.

Do they use sarcasm? Sparingly, but he's rather biting with it when he does use it. He's a rather depressed man, for reasons, and tends to shun most social interactions anyway.

What’s the first thing they notice about people It's really how curious people are. In his line of work, you wouldn't even get to meet him unless you had the setting's gift, and he's a researcher of sorts into it. He likes to see if people take notice about the weirdness around them, and what exactly they focus on.

What’s their eye colour? Very dark brown. Simon's eyes are rather thin and hooded as well, so the pupil and iris take up a lot of the space that you can see, and makes the eyes look almost black.

Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings. The poor boy suffers enough with his day job and a rather sad past to want to watch horror.

Any special talents? Simon is a Weaver, which is essentially a magic user in modern times - technically he's manipulating the fundamentals of reality, but we'll go with magic. He's also a nifty sword fighter (again, "job" related).

Where were they born? Like me, he was born in Portsmouth and so has a special connection to the place. He's a bit older than I am though, having been born in 1976.

What are their hobbies? Simon lives an almost monastic life (by choice), and doesn't really do anything outside of his day job to be honest. The only hobby he really has other than that is rock shaping, but that's mainly to keep him in practice for his research. He does do recreational maths, but even he knows that's rather geeky and keeps that to himself.

Do they have any pets? He and his husband had a dog (a Springer Spaniel named Irene) when they were married, but Simon made sure his partner took it when they separated; unfortunately Irene had passed away before the story started.

What sports do they play/have they played? Simon used to play Rugby at school, and also fenced/sword-fought with his co-workers regularly until he retreated into his work.

How tall are they? 5'7" - He's a short king

Favourite subject in school? Maths. He's always liked now neat and predictable maths is, and the man finds solace in numbers where he can't in people as an adult.

Dream job? He has his dream job now, being a Weaver, but if he wasn't one he'd most likely want to be some kind of accountant or computer programmer.

Tagging @imstressedx, @areseebee, @derrygirlstrash @notactuallyerinquinnfromderry and anyone else who would like to talk about their OC

Exploring Design Styles: Fractal Art

Fractal art sits at the intersection of design and mathematical calculation, which makes it completely mind-bending. this sort of algorithmic artwork results from fractal objects (never-ending patterns that are eternally complex and appear almost like the entire image) represented as various visual artforms, like animation and still images. consider this as mathematical beauty in visualization. Part of the broader genre of latest media art, fractal art may be a trend that took shape within the mid-1980s. During that point , computer aesthetics also began to develop as an kind , as design became more digitized on the road to the 21st century. Due to the mathematical complexity of those fractals, algorithmic art that comes with these patterns and shapes is usually mesmerizing and, some would say, hypnotic. One thing’s for sure: It’s an aesthetic that you’ll be easily ready to identify and won’t soon forget. Prepare to urge your mind blown with this immersive walkthrough on digitized art.

The History of Fractal Art

To figure out where this trend came from, we've to travel back before the 1980s. This decade was known for very retro styles and typography, but, thanks to the then-nascent emergence of computers and therefore the Internet, also for technological inroads in design. However, as a subset of algorithmic art, the roots of fractal design began with the American computer artist Roman Verostko. His claim to fame is that the invention of his proprietary software for creating original art, back within the 1960s. Verostko’s software manipulates the drawing arm of a pen plotter—a machine initially meant for engineering and architectural illustrations. Verostko’s software changed this application to function as an extension of the artist’s drawing hand and arm. It’s important to notice that this was more along the lines of computer-generated art and style , as against fractal art proper, since the pc program was written to inform the pen plotter what to try to to (instead of the artworks being created inside computer memory). Still, this is often a distinction without a difference because all art created by fractals is predicated on software created by man (ie, the artist), after all. To gain a far better understanding of this idea , have a glance at some fractal shapes that are created by designers:

Between the 1960s and mid-1980s, something very profound happened that gave this design trend its identity and name. This was the coining of the word “fractals” by Mandelbrot , a French-American mathematician, in 1975. In reality, though, the concept of fractals has been around since the 17th century, when the German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz mused about self-similarity (possessing an equivalent , statistical similarity at different scales), a key principle in fractals. By the 19th century, another German mathematician, Karl Weierstrass, came up with the primary definition of a fractal (a function with a graph) while presenting to the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences. Still, we can’t ignore Mandelbrot’s contributions to the particular development of fractal art, which is usually created with fractal-generating software. His work led to many , key evolutions that might popularize fractal design within the 1980s: In 1979, Mandelbrot and IBM programmers came up with the primary fractal printouts.

In 1980, special effects researcher and developer Loren Carpenter presents Vol Libre at SIGGRAPH (Special interest on special effects and Interactive Techniques), a two-minute, computer-generated movie that included fractally rendered landscapes.

In 1983, Acorn User magazine featured a BBC BASIC listing for creating fractal shapes.

Starting in 1984, computer games began to render fractal forms in games like Rescue on Fractalus!

Throughout the 1990s and into the 21st century, fractal art has intensified in popularity, because of the increasing use of software programs, also as designers and artists who are willing to experiment with this visualization of mathematical beauty derived from precision algorithms.

The Diversity of Fractal Imagery

The cool thing about this design trend is that the sheer number of various approaches to the present visualization. In essence, a special mathematical calculation results in a singular visualization of a shape. Here’s a fast rundown of all the ways in which algorithms and even artists and painters can express this style.

Standard Geometry Fractals

This type is predicated on standard geometry.

It relies on iterative transformations found on a starting figure, like a line (the Koch snowflake), a cube (the Menger sponge), or a triangle (the Sierpinski Triangle).

Strange Attractors

This is a gaggle of numerical values to which a mathematical system tends to evolve. It must even have a fractal structure.

Iterated Function Systems

Iterated function systems are ways to make fractals.

They’re commonly two-dimensional creations and self-similar.

Newton Fractals

These sorts of fractal art created by applying Newton’s method within the plane of complex numbers.

They are boundary sets.

Fractal Flames

Created by Scott Draves, an American video artist and mathematician, in 1992, fractal flames are a part of the iterated function systems class of fractals.

However, they’re unique in their title because their color is predicated on structure rather than density or monochrome.

Mandelbulbs

Mandelbulbs are three-dimensional figures that were created in 2009 by Paul Nylander and Daniel White.

They were created with spherical coordinates.

L-System or Lindenmayer Fractals

Initially, a parallel rewriting system, the L-system or Lindenmayer system are often wont to generate self-similar shapes.

They’re also helpful in modeling the morphology of various organisms.

Fractal Landscapes

As the name implies, these are surfaces generated via algorithms meant to make fractals that replicate the design of natural terrain.

They are created by random fractal processes. The final sort of fractal art are some things called fractal expressionism. this is often even more special than the shapes we’ve discussed up to the present point because these fractals are created completely by the artists themselves, as against mathematical calculations or computer generations. For this sort , we've the American painter Pollock to thank. His famous painting style—which involved poured paintings and therefore the quite random wildness typified in other design trends like action painting—has been called both organic and natural by critics. Fractal expressionism implies that artworks exhibit a straightaway representation of nature’s pattern in their creations. For some more inspiration, inspect these fractal illustrations created by designers for designers:

The Design Characteristics of Fractal Art

By now, you’ve had an honest , in-depth check out the intricate, mind-bending formations of this digitized sort of art. Here are the common bonds which will always be present in any design that comes with this style: Self-Similarity – A mathematical concept where an object will always be precisely or simply about almost like any a part of itself. In visual artwork, this suggests that a smaller a part of the entire design will look very almost like the whole and the other way around .

Psychedelia – this is often a regard to altered consciousness and styles that plan to recreate this psychological state , like surreal elements and distortions.

Intricate Patterns – A characteristic tied into the aforementioned self-similarity, this intricacy is seen within the sheer level of detail and complexity of any fractal pattern, given the magnitude of repetition of the shapes.

Mathematical Beauty – The premise on which all fractal art is predicated , mathematical beauty refers to the aesthetic enjoyment viewers get from the abstract, pure, and straightforward organization of math.

Patterns in Nature – Fractals are naturally found in nature in many formations, like clouds, shells, mountains, trees, coastlines, and snowflakes, to call just a couple of . Ergo, when admiring algorithmic art, you’re seeing the wildlife represented during a digitized form.

Vivid Colors – Perhaps the foremost striking feature of those shapes is that the color with which they’re displayed. Whether in manmade fractals (ie, Pollock paintings), natural patterns within the environment, or in digitized software, splendid colors are always an indicator of this design trend.

Now that you simply can identify this style wherever you notice it, let’s mention the interesting techniques at work behind the scenes when you’re beholding these awesome formations.

The Techniques Behind Fractals

For starters, the bulk of this artwork comes from algorithms and computer-generated software, with the brilliant colors mentioned above being intentionally added for pure, aesthetic effect. within the overwhelming majority of cases, it’s never drawn or painted by hand, though a number of the notable artworks from Pollock are the exception.

Fractal-creating software is usually the start line for this fractal art, following this sequence:

Establishing the parameters for relevant fractal software

Calculating the doubtless time-consuming algorithm

Assessing the result

In the post-processing phase, additional software could also be utilized to further change the pictures , and there may even be some non-fractal shapes thrown into the combination , supported the artist’s decision.

These days, everywhere you look, you’ll see fractals because the basis for various sorts of animation and digital art. They’ve also found application in various fields like:

Plant-growth simulation

Landscape generation

Texture generation

If you’d wish to try your hand at creating your own fractal masterpieces, there are various programs, both free and paid, that you simply can use:

Apophysis – For Microsoft Windows systems, this is often an open-source IFS program.

Chaotica – this is often a billboard IFS program specifically for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. it's free for non-commercial use.

Electric Sheep – this is often open-source, distributed screensaver software that allows you to animate and evolve fractal flames, for display as screensavers on networked computers.

Terragen – A generator for fractal terrains, Terragen produces animations for both Mac OS X and Windows.

Ultra Fractal – Ultra Fractal is an app for generating and rendering fractals. First available in 1999, it’s since become one among the more popular pieces of software for experimenting with these digitized shapes.

Wolfram Mathematica – this contemporary technical computer system empowers you to make fractals.

Examples of Fractal Art

These mesmerizing patterns and shapes abound all around us, whether in nature, created by algorithms, or as tangible structures created by man. Here are some very noteworthy creations.

Manmade Structures

Main Dome of the Selimiye Mosque

In Edirne, Turkey, sits the Selimiye Mosque, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list. If you visit it and inspect the inside of the mosque’s main dome, you’ll see stunning Islamic geometric patterns, which are very similar in design to the repeating sequences of fractals.

The more you check out the intricate forms and shapes, you start to understand that they share the self-similar trait so characteristic of geometry .

Hindu Temples

Another famous, manmade creation that bears a striking resemblance to the present mathematical artwork is that the Hindu temple. thanks to their penchant for repeating patterns and shapes across the whole , gigantic structure, these temples contain tons of styles which will be considered self-similar, which is that the calling card of fractal illustration and style.

Since the smaller parts of those temples resemble the entire structure, or maybe fit numerous times inside the whole whole, they're said to be fractal in nature. Algorithmic Fractal Art This is the “true” and more well-known application of this style once we speak of this trend. the merchandise of algorithms, computers, and programs, this approach to digital art is actually breathtaking and almost limitless in its creativity. Here are a number of the foremost memorable creations we could find.

3D Fractal Ball

Looking sort of a veritable cover from a Tool album, this digital artwork was created in Apophysis, the renderer and editor of fractal flames that’s available on both Mac and Windows,

If you look closely, you'll see that each one of the tiles that are on the black ground are almost like the whole presentation. Even the series of spheres within the center of the composition displays properties of fractal art, thereby making this creation extremely self-similar.

Random Fractal

Created with the Chaotica program for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows, this random fractal shows what an artist can do with software that has the selective randomization of form parameters.

In essence, it lets the artist hand over a particular degree of control within the creation process. Note how this fractal is a smaller amount symmetrical or balanced that a number of the opposite fractal-based illustrations that we’ve shown you thus far . In spite of this, you'll still appreciate how the varied lines, forms, and patterns relate to every other and to the whole composition as an entire .

Electric Sheep Fractal

Here’s a picture of 1 of the various created through the electrical Sheep project. It shows a figure that’s self-similar, supported the interrogation point squiggles within the foreground being an equivalent shape because the same squiggles farther off within the background.

In addition, the larger, overall image is formed from many, smaller squiggles that appear to travel on forever.

Multi-Layered Fractal

Depending on the mathematical calculations used, a fractal could also be more or less complex. during this case, a multi-layered fractal is one that exhibits extra depth and complexity for the viewer to behold.

Made with the Ultra Fractal software app, this instance of fractal art showcases the immensely gorgeous colors that are possible with this approach to art. Amid the swirling yellows, pinks, reds, and purples, you furthermore may get to ascertain the intricate patterns and spiral shapes seem to stretch on limitlessly. In fact, the left side of the composition displays more complexity than does the proper side of the frame, which is dominated by more regular forms.

Sterling Fractal

Created within the Sterling computer virus , this specific fractal may be a great example of what artists can do with vivid, mind-blowing colors. Featuring mainly cooler colors, this shape calms during a very serene fashion.

From the standpoint of geometry, the composition is additionally a treat, because it features a plethora of curves, swirls, vanishing points, and other aesthetically pleasing forms.

Patterns in Nature

The cool thing is about this sort of art is that you simply can see it in nature, too, without the interference of man. In other words, nature has been creating these wondrous fractals since the start of time—well before our digitized culture started creating fractal art from the mid-1980s onward. Here are a number of the foremost staggering shapes that nature has got to offer.

Nautilus Shell

Not only does the nautilus shell boast an intricate and interesting pattern, but it also demonstrates a logarithmic growth spiral. Put differently , the self-similarity that’s a key think about fractal art is clear within the development of the shell itself. Note how the littlest shapes at the very center of the shell bear a striking resemblance to the growing and bigger patterns toward the surface of the shell.

Namib Desert Sand Dunes

The self-similarity of this design trend doesn’t just need to be present in natural objects that are self-contained. they will even be present within the environment, where outside forces act on the landscape itself. Case in point: the sand dunes of the Namib Desert of southern Africa. The sand patterns are ever-changing because they form supported how the wind blows. However, both the ripples on the surface of the sand and therefore the crescent-shaped dunes themselves reform whenever there are appropriate conditions (read: when the wind blows effectively enough).

A Design Found in Algorithm Art and Nature

Though this digitized art first appeared within the mid-1980s, you'll convincingly argue that it’s been around forever thanks to its uncanny presence in nature. Indeed, perhaps in no other design trend is that the nexus between computerized influence and natural inclination so strong as during this one, learn graphic designing from the high instructions which is providing the best graphic designing course in Delhi Whether digital or straight from nature, one thing’s clear: The self-similarity concept of this approach to art is mind-bending and wondrous. It’s also the idea of this fractal art, which ensures these timeless, unique designs will still inspire awe in viewers round the globe.

what did I learn?

Two years have come and gone and I would like to think that I have learned new practices, new approaches and made enough mistakes to know right from wrong as a designer.

Even now as the year draws to an end I keep looking back at events, conversations, movements and structure of the programme to draw substance. This constant regression through time is fuelled with the question why. Why did Clint introduce us to technology through sound, more specifically through the transformation of mechanical pressure to electrical pressure? why did Ricardo find it so important to develop our listening abilities? why are the first year students focused on movement? Why is Miranda so interested in the philosophy of post humanism? Why was Antonin so interested in sound and architecture? Why is Laurent asking me to define a mathematical point through practice? What led to the integration art, design, communication studies, computing, mathematics and engineering in 2005 at AUT?

Although I am never able to answer these questions for my self I continue to question them. This has led me to realise that what I achieved this semester is a manifesto of what was happening around me, as I listened, observed and walked around the freeze frames of two years of my life.

but what did I learn, What did I learn.

1. I learnt how to develop heuristics when faced with complexity.

I was able to develop flexible interdisciplinary approaches within rigid time constraints and as a result I was able to deliver at an industry level every time.

2. I learnt how to approach opportunities and how to nurture professional relationships.

I was able to generate prototypes which demonstrated both WHY and how my ideas worked. The duplicity of why and how an idea worked would go on to create trust at a professional level with my industry partner. This relationship with industry would go on to materialise as the sound sky vehicle which carried both my personal creative interests, my academic purposes and a future business model for the industries of sports recreation centres and creative audio interfaces.

3. I learnt about my self and what it is that I want to do, and what I want to become.

I was able to develop personal strengths, learn new skills and elevate my understanding around applied electricity, user experiences and user interfaces. As a result I created something which would challenge my purpose. What do I want to be? Do I want to be a product designer? Do I want to be a music producer? Do I want to be a technician/installation based artist? Do I want to commercialise Sound Sky? Do I want to return to wearable arts? Do I want to become immersed again in maths and theoretical physics?

I don't know.I will have to fall into the unknown with even greater force.

What would I do differently?

Start the poster and statements on the first day of semester. That will make a big difference next year.

#GHC17: Grace Hopper Conference Entry @Stemettes

Stage 1:

For stage one we would like you to engage with friends, family, teachers, peers, Sherpas, mentors etc - otherwise known as your network.

We want you to promote STEM and encourage more girls to explore the amazing possibilities of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths - like you are.

We live in a digital age, surrounded by technology. It’s everywhere- in our homes, on our desks... under our pillows at 3 am after a netflix binge of a 3 season long show when we know we have a 9am class the next day. Something I’m interested in finding more about is computer science- that’s my STEM pathway. I found out about computer science by myself. I grew up in an all-girls school, and I was not lucky enough to be exposed to the amazing world that is STEM. I didn’t know much about engineering, at all- in fact when I thought of an engineer the first thing that came to mind looked a little like this:

Now this image may be true of some, but it isn’t the case for all. I didn’t know of the amazing network and community of women and girls my age because there was no spreading of STEM. Being in a mix-gendered sixth form connected to an all-girls lower school, I decided to share STEM in a fun way!

In light of international Women in Engineering Day, I created a presentation to share to year 10 students in hopes of inspiring them to find out more about STEM and giving them confidence to try hard in STEM subjects! The positive feedback I received from teachers and most importantly the students gave me an even greater push to spread STEM. Slides from the presentation are as below :)

Sharing the world of STEM is something I am really passionate about. As someone who was never introduced to the world of STEM growing up at school, I feel a need and responsibility to send this message to young girls.

I also created some posters around the sixth form as well as the lower school, about STEM-y things to do in the summer!

Stage 2:

“Communicate the benefits you’ve gained from your Sherpa and from being a part of the stemettes by telling your story!”

When reflecting on my Student to Stemette experience I thought about how much I've grown from the first day of meeting my amazing, inspirational mentor. I recreated growth within the four month programme, from the first month to the last, by doing paintings to signify each month. I’ve explained the meaning behind each picture and my journey in the audio below :).

https://soundcloud.com/user-938252191/stage-2-tahanni-hussein

Month 1: Autumn

Month 2: Winter

Month 3: Spring

Month 4: Summer

Some quotes that speak for my mentorship experience with Kerry :)

“A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could.” - Anonymous

“A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.” - Bob Proctor

Note: I recorded myself painting and was going to edit a time lapse with a voice over, but due to technical INCONVENIENCES this idea had to be re-thought! :)

__________________________________________________

Stage 3:

a) Why do you think it is important that companies like Deutsche Bank and Stemettes give girls the opportunity to attend a conference like the Grace Hopper Celebration?

“The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing is the world's largest gathering of women technologists.”

Being one of the four in my old college’s computer science class, and being the only student interested in pursuing computer science@uni in my sixth form, there are not many opportunities for students like me in my school. Computer science is a subject that is not taught in most school curriculum- for example, my school does not offer it as an A-level.

"In secondary school less emphasis is placed on developing girls’ computer science skills as compared to boys.”

This is the case for many girls interested in STEM.

Another key factor which companies like those mentioned above should give girls the opportunity to attend conferences like #GHC is the fact that many girls do not have STEM role models that they can see and speak to in person. In many instances, schools do not have the funding nor resources to take students to meet inspirational women in STEM; there also aren’t many women in STEM coming into schools to speak about their roles. A conference like #GHC is an encouraging, inspiring, enriching event where WOMEN are the MAJORITY- something which students almost never get to see.

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”

I think involvement is key in impacting young girls the most. This event is not an easily accessible event as it is across the pond and quite expensive for those who are interested. I would not be able to fund a ticket myself, however with companies like Deutsche bank and Stemettes providing a platform for young women to gain even more inspiration and long-term skills, it is possible!

b) What will your contribution to the Grace Hopper Celebration be?

I hope to use my improved communication skills and the new networking skills I’ve gained to expand my network and not only meet&bond with other amazing women in STEM, but with recruiters and companies at the conference. Aside from spreading the event through the means mentioned below, I hope to document everything I learn and apply them to help my journey into Computer Science.

c) If you get a ticket to Grace Hopper 2017, how will you share your experience when you’re back in UK?

The first medium I will use is this blog here, as I follow and interact with a HUUGE network of women and girls in STEM, specifically technology. I hope to make a blog entry about my experience and skills, insight and inspo gained, as well as share photographs. I will also hope to write on our school blog/website, to reach out to the young students and inspire them to sign up.

If I’m selected, I will speak about my journey on STS and the GHC celebration.. I will also spread the message by designing posters which I hope to share around the school, as I am a visual person and enjoy designing and creating projects.

As I am a big user of social media I hope to share my experience through this. I will live tweet (@tahannisays) #GHC17 about my experience at the conference and once it is over :) #GHC17.

Link

JavaScript is a high-level, dynamic and scripting computer programming language. It is lightweight and most frequently used as part of web pages, the implementation of which allows client-side scripts to communicate with the user and create dynamic pages. It is also an interpreted, object-oriented programming language. JavaScript was first known as LiveScript. But Netscape changed its name to JavaScript, probably due to Java's enthusiasm. In 1995, JavaScript produced its first appearance with the name LiveScript in Netscape 2.0. Netscape, Internet Explorer and other web browsers have embedded the language's general-purpose core.

JavaScript was created by Brendan Eich in 1995, which appeared in Netscape, a popular browser of the time.

The language was first called LiveScript and later JavaScript. Many programmers believe JavaScript and Java are the same. JavaScript and Java are actually very different.

Java is a complicated programming language, while JavaScript is a scripting language only. JavaScript syntax is mainly influenced by the language C of the programming.

Run JavaScript

You don't have to worry about using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox or any other web browser, JavaScript is supported all.

Javascript Tools

Webstorm

Atom

CodeLobster

Komodo Edit

You need to begin a text editor to write your code and a browser to show the web pages you are developing. You can use your preferred text editor, including Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, Atom, or any other text editor that you are comfortable with.

You can use any web browser that includes Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, etc.

Hello World JavaScript Program

If you keep your JavaScript code in the HTML document itself, you should place all of your JavaScript code within < script > tags (< script > and </script >). This enables your browser to differentiate your JavaScript code from the remainder of the code.

Since there are other scripting languages on the client-side (Example: VBScript), it is highly recommended that you specify the scripting language you are using.

You must use the type attribute within the < script > tag and set the value to text/javascript as follows:

Basic of JavaScript Programming

HTML provides a special < SCRIPT > tag allowing developers to embed JavaScript within the page markup. The variable declaration using the JavaScript var keyword is very simple and does not have a complicated set of initialization rules, as can be found in Java or C++. JavaScript is known as the untyped language, so that variables may be used as a program in a variety of forms.

JavaScript Functions vs. Methods

The contents of the < SCRIPT > tag may either be code to be invoked as soon as a user encounters the < SCRIPT > tag or it may contain JavaScript functions.

JavaScript functions are similar to what other languages would call methods. These JavaScript features contain code that can be triggered by a browser-based case such as a mouse click, page load, submission of type or keystroke.

It is also common to invoke another JavaScript function to perform additional work.

Modern JavaScript Libraries

The basic JavaScript engine with a modern browser only provides an important and basic set of APIs for the development of software. A lot of code requires to be written to perform complex functions, such as applying an Ajax-based request-response cycle or even performing advanced DOM parsing or string manipulations.

The fact that differences exist between each major vendor in which versions of JavaScrpt they are implementing, and in the bug-free way these implementations, further complicates the task of writing code to achieve common yet complex programming tasks.

Use the var keyword of JavaScript to declare variables

Because it is permissible for a variable named greeting to be created as a text string type String to change on the fly into a type integer variable, JavaScript is known as a weakly typed language. In a strongly typed language such as C++ or Java, this sort of variable conversion would cause a compilation error. Historically, the var keyword was used to initiate a variable declaration. However, the variable may end up with the larger scope when the Var keyword is used than originally intended to cause conflicts with other parts of the code that may declare a variable similarly named.

JavaScript and Java

A common misunderstanding is that JavaScript is similar or closely connected with Java. It is true that they both have a syntax similar to the C language. They are also typically both sandboxed (when used in a browser), and JavaScript was designed with Java's syntax and standard library in mind. In specific, all keywords in JavaScript original have been reserved; a normal JavaScript library follows Java naming conventions, while objects in JavaScript math and dates are based on Java 1.0 classes but the similarities end there. Both Java and JavaScript first appeared in 1995. But Java was developed by James Gosling in Sun Microsystem and JavaScript by Brendan Eich in Netscape Communication. The differences between these two languages are more prominent than their similarities. Java has static typing while the typing of JavaScript is dynamic. Java is loaded from the compiled bytecode, while JavaScript is loaded as the source code readable by the human. The objects of Java are class-based, while those of JavaScript is prototype-based. Finally, Java did not support functional programming until Java 8, whereas JavaScript was influenced by Scheme from the beginning.

Use of JavaScript

There are many uses of JavaScript in the programming language. JavaScript used in

1. Web Development

JavaScript is a language for client scripting that is used to create web pages. It is a stand-alone language created in Netscape. It is used to make a webpage dynamic and add special effects on websites such as rollover, roll-out, and many kinds of graphics. It is mostly used by all websites for validation purposes.

2. Web Application

Browsers and personal computers have improved to the extent that a language was needed to create robust web applications. When a user explores a map in Google Maps, the user just has to click and drag the mouse.

3. Server Application

Node JS is designed to run on Chrome's Javascript to create quick, scalable network applications. It uses event-driven, lightweight and effective apps to be dispersed with a server via the devices. Javascript is used to manage HTTP requests and to generate content.

4. Web Server

A web server can be developed using JS Node. The benefits of Node JS are that it is event-driven and would not wait for the earlier call's reaction.

5. Games

Not only websites, but the use of JavaScript also helps to create recreation games. The mixture of JavaScript and HTML5 also makes JavaScript popular in game creation. Besides that JavaScript use to Smartwatch Applications, Mobile Applications, Flying Robots, etc.

Safe Nomad (7). Anthony Galli, USA. “Failure is not an option.”

It is very unlikely for someone aged 26 to have such thing as a “biography”. And by that I don’t mean the timeline of being born, going to school, getting a job, and partying in Ibiza or Cancun once. No. I mean it in the sense of “a life story worth telling”. Anthony Galli does have such a story and at the time of my writing this piece – some two months after I met him in Siem Reap, Cambodia – his story is still probably evolving at the same breakneck speed as always.

He was a bad student in primary school. Then he developed an attraction for history and language, two subjects in which he excelled during high school. Then he went to study Political Science. Worked for a state senator, and also a state assemblyman and at the age of 21 he even ran for local office.

Right after University, he bought an RV (Recreation Vehicle or camper van) and spent the next couple of years like a hobo, roaming across the US while making money out of temporary jobs and poker tournaments. He used this time to learn coding so he could develop an online app he had in mind. (We will get back to that later.)

When he reached the bottom of his pocket, he devised a bold plan: he would sell his vehicle and move to Asia, where the lower cost of living would give him a “longer runway” to take his project off the ground. He did as planned and for the last few months has lived, learned and worked in Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam (he moved to Ho Chi Minh just a few days ago).

Around the grapevines of Angkor Hub, the adorable and welcoming co-working space in Siem Reap, the rumor had it that Anthony would one day become a great personality of American politics. And while some may see this as over the top, one should not judge Anthony’s future by his young age or elephant-print pants; he’s got what it takes to follow the footsteps of his favorite American heroes Jefferson and Lincoln. He’s got the will, the knowledge, and – last but not least – the looks.

If this prophecy is ever proven right and this young man is a Governor, Secretary of State or even The President of the United States, remember where you saw him first: this blog.

“Bad boy Anthony”

Anthony was a bad student and a troublemaker during his early years and not because he did not want to study, but because nothing was motivating him enough to do so.

“If I’m passionate about something, I will put all my energy into it. But in primary school I found nothing attractive enough to be worth the effort. Just later, in high school, I discovered history and was amazed by the biographies of great historical figures. Even then, I was a top student in History and English and bottom of the class in Math and Science. That’s how I am: either fully committed or not giving a damn.”

His high grades eased his entry to the Political Science Department at the Binghamton University in upstate New York. Then one day he had this idea about a productivity app that could empower people to get the most out of their lives. He took it to some programmer friends, proposing that they split the ownership and profits evenly. They turned him down.

“They said they had better offers from the likes of Google or Facebook and they wouldn’t split 50-50 with me on an idea which they would work alone on, since I did not know anything about programming. I heard that a lot – that my idea was worthless and that the execution was everything.”

Passionate about his idea, he joined a tech club to learn how to code and develop the app by himself. George Washington would have done the same.

Live to Challenge

Anthony’s online app, called Live to Challenge, is a habit and goal tracker. Users create habits and goals and track them to completion. It’s also a social platform where one can set goals together with friends and helps people achieve more in life than they would do otherwise.

“Besides history and politics, I was passionate about self-improvement books and blogs. I’ve found all the information really helpful, but I felt that there was no good app out there to help implement the advice. You read, you say wow, this is great, I’m gonna do it, then you completely forget about it.

I think the more people use my app the better they will become so I want as many people as possible to sign up for it. Once the app gets bigger I can turn it into a business with real employees, I would like to build it into a big tech business to help as many people as possible to build a life around it.

I am willing to give everything it takes to make this successful because there comes a time when you have invested so much in something that failure is not an option.”

Anthony’s life philosophy: how to be hugely successful in the future.

“In today’s economy everything is about skills. People in their 20s should focus on developing their skills. Many millennials were like once I finish college I am going for the best paying job.

This best paying job could be a bartender, for example, because you make good money in tips. That’s a good job if you’re twenty-something, but how are you going to position yourself through your 40s and 50s?

I followed a different strategy; I worked less so I could learn more and therefore better position myself to be hugely successful in the future.

What I do now is a stepping stone, part of my guiding philosophy which is all about empowering the individual, specifically empowering people to live better lives.”

How technology unleashes creativity

“We had an industrial revolution that turned people from using their muscles to using their bodies as a whole and now we turn to an economy focused on using the mind. Everything is going to be more creative in nature; whatever idea you have, the technology offers the possibility to make it a reality. Creativity will be highly encouraged and empowered.

Technology allows me to turn my vision into reality, I can focus more on my vision than selling it as I would have had to 10 years ago. Nowadays I can do a lot more by myself.

Technology has always given a lot of people freedom and will continue to do so because now freeing the mind is possible in ways never seen before.”

Doing his thing, feeling protected

“I don’t recommend the digital nomad lifestyle to everyone because it’s risky living abroad on savings to build a business.

In my case, my desire for success is greater than my fear of failure.

Some want security from work and derive their meaning from other pursuits, like family, recreation, hobbies, church or philanthropy. That’s more of a working to live philosophy.

I live to work. I spend most of my time working, but it’s out of passion and dedication and it makes me feel good. I know my work has a lot of meaning. When I wake up in the morning I’m more like I can’t wait to work! There is excitement, there is something I have in mind and I want it accomplished. I feel my best when I know I’ve accomplished something. Every day I’m looking to accomplish something and if I don’t, I feel like I’ve failed.

Life is not about living quietly by the beach. For me, as crazy as it sounds, life is about making the world better because you were here.”

He did not blink when he said that.

The Totally different Sides of Laptop Recreation Programming

Many individuals will play laptop video games with none data of how much work went into the game. True, lots of thought and creativity had to be employed as a way to make the game work, but the sport additionally required a great deal of laptop programming and data of various laptop programming languages as a way to make the game not solely feel actual, but look attractive as well. There are a lot of sides of laptop sport programming, so in case you are fascinated with laptop sport programming and should want to take up programs in the future, take a look at this list. The sport physics programmer is somebody who directs how a sport uses physics as a way to look correct and feel correct. Normally, a computer sport won’t utterly simulate the physics of an actual world, but some important facets of physics could have to return into play for some games. As an illustration, wind resistance is perhaps important to dogfights, while the fluid but retarded movements of some characters in water is perhaps needed for a task-taking part in game. Article about running shoes store Charleston SC.

The unreal intelligence programmer is the one accountable for growing the logical sequence of the game itself. As an illustration, when a sport entails finding a path, employing methods, or giving rise to enemy ways, an artificial intelligence programmer may be called in to make a sport smart ? in other phrases, to make the game think on its own. Generally, the computer language used for artificial intelligence programming is easier than other languages, and it can be shared with the game?s players.

The graphics programmer uses a collection of codes and algorithms as a way to provide graphics in the world of the game. In the fashionable age, a graphics programmer has to work in a 3-dimensional setting, and should due to this fact have data of calculus, vector math, and other algebra ideas that may be needed for specializing in rendering such images. There are solely very few graphics programmers, and they could normally demand excessive wages for his or her work. A sound programmer will provide sounds in terms of characters? dialogues, music, and even sounds that may make the game appear more actual, such as the sound of crunching leaves or grass as characters stroll on them. The gameplay programmer will add to the expertise of the game, and can accomplish that by focusing on the game?s feel and strategy.

Laptop sport programming will even require a team of scripters, who’re additionally normally the designers of the game. These scripters write the code of the game itself, normally with a primary laptop language. Additionally needed are user interface programmers, or the UI: the UI programmers will create a library of various facets that can be used across a wide variety of worlds throughout the sport, or a wide variety of video games within a manufacturer. The UI programming language entails a great deal of math, with the intention of manufacturing particular effects.

Additionally important is an enter programmer, who writes codes for how completely different sorts of hardware, such as the keyboard, joystick, or mouse, will affect the game. The network programmer will discover methods for the game to work on a network, the place individuals can play against every other. A porting programmer ensures that the game can work on completely different platforms and operating systems.
