….Can you all guess what is the result of above few lines??,,or simply what does it mean? Explorers in computer science background may have slight  guess going on in your mind. The result of above query is “no results”. I admire the sayings of Maria Klawe which is “Coding is today’s  language of creativity, All our children deserve a chance to become creators instead of consumers of computer science. Thats the reason I started the article with few lines  of code, so learn to code easily and quickly with right the right learning strategy.



WHAT IS CODING?

  •          Coding is all about writing a computer program to solve a specific program.
  •          Computer code is used to program the websites, apps, and other technologies we interact with every day.
                Depending about the software developed, the coder decides which language to be used according to his knowledge and efficiency.

IS CODING HARD TO LEARN?

No, it is not hard to learn. Initially some people find it bit scary and tedious during the learning process. Efforts, and the patience, which you need to invest ,while programming is all that matters. If you have right learning strategy, then you can easily learn the computer programming without much difficulty.

Lets explore  our strategies !!

  1.            Clear the basic concepts of computer science and programming
  2.         Consider both theory and practical equally   
  3.              Be professionally qualified programmer
  4.            Learn the programming practices
  5.           Start learning simple programming language
  6.         Work on the project

And yes, this is our learning curve. Computer programming is just one part of over all fields of computer science. So, making the foundation part clear make you a professional programmer.

 

START WITH SIMPLE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE:

·         As a beginner, it is recommended to start with simple procedural language C.C language is simple, gives a fairly good exposure to language structure which includes concepts of variables, data types, functions, pointers, loops, syntax and so on.

  Starting with the procedural language, moving on to the object oriented programming language such as C++ or Java.

Python is always recommended if you’re looking for an easy and even fun programming language to learn first. Rather than having to jump into strict syntax rules, Python reads like English and is simple to understand for someone who’s new to programming.

 C#, Javascript are also considered to be good options for budding programmers. However the choice of first programming language really depends on your personal preference.

HOW TO WRITE PROGRAM CODE:

There are two options to start coding in a simple text editor or use a fully automated programming tool such as Integrated Development Environment(IDE).IDE tool package consists of compiler, debugger, automatic language syntax correction. Most popularly used IDE includes

·         NetBeans

·         eClipse

·         IntelliJ

IDE makes programmers to code easier as making a small mistake in the code reports error and hence debugging the large  program errors is timeconsuming too.Ide may not be the best option as an absolute beginner.

The other option for beginners is using the simple text editor such as Notepad. In these editors, initially you might commit mistakes in syntax mainly, but once you become expertise in writing code you can start using IDE which becomes much easier for coding and debugging.

 

The theoretical knowledge is important to understand the language syntax. However it is equally important to start working simultaneously on a project  , logically proceeding step by step and implement the knowledge you have gained.Lets end up with the success algorithm,

                             While(noSuccess)

                            {

                                  tryagain();

                                  if(dead)

                                             break;

                               }

 

Hope you know the result of the above code, and yes coders start drawing the learning curve from today. Keep exploring… Thanks for reading !!..Hope you liked this blog, share your thoughts and stay engaged for more blogs.

MULTIMEDIA

  These days, most of us carry a fully functional multimedia studio around in our smartphones says Austin Kleon . We people  really wanted to engage with our own generation, one that is increasingly speaking in an audio/video multimedia language.  Multimedia is an effective way to communicate and share the ideas with users. W hat is multimedia??.... In what ways are they used ??.. Well, The proper definition of multimedi a is a computerized method of presenting information combining text, audio, video, graphics and animation . As the name suggests it is the combination of multi and media that different types of hardware and software tools  are used for communication of information. Let us see some examples related to multimedia from the bricks to the brains; ·         The text we see in books, newspapers or any means of media ·         The sound we hear when we listen to music ·         The graphics...

Exploring The Hidden Internet

What is the internet to us? Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Amazon, Flipkart, and many more websites, That's it? Well, no! The most fascinating and shocking fact is that the internet we use each day is just 4%. In this article, we are going to learn about the mysterious side of the internet.  Curious? Let's head on to our topic. Introduction The Internet is a vast network that connects all the computers across the globe which enables people to share information as well. The internet pieces of information are broadly classified into three types : Surface Web Deep Web Dark Web Surface VS Deep VS Dark Web Let's imagine the internet like a glacier. As we know the visible part of the glacier is small but the non-visible parts of the glacier under it are too deep. SURFACE WEB: The surface Web is often compared to the top of the glacier which is small, visible, and can be accessed easily. In other words, the Surface Web is simply the internet we use in our daily life. The s...

SKINPUT TECHNOLOGY

Touch screens may be popular both in science fiction and real life as the symbol of next-gen technology, but an innovation called Skinput suggests the true interface of the future might be us “Skinput” turns body into touch screen interface. The founders of this great technology  is Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University. By the way, what do skinput technology mean?....           Skinput is a technology that appropriates human body for acoustic transmission, enabling the skin to be utilized as an input surface.           This technology allows human hand and arm as touch screens, by sensing various low-frequency vibrations and sounds that are generated by touching different part of the hand or arm.           These signals are sensed using various sensors worn on the arm in the form of arm band. "The arm band is a crude prototype, the next generation could be made considerably smaller – likely easi...
