Monty Python and the Quest For the Holy Programming Language
2008-09-21 21:43:00 There's room for a movie with that title. "We ride for Hackalot!" Cue epic journey across hill and dale, following many a wizened oracle squatting by a campfire tantalizing us with half-made-up legends. It exists! I've seen it! The Holy Programming Language! It's right over that mountain, past the Valley of Dead Platforms, through the Forest of Disgruntled Bloggers, into the Maw of the Proprietary Swamps, and out across the Bridge of Design Paradigms. Hold on, wait a minute. Are we sure it's even out there? There is no programming language that is without detractors. Take, for instance, PHP. Here's yet another in a long history of musings as to what should be done about it. It is true, PHP sucks. Python sucks, Ruby sucks, C sucks, Bash sucks. HTML and Javascript and ActionScript and Java suck. Visual Anything sucks, as does Lisp and Haskell and COBOL. We'll never run out of it. Your favorite language sucks too - especially yours! Really, it seems that flaming about language...

Introduction To PHP, The Web Programming Language
2008-04-17 16:24:00 PHP is a recursive acronym for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor, though it originally stood for Personal Home Page. It is designed specifically for the web, hence a web programming language. PHP is a server-side scripting language which can be either embedded into HTML documents or used alone. Since PHP is a interpreted language, when someone requests a page containing PHP, the code is interpreted on the server and the output (often HTML) is returned to the client web browser. As you might have guessed, PHP can help you generate different outputs depending on the conditions and generate different pages depending on conditions programmed, hence able to create what wee call “Dynamic Pages”. For example, suppose we want to put the current date and time on our web page, HTML alone won’t do any good. So a nice option would be to use PHP (in fact, any sever-sided programming language would be fine. It could also be done with JavaScript but due to ...

But what i think, PHP is a incomplete programming language as well as a bad programming language which gives bad practise for the programmers.I can point out why a most popular programming language used in Internet sucks and have a lots of darkside...1) No need to define and declare varaible - In most of the programming language, you have to declare the the type of variable and define it before to be used in the code but in php you don't have declare the type of variable before using.Although, it make easy for the programmer but ita bad practice at all for a genuine programming concept.2) No Strict data conversion - Well as you see in java, if you try to concat a integer variable with a string variable you've to convert it into string variable before concating with string otherwise compiler throws exception. But, in php if you've to do so ...

F# (F Sharp) - A Functional Programming Language
2007-10-18 11:44:00 Language features such as lambda expressions in C# and generics in .NET 2.0 have roots in functional languages, and LINQ is directly based on functional programming techniques. Through LINQ and Parallel FX, ideas from functional languages are helping us address some of the biggest challenges facing the industry today, from the impedance mismatch between data and objects to the challenges of the multi-core and parallel computing space. Several of these key technologies have started out as projects in Microsoft Research. One of the really promising current projects from MSR is the F# programming language, spearheaded by Don Syme. F# stems from the functional programming tradition (hence the ?F?) and has strong roots in the ML family of languages, though also draws from C#, LINQ and Haskell. F# is designed from the outset to be a first class citizen on .NET. This means that F# runs on the CLR, embraces object-oriented programming, and has features to ensure a smooth integration with t...

Learning C++ Programming Language Is Bad For Your Career … C++ Programmer
2007-07-26 07:41:00 Hi, Do you want to learn the C++ programming language or become a C/C++ computer programmer? Have you ever asked this question “which programming language is the most complex and challenging?” and received the answer C++? If you answered yes, you are not alone. About 13 years ago, I asked my mentors in computer programming which programming language is the hardest, toughest, most difficult to learn? And got the reply C++. I asked the question because I badly wanted to become a successful programmer. So, I reasoned that if I could prove myself by conquering the hardest programming language, my success in computer programming would be guaranteed. Recently, a number of C/C+ software developers have been turning to me for help with their computer programmer careers. They do this by taking advantage of the free developer mentoring sessions available to programmers who order my book. So, what could go wrong with the career of a software developer who has conquered one of the meanest,...

Most Popular Programming Languages
2007-05-31 03:30:00 Debate over the most popular programming language can become an emotional, almost religious battle. And sometimes there's no debate at all, such as when a developer is assigned to repair legacy software. "It was written in COBOL?" is a popular refrain. A programming language is just one tool in a developer's expansive collection of specialty software and hardware. So does it really matter which programming language a developer uses, as long as he or she is meeting customer requirements on time and within budget? Yes, yes it does. Ford or Chevy. Stihl or Husky. Coke or Pepsi. Let's face it, we all get passionate about our tools. (more…)

Scratching An Itch for an Easy Programming Language
2007-05-16 14:53:00 The surprising thing about the new Scratch programming IDE from MIT is that it's only made for Windows and Mac right now, and is under a license that might not be fully open source. So I'm kind of hesitant to cover it - but this is MIT we're talking about, the project could change as it matures. They do say they're planning a Linux version by the end of the year. This is the Scratch website, but since they've just made the front page of Slashdot, Digg (with 1647 votes currently), BBC News, and probably half a hundred blogs like mine, I wouldn't expect their server to come up any time soon. So, Scratch (and I haven't used it yet, of course) is a kind of application meant to teach kids programming. Instead of learning a syntax, they work in a graphical environment to snap modules together like Lego blocks. It's good for creating animations, games, and general demos. It sounds like I wouldn't want to code a server in it. If this idea sounds familiar to you, you're right: T...
