From a student’s perspective, learning a new programming language is not just about knowing the syntax. It’s also about knowing the future scope of that particular language and how it will help you grow as a professional. With the ever...
No, that’s not a typo. There’s really programming language that’s simply referred to as “R.” Created by statistician and computer programming John Chambers while working for Bell Labs in the early 1990s, R is a programming language that’s closely aligned...
Groovy programming is the brainchild of James Strachan, who first discussed the idea of this object-oriented language for use on the Java platform back in 2003. Since then, numerous versions have been released, with Groovy 1.1 Final officially launching for...
A language that performs huge scientific and high performance numerical calculations with great efficacy sounds cool. But its not exactly something every programmer needs. Does that mean Julia is of no relevance to the majority of coders and developers out...
Everyone says JavaScript has transformed web development, and that its libraries are obliterating long established programming languages. BUT, everyone also says that most websites still rely on PHP. Doesn’t really add up, does it? PHP and similar languages have been...
Now that we’ve covered the basic workings of Erlang, let’s dive deep into the nitty gritty. We looked at how to create a simple Erlang code which prints ‘Hello World’ on the screen and have also looked into the Erlang...
“How long does it take for someone with very little programming experience to become an Erlang expert?” This is one of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to Erlang (and all other programming languages for that matter), but...
Programmers have always known that new programming languages need to be learned to keep their skills marketable in the workplace. That trend is not only continuing – it seems to be increasing due to the rate of change taking place...
Programming enthusiasts are flowing towards object oriented programming languages like C++, Java and Python in waves. So when someone says that learning a functional programming language like Erlang is a great option, it’s both surprising and confusing in equal measure....
Have you heard of Julia programming? If not, you probably will soon. This dynamic high-level programming language is able to meet the unique needs of scientific computing while still being an effective tool for general-purpose coding, web development, and specification...
