Real Programming Pragmatism

Real Programming Pragmatism Desde el inicio de la era de la computación, los programadores han discutido acerca de cual es el mejor lenguaje de programación,. En este articulo separa los lenguajes en dos, los  lenguajes de 'scripting' como Python o Perl, y los orientados a objetos como Java.  A cada uno de estos dos grupos le define ventajas y desventajas.  Una de las ventajas que recalca acerca de los lenguajes scrpyting es la facilidad que tienen con proyectos ágiles, por su facilidad, alcance y facilidad de mantenimiento, esta es la razón por la que se usa este tipo de lenguajes en proyectos de aplicaciones web. Un dato cusioso del articlo es que los lengaujes  scrpyting se volvieron famosos y utiles para programadores que fueran de mente independiente, ya que estos lengaujes le permiten a genios y personas dotadas que quieren realizar proyectos completos por su cuenta. De igual forma el autor especifica que estos lenguajes no siempre son la...

Revenge of the nerds

The author in this article explained the definition of a pointy-haired boss, which is the boos that will ask you to develop a program or a system, he will not be able to determine how will it work or in which language should be code it, but he will assume the best choice is Java, this is because he should have heard Java is a stand so for him this will be the best tool to use. We know that not all the programming languages are the same, but I really think that this assumption may be correct in the way that you can solve almost every problem with Java implementation, but this doesn't mean that the best choice for an specific problem should have been Java, maybe another language like C++ or Python could have been a better solution. Considering what the author said, “The disadvantage of believing that all programming languages are equivalent is that it's not true. But the advantage is that it makes your life a lot simpler”, we can establish that every solution can be solve ...

Dick Gabriel on Lisp

This essay is about a podcast made by Dick Gabriel, in which the main subject is the programming language called Lisp. Despite of my few knowledge of this programming language, i think Lisp is a very useful and interesting language, which will increase my abilities in coding. Before this, he explained that he studied artificial life, mathematics and poetry on Stanford, this developed in him an interest in the programming language Lips, because this language creates code with code, which is a very interesting and useful functionality. Dick Gabriel has a very impressive curriculum so he deserves to be take serious in subjects as computer science in specific his areas of expertise which are artificial life and maths. Another curious fact about Lisp is that it was the very first language in develop a garbage collector which allows programmers to develop code faster and better. In my own opinion i think this was a very big step in computer science, because of this now people with ...

The Semicolon Wars

The Semicolon Wars As the author tried to explain at the beginning of his paper, scientists have worked hard to find the "perfect" programming language that describes a problem or a data structure in the best possible way. Given this goal, an endless war has developed in decide which programming language best fits this goal. Which the author considers an unnecessary and ridiculous fight. On the other hand I consider that the programming languages ​​are evolving each one of them to achieve this programming language "perfect" although we can not deny that each of these programming languages ​​are different from each others because they can solve in different ways different problems, although, each one provides advantages and disadvantages. Later in the paper, the author suggests that all programming languages ​​have the same computational power, so that the fight is really in deciding which allows you to express your algorithm, to clarify this, begins to compare ...

About me

Mi name is Josep Romagosa, I really dont know what expect about this course, although, it looks like a very intersisting subject. One of the areas in my career that most find intersting is Web development, so I hope can get as much information as i can of this class. About me... I love performing arts, theater, dance, concerts, etc. I am in the theater group, and in the student group Catarsis. Also in my spare time I love watching movies, my genre is the dramatic piece. As for literature, I like to read books, but I can not find time to devote to reading, among my favorite books is Don Quixote (Miguel de Cervantes), and Colorin Colorado (Odin Dupeyron).
