Make It SImple For YOU

In case you missed it, the recently launched  Visual Studio 2019  comes with a number of handy new features to help developers become more productive. Mastering these new components, along with the integrated development environment already wide array of features, serves as a great advantage for anyone looking to advance in the programming industry. Indeed,  the Bureau of Labor Statistics  reports that computer and technology jobs are projected to grow by 13% annually from 2016 to 2026. The median annual wage for these occupations is more than $80,000 last year. Since the industry is quite lucrative, businesses are beginning to streamline the people they choose to fill open roles, so much so that  Yoss  highlights that many are only looking to hire from the top 1% of the tech talent pool — particularly those who have gone through a rigorous skills validation and qualification process. Therefore, programmers looking to rise above the rest must be pro...

Becoming a good programmer is incredibly difficult and it doesn't happen quickly. We can't expect to plant some trees and have 2000-year-old redwoods grow overnight, regardless of the demand for them. Personality traits One basically has to be an autodidact to learn to program. It takes years of practice to learn everything necessary to get beyond just a basic level where you can write short programs that work. No one has ever become a great programmer just by taking classes or reading books. It takes hours of practice. And contrary to popular belief, CS programs do not teach programming. CS programs teach theory. As a programmer, you need to have nearly unlimited persistence to continue trying to troubleshoot, fix, and develop things. It takes a special person to persist this much, especially when it often seems like you're not making any progress. This is pretty much a personality trait, and not having this level of persistence is enough to turn off most peo...

There are many reasons why a designed language like C/C++, Python or any programming language is better for writing programs than a natural language like English. One problem with natural languages is that they are *ambiguous. Hence, not everyone will interpret the same phrase the same way. To program computers, it is important that we know exactly what our programs mean, and that the computer will run them with the meaning we intended. SHARE WITH YOURS CODING FRIENDS Another problem with natural language is that they are very verbose. To say something with the level of precision needed for a computer to be able to follow it mechanically would require an awful lot of writing. We want our programs to be short so it is less work to write them, and so that it is easier to read and understand them
