It should come as no surprise to most that Google launched their own programming language. The company has been moving aggressively into practically every technological sector imaginable — and more often than not, they end up revolutionizing the sector they’re looking to develop. It’s now been over a decade since Go entered production, and while it might not have the install base of languages like Python and JavaScript yet, Google’s proprietary language has a lot to offer. Here’s everything you need to consider before you decide to pick up this language.Pro: ease of useWhile Go might not be as popular as JavaScript or Python, it does have one important thing in common with them: it’s eminently easy to understand. The syntax is clean and accessible to newcomers, and there aren’t a lot of (...)

Twenty-five years after its creation, Java is still the most popular programming language according to the latest TIOBE index. Who would have thought that the language invented by Sun would have such a destiny when it was created in 1995?Today, knowing how to program in Java language has become almost indispensable. Why? Simply because the language that now belongs to Oracle allows you to do everything. It is thus possible to create desktop applications, Web applications or mobile applications via Android, which is crushing the smartphone market. The question of the need to learn Java does not therefore arise in 2019.Books to learn Java are numerous and it is therefore very difficult to find your way around such an important choice. In addition, the Java language has evolved a lot since (...)

Disclaimer: This is completely my personal opinion and derived from my personal experiences. Feel free to share any thoughts.I still remember in 2013, I started learning my first programming language in C++, wrote my first “Hello World”, and was excited like a little kid. Now that I have been programming professionally and fortunate enough to work with many different technologies, I have gathered some thoughts on my personal top 5 languages that people should learn in 2019. So, if you are new to the coding world, I recommend these languages.With that said, let’s get right into the first programming language on my list:PythonMany developers love #python and I’m sure most professional programmers have done some coding in Python at least once in his/her career.

Creating Custom Operators in #swift ☕

Create clear, concise, and occasionally entertaining code using custom operators.When I first came across Swift code that contained custom operators I immediately dismissed them as just another one of those advanced language features that the average tinkerer like myself would never have a need for. However, after I ended up using them as a very basic package example in an earlier post, I’ve decided that in addition to being convenient they can also make your code more readable, even when using non-standard operators.What are Operators?Taken straight from Wikipedia:(Operators are) constructs which behave generally like functions, but which differ syntactically or semantically from usual functions.If you’ve done any #programming you’ve used operators. You’re probably familiar with the (...)

How inheritance in Typescript actually works behind the curtain?Typescript and #javascript are both awesome languages. To a lot of developers Typescript feels more familiar because it offers concepts we normally encounter in traditional #programming languages. Inheritance is one of them.Due to backwards compatibility we generally transpile our code to Javascript. ES5 itself doesn’t contain classes nor an extend keyword.So how does this work then? Typescript uses syntactic sugar to “mimic” the class and inheritance behaviour. It creates kind of an illusion of those concepts. Let’s see what I mean by that.In this blogpost we will dive deep. On our way we will encounter a lot of concepts. It is important to wrap your head around those concepts. Take your time and make some breaks if necessary. You (...)

About a boyIt was over decade ago… I decided to become a real boyprogrammer. I looked for a language that was ‘mine’, tried some of them.Once I tried Java and fell in love with it! Then later I coded like mad permanently and my developer skills grew rapidly. I’ve been learning 10 to 18 hours every bloody day…Well, I got my first job, and then second… and I never stopped my intensive learning. As a consequence, I turned into Java Senior Developer pretty fast. I reached my goal.I was happy but… not completely. It seemed there was a piece of my self-fulfillment puzzle I’d missed.I looked for it and you know what. I did find it in my parents’ cup of tea. Teaching! Now I guess I inherited the teacher’s gene.Say, the industry needs new programmers and new programmers need teachers among the pro (...)

Please welcome our weekly sponsor Pusher to Hacker Noon! Pusher makes realtime APIs that enable developers all around the world to quickly add communication and collaboration features to their apps. Their core product enables developers to easily create features like in-app notifications, activity streams, real-time dashboards, live trackers and much more.Today we’re going to catch up with the Pusher Developer Evangelist Zan Markan, to discuss the state of Kotlin, what drives him to do what he does, andDavid: Lets start with the State of Kotlin. You recently ran a Kotlin survey of (more about the nuts and bolts here). You surveyed 2,744 people from January to March 2018 to take the pulse of the ecosystem. What results defied your assumptions? What results confirmed your assumptions? And (...)

Demystified with a jargon-free exploration.(source: pexels.com)Often we hear, learn, and even use terms or phrases that we don’t fully understand. I find this to be quite common within the software development community, whether is be RESTful Web APIs, Agile methodology, Machine Learning, or some other term. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s important to understand when you truly know something and when you just know the name for it.For me, Systems Programming is one such term. I’d like to try and explain, using simple language, what this means.What is a System?Before we can understand what Systems Programming entails, we first need to understand what a System is. Software tends to fall into one of two camps, system software and application software.System software is computer (...)

Photo by bruce mars on UnsplashThis million dollar question is very frequently asked to/by programmers. Most of the programmers asked or think of this question at least once in their lifetime. If you are a newbie and ask this question to someone who is already regarded as a programmer, you’d definitely get an answer. Then you ask this to some other programmer, s/he might give you a different answer. If you ask this in a programmers group or forum, you’d be blown away by the suggestions. Now you have another question on top of the previous one, “who is right?”There are so many options: C, C++, Java, Go, JavaScript(would Oracle sue me for using it in this article?), PHP and so on. Hardcore fans of the languages always argue why their one is better and others one sucks. If you search google (...)
