• A Guide to Programming Foundations
• Your Name/Organization • Date What Are Coding Languages? • Definition: Communicating with computers • Purpose: Writing instructions • Examples: Python, Java, C++ History of Coding Languages • Evolution from machine code to high-level languages • Key milestones: Fortran (1957), Java (1995) Types of Coding Languages • High-Level: Python, Java • Low-Level: Assembly, Machine Code • Scripting: JavaScript, Ruby Compiled vs. Interpreted Languages • Compiled: C++, Java • Interpreted: Python, JavaScript • Differences in execution Popular Coding Languages Today • Top 2024 languages: Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, C++ • Brief descriptions of each Python • Easy to learn • Used in AI, ML, web development • Example code snippet: print('Hello, World!') JavaScript • Frontend and backend development • Key framework: Node.js • Example: console.log('Hello, World!') Java • Object-oriented • Enterprise apps, Android development • Example: System.out.println('Hello, World!') C++ • High performance • Applications: Games, system software • Example: std::cout << 'Hello, World!'; C# • Common in game development (Unity) • Integration with Microsoft platforms • Example: Console.WriteLine('Hello, World!'); Ruby • Known for simplicity and productivity • Popular in web development (Ruby on Rails) • Example: puts 'Hello, World!' PHP • Backend web development • Popular in WordPress • Example: echo 'Hello, World!'; Swift • Primary language for iOS development • Fast and expressive • Example: print('Hello, World!') Go (Golang) • Developed by Google • Lightweight, ideal for cloud-based solutions • Example: fmt.Println('Hello, World!') Rust • Memory safety and performance • Ideal for systems programming • Example: println!("Hello, World!"); R and MATLAB • R: Statistical computing and visualization • MATLAB: Engineering and numerical computation Use Cases of Coding Languages • Web: HTML, CSS, JS, PHP • Games: C++, C# • ML: Python, R • Mobile: Swift, Java Choosing the Right Language • Consider: Project purpose • Performance needs • Ease of learning Career Opportunities • Frontend Developer • Backend Developer • Data Scientist • Software Engineer • Game Developer Learning Resources • Free: Codecademy, FreeCodeCamp • Courses: Udemy, Coursera • Documentation and forums Trends in Programming • AI and ML: Python • Cloud: Go, Java • Blockchain: Solidity Challenges in Coding • Debugging and troubleshooting • Keeping up with trends • Code efficiency Future of Coding Languages • AI-driven tools: GitHub Copilot • User-friendly languages • Quantum computing languages Closing Slide • Recap of key points • Encouragement to start learning • Contact information/questions
