Functional programming languages will have a place in general application development when we can read their code at a glance Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know functional programming is ...

Ever wondered why programming in Bash is so difficult? Bash employs the same constructs as traditional programming languages; however, under the hood, the logic is rather different. The Bourne-Again ...

In Part 1 of this three-part series on aspect-oriented programming (AOP), I introduced AOP concepts and briefly gave AOP implementation examples. Continuing that trend in this article, I present a ...

Does the world need a new beginner’s programming language? In the 1960s, BASIC, FORTRAN, LISP and ALGOL were the primary introductory programming languages. In the 1970s and 1980s, Pascal, C, ...

Algorithms are step-by-step plans for solving problems. They can be designed using pseudo-code and flowcharts. Searching and sorting algorithms - AQA Sorting and searching are two of the most ...

Computers can be used to help solve problems. However, before a problem can be tackled, it must first be understood. Computational thinking helps us to solve problems. Designing, creating and refining ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) have emerged as a transformative tool for expressing complex statistical models and automating inference procedures. By integrating probability theory into ...
