Goal Expose new programmers to different programming languages
Agenda 1. What’s a Programming Language 2. Language Tour a.
Ruby b. PHP c. Java d. C 3. Next Steps
What’s a Programming Language
Programming Languages • Formal way to communicate instructions to a
machine • Standard is “Turing Completeness” • Each language has its own strengths, weaknesses, and idiosyncrasies
Turing Completeness Complete: • Ruby • Javascript Incomplete: • HTML
• CSS
Some Differences • Syntax • Interpreted vs. Compiled • Typing
• Paradigms
Syntax Source: LearnXinYminutes.com
Interpreted vs. Compiled
Typing Strong vs. Weak 10 + “10” • Ruby: Error
• Javascript: “1010” • PHP: 20 Dynamic vs. Static i = “hello” Do we have to explicitly specify that “i” is a string?
Paradigms • Machine Code • Procedural • Object-Oriented “Higher Level”
Language Tour
Section Languages: • Ruby • PHP • Java • C
Covering: • Basics • Where it’s used • Culture
Ruby (1995) • Interpreted • Object-Oriented • Strong-typed, Dynamic •
Everything is a class! • Emphasizes humans over computers http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/ruby/
Who Uses Ruby
Ruby Culture
PHP (1995) • Interpreted • General Purpose / Object- Oriented
• Weak-Typed and Dynamic • There’s a function for everything http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/php/
Who Uses PHP
PHP Culture
Java (1995) • Compiled • Strong-Typed and Static • “Write
Once, Run Anywhere” • Robust, Secure, Concurrent • Most-used language in the world http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/java/
Who Uses Java
Java Culture
C (1972) • Compiled • Strong-Typed and Static • Procedural
(low-level) • Manual memory management • Second most-used language http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/c/
Who Uses C
C Culture
Next Steps
Programming Advice • Learn to Learn • Ask Questions •
Build projects • Don’t be intimidated
A word on imposter syndrome • There’s a lot you
can know • You only need a subset to build something that people love • It helps to understand what’s out there - curiosity is good; being intimidated is bad
