Swift is a modern programming language that made its first appearance in June 2014. • Powerful • Intuitive • Interactive • Fun • Concise • Expressive How Swift is used in the industry? • iOS • OS X • tvOS • WatchOS • IBM • Android? • Facebook? Choosing Swift as your first programing language. • Why do “YOU” want to program? • Time commitment • Learning curve • Life style • Focus Cons Swift Pros • It doesn't do everything • Swift is easier to read and Objective-C does write • You need to know Objective- • Swift can result in shorter C to debug the code/ overall code length framework • Swift has some clever tricks • Since, the language is new up its sleeve the pool of Swift developers is very limited. The job market for Swift developers Questions? Scott Baumbich, Swift Developer @ScottBaumbich Scott-Baumbich [email protected] SBaumbich Ruby, Rails & my coding journey Nicole Lopez About Me ● Ruby on Rails engineer at Avant ● Majored in Arabic Language and Literature ● Worked in Immigration for 4 years ● Learned to code through the internet and Meetup groups ● Started learning with HTML, CSS, Sass, and then Python, Javascript, and eventually Ruby and Rails ● Started from the front end now I’m here How I Learned... Online ● Coursera -- Introduction to Programming with Python ● Codecademy -- HTML and CSS Meetups ● Girl Develop It -- Sass and Javascript ● Railsbridge -- Intro to Rails ● Chicago Women Developers -- Basic bash, Ruby Side Projects & Tutorials Ruby What is Ruby? A programming language…. … a “dynamic, reflective, object-oriented, general-purpose programming language” Ruby’s methods and object types are dynamically determined at runtime rather than compile time. Ruby uses reflection to modify its own structure and behavior at runtime (think But what does metaprogramming). Follows an object-oriented that mean? programming paradigm. In Ruby, everything is an object. Designed for general purpose use across a wide variety of application domains. Why Ruby? Accessible, flexible, friendly community, and overall FUN "I hope to see Ruby help every programmer in the world to be productive, and to enjoy programming, and to be happy. That is the primary purpose of Ruby language." - Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto, creator of Ruby pictured >> ● Low barrier of entry to learn Ruby PROS ● Easy variable and method definitions without static typing Ruby is ACCESSIBLE ● Takes care of memory allocation & garbage collection so you don’t have to ● Reads like English ● Great documentation ● Gems are plentiful Simple code leveraging the power of Gems ● Can write the same thing many different PROS ways ● Object-Oriented by nature Ruby is FLEXIBLE ● Duck-typing -- if it acts like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck ● Metaprogramming -- can write code that writes more code Can also define this array with Array.new(...) or [“hearts, “diamonds”] Flexibility & brevity of metaprogramming The Deck object holds many Card objects, keeping Deck & Card logic separate. Reads like English ● Metaprogramming -- is a blessing and a CONS curse ● Not great for concurrency or high With great power comes performance with real-time data great responsibility. ● Flexibility allows people to be too clever ● No strong typing allows for mysterious bugs ● Easy to depend on gems…. Which may not always be 100% reliable or documented Rails What is Rails? An opinionated Model View Controller (MVC) framework written in Ruby that favors convention over configuration. ● Speed of app development ○ rails generate … commands PROS ○ rake commands (ruby make) ● Great documentation -- many tutorials ● Tons of features out of the box ○ Database, ORM ○ Server with Rack middleware ○ RESTful routing ○ Web pages with built in templating helpers ○ Mailer, Job processor ○ Test framework ● Tons of gems optimized for rails What you’d see at localhost:3000 when booting up a blank Rails app Accessible documentation across experience levels Helpful Errors ● For beginners, easy to confuse what’s CONS from ruby and what’s from rails ● Rails handles a lot of set-up and configuration from you -- to learn more, you’ll need to dig deeper ● The concept of models in rails can lead to problematic architecture with tight coupling between business logic and objects stored in the database ● Not performant at scale for same reasons Ruby isn’t performant at scale Opportunities in Ruby on Rails Many companies use Rails including Github, Tons of Airbnb, Soundcloud, Avant, Enova, opportunities for Basecamp, Reverb… the list goes on. Ruby and Rails 83 Ruby opportunities listed on Built in devs Chicago’s job page Rails lends itself to rapid development, so is a language used by many start ups. Main Takeaways ● Ruby is a great first language for beginners interested in building web apps, and Rails is a great first framework to learn. ● Rails is a great framework to use to get your app up and running fast. ● Don’t stop learning at Ruby on Rails. Keep digging beneath the surface to further your knowledge! ● There are tons of job opportunities for Ruby and Rails developers. Questions?

  • Downloads in 2017 Exceeded 178 Billion and Is Expected to Grow by 45% in 2020
    Chapter 04 Teaching Mobile App Development in a Mass Communication Program by Cindy Royal, Ph.D. For the past two decades, I have taught web design and development courses to journalism and mass communication students. These courses began with covering Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and web animations and have now progressed to include responsive design techniques, front-end frameworks, and customizing content management systems. In 2014, I began teaching a more advanced web development course focused on interactive coding and data visualization. This course introduced JavaScript and charting libraries and presented students with techniques supporting interaction and user-experience design. For years, I had avoided moving into the mobile application space. I had invested a lot of time learning web technologies. I believed in the open Internet and the ability to publish online without the constraint of distribution through application stores. I thought that the mobile application development environment introduced a level of complexity that was beyond the scope of our curriculum. Eventually, I came around to the realization that it was time to introduce students to the ways in which mobile applications are made. The mobile application environment began to grow with the introduction of smartphones in the mid-2000s. In January 2018, 77% of Americans used a smartphone, but for young people aged 18-29, the percentage was 94% [3]. The total number of mobile application downloads in 2017 exceeded 178 billion and is expected to grow by 45% in 2020. [9]. The two most popular application stores, Google Play and the Apple App Store, housed 3.8 million and 2 million apps respectively in 2018 [8].

  • Programming Language Use in US Academia and Industry
    Informatics in Education, 2015, Vol. 14, No. 2, 143–160 143 © 2015 Vilnius University DOI: 10.15388/infedu.2015.09 Programming Language Use in US Academia and Industry Latifa BEN ARFA RABAI1, Barry COHEN2, Ali MILI2 1 Institut Superieur de Gestion, Bardo, 2000, Tunisia 2 CCS, NJIT, Newark NJ 07102-1982 USA e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received: July 2014 Abstract. In the same way that natural languages influence and shape the way we think, program- ming languages have a profound impact on the way a programmer analyzes a problem and formu- lates its solution in the form of a program. To the extent that a first programming course is likely to determine the student’s approach to program design, program analysis, and programming meth- odology, the choice of the programming language used in the first programming course is likely to be very important. In this paper, we report on a recent survey we conducted on programming language use in US academic institutions, and discuss the significance of our data by comparison with programming language use in industry. Keywords: programming language use, academic institution, academic trends, programming lan- guage evolution, programming language adoption. 1. Introduction: Programming Language Adoption The process by which organizations and individuals adopt technology trends is complex, as it involves many diverse factors; it is also paradoxical and counter-intuitive, hence difficult to model (Clements, 2006; Warren, 2006; John C, 2006; Leo and Rabkin, 2013; Geoffrey, 2002; Geoffrey, 2002a; Yi, Li and Mili, 2007; Stephen, 2006). This general observation applies to programming languages in particular, where many carefully de- signed languages that have superior technical attributes fail to be widely adopted, while languages that start with modest ambitions and limited scope go on to be widely used in industry and in academia.
