Programming Skills: a Look Back to Peer Into the Future Programming Skills: A look back to peer into the future. Pete Massiello iTech Solutions [email protected] Twitter: PeteM59 1 Prehistory • The first Programming languages predate the computer. • Languages were codes • 1890 Herman Hollerith – Census data Early programming When do we start? • The Analytical Engine, an important step in the history of computers, is a design for a mechanical general-purpose computer first described by English mathematician Charles Babbage in 1837. It was the successor to Babbage's difference engine, a design for a mechanical calculator. The Analytical Engine incorporated an arithmetical unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first Turing-complete design for a general-purpose computer. • Programming supposed to be by punch cards. Analytical Engine: Built 63 years later ENIAC • Designed in 1942 General-purpose Electronic computer • Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC). • Enormous speed advantage by using digital electronics with no moving parts. • Called Project-PX as its code name. • Started in 1943, completed in 1946 costing $500,000 ( $6,000,000 in 2010 dollars). • Designed to calculate artillery firing tables for the Army. • First project was computations for the hydrogen bomb. • Decimal based. Programming the ENIAC Operating ENIACs main control panel EDVAC • Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer • Binary serial computer with automatic addition, subtraction, multiplication, programmed division and automatic checking with an ultrasonic serial memory. • Capacity of 1,000 44-bit words, later set to 1,024 words: 5.5KB • 6,000 vacuum tubes, 12,000 diodes, consumed 56kW of power, and covered 490 Sq. Ft. Weighed 17,300 pounds. • Designed 1946 built and operational 1949. • Magnetic tape (Wire recorder). EDVAC What is a Programming Language • A programming language is an artificial language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine and/or to express algorithms precisely. • The earliest programming languages predate the invention of the computer, and were used to direct the behavior of machines such as Jacquard looms and player pianos. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, with many more being created every year. Most programming languages describe computation in an imperative style, i.e., as a sequence of commands, although some languages, such as those that support functional programming or logic programming, use alternative forms of description.

  • Coffeescript Accelerated Javascript Development.Pdf
    Download from Wow! eBook <www.wowebook.com> What readers are saying about CoffeeScript: Accelerated JavaScript Development It’s hard to imagine a new web application today that doesn’t make heavy use of JavaScript, but if you’re used to something like Ruby, it feels like a significant step down to deal with JavaScript, more of a chore than a joy. Enter CoffeeScript: a pre-compiler that removes all the unnecessary verbosity of JavaScript and simply makes it a pleasure to write and read. Go, go, Coffee! This book is a great introduction to the world of CoffeeScript. ➤ David Heinemeier Hansson Creator, Rails Just like CoffeeScript itself, Trevor gets straight to the point and shows you the benefits of CoffeeScript and how to write concise, clear CoffeeScript code. ➤ Scott Leberknight Chief Architect, Near Infinity Though CoffeeScript is a new language, you can already find it almost everywhere. This book will show you just how powerful and fun CoffeeScript can be. ➤ Stan Angeloff Managing Director, PSP WebTech Bulgaria Download from Wow! eBook <www.wowebook.com> This book helps readers become better JavaScripters in the process of learning CoffeeScript. What’s more, it’s a blast to read, especially if you are new to Coffee- Script and ready to learn. ➤ Brendan Eich Creator, JavaScript CoffeeScript may turn out to be one of the great innovations in web application development; since I first discovered it, I’ve never had to write a line of pure JavaScript. I hope the readers of this wonderful book will be able to say the same. ➤ Dr. Nic Williams CEO/Founder, Mocra CoffeeScript: Accelerated JavaScript Development is an excellent guide to Coffee- Script from one of the community’s most esteemed members.

  • The UCSD P-System STATUT ORIL Y EX E:M PT
    DOCfi!D(ov~ by NSA on 12-01-2011, Transparency Case# 5335]UNCLASSIFIED The UCSD p-System STATUT ORIL Y EX E:M PT This paper discusses the UCSD p-System, an operating system for small computers developed at the University of California at San Diego. The discussion includes the overall system, file managing, editing, and programming in Pascal on the system. INTRODUCTION The UCSD p-System was developed at the University of California at San Diego to support Pascal programming on microcomputers. Similar to MS-DOS, the p-System is an operating system for small computers but is, in many ways, very different. The p-System is written in Pascal and now supports not only Pascal, but also FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, and Modula-2. The concept was to have an operating system that, once it was implemented on a machine, allowed any program written under that operating system to be truly transportable from computer to computer. That is to say, the p-System compiler would not actually translate the program into a language that was specific for, say, an 8088 chip on the IBM-PC, but rather would translate it into a "pseudo" language that, when used with an operating system designed for the PC, would run correctly. Similarly, if the operating system were implemented on a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) computer, this same pseudo code would still work properly with no modifications. The particular version of UCSD p-System tested was written for the IBM-PC and requires two single-sided double-density disk drives and at least 128K of memory.

  • A FORTRAN 77 Program for a Nonparametric Item Response Model: the Mokken Scale Analysis
    BehaviorResearch Methods, Instruments, & Computers 1988, 20 (5), 471-480 A FORTRAN 77 program for a nonparametric item response model: The Mokken scale analysis JOHANNES KINGMA University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah and TERRY TAERUM University ofAlberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada A nonparametric item response theory model-the Mokken scale analysis (a stochastic elabo­ ration of the deterministic Guttman scale}-and a computer program that performs this analysis are described. Three procedures of scaling are distinguished: a search procedure, an evaluation of the whole set of items, and an extension of an existing scale. All procedures provide a coeffi­ cient of scalability for all items that meet the criteria of the Mokken model and an item coeffi­ cient of scalability for every item. Four different types of reliability coefficient are computed both for the entire set of items and for the scalable items. A test of robustness of the found scale can be performed to analyze whether the scale is invariant across different subgroups or samples. This robustness test serves as a goodness offit test for the established scale. The program is writ­ ten in FORTRAN 77. Two versions are available, an SPSS-X procedure program (which can be used with the SPSS-X mainframe package) and a stand-alone program suitable for both main­ frame and microcomputers. The Mokken scale model is a stochastic elaboration of which both mainframe and MS-DOS versions are avail­ the well-known deterministic Guttman scale (Mokken, able. These programs, both named Mokscal, perform the 1971; Mokken & Lewis, 1982; Mokken, Lewis, & Mokken scale analysis. Before presenting a review of the Sytsma, 1986).

  • Scaling a Content Delivery System for Open Source Software
    Scaling a Content Delivery system for Open Source Software Niklas Edmundsson May 25, 2015 Master’s Thesis in Computing Science, 30 credits Supervisor at CS-UmU: Per-Olov Ostberg¨ Examiner: Fredrik Georgsson Ume˚a University Department of Computing Science SE-901 87 UMEA˚ SWEDEN Abstract This master’s thesis addresses scaling of content distribution sites. In a case study, the thesis investigates issues encountered on ftp.acc.umu.se,acontentdistributionsiterun by the Academic Computer Club (ACC) of Ume˚aUniversity. Thissiteischaracterized by the unusual situation of the external network connectivity having higher bandwidth than the components of the system, which differs from the norm of the external con- nectivity being the limiting factor. To address this imbalance, a caching approach is proposed to architect a system that is able to fully utilize the available network capac- ity, while still providing a homogeneous resource to the end user. A set of modifications are made to standard open source solutions to make caching perform as required, and results from production deployment of the system are evaluated. In addition, time se- ries analysis and forecasting techniques are introduced as tools to improve the system further, resulting in the implementation of a method to automatically detect bursts and handle load distribution of unusually popular files.
