How do people become professional programmers? Many people go the "traditional" path through a computer science or software engineering education and from there into professional programming work.
iSGTW is an international, weekly, on-line science-computing newsletter that shows the importance of distributed computing, grid computing, cloud computing and high-performance computing. It does so by reporting about the people and projects involved in these fields, and how these types of computing technologies are being applied to make scientific advances.
Technically speaking, REBOL is an advanced language that gains its advantage through lightweight domain-specific sublanguages and micro-formats. REBOL introduces the concept of dialecting: small, efficient, domain languages for code, data, and metadata.
"Five-day weeks of eight-hour days maximize long-term output in every industry that has been studied over the past century. What makes us think that our [IT] industry is somehow exempt from this rule?"
Disclaimer: this post is sort of a motivating post for students. Professional programmers may find it uninteresting or painful (especially if you code in C# or Java or JavaScript). C++ is the hardest…
