Do any of the coding languages update?

Question

Hello everyone. I want to start learning programming languages as i believe fifteen is a good age to start. As with everyone who starts up i have a few questions. Please dont direct anger towards me as you may be a professional in this industry and i am not i am only looking for advice. Thanks.

Q1) Do any of the programming languages update? so you have to learn more lines of code.

Q2) Can you share any online resources that helped you in this field? E.g good websites and Tutorials.

Q3) Can you name me the programming languages to do with web devolpment and the languages to do with phone development.

Q4) Is HTML an easy language to learn?

Q5) Can you tell me which programming language goes with which? E.g HTML and CSS

Q6) What was the first program you learnt and why?

I would appreciate if you could answer all the questions in great deal if you can thanks alot.

1: languages do update, there are sometimes new things in it but their not always something you need to worry about too much.



2: http://www.w3schools.com is a great place to learn HTML, CSS, Javascript and other web programming languages all those can be typed in notepad, but other programs exist which can help speed the process up, Dreamweaver is a good one but you could find free ones around the web.

I bought myself the biggest book I could find on HTML4 (about 12 years ago) to learn from and that taught me everything about creating pages and uploading to servers etc.



3: HTML is the start, because all web pages are written using it, even if a site is coded in PHP it needs to output HTML in order to work in a web browser.

Once you have learnt a bit about web page development you could move onto Java which is used for web pages and phone apps as well as games.



4: Very



5: HTML is the language, CSS is slightly different but is embedded within HTML, and so is javascript but that is used to give pages more functionality and some kind of dynamic content, AJAX is a mix of HTML & javascript which you'll no doubt look into later on.

Moving on from HTML you would maybe want to look at learning PHP & mySQL to make sites with less 'static' pages.



6: I learnt HTML, moved onto PHP soon after and also dabbled a bit with Flash animation. since then I've done all sorts of stuff, 3D, graphic design, c++ and a lot I've forgotten about :)



The adventure never ends with coding :p

1) Any programming language in active use has its syntax updated periodically. This can cause new keywords to be created and cause existing ones to become depreciated or even dropped altogether. However, this doesn't happen frequently and most changes are fairly minor. For example, COBOL has been around for over 50 years and has only gone thru a handful of major updates, the most recent in 2002.



2) Mine would tend to be COBOL-centric, as that has been the majority of my 35+ years in the field, however w3schools is a good starting place for a beginner. In particular, learn SQL since that is a skill you'll likely need regardless of what programming language you wind up using.



3) Much of the web development these days tends to be PHP or AJAX. You'll also need to be familiar with at least basic HTML, naturally. I'm less familiar with phone apps, but I believe much of it is in C++ or C#.



4) The basics are pretty straightforward. The more advanced functionality gets trickier, especially when content is made dynamic via the aforementioned PHP/AJAX.



5) An exhaustive list would take a while...perhaps a little more context?



6) I cut my teeth on BASIC and TUTOR, moving onto PL/1, FORTRAN and COBOL shortly after. Over the years, I've also dabbled with Java, HTML, C++ and various scripting languages (VBA, PL/SQL, T-SQL, etc.) I'm currently learning BML, a Java-like proprietary language of BigMachines Inc.

Answer 3

Q1) Yes. You can look at theri websites to find out the latest versions and their corresponding documentation. Often they include legacy support so that code written for earlier versions will keep working, but this is not always the case.



Q2) Yes, but not until I know what language you're working with and where you stand with it at the moment.



Q3) Web development takes HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, SQL, and possibly Actionscript 3, ASP and Ruby on Rails. Development for smartphones depends on the platform, for instance iphones use mostly Objective-C and Android phones use mostly Java.



Q4) Yes.



Q5) There are too many to list them all, and their relationships are sometimes fairly complicated.



Q6) Excel 4.0, because it's what was available to me and what my mentor (who was not a professional programmer) was familiar with.

Answer 4

good points of the well known 8051 comprise geared up-in reset timers with brown-out detection, on-chip oscillators, self-programmable Flash ROM application reminiscence, geared up-in exterior RAM, extra inner application storage, bootloader code in ROM, EEPROM non-volatile archives storage, I²C, SPI, and USB host interfaces, CAN or LIN bus, PWM turbines, analog comparators, A/D and D/A converters, RTCs, extra counters and timers, in-circuit debugging centers, extra interrupt materials, and extra potential saving modes. What element of the 8051 are you bearing on via "code locking equipment"? Do you advise a thank you to flash the EEPROM?
