( Being a Programmer MORE THAN CODE For those of you old enough to remember the ‘80s, the golden era of home computing, the world of computing was a very different scene to how it is today. 8-bit computers that you could purchase as a whole, as opposed to being in kit form and you having to solder the parts together, were the stuff of dreams; and getting your hands on one was sheer bliss contained within a large plastic box. However, it wasn’t so much the new technology that computers then offered, moreover it was the Fact that For the first time ever, you could control what was being viewed on the ‘television’. Instead of simply playing one of the thousands of games available at the time, many users decided they wanted to create their own content, their own games; or simply something that could help them with their homework or home finances. The simplicity of the 8-bit home computer meant that creating something from a few lines of BASIC code was achievable and so the First generation of home-bred programmer was born. From that point on, programming expanded exponentially. It wasn’t long before the bedroom coder was a thing of the past and huge teams of designers, coders, artists and musicians were involved in making a single game. This of course led to the programmer becoming more than simply someone who could Fashion a sprite on the screen and make it move at the press of a key. Naturally, time has moved on and with it the technology that we use. However, the Fundamentals of programming remain the same; but what exactly does it take to be a programmer? The single most common trait of any programmer, regardless ofwhat they're doing, is the ability to see a logical pattern. By this we mean someone who can logically Follow something From start to Finish and envisage the intended outcome. While you may not Feel you're such a person, it is possible to train your brain into this way of thinking. Yes, it takes time but once you start to think in this particular way you will be able to construct and Follow code. Second to logic is an understanding of mathematics. You don’t have to be at a genius level but you do need to understand the rudiments of maths. Maths is all about being able to solve a problem and code mostly falls under the umbrella of mathematics. Being able to see the big picture is certainly beneficial for the modern programmer. Undoubtedly, as a programmer, you will be part of a team of other programmers, and more than likely part of an even bigger team of designers, all of whom are creating a Final product. While you may only be expected to create a small element of that final product, being able to understand what everyone else is doing will help you create something that’s ultimately better than simply being locked in your own coding cubicle. Finally, there’s also a level of creativity needed to be a good programmer. Again though, you don’t need to be a creative genius, just have the imagination to be able to see the end product and how the user will interact with it. There is of course a lot more involved in being a programmer, including learning the actual code itself. However, with time, patience and the determination to learn, anyone can become a programmer. Whether you want to be part of a triple-A video game team or simply create an automated routine to make your computing life easier, it’s up to you how Far to take your coding adventure! www.bdmpublications.com

a acetal nem 18) A Brief History of Coding It's easy to think that programming a machine to automate a process or calculate a value is amodern concept that’s only really happened in the last Fifty years or so. However, that assumption is quite wrong, coding has actually been around for quite some time. 01000011 01101111 01100100 01100101 Essentially all forms of coding are made up of ones and zeros, on or off states. This works for a modern computer and even the oldest known computational device. * e * ° e It's difficult to pinpoint an exact start ofwhen humans began to ‘program’ a device. However, it's widely accepted that the Antikythera Mechanism is possibly the First ‘coded’ artefact. It's dated to about 87 BC and is an ancient Greek analogue computer and orrery used to predict astronomical positions. Joseph Marie Jacquard invents a programmable loom, which used cards with punched holes to create the textile design. However, it is thought that he based his design on a previous automated weaving process From 1725, by Basile Bouchon. Ada Lovelace translated the memoirs of the Italian mathematician, Francis Maneclang, regarding Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine. She Made copious notes within her writing, detailing a method of calculating Bernoulli Numbers using the engine. This is recognised as the First computer program. Not bad, considering there were no computers available at the time. fA ig9° The Band Misa brothers, three Persian scholars who worked in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, published the Book of Ingenious Devices in around 850 AD. Among the inventions listed was a mechanical musical instrument, a hydro-powered organ that played interchangeable cylinders automatically. if www.bdmpublications.com

| SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is a standard language for accessing and manipulating databases. Although SQL is an ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard, there are different versions of the SQL language. However, to be compliant, they all support at least the major commands such as Select, Update and Delete in a similar manner. JavaScript (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with First class functions. JavaScript runs on the client side of the web, that can be used to design or program how the web pages behave on the occurrence of an event. JavaScript is an easy to learn and also powerful scripting language, widely used for controlling web page behaviour. Java is the foundation for virtually every type of networked application and is the global standard for developing enterprise software, web-based content, games and mobile apps. The two main components of the Java platform are the Java Application Programming InterFace (API) and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that translates Java code into machine language.Java C# is an elegant object-oriented language that enables developers to build a variety of secure and robust applications that run on the .NET Framework. You can use C# to create Windows client applications, XMLWeb services, client server applications, database applications and much more. The curly-brace syntax of C# will be instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with C, C++ or Java. Python is a widely used high level programming language used For general purpose programming, created by Guido van Rossum and First released in 1991. An interpreted language, Python has a design philosophy that emphasises code readability and a syntax that allows programmers py on to express concepts in Fewer lines of code. This can make it easier for new programmers to learn. C++ (pronounced cee plus plus) is a general purpose programming language. It has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features. It was designed with a bias toward system programming and embedded, resource-constrained and large systems, with performance, efficiency and flexibility of use.as its design highlights. Ruby is a language of careful balance. Its creator, Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto, blended parts of his Favourite languages (Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada and Lisp) to Form a new language. From its release in 1995, Ruby has drawn devoted coders worldwide. Ruby is seen as a flexible language; essential parts of Ruby can be removed or redefined, at will. Existing parts can be added to. |] Perlis a general purpose programming language, used For a wide range of tasks including system administration, web development, network programming, GUI development and more. Its major features are that it’s easy to use, supports both procedural and object-oriented (OO) programming, has powerful built-in support for text processing and has one of the most impressive collections of third-party modules. | Swift is a powerful and intuitive programming language for macOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS. Writing Swift code is interactive and fun; the syntax is concise yet expressive and Swift includes modern Features that developers love. Swift code is safe by design, yet also produces software that runs lightning Fast. A coding tutorial app, Swift Playgrounds, is available for the iPad. www.bdmpublications.com

OPERATING SYSTEMS Windows 10 is the most widely used operating system in the world, so it’s natural that the vast majority of coding tools are written For Microsoft’s leading operating system. However, dor’t discount macOS and especially Linux. macOS users enjoy an equal number of coding tools to their Windows counterparts. In Fact, you will probably Find that a lot of professional coders use a Mac over a PC, simply because of the fact that the Mac operating system is built on top of Unix (the command-line OS that powers much of the world’s filesystems and servers). This Unix layer lets you test programs in almost any language without using a specialised IDE. However, Linux is, by Far and away, one of the most popular and important coding operating systems available. Not only does it have a Unix-like backbone, it’s also free to download, install and use and comes with most of the tools necessary to start learning how to code. Linux powers most of the servers that make up the Internet. It’s used on nearly all of the top supercomputers, as well as specifically in organisations such as NASA, CERN and the military, it also forms the base of Android-powered devices, smart TVs and in-car systems. Linux, as a coding platform, is an excellent idea and it can be installed inside a virtual machine without ever affecting the installation ofWindows or macOS. THE RASPBERRY PI IF you haven't already heard of the Raspberry Pi, then we suggest you head over to www.raspberrypi.org and check it out. In short, the Raspberry Pi is a small, Fully Functional computer. It comes with its own customised, Linux-based operating system that's pre-installed with everything you need to start learning how to code in Python, C++, Scratch and more. Costing around £35, it’s incredibly cheap and allows you to utilise different hardware, in the Form of robotics and electronics projects, as well as offering a complete desktop experience. Although not the most powerful computing device in the world, the Raspberry Pi has a lot going For it, especially in terms of being one of the best coding platforms available. (Creating a Coding Platform VIRTUAL MACHINES Avirtual machine is a piece of software that allows you to install a fullyworking operating system within the confines of the software itself. The installed OS will allocate user-defined resources from the host computer, providing memory, hard drive space etc., as well as sharing the host computer's Internet connection. The advantage of a virtual machine is that you can work with Linux, for example, without it affecting your currently installed host OS. This means that you can have Windows 10 running and launch your virtual machine client, boot into Linux and use all the functionality of Linux, while still being able to use Windows. This, of course, makes it a fantastic coding platform, as you can have different installations of operating systems running From the host computer while using different coding languages. You can test your code without Fear of breaking your host OS and it’s easy to return to a previous configuration withoutthe : need to reinstall everything again. Virtualisation is the key to most big companies now. You will probably Find, rather than having a single server with an installation ofWindows Server, for example, the IT team have instead opted for a virtualised environment whereby each Windows Server instance is a virtual machine running from several powerful machines. This cuts down on the number of physical machines, allows the team to better manage resources and enables them to deploy an entire server dedicated to a particular task in a fraction of the time. YOUR OWN CODING PLATFORM Whichever method you choose, remember that your coding platform will probably change, as you gain experience and Favour one language over another. Don’t be afraid to experiment along the way, as you will eventually create your own unique platform that can handle alt the code you enter into it. om t t bdmopubl

Introducing C++ www.bdmpublications.com Why C++? C++ is one of the most popular programming languages available today. Originally called C with Classes, the language was renamed to C++ in 1983. It’s an extension of the original C language, and is a general purpose object-oriented (OOP) environment. C EVERYTHING Due to both the complexity of the language and its power and performance, C++ is often used to develop games, programs, device drivers, and even entire operating systems. Dating back to 1979, the start of the golden era of home computing, C++, or rather C with Classes, was the brainchild of Danish computer scientist Bjarne Stroustrup, while working on his Ph.D thesis. Stroustrup’s plan was to Further the original C language, which had been widely used since the early seventies. C++ proved to be popular among the developers of the 80s, since it was a much easier environmentwith which to get to grips, and, more importantly, it was 99% compatible with the original C language. This meant that, beyond the mainstream computing labs, regular people who didn’t have access to the mainframes and large computing data centres could use it. C++’s impact in the digital world is immense. Many of the programs, applications, games, and even operating systems are coded C++ code is much faster than other programming languages. using C++. For example, all of Adobe’s major applications, such as Photoshop, InDesign and so on, are developed in C++. You will Find that the browser you use to surf the Internet is written in C++, as well as Windows 10, Microsoft Office, and the backbone to Google’s search engine. Apple's macOS is written largely in C++ (with some other languages mixed in depending on the function), and the likes of NASA, SpaceX, and even CERN use C++ for various applications, programs, controls, and umpteen other computing tasks. As well as being an easier addition to the core C language, C++ is also extremely efficient and performs well across the board. This higher level of performance over other languages, such as Python, BASIC and such, makes it an ideal development environment for modern computing; hence the aforementioned companies using it so widely. auing namespace ant maint int n, a: bool 1aPrime = troe; wEnter a positive anteyer: ": forige 2; 4 2: erty V4 0) ‘ aePrime © false: break: > 40 (.apeamey t <e “This ts a prime number": alee cout << *Thie te nox a prine nusber*; retorn 0: | Coteitinds x Sowden x %] FB copOrekiveras+ messoges >

Generally, C++ developers enjoy a higher salary than programmers of some other languages, and, due to its versatility, the C++ programmer can move between jobs and companies without the need to re-learn anything specific. You will discover, as you become a more advanced coder, that many of the developers in various coding jobs around the world tend to use pre-designed development engines. For example, when creating games, the likes of Bethesda, the team behind Oblivion and Skyrim, utilise a 3D game engine called The Creation Engine. This enables the team to quickly create animations, characters, items, terrains, rooms, and just about everything else you'd see in the game. The engine itself has been modified to make the most of the current graphics card hardware, and computer or console processing power. These engines are mostly written in C++, and when making Indeed, the operating system you're using is written in C++.
