Building Server-Side Web Language Processors

Practice gives all the previous knowledge into test, where students can develop platforms/applications in order to understand easily concepts viewed before on past courses. Web platforms are very attractive because nowadays everyone uses a browser, and now many of the development is linked to web platforms, many speculate that web technologies are the path of future approaches.

All concepts learned in Computer Science courses can be easily presented in ways which students may like very much, in the case of Building Server-Side Web Language Processors, takes concepts from courses like Compiler Design and Programming Languages into a practical way, developing such applications gives the students a bright idea and concept of what they are programming.

Learning is very fun, but with the right tools it could be a lot better and enjoyable. Like it is mentioned on the article: “web programming promotes diversity in computer science because the programs are more motivating to a diverse audience”.

Many of the process can be skipped while implementing this project, by taking API or other resources for creating a web server, but the article explains all the phases for this process which is relevant for understanding everything at its core.

This general idea of using web services for creating applications for education and also for creating tools is great, the expansion of creativity will be limited by the creator's mind, so that, the interface can become very appealing for new curious minds that want to learn more about certain topic.

Accessibility is now a feature that can be very well used, now final user would not depend on programs, operating systems and other resources in order to “graphically” understand what is going on, with the simple task of entering an URL, a user can go into a designed tool that will help understand a specific topic.

The Hundred-Year Language

To binary expressions to a language that abstracts ideas and translates them into machine code. Different programming languages had been created in order to complete or satisfy certain tasks, the designs of new languages are being made and performed, as the time passes the evolution of language design are being performed by the community, more people are being involved into the creation, and modification of programming languages. It is a co-evolution, in order to create the hundred-year language, the hundred-year hardware must be created to, the way of the functionality of the hardware and software have to be precise, the interpretation of the language should generate the precise mathematical instructions. Maybe the hundred-year language will be an autonomous system which enriches it's vocabulary with the input of an user, or even with the input from the environment. The abstraction of the language will be limitless because it can be learned from it's usage, there is an imp

My first Post

Hello, my name is Siegfried, I have many hobbies such as playing basketball, playing the guitar, bicycle riding, painting and so on. I find fascinating learning new things every day, It quite amaze me the amount of information and interesting topics there are out there. For this course, Compiler Design I expect to get all what can I get from this course, I find this topic very interesting, because I have always wonder how someone does program a program that creates programs. And I always wanted to create my programming language from scratch, I want to create an interesting project with the knowledge I will gain in this course. My Hobbies as I mention before are the following: Painting Guitar Climbing Watching Movies Reading ... I cannot think of more hobbies.... My personal interests are: Quantum Computing Reverse Engineering  Nihilism Existentialism Currently I'm reading books related to Quantum Computer and Reverse Engineering, I have more in my to-read list bu

Ruby and the Interpreter Pattern

It is very interesting using programming languages to create tools for learning or for proving certain relevant topics in programming languages, in this case SIF, S-Expression Interpreter Framework, which allows the programmer to create Language Design implementation, using interpreter pattern, and proving and knowing concepts which are interesting and important while talking about programming languages. This tool allows teaching about language design and implementation, and proving and using concepts such as stacks, queues, hash tables, regular expressions and context free grammars. Sometimes programming languages can be used as a tool for teaching concepts previously presented in a practical way, sometimes certain functionality from some programming languages allows the expansion from its general scope, which allows the programmer expand their creativity in order to create new things. Viewing examples, in a practical way, makes the reader more attracted to the topic and
