Answer by Walter M
Obviously nobody knows, you can look at charts such as these ones: http://langpop.com/ but in reality its not like its on the census form your country makes you do every 5 or so years. If I had do guess it would be Java, or ActionScript.

Answer by Duh!
Yes, Python and Java are both useful skills to have. Even though used less frequently, it can help you quickly script stuff where others are still struggling. Also learn C/C++ of course.

I really enjoy this type of work, although it is only one facet of my job. I’m also familiar with HTML from building a personal website.

I would like to become a programmer. What would be the most useful thing to learn right now? I would be teaching myself on the weekends. I’ve heard Ruby is very popular right now, but Java seems to have the most resources out there. Any tips?

Answer by Bona
If you already know HTML, maybe JavaScript, Php and the basics Sql.
With that, you can make whatever you want on the web.

Best answer:

Answer by Joe M
Index registers are what make arrays possible without repeating entire chunks of code for each element. It’s a form of indirect addressing.

I would appreciate a list of 20, 50, or even 100 or 1,000 words that you think are most commonly used or most useful (for any language – it doesn’t have to be Italian) nouns, adjectives, verbs, etc, are most appreciated!

Best answer:

Answer by Me M
I am not an electrical engineer… so I may have missed a potential use. However, I am a software developer and I am familiar with the .NET framework.

The .NET framework requires Microsoft Windows to run and it is not designed to directly interact with hardware or do any low level system or memory manipulations. In fact, it isn’t truly compiled into machine code… it uses something similar to Java’s Just-in-time compilation system that compiles the code into something similar to a half-way state and then converts it into machine code at run-time. So .NET programs will only be used to run on top of working Windows-based devices that have the .NET framework installed. This limits its uses in the development of electronics. However, I do believe I have seen .NET apps interact with Windows device drivers (that were not written in .NET)…. but I cannot tell you how in-depth that interaction was.

I can really only see it being used for a very small number of things in electrical engineering. One use would be to write testing and ‘helper’ apps to aid in the testing/development of an electronic device. These apps could automate testing processes on electronic devices connected to PC’s by sending specific data to the device drivers or USB ports (if it was a USB device). Also, I have also seen software created to simulate circuits and MCU’s. The simulators I have seen were not based on the .NET framework, but they could have been written in .NET. However, while the finished simulation software may aid electrical engineers, the software would probably be developed by computer scientists and not the electrical engineers themselves.

The other use would be to write software to run within Windows on a PC (or a device running WIndows CE) that would indirectly interact with an electronic device through other software systems (eg: the system drivers). An example of this would be ATI’s Catalyst software. I believe ATI’s catalyst software uses the .NET framework for the GUI that allows users to easily change settings… however the actual drivers and software that interacts with the hardware is not .NET based. I am not sure how ATI did this and they are the only ones I have seen that did this.

I would like to ask programmer and software professionals about which program language to learn amonst the plurality of available languages.
Some background about me, i am a control engineer i programmed a while ago embedded C, which uses rather addressing, interrupts, and mainly functional programming.
At this point, i remember little from that, but i’d like to learn a language that is cross GUI and embedded also. In another word a language that enables the programmer to programm a GUI while interracting with the hardware.
what do u think about Visual C++ rather than others like just plain C or Python. I heard that VB is terrible, is this true ?
and which one would enable you to be versatile in relatively intuitive for an engineer to learn in timely fashion.

Thank you very much
Seems like i haven’t gotten my answer yet…let me rephrase it. Is visual C++ reasonably well within reach to learn in short amount of time.

if yes why?
if no why?

Thanks,

Best answer:

Answer by Gardner
Yes.

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm using “objects” – data structures consisting of data fields and methods together with their interactions – to design applications and computer programs. Programming techniques may include features such as data abstraction, encapsulation, messaging, modularity, polymorphism, and inheritance.

C# supports all of this.
