Evolution of a Programmer

Does it really matter what was the programming language you learnt first ? 
Once you step into any engineering college it is highly probable that you'll land with a programming job. The whole 4years go as a pre-planned vacation. But, there are stages which everyone has to go through, sooner or later. Let's see the various stages of evolution you've gone through to become a programmer as you're now.

Step - 1:
Baby steps with VBA

Hello world in VBA
Probably you always wondered how this programs work and you started with VBA as it was easy to use and develop some useful things and get things done.

Step - 2:
 Say hello to the world with extinct TC++ IDE.

Hello world in C on TC++
You're lucky if you've even heard of gcc then. You only knew TC+++ and didn't know what to do without that #include<conio.h>.

A bit more sophisticated code

More sophisticated code in C on TC++



Step - 3:
Learning the data structure and sorting algorithms (I know what you did this summer, LOL)

Schaum's Data structure

This book has always helped. One of the best books that briefly describe DS.
Quick Sort Algorithm
Tree and graphs were cool to work with.

Step -4 :
Linux. Trust me man; it's cool.

Learning Linux

Hey, how do I get out of this thing ?

Step - 5:
Learning an OOPL; C# or Java

Hello World in Java

Hello, World! How you doing?

Working with objects in Java

Successfully able to create and work with objects. Objective to learn an OOPL achieved.

Step - 6:
Call him a Software Engineer/ System Engineer/ Developer etc...


Java Programming on Eclipse

Went through 2 months of extensive training program to understand that Eclipse is indeed better than NetBeans. You also learned that there's something better than notepad to write code in.

Now, I can code any shit you tell. After all, I know how to create packages and run a java program.

Now that I'm a programmer, after all.

If you've ever heard of Gregor Johann Mendel , then you must be knowing he is the first person to show experimental evidence of inheritance. Thanks to him, now we all know many things about how a certain characteristics is transferred from parents to their children. We know him as the father of Genetics . This blog is about my experiment of inheritance and cross pollination, similar to that of Mendel's. Mendel did that with pea plants and I tried with Mirabilis Jalapa, aka 4O'clock plant. This plant is abundant in India and shows many distinguishable , observable and verifiable characteristics which makes it one of the best plants to conduct experiment with . This plant comes in 3 different varieties (as per my knowledge), White , Yellow and Red based upon their flower color. Easily observable characteristics of this plant are: Color of the flower Color of the stem The Red variety is the most abundant one, yellow is comparatively rarer and whi...

It natively supports 7Z compression which is much effective(read smaller archived file size) than ZIP format in many occasions. Best thing, it is also available for Linux and Mac. 2. K-lite codec pack It is a code pack for Wi...
