How processor and programming languages work (for dummies)

[Frooxius]

This is an article written by me, I thought you might find it useful, as it explains "wonders of technology" in much more simple manner, without overwhelming technobabble and such.

Article can be now found at CodeProject

Hey, great article. I just took a course on Computer Organization, and this is pretty much one big summary of what I spent 2 semesters learning
It's got a little bit of information about everything, which is nice to read if you don't know much about the topic. Of course, I'm probably a bad judge of how understandable this would be if I hadn't taken a few courses in this exact topic
The grammar is good, and not too difficult to understand even when you do slip up a little.

Overall I liked it. Not too long, yet well-informed. Thanks for the good read.

Thanks, funnily enough, I'm only going to erm... "learn" this in following months at the college, because I'm going to the college for the first time (just finished high school roughly a little bit two months ago)

A very good read, indeed!

I have zero knowledge in any given computer area, but I've always been curious! And this article certainly begins to shed light! You did a good job!

Goforit: Thanks ^^

Dear Frooxius

I have been practicing more and more in the fields of Javascript (including Jquery) and general web designing, nevertheless, I have been considering desktop applications as well. What would be a good language for a beginner in that area? Python? C++? Other?

Sincerely, Yehoshua (whom is not a stalker).

[Frooxius]

yehoshua: From the two named, Python is certainly better (easier) and its syntax forces you to write properly formatted code. You might also want to take a look at Pascal (some modern dialect of it, for example Delphi uses Object Pascal).

Of course, then you can move to other languages, like C++, but if you want something simpler, but still C-like, try C# or Java, which are both easier, but also quite powerful.

Thank you Frooxius!

Also, I was even more happily surprised when I received weekly CodeProject newsletter and my article was under the category "Most popular new articles 16 Jan 2012 - 23 Jan 2012" - in top 5 most popular new articles of the week, from 130 new articles ^^ *bubbles happily*

I'm really glad your article is getting so much recognition Frooxius. :3 It is a very good article about a complicate subject (well complicated for new people anyway) for sure.

A round of apaws for you Frooxius!
