Programming

Notes on Programming as a practice. Collect notes about programming language at the "language" level without getting into specific details of each language. "on", "about", "of" programming.

Books

  • Nature of Code by Daniel Shiffman. "an online resource and print book exploring the unpredictable evolutionary and emergent properties of nature in software via the creative coding framework processing."

2024 version with a new and rebooted version of this book built around javascript and the p5.js library. The book has a few new coding tricks this time, but it’s the same old nature—birds still flap their wings, and apples still fall on our heads.

The discussions on naming and abstraction are particularly illuminating, exposing some fundamental tradeoffs like synthetic vs natural names, or principled vs adaptable systems of abstractions. Were these notions more widespread, a lot of the pointless rants and debates we hear in programming circles would disappear.

I would not recommend this book to beginners - this book is most useful when you are experienced enough that your struggle is to make choices, not to get things to work. -- HN

Rosetta Code Analysis (Nanz and Furia 2014)

Our statistical analysis reveals, most notably, that: functional and scripting languages are more concise than procedural and object-oriented languages; C is hard to beat when it comes to raw speed on large inputs, but performance differences over inputs of moderate size are less pronounced and allow even interpreted languages to be competitive; compiled strongly-typed languages, where more defects can be caught at compile time, are less prone to runtime failures than interpreted or weakly-typed languages.

Org Mode

In some users view, org-mode is itself reason enough to learn to use emacs, even if you don't use it for anything else (programming).

Org mode for writing web documents

While Org-mode is used by many people as an organizer, TODO list tracker, journal etc., I'm interested in it as primarily as a markup language that can be extended. This is is primary area where I want to become good at vis-a-vis orgmode (Jan 2020).

My notes

  • the metadata tags at the top of the document start with #+TAG: value format. That is "hash plus tag colon value" format.
  • use the - character for un numbered lists
  • what are the keyboard shortcuts to type blocks like EXAMPLE and CODE. Typing C-c C-, brings up a menu using which i could select an src block or an example block.
