My Journey Begins as a Programmer

Hi Everyone, I am starting my journey as a Programmer by next week. I joined a coding Bootcamp to learn to program. From today, I started my demo class. I thought my journey could help someone and started my blog to tell them about the process of learning.

First-day Class:

My first class started with some of the basics related to the programming language and how it was developed?, Like we should know why it was developed and where they were used?

What is programming?

A computer program is a sequence of instructions written using a Computer Programming Language to perform a specified task by the computer.

Developers who developed some of the most used programming languages

Martin Richards developed the BCPL programming language, forerunner of the B and C languages.
Dennis Ritchie, inventor of C.
Bjarne Stroustrup, developer of C++.
Anders Hejlsberg, developer of Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C#, and TypeScript.
Guido van Rossum, creator of Python.
James Gosling, lead developer of Java and its precursor, Oak.
Yukihiro Matsumoto, creator of Ruby.
Larry Wall, creator of the Perl.

What is a Compiler?

A compiler is a tool which has the ability to read the source code and translate it to object-level code.

What is a source code?

Source code is the fundamental component of a computer program that is created by a programmer. It can be read and easily understood by a human being.

What is an object-level code?

Object code refers to the low-level code that is understandable by the machine. Object code is generated from source code after going through a compiler or other translators.

What is object-oriented programming?

Object-Oriented Programming or OOPs refers to languages that use objects in programming. Object-oriented programming aims to implement real-world entities like inheritance, hiding, polymorphism, etc in programming. The main aim of OOP is to bind together the data and the functions that operate on them so that no other part of the code can access this data except that function. Examples are C++, Java, etc.

Concepts that are most important to learn as a Beginner.

1. Classes and Objects
2. Constructors
3. Static Methods
4. Recursion
5. Loops
6. OOPS
7. Libraries/Modules/Packages

I will be posting blogs as I learn in this Bootcamp. Thank you for reading this.

P.S This is more like an Induction class and they taught only this and more about the training program. Please bear with my English.
