New Era Of Coding

Everything You Need To Know About Coding For Beginners

~ Abhinav Asthana 

Coding is the future.

Our world is changing by the minute. Our reliance on mobile apps increases every day. More and more of the marketplace is moving into the digital realm. Even manufacturing is becoming increasingly automated.

In this ever-increasingly digital world, coding is the skill with the power to pay the bills.

But even as ubiquitous as coding is, there’s still an air of mystique around it.

In this article, we’ll look at the basics of coding for beginners and clear up a little bit of the mystery.

What is Coding Anyway?

You’ve seen the craze for learning code. But what exactly is coding? Coding is what makes it possible for us to create computer software, apps and websites. Your browser, your OS, the apps on your phone, Facebook, and this website – they’re all made with code.

Here’s a simple example of code, written in the C language:

#include<stidio.h>

int main(){

    printf("Hello world");

    return 0;

    }

Many coding tutorials use that command as their very first example, because it’s one of the simplest examples of code you can have – it ‘prints’ (displays) the text ‘Hello, world!’ onto the screen.

It starts with an explanation on the benefits of learning coding. Here, you’ll find out what you’ll be able to do once you know how to work with code. Then, you’ll get a deeper understanding of how coding works, and how the code you write gets converted into an instruction that a computer can ‘understand’. Very satisfying to know!

coding is an analytical process in which data, in both quantitative form (such as questionnaires results) or qualitative form (such as interview transcripts) are categorized to facilitate analysis.

SQL

SQL is a domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS). It is particularly useful in handling structured data, i.e. data incorporating relations among entities and variables. 

Python

Python is an interpreted high-level general-purpose programming language. Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant indentation. Its language constructs as well as its object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.

Java

Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let application developers write once, run anywhere, meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation.

C

C is a high-level and general-purpose programming language that is ideal for developing firmware or portable applications. Originally intended for writing system software, C was developed at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie for the Unix Operating System in the early 1970s.

C++

C++ is one of the world's most popular programming languages. C++ can be found in today's operating systems, Graphical User Interfaces, and embedded systems. C++ is an object-oriented programming language which gives a clear structure to programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs.

Django

Django was created in the fall of 2003, when the web programmers at the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper, Adrian Holovaty and Simon Willison, began using Python to build applications. Jacob Kaplan-Moss was hired early in Django's development shortly before Simon Willison's internship ended.

• a lightweight and standalone web server for development and testing
• a form serialization and validation system that can translate between HTML forms and values suitable for storage in the database
• a template system that utilizes the concept of inheritance borrowed from object-oriented programming
• a caching framework that can use any of several cache methods
• support for middleware classes that can intervene at various stages of request processing and carry out custom function.

Time to Start Learning

What is coding? Before you started reading this article you may not have known the answer to this. You may have had some vague idea about different programming languages and that they are used to build websites and apps, but now you know a whole lot more!

If you are curious about coding and are interested in delving deeper, the next thing to do is to choose a language to learn.

Try and find one which interests you and which will let you work in a field that you want to - the languages outlined above are just a few of many, so make sure that you do plenty of research before settling on any one language.

Good luck, and have fun!
