There are many steps to build something to hold everything.

Nowadays there are many kinds of computers, or wannabe computers, where people do what they need in any place and without the need to be connected to wires.  As this kind of technology has been evolving, the need for creating new programming languages that can help to create whatever we desire of we think that people will use. 

Considering that, we cannot just create a programming language, or tell the computer I just want to create a new language that can fullfill these necessities.  But we need to create a whole system that can support the programming language and can change the steps that we are creating to change everything to computer language. 

In this case, it is important to mention that the level of the chat that we have heard, is in a higher level, and as computer science students we need to understand the slang and what they are talking about. Anyway, we need to consider that people might not really understand what a GNU  and a GCC are for. Personally, I am the kind of people who would need to understand and have really small research about it. I consider that It would have been nice to be taught in the podcast, because the audience might not be who they think. 

An important lesson of this podcast is the importance of the knowledge of each part of a computer, a tablet, a tv or even a refrigerator. Also, there is an important fact that we need to understand the way these components are useful for our needs and our ideas. Technology has evolved up to the point where we just need to tell them what we need and they answer us, and as students, we need to take advantage of that. Even though that we have all those advantages, we should really understand how does the basics work, and that is something that our professors are forgetting, due to the need of new technology, but we sometimes need the basics to make an improvement in those new technologies.

More than machine language

Sometimes programmers see other classes such as Software Architecture, FIS, and Compiler Design as something they need just to complete all the credits for them to graduate. This could generate a problem for teachers due to the fact that they are just focused on passing rather than learning the important stuff on each class. In this case, the reading was about what else we could learn from this class besides the way we can build a compiler ( that we know that it would be so hard that we need to build it). Personally, I consider that these ideas should be something that we apply to classes rather than just learning what we are supposed to. This is due to the fact that Computer Science is an area where there are many things we can do rather than just programming.  As someone who is not really interested in programming, this kind of ideas is important because I think that all classes can give you something else to learn besides the topics we are supposed to learn.  I con...

Everything is not Java

When we think about a way to create something that will run in every equipment we think of JVM. In this case, as programmers we tend to seek for something that will run in everything and in the easiest way.  The problem of this solution is that  the limitations of Java tend to be  useful for some basic problems but not for a compiler.  Why is that? A compiler is a machine that can change many things inside the computer. This means that what we are creating is a bridge between the computer and the human language that we are using.  This bridge tends to have many characteristics that depend on the use that we are gonna give it to.  One of the main characteristics of this bridge is imthat we can choose between the numbers that the computer will have  to understand such as hexa, binary or even octal. These points are important to mention due to the fact that we will need to understand what we are doing and how much presition  we need to have. ...
