Do I need to download an app for that?

Nowadays people tend to be more connected to internet due to the development of technologies, such as smartphones and tablets. In this case what we tend to notice is that people need these kind of things to do their everyday activities, but there is a point where the user needs to think: do i really need this app that will use my memory or could I live accessing it through my web browser?

In this case the answer we could get could be divided into two groups: the ones that download any app they need and just use it for the day and keep it forever, and the group who access the website. In any of those cases we need to consider any case that these groups answer to.

As we have seen in many other clases yo create an app is kind of easy with nowadays technology, where the same programming language can be used to create an app for iOS and Android. But in the case  of a website or a webapp we tend to think just inside a  box of what we can do with this kind of technology. What I mean is that we tend to think that apps are more useful than a webapp due to smartphones, but no, all smartphones have a  web browser and we can create the same thing for many devices and without many hard work.

In this case what the text suggests is that we can build a compiler for a website and how everything that we have learned could get us to that way.  Up to this point we should have already know what's a compiler, what do we need and some basics of programming languages to create it.  The important element here to consider is  why should we create a compiler for a website? 

Personally I think that we should ask the developer or even the user this question,  what are you gonna do there?  Their answers could be as simple as " use it as AWS", "to run programs in my tablet", and so on. It is important to take into consideration what we can do with what we have learned up to this point and. To think outside the box, where we could create an app more or we could generate  something we could have used while we were studying.

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. ...

What we should have heard before

As time goes by, and as  we research for more information, we find out  that there are many things that  people or even our teachers do not tell us that more than one person or two  were involved in important projects. Also, it is important  to mention that  winners, and men, are the writters of  our  history, and they decide  what they teach kids.  In this case , it is important  to mention  that they decide who is important for us. Nowadays, women become as important as  men, and their actions  become more important  to show and to prove  society that many people, not just men. In this case,  it is important to accept that Grace Hopper made a change  in computer science and in our history.  I consider that   some actions  that  she lived  were not  something that she liked  or that she approved, such as the atomic bomb.  I consider that men and wo...
