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.

Greetings, programs!

Hello everyone, my name is Ana Paula, but as I like to use pseudonyms in my blogs,  so my name here will be HAL. I like programming classes, but I tend to have issues in those due to the fact that I have anxiety and I do like the things to work perfectly. Also, this is because I tend to compare myself to everyone else. Anyway, nowadays I know what I am capable of and that I have friends that support me and that asking the teacher for extra help is not bad. However, what I expect of this class is to pass it, becauseI know  that this class is hard  and   that  I need to program a lot to really understand it.  What I like is music, reading, and dancing. You can see me every day with a book in my hands and my headphones in the other. My favorite book is "the stranger" by Albert Camus because I have always thought that I do not belong to. Lately I've been  reading classic books and some  about philosophy, and the  one that has catched my attention  is  " The Russ

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 consider tha

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
