Life Once - Life Osem

20. That’s weird…

19. It’s never done that before.

18. It worked yesterday.

17. How is that possible?

16. It must be a hardware problem.

15. What did you type in wrong to get it to crash?

14. There has to be something funky in your date.

13. I haven’t touched that module in weeks.

12. You must have the wrong version.

11. It’s just some unlucky coincidence.

10. I can’t test everything!

09. THIS can’t be the source of THAT.

08. It works, but it hasn’t been tested.

07. Somebody must have changed my code.

06. Did you check for a virus on your system?

05. Even though it doesn’t work, How does it feel?

04. You can’t use that version on your system.

03. Why do you want to do it that way?

02. Where were you when the program blew up?

01. It works on my machine.

Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie was an American computer scientist who “helped shape the digital era”. He created the C programming language and with long-time colleague Ken Thompson, the Unix operating system. Ritchie and Thompson received the Turing Award from the ACM in 1983, the Hamming Medal from the IEEE in 1990 and the National Medal of Technology from President Clinton in 1999. Ritchie was the head of Lucent Technologies System Software Research Department when he retired in 2007.

Bjarne Stroustrup is a Danish computer scientist, most notable for the creation and development of the widely used C++ programming language. He is a Distinguished Research Professor and holds the College of Engineering Chair in Computer Science at Texas A&M University, a visiting professor at Columbia University, and works at Morgan Stanley.

James Gosling

Linus Benedict Torvalds is a Finnish American software engineer, who was the principal force behind the development of the Linux kernel. He later became the chief architect of the Linux kernel, and now acts as the project’s coordinator. He also created the revision control system Git as well as the diving log software Subsurface. He was honored, along with Shinya Yamanaka, with the 2012 Millennium Technology Prize by the Technology Academy Finland in recognition of his creation of a new open source operating system for computers leading to the widely used Linux kernel.

Anders Hejlsberg

Sir Timothy John “Tim” Berners-Lee is also known as “TimBL”, is a British computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web. He made a proposal for an information management system in March 1989 and he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet. Berners-Lee is the director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which oversees the Web’s continued development.

Brian Wilson Kernighan is a Canadian computer scientist who worked at Bell Labs alongside Unix creators Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie and contributed to the development of Unix. He is also coauthor of the AWK and AMPL programming languages. Kernighan’s name became widely known through co-authorship of the first book on the C programming language with Dennis Ritchie.

Kenneth Thompson commonly referred to as ken in hacker circles is an American pioneer of computer science. Having worked at Bell Labs for most of his career, Thompson designed and implemented the original Unix operating system. He also invented the B programming language, the direct predecessor to the C programming language, and was one of the creators and early developers of the Plan 9 operating systems. Since 2006, Thompson works at Google, where he co-invented the Go programming language.

Guido van Rossum is a Dutch computer programmer who is best known as the author of the Python programming language. In the Python community, Van Rossum is known as a “Benevolent Dictator For Life” (BDFL), meaning that he continues to oversee the Python development process, making decisions where necessary. He was employed by Google from 2005 until December 7th, 2012. Where he spent half his time developing the Python language. In January 2013, Van Rossum started working for Dropbox.

Donald Ervin Knuth is an American computer scientist, mathematician, and Professor Emeritus at Stanford University. He is the author of the multi-volume work The Art of Computer Programming. Knuth has been called the “father” of the analysis of algorithms. He contributed to the development of the rigorous analysis of the computational complexity of algorithms and systematized formal mathematical techniques for it. In the process, He also popularized the asymptotic notation. Knuth is the creator of the TeX computer typesetting system, the related METAFONT font definition language and rendering system and the Computer Modern family of typefaces.

Bagi pengembang aplikasi yang menggunakan teknologi Microsoft pastinya sudah sering menggunakan Microsoft Visual Studio dalam mengembangkan aplikasinya. Tampilan dari Visual Studio ini terbilang mengusung desain yang sudah diseragamkan dengan perangkat lunak Microsoft lainnya, dan cukup mudah dimengerti oleh pengembang aplikasi pemula sekalipun.

Visual Studio ini dapat digunakan untuk melakukan pengembangan aplikasi, baik itu aplikasi bisnis, personal, maupun komponen aplikasinya. Hasil dari Visual Studio ini dapat berupa aplikasi desktopberbasis WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), aplikasi Windows 8, aplikasi Windows Phone 8, ataupun aplikasi web berbasis ASP.Net.

Dalam hal dukungan terhadap bahasa untuk pengembang aplikasi, Visual Studio ini telah mendukung C++, C#, F#, VB.Net, JavaScript, CSS, dan HTML. Selain itu, dengan bisa ditambahkannya extension pada perangkat pengembangan aplikasi ini maka dapat mendukung PHP, Python, dan masih banyak lagi. Apabila pembaca membutuhkan dukungan lebih lengkap terhadap JavaScript, CSS, dan HTML ini dapat menambahkan extension mengenai “web essential”.

Dalam merepresentasikan tampilan antarmuka pada aplikasi yang diciptakan menggunakan Visual Studio seperti pengaturan, bentuk, teks, tombol, dan konten lain yang ditampilkan di layar ini pengembang aplikasi dapat menggunakan XAML (“Extensible Application Markup Language”).

Siapa yang tidak tahu bahasa pemrograman? Bukan sekedar bahasa yang bisa digunakan untuk berkomunikasi antar human, tapi juga antara human dengan mesin. 

Ada banyak sekali jenis bahasa pemrograman yang tersebar di seluruh dunia. Pada umumnya, programmer sejati akan berkonsentrasi pada satu atau dua jenis bahasa pemrograman saja, hal ini bertujuan agar mereka bisa tetap fokus dan berkelanjutan mendalami bahasa permrograman tersebut.

Saya juga seorang programmer [amatir] sekaligus mengajarkan bahasa pemrograman (Visual Basic, PHP, Java). Ada banyak sekali keluhan yang disampaikan mahasiswa kepada saya diantaranya adalah :

Membaca seringkali selalu berkaitan dengan kalimat yang tertera pada halaman, tapi berlajar pemrograman adalah soal kode. Ketika kamu pertama kali belajar pemrograman, kamu harus serius melihat dan memahami pada setiap contoh kode.
