Quotes About Programming

Allowing the big dogs to create a toll lane for public education, public interest and government programming, and to make it more costly to sell products online, will be bad for Black women and our communities.

People write programs. That statement is worth pausing over. People write programs. Despite the field's infatuation with metaphors like architecture and bridge-building and its dabbling in alternative models from biology or physics, the act of programming today remains an act of writing—of typing character after character, word after word, line after line.

Everyone in the world was programmed by the place they were born, hemmed in by their beliefs, but you had to at least try to grow your own brain.

Yeah, I'm very impressed with Lifetime, this is the first time I've worked with them. I really like the kind of programming that they're into, so I'm hoping that I will.

Any nerd who grew up around the time that I did, BBC programming was a treasure chest for us.

Most of the time people are aiming so low on television. They're trying to reach that common denominator, especially on network television.

In other words, what you believe—that is, the descriptions of the world around you that you received in childhood—act much like software; they program what is perceivable by your conscious mind.

These operations move memory around, perform some sort of basic math, or interrupt the processor to get it to do something else. In the end, that's all a computer processor can really do. But in the same way millions of books have been written using a relatively small alphabet of letters, an infinite number of possible programs can be created using a relatively small collection of machine instructions.

At a deep level, all code is about communication: expressing ideas about what you want to achieve.

The fact that variables have types and cannot simply hold any kind of object is another important feature of the language that ensures safety and correctness of code.

Builder.ai lets you make app without the knowledge of coding.

For certain fortunate people there is something which transcends all classifications of behaviour, and that is awareness; something which rises above the programming of the past, and that is spontaneity; and something that is more rewarding than games, and that is intimacy.

Intimacy begins when individual (usually instinctual) programing becomes more intense, and both social patterning and ulterior restrictions and motives begin to give way. It is the only completely satisfying answer to stimulus-hunger, recognition-hunger and structure-hunger.

The heart of software is its ability to solve domain-related problems for its user.

The goal is that not only can a developer understand what the code does; he or she can also understand why it does what it does and can relate that to the ongoing communication with the domain experts.

Two objects are equal only if the variables containing the object references point to the same object.

Lexical scope means that we can determine the scope of a variable by reading our code.

Closures are a function along with a referencing environment.

Closures are often used to capture state for event handlers.

That's because the default prototype for any instance you create (assuming you don't change it) is Object.

JavaScript: When an event occurs, like the ones you've mentioned, that event is added to a queue. I don't even look at it until I've finished whatever I'm working on. That way I do everything correctly and safely and efficiently.

You can't send functions:

One thing that often misleads people learning closures is that they think the environment in the closure must have a copy of all the variables and their values. It doesn't. In

JavaScript creates all local variables at the beginning of a function whether you declare them or not (this is called "hoisting" and we'll come back to it later), but the variables are all undefined until they are assigned a value, which might not be what you want.
