ASCII Shrug

Wang Bing

Description

A programmer developer notes full of questions and explanations
Why call the book name ASCII Shrug? The born of ASCII makes almost every computing feature possible. The born of ASCII transforms computing and our lives in such an easier way, sometimes we may finish a job with just a shrug.
But all these came not easy, countless computing scientists and engineers have devoted to create a seirs of milestones. Chapter I brings you to hundred years ago, even ancient time when civilization just sprouted. How number is generated? How mathematics and algebra developed? How mathematic related with computing? Chapter II touches many basic concepts. Chapter III goes into a deep further to explain some basic and popular topics in language computing. Have you ever thought about the many basics? What exactly is iteration and recursion? Have you thought about how important floating point is? If philosophy can help us understand the world, we can trace back to Before Christ. Chapter IV tries to illustrate the important programming paradigm from fundamental, from philosophy. What is object in the world? What is object-oriented way of thinking from philosophy point of view? Chapter V accumulates all the contents in my developer notes, it covers data, database, data modeling, SQL server, and the evolvement of windows interface implementation and web services implementation over the years. Have you thought about SQL server architecture? Why the query can run in SQL server? Have you seen those SQL errors before? Chapter VI pictorial tomorrow’s technologies in some computing areas, which directions are for programming languages, big data, and user interface, it also lays out some challenges in the research. If tomorrow comes, we will have something new along with the difficulties, we will have lots of work and challenges, but we are full of hope, we will be looking forward to the coming of each tomorrow.

PREFACE
I kept a file called Developer Note when started to work for a new company, or on a new project, or in a new business domain, or in a new industry world. For a long time, I keep an invisible lingering in my mind to crave for a chance to re-learn some basics, some history, some present and some future. Now I think the opportunity is coming, I put all I assimilated in my developer note in a book. I’m learning some history, some basics. I’m reviewing some coding, some problem solutions. I’m expecting tomorrow, continuing to think and work. And at the same time, I am writing, here is my bigger compact of developer note, my book: ASCII Shrug .
Why call the book name ASCII Shrug ? The born of ASCII makes almost every computing feature possible, GUI interface, networking, machines communication, data management and transaction, and many others. The born of ASCII transforms computing and our lives in such an easier way, sometimes we may finish a job with just a shrug. Computer is more friendly to users, and computing is more nature to human being.
But all these came not easy, countless computing scientists and engineers have devoted to, forgetting day and night, they ever suffered, failed, even went into disaster, just because of these failures created a series of milestones. Chapter I: Trail without shrugging brings you to hundred years ago, even ancient time when civilization just sprouted. How number is generated? How mathematics and algebra developed? How mathematic related with computing? Who implemented the first program in the world? How first computing machine was built? many. many… The trail can shed you some lights to see the history reflections.
Basically, I am a programmer, after years of programming, I want to pause to review all the languages from a higher-level point of view that how programming languages are classified? Chapter II: Languages Skeleton Shrug touches many basic concepts, and they are very common topics. I explained them from my personal understanding along with the diagrams to illustrate my summaries. Chapter III: Languages Computing Shrug goes into a deep further to explain some basic and popular topics in language computing. For all these topics, all software developers need tackle them during their programming time, but have you ever thought about the basics. For example, you know how to write loop statements, but what exactly is iteration? How computer performs iterative statements? You are very clear about float data type, especially for financial software, we need play a lot with currency represented as decimal number, but have you ever thought about how important floating point is? Why the supercomputing machines speed-competition in the world use floating point calculation speed as a gauge?
If philosophy can help us understand the world, we can trace back to Before Christ. Over thousand years, philosophy gradually immerse into the life of human being, the power nature, and the abstract sciences. The same apply to computing and programming. Chapter IV: Object-Oriented Programming tries to illustrate the very important programming paradigm from fundamental, from philosophy first. What is object in the world? What is object-oriented way of thinking from philosophical point of view? Is object-oriented programming slow dying?
Chapter V: Computing Programming Development Shrug is a big chapter, it accumulates all the contents in my developer note , all my study and research. It covers data, database, data modeling, SQL server, and the evolvement of windows interface implementation and web services implementation over the years. We all know these highlights, we all tackle SQL server, GUI or web services almost every day. But have you ever thought about what’s the SQL server architecture? Why the query can run through in SQL server? Have you seen those SQL reported errors before? What are fundamentals of windows form and windows presentation foundation? How to program GUI before those advanced GUI frameworks were born? We all know IIS in Mic
