Programming Tutorials Main

Description

Learn how to Program with these tutorials. For the beginner to the more advanced developer. This is a website which you can use as a Reference and also a guide to general software and web development.

Main Article

With a modern day computer, the potential to be creative is vast; and learning to program is the best way to utilise the power of your P.C. With these tutorials, we will go through how to gain knowledge and experience in writing your own programs. The programming languages we cover in these tutorials varies, which means will we go through various platforms and languages. Whether it is writing a calculator or a game, which comprises of sophisticated graphics, you have to start somewhere. Hopefully from here we can not only cover how to get it done, we will also make sure we understand the pitfalls that can arise when working within this environment.

From low-level programming languages like Assembly, C, and C++, to more higher level Languages like ActionScript, Python, and Java; these languages have different syntax and paradigms, but when you gain more exposure you will see that these languages have the same logic in how they work. They are in many ways similar in the way they are structured some are Object-orientated, some are Procedural. By going through the tutorials, we will go through the basics and more advanced, and then we can see the similarities these languages share. You will also get to grips with the different ways to program and the different programming structures like Object-orientated and Procedural paradigms in due course.

Below we have the sections for each language. There are tutorials and example code included inside. There are also printable copies of the tutorials (in .pdf files).

C Programming Language

Description

The main C Programming Tutorial section. Has many category in regards to C Programming, from beginner level to more advanced.

Main Article

One of the world's most popular programming language over the last couple of decades has been C. It has many useful features, which are still important today. C was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson in 1972, whilst at AT&T Bell Labs. As a language, it has been superseded and has inspired other and more modern languages; C is still a very important language as most Operating System kernels are still primarily written in C, as it is powerful, which allows high performance. This is because, it is a low level language, which is a nearer abstraction layer to hardware, which is processor and system independent code, unlike lower languages like Machine code (lowest level to hardware) and Assembly (next lowest), which only deals with processor specific programming instructions (For example Intel and AMD processors have different architecture, therefore Assembly and Machine code will be different on individual systems). Even though Machine and Assembly code is generally quicker than C, it is not that much quicker on modern day P.C.'s., but a lot quicker on embedded systems and old systems. With this C is portable, and a flexible language for porting, and with a large range of libraries and code bases written in C, it has many usages.

We will go into the basics of C and how you can use the language for your own ambitious projects.

Getting to grips with the C++ Language

Main Article

C++ is a popular programming language which was originally built on top of the C Programming Language. Originally developed by Bjarne Stroustrup as a more Object Orientated Programming (OOP) Language, which derived from C. Originally called C with Classes when it was first developed in 1979, C++ has evolved from simple enhancements of C to becoming a programming language powerhouse in it's own right. It is an intermediate level language as it has the paradigms of both high and low level programming styles; it is used for many powerful applications and tools like video games, audio/visual applications, Office Suites and all types of software that you see across all platforms. This programming language has made such an impact, it has influenced many languages since like Java, C# and D; which are all OOP languages.

As you can use C within a C++ program, most of the times you are not utilising the efficiency and flexibility of this Object Orientated language as in these tutorials you will learn the major library tools which comes with C++, which is the Standard Template Library (STL) and other OOP techniques. We will go through Classes, and understand the what their roles are in OOP programming, and what different types of paradigms you can use with this ultra-powerful language. As I would always explain to anyone who is new and wants to proceed with these tutorials; make sure that you have the basic grasps of C, as the main concepts of those languages are necessary to proceed to these more advanced tutorials.

Software Development for Windows

Main Article

In this section, we will deal with programming on the Windows Operating System; the world's most common Desktop operating system. With this system, we start with simple Windows specific console programs to more sophisticated and common WinAPI applications. Dealing with these Windows Programming tutorials requires that you have basic knowledge of C and C++. From handling Windows specific controls like the Graphical User Interface (GUI), to Event Handling and more general task, they will be covered in these tutorials.

Without doubt, as you would have noticed Windows is a common platform, and as an operating system, the capabilities of what you can program is vast with the built in tools with some I have just mentioned. They are key components of the operating system, and knowing how they come together within a program framework is vital knowledge.

Not only we will be going through basic Windows software development, we will also be going through creating our own static and dynamic libraries with Visual Studio. As the libraries are a strong component of any operating system, you will see the advantages of knowing how these things work when you go toward the more advanced programming tasks.
