Code Wrangling at its Best
Strings and Variable So far we’ve added lots of stack operations and a couple I/O routines with the KEY and EMIT keywords. At the moment if we wanted to write a simple “Hello World” application we would need to place each character on the stack and pop them off using the EMIT keyword. This is

This post marks the first in a series of posts I will complete on graph algorithms. The code will be python however, I will write the code very verbosely so it will be easily ported to your favorite programming language. I will assume you have some programming skills but are still a novice or that
Before we move on to adding more features to our language, I think it is high time we combine our disparate parts into a single entity.

Part 2 – The Parser It’s been some time since the first installment. It amazes me how quickly time flies by when you have so many projects at hand. So let’s jump right in and get coding! Before we get started though, let’s make some changes to our keywords file. First, we won’t need the

Newbie Developers, especially those who are self-taught, often struggle with graph algorithms. I recently helped a young man on slack get a handle on the subject and I thought I would share my insights with those of you who lack the ability to write breadth-first search (BFS) and depth-first search (DFS) algorithms from scratch. Knowing
TLDR; Warning long post While most software developers have heard of Structural, Imperative, Object-Oriented, Prototypal, and Functional programming paradigms, and the language types that support them. Few have heard of Stack Oriented Programming even though it’s been around for quite some time. while this seemingly obscure programming construct is out of the norm for most
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice there is! Jan L. A. van de Snepscheut I am often asked if you need a CS degree to become a software developer. I usually respond “It helps”. But the truth is I don’t have a CS degree and they were a

I spent 10 years working mostly in the PHP, Python, javascript, and the LAMP stack doing backend web development. Before that, I had worked primarily in C/C++ and various Assemblies, with a few excursions into projects that required other languages and technologies, such as FORTH, Visual Basic, COBOL or ADA. I enjoy working under the
Two days ago the Dart team announced the preview release of their null safety framework. So why would we want it? What is it? How can we use it? Why Should we care about null safety? You don’t have to deploy many projects before you begin to learn that users find weird and interesting ways
I was asked the other day to deplay a flask site on an Ubuntu 18.04 server running Apache2 and managed using ISPConfig 3.x. ISPConfig is great for adding sites and managing simple hosting services. However, for developers who often need special access to the console and special features it often seems to get in the
