Code, Made Simple...

Programming is an interesting ordeal. In my experience as a tutor, too many students seem to focus on trying to memorize a specific language's syntax, instead of learning proper code logic.

As much as we all hate doing it, starting with UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagrams and/or psuedocode can actually speed the development process. How? By catching errors in logic. What may seem obvious when thinking about a problem can prove to be utterly wrong once it is written out and studied. Otherwise, these errors in logic may not be caught until too much time has been spent trying to fix troublesome code...

Below, you will find links for each language or process I am at least passingly familiar with. Alternatively, you can click one of the links above or below to be taken to the next topic I have chosen to *attempt* to explain...

C# : Creating a Custom Class

It's probably just my infatuation with C# that makes me say this, but I find creating classes in C# much easier than any other language I've learned.

C# : .NET's Native Tongue

Built from the ground up to implement the .NET framework. Highly managed. My first choice to code with.

C/C++ : Creating a Custom Class

Like any object-oriented programming language, C++ implements the class logical construct to enforce the ideas of encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.

C/C++ : Includes

C and C++ have a robust code library behind them. Add them to your code using the include directive.

Conditional Statements

Here you can review some samples I threw together for demonstrating conditional statements in the few languages I have experience in.

Enjoy!

Unified Modeling Language

If you can't visualize your code logic, you might have a hard time coding a robust application. Use UML to help yourself see the light...

Object-Oriented Programming

Most modern programming languages implement a concept called OOP, or Object Oriented Programming. We're tactile animals, and apparently we like our code to allow us to mentally grasp our logic structures...

Generic Code

Generic code, otherwise known as pseudo-code, is really nothing more than a first approximation of the logic of your program, but written in a very readable manner.
