Once upon a time, at a large mountainside there was an eagle nest with 4 large eagle eggs inside.

One day, an earthquake rocked the mountain causing one of the eggs to roll down to a chicken farm, located in the valley below.

The chickens knew that they must protect the eagle egg. Eventually, the eagle egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born.

Being chickens, the chickens raised the eagle to be a chicken. The eagle loved his home and family but it seemed his spirit cried out for more.

One day, the eagle looked to the skies above and noticed a group of mighty eagles soaring. ”Oh,” the eagle cried, “I wish I could soar like those birds.”

The chickens roared with laughter, “You cannot soar like those. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar.” The eagle continued staring at his real family up above, dreaming that he could be like them.

Each time the eagle talked about his dreams, he was told it couldn’t be done.

That was what the eagle learned to believe. After time, the eagle stopped dreaming and continued to live his life as a chicken.

Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.

Moral: You become what you believe you are. If you ever dream to become an eagle, follow your dreams, not the words of chickens.

Object oriented programming

by | Jan 28, 2014 | Others

Lately I’ve seen a lot of people struggling with this concept and being the very base of modern programming I think I should talk about it.
OOP, formally called Object Oriented Programming it’s a paradigm that helps the programmer to express himself in a more natural way with concepts he already knows from daily life. This also dramatically increases the level of understanding of the code written, maintainability and further code addition.

Basically you have classes with methods, properties and member variables to designate objects. This principle is called encapsulation. Methods are functions through which the user interacts with the object. Note the difference between properties and member variables. Though it’s language dependent, a property often designates a variable with GET and SET (mutator and accessor functions) and does not have memory allocated on its own however the associated filed does and a member variable or field designates a class variable. Look at the example below:
[gist id=8675207 file=OOP]

We also have at least two special functions(methods) in a class, those are the constructor and destructor, their role is to initialize the object(allocate memory in non managed languages – C++ and members initialization) and to destroy the object(free allocated memory in non managed languages, not really used in managed languages) respectively. The compiler provides an empty constructor and destructor by default, they don’t anything. Pay attention that a constructor has the same name as the class and it does not return anything. The destructor has a “~” in front and has the same name as the class. The destructor makes no sense in managed languages because the garbage collector is in charge of when an object is destroyed.

Another principle of OOP is security. Often we use access modifiers to accomplish this (private, protected, public and internal in C#).

  • public – can be accessed by anyone in or outside the class.
  • protected – can be accessed by anyone in the same class or in a class that inherits the containing class.
  • private – can be accessed by anyone in the same class.
  • internal (C# specific) – can be accessed only from the same assembly, but not other assemblies. Java has this by default in packaging.

As I already stated abstraction was the main reason of OOP, because a more natural, faster and easier way to code was needed. Programmers needed to avoid “spaghetti code” to make their programs easier to understand and easier to maintain. I will talk about inheritance a bit later as it is a vast subject and it’s language dependent(C++ allows native multiple inheritance while C# and Java require Interface to accomplish this).

Will talk about polymorphism, abstract classes, overloading and templates on a future article.
Finally some of the OOP languages out there are: C++ (C is not), PHP, Java, C#, Ruby, Python etc.

Started a blog!

by | Jan 8, 2014 | Others

Hello there!

My name is Emanuel Scirlet, some of you may know me as emi and I am Computer Science student though I involved myself in various projects.
Some of you may well know me from the Data-Soft project or from the day to day to life, either way welcome to my blog!

First thing I want to say is that it has been an interesting year, I gained a lot, I lost here and there but definitely learned a lot.
I would say that the Data-Soft project was the main project last year, not only that I had the chance to meet great people but also a chance to know more about myself.
Though we had a great team and we did really great things together the project came to an end mainly due to the fact that people didn’t have enough time anymore to dedicate to the project.
Probably the most important thing I learned the way is that is extremely important to pass on knowledge and help create a better place for ourselves(yep it’s me talking)
Personally I had the chance to play with C# and some really advanced C++ and Windows APIs along the way, but in a fun environment without stress and deadlines. I strongly believe you really need to enjoy what you are doing in order to succeed!

So why did I start this blog?

Well, because I want to pass on some of my knowledge, give away opportunities for other student from around world and tips for rookies.

I will not be talking much about me in this post, more info about me you can find in About me section.
Of course if you have a project you want advice or questions do not hesitate to contact me, I’ll be glad to help!

So what will be covering on this blog?

Mainly tech subjects: algorithms, developing apps, tipps, main tech events, opportunities for students and much more!
As of today the area of languages covered will be C/C++, C#, Java but that is subject of change(RoR maybe included, ASP..)

Occasionally guest stars will have a chance to write an article on a subject on my blog. Guest stars include other students from universities across the globe, people I know, people I worked with and last but not least IT Professionals working out there in the most prestigious companies giving you insights.

As for the language I will be writing on this blog is English mainly because the blog is dedicated to students across the globe but posts in German or Romanian are not excluded.

I really have some great opportunities for you, students at CS!

 

I am looking forward to get in touch with you!
