Top Five Best Programming Languages For Beginners.

Most people think coding is not their cup of tea but it is just a myth, everyone can learn to code provided that they follow the right path. In today's world everything is getting digital and knowing a bit of coding will surely give you an edge over others. Coding is not what you think it is. Its not just sitting in front of a computer for hours and typing it also involves thinking and implementation. In simple words "its fun" once you get used to it.

If you are thinking of starting to learn to code you must have this question in your mind "Which language should I start with?", because there are lots and lots of options to choose from. The first language you choose to learn play a crucial role because it can go either way, if you choose a tough language having complex concepts and syntax you will end up scratching your head and eventually you will lose interest in coding. So it becomes very important to choose the right language based on your interests and needs.

Here are the top 5 languages.

Scratch 

Developed by MIT Media Labs Scratch is a Graphical Programming Tool and not exactly a language because you don't really write any code, there are blocks provided for every task and you just have to put them together to make a certain program. Its a great tool for beginners to get a quick idea on how coding works and develop algorithmic thinking. Although you can build some cool things using scratch but if you keep on using it you will eventually get to know about its limitations and then you you might want to move on to learning some high level languages. Get started here. See tutorials here.

Don't get scared by the term high level they are as easy as Scratch but requires some patience and remembrance . :)

Python

This language created by Guido van Rossum is not only easy to learn but also the most popular amongst the developers. Just write print("Hello, World!") and your hello world program is ready. It teaches you about important concepts of programming such as indentation and modularity. Using its large number of frameworks you can do almost anything, for example - want to create web apps use Django, want to build desktop app use Tkinter, for image recognition you have OpenCV, for making games PyGame and the list goes on and on. Most of the big companies such as Google, Facebook, Mozilla use python.

Javascript 

Javascript was developed by Netscape Communications in the 90s. It is an untyped language which is interpreted (not compiled). Those using JS say that "You only need a browser and any text editor (of your choice), to learn JS." All modern browsers support JS and you can also type JS command directly into the browser's console. JS is mainly used for making interactive websites and webapps. It makes the Frontend of almost all websites. But its use is not only limited to frontend, with the help of framework such as Node.js you can also do Backend designing and Phonegap framework eases the task of making mobile apps using JS. Although its a new language its gaining popularity due to its simplicity both amongst developers and also in the tech industry. Here are some links to learn js - Link 1, Link 2.

C++ 

Designed by Bjarne Stroustrup during the 1980s and since then and until now it is widely used. It is a general purpose programming language with object oriented features likes classes. These things make it popular amongst developers and also competitive programmers. You might have some difficulty picking it up at first but if you keep practicing you will have an in depth understanding of how things work. Start learning here - Link 1, Link 2.

Go 

Designed by Google, Go is an open source programming language (just like python) which was launched in 2009 and since then it has gained a lot of popularity in the coding world. Since its relatively new so its has only a limited community and not much in demand. Having said that its a good language for the first timers. It is easier to learn different languages once you know any one of them so do think much and get started. Learn here - Link 1, Link 2.

The affiliate url which you will receive will be a long one, you can use URL shortners to shrink them.

• As most of the affiliate products come with some discounts, so you can share your link as a discount coupon with people. This will attract more people.

• Connecting with the right audience. Make sure you share the link of every product with the right category of people. For example - A software engineer will show less interest in sports equipments and more interest in electronic products.

• Don't join too many affiliate programs otherwise they all will become unmanageable and you will feel burdened.

Neuralink : Elon Musk Planning to Connect Human Brains with Computers

Source : CNN Money

Artificial organs and machines have been into existence for quite some time now and they have helped lots of people in living a longer and healthier life. Common examples are the pacemakers and the dialysis machine, but now the CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, Elon Musk has launched another project named Neuralink which is aimed at merging Artificial Intelligence with human brains.

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence is a field of Computer Science which is focused on giving human like intelligence and thinking capabilities to a computer so that it can do tasks such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.

So what exactly is Neuralink or Neural Lace?

 

Neuralink is another venture of Elon Musk (as if Tesla and SpaceX wasn't enough) which is aimed at creating micro-computer implants, putting them into the brain, connecting them with an external computer and communicating with them wirelessly.

Why did Elon Musk come up with such an idea?

The field of A.I. is advancing day by day which makes computers more smart and powerful. This could lead to humans left behind by a lot. To keep up with the advancement Elon Musk came up with such an idea.

Possibilities and Advantages

With the help of Neuralink chip placed into your brain you can download your thoughts and even upload them or send them to someone else. The thinking capabilities and processing speed of the brain would be improved. We will be able to operate machines just by our brains. It would also help people in curing brain diseases such as  epilepsy, Parkinson’s and even depression. All these tasks would be done just by sending some low powered electric signals to the brain.

Risks and Disadvantages

Putting a computer chip into the brain requires a surgery on the most sensitive part of the body, the head which involves the skull and the brain. Keeping this in mind not many people would be willing to take such risks and volunteer for this project. It would not be cost effective either.

What will be the future of this technology? No one knows. For now it is just an idea and this dream of Sci-Fi fiction turning into reality does seem to come true anytime soon. Still a lot of research has to be done, some prototypes has to be made and some failures has to be faced, but the day this technology will come into existence it will be a big milestone for the mankind. 

Do post your expectations, ideas and possibilities for the Neuralink project in the comment section below.
