Where to Begin? Lets Start With PHP Basic Syntax. PHP is leaps and bounds above where it started. It’s a modern programming language that has Object Oriented capabilities.

Let’s look at the memory to see what just happened. For the scalar variable int “a”, 4 bytes of memory were reserved. If you look at the representation below, you’ll see that int “a” was in fact assigned 4

IT’s The Same Old STuff Each Day. Not Really. Daily work is always different for an IT leader. No two days are alike and that’s what makes it fun sometimes and stressful other times. There are dozens of recurring daily tasks, but we’ll just cover 5 in this article. Purchase Requests The email that I absolutely love to get is the Purchase Request. Everything always runs smoothly. IT gets exactly what they want, finance approves it no questions asked and purchasing creates that Purchase Order promptly. I hope you can sense the sarcasm. I get a minimum of five PR’s
Are you ready to end your career? Test scenario: for the next 3 months bring only problems to your boss. Talk about all of the imperfections in the company.

Hindsight is 20/20 When you’re a first time developer, everything is exciting and scary at the same time. You look at your Senior Software Engineering counterparts and wonder if you’ll ever make it to that level. It takes a few years to understand the ins-and-outs of the business, but once you’re there you realize how hard on yourself you actually were. These are the 10 Programming Tips I wish someone told me. 1. You Can’t Learn Everything You don’t know what you don’t know. It seems like you can just keep studying and you’ll know everything there is to know
The reasons are simple I worked with hundreds of developers over the last 15 years. The one thing that they all had in common, myself included, is stress. I was about 5 years into my development career when I felt so stressed that I knew it would soon start affecting my health. I was able to reflect and cope with it, mainly through books such as “Don’t Stress the Small Stuff and It’s All Small Stuff” and “The Mindfulness Solution.” Those 2 books changed my life. There are many legitimate reasons for developer burnout: Deadlines Legacy Applications New Programming Language/Framework

It’s something that is such a simple concept, yet everywhere I turn, I run into a roadblock with developers trying to create the next Picasso instead of the simple coloring book. It seems like these articles are everywhere. How is it that it doesn’t stick with developers? It could be that these articles are catered towards me and not to the all-encompassing developer community. I don’t think that’s 100% true. So, why is it that developers hear it but
Sometimes it’s better to think highly. C is a great programming language if you want to work closer with the machine. A couple of decades ago, C was considered a high-level programming language; look at how times have changed. We’ve been babied with programming languages like Java, C#, JavaScript, PHP, Python, you name it. You can pull a car using the frame machine, but we’re going to do it with a hammer and a chain. Why? Just to prove that we can. There are other reasons for studying C; the primary being the speed of the program. Understanding how everything
