Ten reasons why every programmer should learn C

Monday, November 27th, 2006

每个程序员都应该学习C的十个理由
引自：http://www.jubling.com/ten-reasons-why-every-programmer-should-learn-c.html
Every programmer should learn C during their programming career. Its benefits are to numerous to ignore. Not only will it open many more job opportunities, but it will teach you more about computers as a whole.

1) C is lower level then other programming languages (C++, Java). Programming at a lower level allows you to further your understanding of computers, as a whole.

2) Device drivers and operating systems are written exclusively in C. Now, you may never write a device driver or an operating system, but what if you are ever required to modify one?

3) What if you ever want to get a job programming microcontrollers? They are programmed in C. Are you going to limit your possible list of jobs because you didn't want to learn a new language?

4) C programs are smaller and faster then any other program created in a different language. Sometimes your program needs that speed boost that only C can give it.

5) If you have learned C, you can learn any modern programming language. The reason behind this is that all modern programming languages are based on C (Java, C++, C#, etc).

6) Because C has been around for many years, it has a large community and collective code base. This allows you to quickly and efficiently implement new algorithms or functions that have been programmed before.

7) C is the language of the Open Source community. The Open Source poster child, Linux, was coded in C. If you know C, you can participate in and contribute to numerous Open Source communities like Source Forge.

8) C is the only language that teaches you what pointers really are. C# and Java skip the subject completely. It is pointers that give C its power.

9) C is still the most commonly required language for programming jobs. It is well worth your time to get C under your belt.

10) Anything that has a microprocessor in it has support for C. From your microwave to your cell phone, C powers technology.

Friendship

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

The only unsinkable ship is FRIENDSHIP!

-Ancient Proverb
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
-Latin Proverb

A good friend is hard to find, harder to lose, and impossible to forget.

-Anonymous

Money might make you wealthy, but friends make you rich.

-Anonymous

A friend is a gift you give yourself.

-Robert Louis Stevenson
A friend is a second self.

A good friend is the nearest relation.

The best mirror is a friend's eye.

True friendship lasts forever.

When a friend asks, there is no "tomorrow".

Better without gold than without friends.

I think making friends is a very important part of my life. Friendship very important to me. I don't want to lose touch to any friend. And I really want to make friends as many as possible, make one or two best friends. I think I can try my best when my friend is in trouble. I think it's the point of friendship. I believe that our friendship will be an unsinkable ship!

Two Unusual Days

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

On the night of three days ago, when I am in bed, I suddenly heard a strange sound, it came from my bed."There are some living things under my bed!"I thought. What are they?mice?insects?Oh, that was terrible!I quickly went to Mother's room, and asked her to catch it, but she said nothing and went on sleeping!
Yesterday when I was using my computer, the computer suddenly stopped working! As if there is a power cut!But the fan is still working!
After rebooting the computer, the system had no record!It was very strange, there should be a record, but in fact there was no record!
After a while, when I open a folder, the window has no menus, no tools, no status!It was strange! I had no way to fix it, so I use the system reduction, luckily the menus, tools and status came back.
I thought perhaps there are some viruses, so yesterday I checked my computer and found no virus! Last night when I was in bed I could no sound!
Don't you think they are very strange?
