Evolution of Computer Languages [Infographic]

Jaypee Habaradas — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 14:47:08 +0000

In college, although my major was in Information Systems not Computer Science, my program required me to take a few computer programming classes where I learned the basics of Visual C++, Java, Javascript and PHP. I remember me and a couple of my friends in the same program also had to take a class in Assembly language together with the Computer Engineering students. Boy, was that an ordeal! We were just glad to be able to pass that subject. Hehe

For me the most interesting computer language to learn is PHP but unfortunately, we only had a short period of time to learn it. Anyways, talking about computer languages or programming languages, let us go back down memory lane with an infographic created by the folks of Rackspace about the Evolution of Computer Languages. There are hundreds of computer languages or programming languages but this infographic features the ones that are the most popular and widely.

From the Rackspace blog:

All the cloud applications you use on the Internet today are written in a specific computer language. What you see as a nice icon on the front end looks like a bunch of code on the back end. It’s interesting to see where computer languages started and how they have evolved over time. There are now a series of computer languages to choose from and billions lines of code. Check out the infographic below to see the computer language timeline and read some fun facts about code along the way.

Any of you here who are Computer Science majors, self-taught computer programmers or like me, just took a few computer language/programming language classes? Which computer language or programming language do you like or hate the most? Please share your thoughts.

iOS 4.3.3 Software Update

Jaypee Habaradas — Thu, 05 May 2011 00:40:30 +0000

Apple iOS version 4.3.3 is now available for download. This software update was released to address the controversial location tracking bug that caused privacy concerns amongst iPhone and iPad users. Apple received a lot of heat including a class action lawsuit because of that tracking bug that’s why they released the iOS 4.3.3 software update earlier than scheduled.

Aside from the changes to the crowd-sourced location database cache, the iOS 4.3.3 software update also includes the following:

Reduces the size of the cache
No longer backs the cache up to iTunes
Deletes the cache entirely when Location Services is turned off

iPhone and iPad users can now update their devices to iOS 4.3.3 via iTunes. To perform the update, connect your iOS device (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch) to your computer. When iTunes detects your device, it will inform you about the available software update.

Click on the “Download and Update” button and iTunes will do the rest. If you’ve jailbreaked your device, you should wait for iOS 4.3.3 jailbreaking tools before upgrading. I just upgraded my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3 and the upgrade process was smooth, no issues or problems so far.

Anyone who upgraded their iOS device to version 4.3.3? How did the upgrade process go? Was it smooth or was there any issues? Please share your thoughts.

Google Chrome For Filipinos

Jaypee Habaradas — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 17:42:10 +0000

Got an email invite a few weeks back from Aileen Apolo-de Jesus for an exclusive Google Chrome event. Since I couldn’t make it to the event, I asked Aileen if she could send me a press kit. I got it October 1st but because of my busy schedule and the week-long road trip, I wasn’t able to blog about it right away and ended up forgetting about it. Remembered about it today and decided to share it with you guys even though it’s a bit late.

Andrew McGlinchey, Google Southeast Asia Head of Product Management and Derek Callow, Google Southeast Asia Head of Marketing were both at the event to unveil the new Chrome features made by Filipinos, for Filipinos. They were joined by dozens of bloggers and top names in the Filipino Industry.

Highlights of the event include a video about a survey done by Google Southeast Asia that asked random people the question – “What is a browser?” and unveiling of local Chrome apps/extensions and themes created specifically for Filipinos.

Philippine Google Chrome Extensions
Some of the local Chrome apps unveiled during the event were from local companies and websites like ABS-CBN, Philippine Airlines, SmartBro, Cebu Pacific, Pinoy Exchange and Ayos Dito.

Philippine Google Chrome Themes
Here are some of the local Chrome themes created by Filipino artists:

You can check out the rest of the local Chrome themes from the Google Chrome Philippines theme page. You can also view photos of the event from Aileen’s blog.

Anyone else attended the Google Chrome for Filipinos event? For my Filipino readers, which local app or local theme do you like the most? Please share your thoughts.
