hey guys, it's William and this is my website.
I always wanted to write something about the learning of programming language. Well, I still remember when I first started learning program I bury myself in the library reading or kinds of book but most of the book give you really don't know article about syntax few books give you really interesting stories about the usage of certain programming language.
But the frustrating part is the books about syntax are too deep and too boring while the interesting book about stories too shallow how much you can't learn much more while reading a lot of books.
That's the exact reason why I start a YouTube channel and built this website to share with you guys, I hope you can learn programming language in a fun and instructive way while I (hopefully) give you a deeper insight of the brilliant design of every programming language.
don't worry, we will cover most parts of the usage as well as the syntax of programming language, but it will be fun.
take apples official Swift documentation as an example, when they explain variable
var friendlyWelcome = "Hello!"
friendlyWelcome = "Bonjour!"
// friendlyWelcome is now "Bonjour!"
they give you something like this.
they will give you a lot of details about the syntax and the usage of variable, but they will never tell you why they use var
instead of let
or why they use =
instead of ==
or why they use ;
instead of .
. And most importantly, they will never tell you the real world usage of the syntax and the reason why they design the syntax in this way.
I am a software engineer and I have been programming for more than 10 years, I have been using a lot of programming languages and I have been teaching programming language for more than 5 years. I have will tackle all the questions above and I will give you a deeper insight of the design of programming language and I will give you a lot of real world usage of the syntax.
Without further ado, let’s get started.
