TIOBE Programming Community Index 2013

The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. The popular search engines Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings. Observe that the TIOBE index is not about the best programming language or the language in which most lines of code have been written.

TIOBE April Headline: Objective-C's rise in popularity seems to come to a halt

“Before the summer of 2009, Objective-C was a programming language that was hardly known and used. Thanks to the success of the iPhone and later on the iPad, Objective-C started at that date with an incredible rally to the top. This resulted in two consecutive "TIOBE language of the year" awards in 2011 and 2012. However recently the popularity of Objective-C is not rising any more. For the first time since 2009 it loses a position in the index.” [source].

For web developers, the index may give understanding whether their programming skills are up to date. For clients, being familiar with top programming languages can help to realize how modern websites work and which web development company or a particular web programmer to choose for their new web project development.

It is regarded as an intermediate-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. C++ is one of the most popular programming languages implemented on many hardware and operating system platforms. As an efficient compiler to native code, its application domains include systems software, application software, device drivers, embedded software, high-performance server and client applications, and entertainment software such as video games.

JavaScript

JavaScript (JS) was developed in 1995. JS is an interpreted computer programming language originally implemented as part of web browsers so that client-side scripts could interact with the user, control the browser, alter the document content that was displayed. JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language that is dynamic, weakly typed, and has first-class functions. Its syntax was influenced by the language C. JavaScript copies many names and naming conventions from Java, but the two languages are otherwise unrelated and have very different semantics. Embedded into HTML, used in millions of dynamic web pages to validate forms, create cookies, detect browsers and improve the design. JavaScript that is implemented as a part of a web browser to provide enhanced user interfaces.

There are hundreds of website templates available. Many come with logos, graphics, and standard usability features.

Usability is one more aspect that counts in modern website design. Good website navigation and design aesthetics are one of the core features that make up website usability. User-friendly design is when a site is easy to browse around for the users. Users should access and find the information easily on the website. Website usability is to place website items in an appropriate area on a web page and present the information to the user in a clear and obvious way.

Cross-Browser Compatibility

The ability of a website or a web application function well on all modern browsers and platforms is referred to as cross-browser compatibility. The cross-browser compatibility of a website is a an aspect that counts today very much. Modern professionally designed website should be accessible through as many browsers as possible. If a website pages does not work correctly or now viewable in the top modern browsers, it will drive the visitors away once and for all.

Look How Quickly the U.S. Got Fat

obesity-map-GIF-jh.gif

This shows the percentages of the U.S. population medically defined as obese, which means a body mass index of 30 or greater. BMI isn't an ideal metric to evaluate obesity, but it's still what the U.S. standardly uses.

By now everyone knows obesity is a serious issue, but it always helps me to see things moving and in color, and makes the "epidemic" terminology make sense. Meanwhile, through 2012, no state has met the CDC's nationwide goal to reduce obesity to 15 percent. According to a Gallup poll out this morning, here are the least and most obese metropolitan areas:

Facebook Is For Stressed & Drunk People



College students who drink the most and are the most stressed out are the most “emotionally connected” to Facebook, according to a new study. Teenagers may be fleeing Facebook, but the social network remains popular with college students or at least with some of the most freaked-out among them. Undergrads who are anxious or drink a lot have a stronger emotional connection to the site than their calmer, less-drunk peers, according to a new study. Researcher Russell Clayton and his coauthors surveyed 229 undergraduates on how "emotionally connected" they were to Facebook, asking how much they agreed with statements like "Facebook is part of my everyday activity" and "I would be sorry if Facebook shut down." They also measured how anxious the students were, and asked them about their alcohol and marijuana use.
They found that both anxiety and alcohol use were associated with greater connection to Facebook. Anxious people may be too stressed out for face-to-face interaction and use Facebook as a substitute, they speculate. And students who use Facebook a lot may see pictures of their friends drinking and partying, causing them to drink more. Or students who drink a lot may become more attached to Facebook than their sober peers, because they need a place to post drunk pictures of themselves.
Marijuana use was actually associated with less connection to Facebook, possibly because it's riskier to post photos of. The authors note that their undergraduate subjects lived in dorms and "likely had to sneak about to partake of marijuana and thus may be away from their computer or Facebook." So even if Facebook's losing ground among teens, it still has America's many drunk, unhappy young adults to rely on.

What Happens To Your Gmail After You Die, had u ever thought ?

Not many of us like thinking about death — especially our own. But making plans for what happens after you’re gone is really important for the people you leave behind. So today, we’re launching a new feature that makes it easy to tell Google what you want done with your digital assets when you die or can no longer use your account.

The feature is called Inactive Account Manager — not a great name, we know — and you’ll find it on your Google Account settings page. You can tell us what to do with your Gmail messages and data from several other Google services if your account becomes inactive for any reason.

For example, you can choose to have your data deleted — after three, six, nine or 12 months of inactivity. Or you can select trusted contacts to receive data from some or all of the following services: +1s; Blogger; Contacts and Circles; Drive; Gmail; Google+ Profiles, Pages and Streams; Picasa Web Albums; Google Voice and YouTube. Before our systems take any action, we’ll first warn you by sending a text message to your cellphone and email to the secondary address you’ve provided.

We hope that this new feature will enable you to plan your digital afterlife — in a way that protects your privacy and security — and make life easier for your loved ones after you’re gone.
