The Power Of Linux OS

Linux operating systems have gained a lot of popularity in the recent years. While Linux operating system is available under general public license and is available freely. The Linux kernel that first came up as a project work of a student in the early 1990’s has now become a worldwide success. The Linux kernel can be modified as and when required and all you need to know for this is any of the programming languages such as c, python etc. The major advantages of Linux Operating System are:-

Free software

Linux kernel is available at complete free of cost and most of the applications that come with Linux are also available freely.

Stability

Linux operating systems are much more stable than the others. Even if an application in Linux crashes which is itself very rare, then generally no harm is done to the kernel itself and the problem can be solved just by re installing that particular application.freely.

Security

Till date no virus threats have been reported that has affected the Linux or the UNIX kernel. There is no need of installing any antivirus programs and still remain protected while you use Linux.

Open Source Software

Linux is open source software whose code is available to all the users worldwide and you may choose to debug any problem that you may find out or add any module that is necessary to suit your specific needs.

Choice (freedom)

With a Linux running on your system you have the power to control each and every single thing on your computer right from the way it looks to the way it functions. These are some of the basic advantages of a Linux operating system. It gives the power in your hands to change around the working of your operating system according to your needs and demands. Due to this feature Linux which once started as a project work of a student has now attained great popularity among the users worldwide. If you are really want to want to have OS that you can change behavior as you want, then Linux is best for you. And if you are not you can choose the other OS which also cost more than Linux and have no support to modify the OS.

Why to Learn C

Why to Learn C

A simple question in my mind. Why to learn C. Today maximum of the IT companies use Object oriented language as for eg, JAVA, Python , .NET , PHP and many more. Then why should we learn C and waste our time, better we will go for the Object oriented language that are in market demand. If you also have the same question in mind then give your little time to read. Today I am going to share some of my experience and understanding about C. I will describe in details about the benefits of learning C in deep.

Mother of all language

We all have been hearing about this whether in our schools, colleges, corporates etc. that C is considered as the mother of all language and also why is it the language one should be learning but when asked a reason behind considering it like this, the typical replies is just that ‘as it forms the base for you as a programmer, and you will be comfortable learning other languages after that’. But is it the only reason being C is the mother language or there are some other reasons as well. Let’s find out! I will start with the advantages a person carries if he is known to C language. If you talk to person who has been a master in C language or he is very sound when it comes to write a code in C, then he is going to be very certain that he knows how a computer works. To be honest, if an individual is very happy with developing some really cool apps and also really satisfied with what he does, there is no need to learn C language but incase you want to excel whether in the field of research or somehow wants to do projects that requires working with the machine as a whole, you got to understand that C is the primary language one should focus in. If we talk about 21st century itself, majority of software infrastructure is powered by code in C language. From Linux kernal to VMs, servers, Interpreters of most of the language you work on, drivers and a lot more is powered by C

Features of C

• It is robust lang whose rich setup of built in functions and operator can be used to write any complex program.
• Program written in c are efficient due to several variety of data types and powerful operators.
• The c compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with the feature of high level language. Therefore it is well suited for writing both system software and business package.
• There are only 31 keywords, several standard functions are available which can be used for developing prog.
• C language is well suited for structured programming, this requires user to think of a problems in terms of function or modules or block. A collection of these modules make a program debugging and testing easier.
• C language has its ability to extend itself. We can continuously add our own functions to the library with the availability of the large number of functions.

Carrier Opportunities

Now, coming to how can C language can help you in your career is an important point to take. So, if you are someone who is intimidated to become a very important person in an industry who has been playing crucial role in some big projects like working on the in-depth code of a web browser or working on improving the working of an interpreter, you need to understand that you always have to start with a very good understanding of C language. Also, if you are willing to become a part of the biggest open source community, yes, C language is important. If we talk about some big developers in the world, where eventually if you want to be as well, you should be known to the fact that it is almost compulsory to know ‘how to read an assembler’ which is only possible if you know C. Coming to the point which everyone makes, ‘why you should always start with C?’. The main reason being, yes it gets much more simpler for any programmer to learn any language after going through C language because the concepts used in C language are being used by every other language out there, this is exactly like you need to understand one level of abstraction below the one you are already known to. Also, according to many studies, it has been found that programmers with a understand in C language tends to take less time in learning any other language then programmers who are not known to C.
