Coding, it\u2019s not old nor obsolete, it\u2019s reality at its best.<\/em><\/p>\n

Whether it’s C++ or object oriented programming, both disciplines feed off one another, combining old tech with modern tech to get the best coding experience.<\/em><\/p>\n

Modern technology has evolved from a distinct set of principles and interactions with interfaces that has formed the core of all devices we use in our world around us today. We are living in the age of information, the core of all our information is harnessed in processing power that we must write and enable for interaction. This is the base level of coding and it is the backbone of all interaction with machines.<\/p>\n

Coding is the backbone of all computerised technology; it affords humans with the capability to interact with the machines interface and to do things like play online blackjack for real <\/a>money<\/a> in <\/a>Canada<\/a>, send emails or create systems.\u00a0 We use coding in all devices from desktop to smart phones. It has formed the basis of all technology and is present everywhere around us in our daily lives.<\/p>\n

Stemming back the 1970\u2019s coding has been propelling technology to the modern principal we are now living in.\u00a0 The following basic overview of coding will explain how the discipline has influenced old and modern technology and how we use it.<\/p>\n

A Blast From The Past<\/h1>\n

C or C++ is the mother to all languages.\u00a0 It gave birth to a whole world of programming possibilities.<\/p>\n

Before object oriented Programming OOP was the norm for coders, raw coding was the only method available and many retro games<\/a> make use of this.\u00a0 OOP as its name suggests is when a programmer moves an object, like a button he intends to use, and places it on his form.\u00a0 In order for this button to perform a task some coding is required.\u00a0 C++ coding initially had no such features and what takes an OOP coder a mere few seconds to complete will take the old style C++ coder much longer.<\/p>\n

Coding In The Modern Age<\/h1>\n

As the demand for better and newer technology changes, so does the software used to drive it.\u00a0 OOP has become the new black.\u00a0 No longer do coders have to spend hours manipulating data or testing their efforts.\u00a0 A simple drag and drop and all the code behind it is seamlessly present.\u00a0 Water always finds the quickest route to its destination so it’s no wonder that coders opt for Object Oriented Programming.<\/p>\n

The Old Ways Never Die<\/h1>\n

It is however not a case of out with the old and in with the new; C++ is still one of the strongest forms of coding.\u00a0 Because this coding is raw it is one of the strongest and most robust code to date.\u00a0 It provides unmatched stability and security.\u00a0 It is widely used in banking software as well as gaming.<\/p>\n

Our World Is Coded<\/h1>\n

If you think coding is for geeks think again.\u00a0 Everything today runs on some microchip<\/a>, which is coded.\u00a0 Our modern lives depend on technology; our entire existence is preconditioned through a world of technological gadgets that we depend on daily.\u00a0 Without programmers who have installed sufficient coding into any electronic device, the device serves no purpose.<\/p>\n

Coding has come a long way since the 1970\u2019s; as humans interact and develop with new technology, so too will the demand for better coding platforms and coding language increase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
