Lecture 26 | Programming Paradigms (Stanford)

Lecture by Professor Jerry Cain for Programming Paradigms (CS107) in the Stanford University Computer Science department. In this lecture, Prof. Cain lectures on the Python programming language in relation to XML processing and the internet.

Programming Paradigms (CS107) introduces several programming languages, including C, Assembly, C++, Concurrent Programming, Scheme, and Python. The class aims to teach students how to write code for each of these individual languages and to understand the programming paradigms behind these languages.

did that course make sense? yes no? ok??

Once again, I have to say Standford is the best, for having the courage to pubicly teach online and on youtube such up to date themes. And Also Python rules, and its popularity is true, due to their value.

@Neskiairti

In structured C programming the only way a client could change data was it if was declared 'extern.' In OO-programming the client can change data if the implementer forgets to declare his data to be private. The latter is more likely to happen. That's my take on it.

[Neskiairti]

not sure how 'object oriented language' makes something prone to bugs :p bad coding makes code prone to bugs... also, alcohol.

Python is a scripting language very easy to use, indentation is its sintax primary rule, of course if someone wants to be more professional C is the way to go, its a small language and has many tricks along the way. Its a shame has it been left behind except in linux since the kernel is built upon it, its the mother of languages.basics decision, cycles, functions, threads, forks, sockets, the rest is small things (malloc, realoc, calloc memcp, strings, etc)

@sergio1020881 Python rules? I think Python sucks! It is prone to bugs though being an Object Oriented Language.The only thing I admire in Python is that it'is an Open Source. The lecture is very uninteresting to follow. I hope I can get something better after being referred to view this particular video for help. I lost enthusiasm for the teaching though.
