Waving flags and shouting for basic language

Active address ： Graduation season · The technique of attack er

It's hot in summer , We welcome the graduation season in the heat wave , This is farewell , It is also the beginning of a new starting point , As an old programmer who has worked for many years , I have nothing to give away , Just a shot from the bottom of my heart , May all students , Be able to be on the stage of your dreams , Break through thorns , Fly freely .

A long time ago , Programmers are hard work , Because at that time, most software used C language-written ,Microsoft Visual Basic Not yet , Not to mention the present Java,Android,C#,J# And so on , Programmers don't just have to learn everything about the new operating system , Be familiar with Widows Provide thousands of different application programming interface functions .

now , many Windows The program is still C language-written , Because of the diversity of languages, vernacular has developed , Programmers can use C、C++、Pascal、Basic、Java、python And other languages , Instead of sticking to C Language . Of course , There are many people who don't understand , Now there are so many intelligent languages , And it is extremely convenient to use , such as Python, It can be said that you can get started in a few days , You can write the program in a month or so .Android,IOS There is basically no threshold , It doesn't mean that you should have a high degree , High IQ, etc , A lot of junior high school students , Senior high school student , Even people who have never touched the program again , Just work hard , I can also get started quickly . In that case , So why do we have to study so hard Java, especially C Language or C++ Well ？ and , Universities should also take these courses as major courses , Some people may not do such a job for a lifetime , They may do Android or IOS Development , And never C/C++; This is a good question , I guess many of my friends have thought about this problem , But I haven't thought about it seriously , Actually , When you have been doing research and development for many years , Wrote a lot of code , You will really understand , Why should universities put basic languages such as C/C++, As a major , Although it is particularly difficult to learn , Although intelligent language has been in the limelight in society or employment , But the original intention of the university has not changed , There is only a slight adjustment .

The above figure shows the statistics of the cloud tutorial center found on the Internet .

It is not difficult to understand , In a word ,“ The foundation cannot be lost ”. Why? , Now is an era of rapid development , Computer language is changing with each passing day , be rash and too much in haste , big data , Artificial intelligence has brought great liberation to mankind , It's not just ideological emancipation , It's more about life and work .

Some people say that now as long as you are willing , Everyone can be a programmer , Although it sounds exaggerated , But it really reflects today's society , It shows that the threshold for programmers is too low . As long as there is a little foundation or even no foundation , After three months to six months' training by the training institution , You can officially take the post , Do development , Become a real programmer . The training institutions are all popular in today's society , Who can get a job quickly , They will not weigh the overall situation of the country , And will not lead the development of the country . Their purpose is simple , Fast track , employment .

That's good , Let's reflect on , Now more and more people are forced by the pressure of work , Approaching popular languages such as Android、IOS、PHP、Javascript etc. , Close to the hot industry . And basic languages such as C/C++ Gradually cold , This is the corner we ignore , Technical fault . But I don't know , The bottom and pillar of these popular industries and languages are these basic languages , Just imagine , If one day , The world is full of Android、IOS、PHP、Javascript The engineer , No, C/C++ The engineer , What will the world be like , What is the state of Technology .

As a programmer , Too distant an assessment is somewhat unrealistic , I will tell you about the changes that have taken place in the past 20 years , The change of my single eye dye , Ten or twenty years ago , Basic language has laid the foundation for us , The bottom layers of many platforms are built by basic languages , Slowly a new language was born , Fire up , More and more friends are learning new languages , You may not care too much about basic language , A year 、 Two years 、 Three years … That's it , inadvertently , Basic language has become a small corner , Two years ago , When I changed my job , Interviewed several more companies , Let me deeply realize , There are faults , It is the fault between high-level language and basic language , In order to live , A lot of peers are trained by training institutions and then enter the post , Of course, there are a lot of people who have graduated from college , But you can imagine , In order to get a good job after graduation , Many students begin to learn and further study the popular languages in the society at school , Hot majors . such as Android,IOS,Python etc. , A lot of friends C/C++ I've only heard of it . thus , Stepping into society , After stepping onto the work platform , If you encounter the work of modifying the underlying , They will have a hard time . A company , An enterprise should develop with the development of society , Therefore, the upgrading of products , The adjustment and innovation of technology cannot be avoided , But the basic language has been deeply rooted in these enterprises , How easy it is to waver , That's what happened , Newcomers are familiar with popular languages , Yes C/C++ Little is known , And familiar with C/C++ There are very few programmers , Many companies or enterprises for development and product progress , Willing to spend a lot of money looking for bridge elites who can connect the two , But there are too few such people .

This fault really exists , And it will slowly grow larger , Old and new is an irrefutable truth , But not the vast majority of enterprises can decisively do shabby , This is a worrying question . Maybe some friends say , Put the basic language , Or the core of the basic language, and the underlying language will be written again soon , Maybe it's a good idea , But I don't know , How much work it takes to rewrite it , How long is the cycle , Even if the workload and cycle are not a problem , Can the performance meet the requirements , Can the experience meet the needs , Many problems require us to do a lot of evaluation and experiments .

Maybe I'm just worrying , I wish my worries were unnecessary , I believe I am not the only one who saw this fault , Maybe I'm not the only one thinking about the same problem . so , I put these concerns in words , I hope more people can see that more people pay attention to . Turn my worries into unnecessary . otherwise , Maybe there will really be the sadness of the program world .

so , On the occasion of graduation , I hold the flag alone , bang the drum for sb , Hope to make more people pay attention to basic language , Begin to understand and learn basic language .
