How many programming languages have you used?
Over the course of my programming experience I have used approximately 10 different programming languages. Some of these languages I have more experience with than others.
In your experience, what is the most difficult part of learning a new programming language?
Learning the syntax is the most difficult. I believe that most programming languages are structured the same. So once you understand the structure and concept of a programming language it is much easier to learn new languages and it is more than anything a matter of learning different syntax.
Have you ever found that you have accidentally implemented a function that is in the library already?
No, but I have never really checked this out.
What do you find interesting about the article?
The entire article was interesting to me. I enjoy reading about the theories applied behind the code broker system Code broker seems like a very useful software as discussed in this article.
What do you find not interesting about the article?
Nothing.
Do you have any ideas how this research could / should be extended based on your own knowledge and experience?
I think one way that the research could be extended is by exploring how the end user could give input to or customize the code broker system, and other similar systems.
