Building Server-Side Web Language Processors


For this entry the article is from our teacher, this article is called “Building Server-Side Web Language Processors”, the article wants to explain that it is possible to build a language processor in a web environment, the importance of adapting our work to a web interface and the different areas which need to be considered when trying to do this ourselves (because it can get tricky).

The article tells us that developing a language processor for web its not easy, it has a lot of challenges, not only the challenges we face while making a regular programming language, but also the challenges that come with having a web development, for example the handling of the HTTP, security, adaptability, the specifics of each browser, etcetera. There are several tools and practices which we can use to deal with these problems and overall it is a very laborious task.

It is important to know the inner works of how a web language implementer works, the reading emphasizes a lot in this, and it is recommended for a language implementer to have scripting features, our teacher Ariel also gives us several strategies for building a web language processors such as to use the Common Gateway Interface, Build everything over web technology already used and known and To program your own server.

Web development is a very interesting area and I think that we as engineers have a great area of opportunity into learn web development, as it could be one of the bigger areas of our career, due to the high demand of web pages and specific applications that would require some sort of back end development for the web services, it is really interesting because the purpose of the server could be very different between some projects and we could use many interesting technologies to develop that services.

At the start the authors speak about how Virtual Machines and intermediate langauges are important nowadays and how some of the trending technologies that exist in the media and why people have found them very usefull. It is mentioned why these type of technolgies are becoming a trending, the authors consider this is because the following characteristics: portability, compactness, efficiency, security, interoperability and flexibility, which we can agreed are things we are expecting in technologies nowadays. In the next section of the paper, it is explained the architecture of the common language infrastucture, in which explain every elements that includes de CLR. To resummy this article. we could said that is basically it's purpose is to give an introduction to the concepts and elements of an intermediate language, which is a very complex and generic language...

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has been one of my favorite book of the year, I typically enjoy the most of fantasy books and of imaginary worlds and tales, so I found very intriguing the story behind the book. Honestly as I was reading, I found many unexpected turn of events on what direction I thought the novel was going to take, which obviously maintained me reading it because I was never certain what was going to happen, one that impressed me the most, was at the beginning, although I did not know much what the novel was going to be about I was very surprised when the earth was blown so quick and without much hassle just at the beginning of the story. Another thing that I liked about the novel was its humor, it was sometimes quite subtle or maybe sometimes it was unintended but one of my favorites was when they were bothering Arthur to move so they could demolish his house a build a bypass and then the same happens but with earth, they destroy to build an intergalactic by...
