    Study Notes

    3C Categories in Programming Languages

    • Procedural Programming Languages: Focus on a sequence of commands to achieve outputs; examples include C, C++, Java, Pascal, and BASIC. Procedures organize code into manageable segments.
    • Functional Programming Languages: Centered around mathematical functions and their outputs; features reusable code modules. Notable examples are Scala, Erlang, Haskell, Elixir, and F#.
    • Object-Oriented Programming Languages (OOP): Treats software as a collection of objects with attributes and methods for reuse and scalability. Common languages include Java, Python, PHP, C++, and Ruby.
    • Scripting Languages: Automate tasks and handle dynamic content; prevalent in web development. Examples include PHP, Ruby, Python, Bash, Perl, and Node.js.
    • Logic Programming Languages: Use facts and rules to dictate computer decision-making rather than direct instructions. Examples are Prolog, Absys, Datalog, and Alma-0.
    • Front-end vs. Back-end Languages: Front-end focuses on user interactions and visualization (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React), while back-end handles server-side data and application logic (JavaScript, PHP, Java, Python, Ruby, C#).
    • Full-stack Development: Combines front-end and back-end knowledge to manage all aspects of software development.
    • High-level vs. Low-level Languages: High-level languages are user-friendly and abstracted from hardware, while low-level languages (like machine code and assembly) are closer to machine language and more efficient.

    3E Program Development Life Cycle (PDLC)

    • Overview: A structured approach to developing quality software, characterized by iterative phases that allow for adjustments based on feedback.
    • Stages of PDLC:
      • Analysis: Identifying requirements and establishing clear objectives for development.
      • Development: Coding according to specifications, often the most time-consuming phase.
      • Testing: Verifies software functionality through various tests (System, Unit, Integration, Functional, Performance, and Acceptance Testing). Ensures quality and compliance with requirements.
      • Documentation: Creates manuals and technical documents based on prior design materials to assist stakeholders and enhance usability.
      • Deployment: Transitioning software to user environments, making it operational.
      • Maintenance: Ongoing support includes security updates, user assistance, and feature enhancements to adapt to user needs and emerging threats.
