Ask Ars: Why are some programming languages faster than others? In our look at scientific computing and the continued longevity of Fortran in science and engineering circles, one of the recurring themes in the discussion that followed was performance. One of the big reasons that Fortran remains important is because it's fast: number crunching routines written in Fortran tend to be quicker than equivalent routines written in most other languages. The languages that are competing with Fortran in this space—C and C++—are used because they're competitive with this performance. This raises the question: why? Interpreting versus compiling There are many ways to categorize and define programming languages, according to the style of programming they encourage and features they offer. The divide is not hard; rather, there's a spectrum. This compilation process has several steps. This in-memory representation is then used to drive a code generator, the part that produces executable code. Actually executing the code happens later. Blurring the lines

Against All Odds: Inside Statistics 1. What Is Statistics? Statistics is the art and science of gathering, organizing, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. And without rudimentary knowledge of how it works, people can't make informed judgments and evaluations of a wide variety of things encountered in daily life.

Carnegie Mellon University Probability & Statistics [Enter Course] Overview: This course introduces students to the basic concepts and logic of statistical reasoning and gives the students introductory-level practical ability to choose, generate, and properly interpret appropriate descriptive and inferential methods. In addition, the course helps students gain an appreciation for the diverse applications of statistics and its relevance to their lives and fields of study. We offer two versions of statistics, each with a different emphasis: Probability and Statistics and Statistical Reasoning. One of the main differences between the courses is the path through probability. In-Depth Description There are two versions of the OLI Statistics course: Probability and Statistics and Statistical Reasoning. Unit 1 Exploratory Data Analysis. Unit 2 Producing Data. Unit 3 Probability. Unit 4 Inference. The course is built around a series of carefully devised learning objectives that are independently assessed.

TideSDK | Create multi-platform desktop apps with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript Framework .NET Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Le .NET Framework[1] est un framework pouvant être utilisé par un système d'exploitation Microsoft Windows et Microsoft Windows Mobile depuis la version 5 (.NET Compact Framework). Une version légère et limitée fournie avec un moteur d'exécution fonctionnant à l'intérieur d'un navigateur ou d'un périphérique mobile est disponible sous le nom de Silverlight. La version 3.0 du framework est intégrée à Windows Vista et à la plupart des versions de Windows Server 2008 ou téléchargeable depuis le site de l'éditeur Microsoft. Le framework .NET s'appuie sur la norme Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) qui est indépendante du langage de programmation utilisé. Il a pour but de faciliter la tâche des développeurs en proposant une approche unifiée à la conception d'applications Windows ou Web, tout en introduisant des facilités pour le développement, le déploiement et la maintenance d'applications. Elle est composée des deux principaux blocs :

Apache JMeter - Apache JMeter™ Hadoop Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Hadoop a été créé par Doug Cutting et fait partie des projets de la fondation logicielle Apache depuis 2009. Historique[modifier | modifier le code] En 2004, Google publie un article présentant son algorithme basé sur des opérations analytiques à grande échelle sur un grand cluster de serveurs, le MapReduce, ainsi que son système de fichier en cluster, le GoogleFS. Doug Cutting, qui travaille à cette époque sur le développement de Apache Lucene et rencontre des problèmes similaires à ceux de la firme de Mountain View, décide alors de reprendre les concepts décrits dans l'article pour développer sa propre version des outils en version Open Source, qui deviendra le projet Hadoop. Architecture[modifier | modifier le code] Hadoop Distributed File System[modifier | modifier le code] Une architecture de machines HDFS (aussi appelée cluster HDFS) repose sur deux types de composants majeurs : MapReduce[modifier | modifier le code]

Selenium - Web Browser Automation Angling to develop for Google Glass? Google gives some insight If you’re looking for a taste of what it will be like to develop for Google Glass, the company posted a video demonstrating the hardware and a little bit of the API on Thursday. Timothy Jordan, a senior developer advocate at Google, gave a talk at SXSW in early March that lasted just shy of an hour and gave a look into the platform. Google Glass bears more similarity to the Web than the Android mobile operating system, so developing for it is simpler than creating an Android application. Jordan also shows how users can interact with items that crop up using the API. The talk also lays out some overarching design principles for the system, including “don’t get in the way”—Jordan specifies that the interface is in the users’ field of view but off to the side, not in the way of their line of sight—and “keep it timely,” imploring developers to work with data from “the last few months or year.”
