Quiz on JavaScript (ES 2017)
What is Software Design?
It’s a beaten-to-death topic in the software industry, but every time I interact with a group of developers, I am amazed how the majority still has a very conservative mindset about software design. The word code mentioned during a design phase, still causes a number of people to cringe.
Here’s a 5 minute, music-only video that tries to take a shot at, ‘What is Software Design? Is it the Design Document or UML Diagrams or something else?’
Why choose a complex language to learn Programming?
Are you new to programming? Do you know someone who wants to learn programming? Do you want to enjoy programming? This short video will point you in the right direction.
Kotlin – Decompiling Null safety operators – Part I

I was recently solving a programming problem listed in Advent of Code, using Kotlin programming language. After I finished the task, my friend glanced at the code and quipped, “Is question mark a first class citizen in Kotlin?”. I took a step back and looked at the code dispassionately and couldn’t stop smiling. Please take a look at this code snippet in Kotlin.
val tower = resultMap[code.trim()] tower?.occurences = value val weight:Int? = resultMap[code.trim()]?.weight nestedTower?.subTowers?.add(Tower(code.trim()))
You will notice a number of question mark ? operators used here. Kotlin, the new language on the JVM, is getting popular with null safety operators being one of the reasons. The question-mark(?) operator also known as the safe navigation operator is not entirely new to programming languages. It’s a commonly used one in languages like C#, Groovy etc., for a long time. Kotlin introduces this safety operator and extends it with a couple of more operators in the safety front.
To being with, let’s understand the difference between the two types of declarations in Kotlin shown below.
var anInt:Int = 10 var anotherInt:Int? = 20
