I'm considering starting a journal, where every month I post an article that analyzes some aspect of programming subjectively. The article will consider a problem, analyze it in depth, and delve into a solution with snippets. All the while, it will hopefully teach readers about some more advanced theoretical concepts in programming, given that the reader has the fundamental basics of the language covered. Simultaneously, the article will explain the code to those that are just beginning to learn the language and implicitely define any vital terminology and mathematical concepts above the level of Calculus.
I am not claiming, in the slightest, that I am one of the top programmers here. I definitely don't believe that. However, I know I have information that I can share and hopefully help others with.
If you like my idea, and would honestly like to see it in action... I need your genuine response to this idea. I really don't feel like wasting my time because a couple of people thing it's "neat" or "useful". If people feel they could benefit from this, please let me know! I'd be more than happy to help some people out with this monthly food.
I have attached a poll at the top for the language which you think I should consider writing the articles for. I have considered the languages Python and C, because I think I may enjoy writing it more. Doing a language like PHP would consider practical applications of these programs, more than it would actually incorporate theoretical concepts of mathematics and computer science. This, unfortunately, strays away from the purpose of these articles. You can find documentation for languages like PHP anywhere, that's not the point of this.
C and Python can both be looked at very closely. C is the industries' most commonly used language two years consecutively, and a vital language for any person interested in programming, to know. I'd also expect more people here to know it than any other language.
Python, although the more lesser acknolweded, is the steam train of programming. You can never stop finding useful imports or ways to approach a problem. A while ago, I posted on another forum "500 ways to program numbers 1 to 10", a thread where the main goal was to come up with as many ways to output the numbers 1 to 10 in a programming language of your choice. About 80 of those posts were by me, and almost every one was written in Python, approaching the problem differently and uniquely each time.
The advantage of Python over C is we can also dive into more concepts like object-oriented programming with inheritence, metaclasses, functions that modify themselves, and the list goes on. I'm just a bit iffy about doing Python because I'm afraid not as many will tune in or benefit from the endeavour.
Please do tell me what you honestly think.
