What is coding? Hybrid Translators A hybrid translator is a combination of the Interpreter and Compiler. A popular hybrid programming language is  Java . Java first compiles your source code to an intermediate format known as the  Bytecode . The Bytecode is then interpreted and executed by a runtime engine also known as a Virtual machine. This enables the hybrid translators to run the bytecode on various operating systems. Assemblers There’s the Assembler as well for translating low-level Assembly language to binary. For this series, we will only focus on the High level languages. A good way to look at Translators is to see them as a program in themselves. You need to download or get them, install them on your computer system and understand their basic workings. An Often Asked Question Here’s a question beginners usually ask. What language do I learn first? There are hundreds of programming languages. They are ranked by popularity, community, long term support, pedagogy, busin...

Tools and technologies for web designers.. Tools and technologies for web designers.. Web designers use a variety of different tools depending on what part of the production process they are involved in. These tools are updated over time by newer standards and software but the principles behind them remain the same. Web designers use both  vector  and  raster  graphics editors to create web-formatted imagery or design prototypes. Technologies used to create websites include W3C standards like HTML and CSS, which can be hand-coded or generated by  WYSIWYG editing software . Other tools web designers might use include mark up  validators [8]  and other testing tools for usability and accessibility to ensure their websites meet web accessibility guidelines. [9] Skills and techniques Marketing and communication design Marketing and communication design on a website may identify what works for its target market. This can be an age group or particular strand...

Electronic data processing Main article:  Data storage device  ... Electronic data processing.. Early electronic computers such as  Colossus  made use of  punched tape , a long strip of paper on which data was represented by a series of holes, a technology now obsolete. [14]  Electronic data storage, which is used in modern computers, dates from World War II, when a form of  delay line memory  was developed to remove the clutter from  radar  signals, the first practical application of which was the mercury delay line. [15]  The first  random-access  digital storage device was the  Williams tube , based on a standard  cathode ray tube , [16]  but the information stored in it and delay line memory was volatile in that it had to be continuously refreshed, and thus was lost once power was removed. The earliest form of non-volatile computer storage was the  magnetic drum , invented in 1932 [17]  and use...
