Programming With Josh

A thread controls the flow of an executable program. By default, a program has one thread called Main Thread . Main Thread starts when control enters in the Main method and it terminates when Main method returns. If the execution of a program is controlled by more than one thread, it’s called a Multithreaded Application . Such a program increases the performance and response time of an application. In C#, the System.Threading namespace is used for creating and managing thread(s) in a multithreaded application. A thread can be created by using System.Threading.Thread class. A thread can only be manipulated on a method. For example, MainThread needs a Main method to control the flow of a progam. In a C# progarm, a thread can be found in any of the following states: States of a Thread System.Threading.Thread class contains the following common methods and properties, which are helpful for managing a thread. Common Methods and Properties of Thread Class

Step 1. Know what you need to know. Step 2. Find good study material. Step 3. Take notes. Step 4. Practice. Step 5. Relax. Step 6. Manage your time.

C# is the most commonly used language for leveraging the .NET Framework. As such, learning C# is a springboard to creating enterprise systems, desktop applications, websites and  mobile applications.

When we will think about programming languages, surely Python, Java, Ruby, and many more will cross our minds. However, undeniably, we sometimes tend to forget about the excellent people behind them - the great minds which created these useful programming languages. In this article, we are going to meet the people behind the Top 10 languages that are widely used by developers. Here are they: 1. Guido van Rossum The man behind  Python  which is not only one of the most prominent but also one of the highest-paying programming languages is Guido van Rossum. Based on Vicky Singh Rao's article on Technotification, Guido is a Dutch who was born on January 31, 1956. His language was initially released in 1991. 2. Yukihiro Matsumoto Computer scientist and programmer Yukihiro Matsumoto is behind the object-oriented programming language  Ruby . He was born on April 14, 1965. It was in the middle of 1990s when Matsumoto developed Ruby in Japan. 3. James Arthur Gosling Can...

Pascal case is a subset of Camel Case where the first letter is capitalized. That is,  userAccount is a camel case and  UserAccount is a Pascal case. The conventions of using these are different. You use camel case for variables and Pascal case for Class names or Constructors. It is easy to remember. Pascal is a proper noun so capitalize the first letter. camel is a common noun, so you do not capitalize the first letter. Talking from a programmer's perspective,  PascalCase  means the first char should be capitalized while  camelCase  means the first char should be lowercased. To remember camel case you have to think about the shape of the capital letters. They are like the humps of a camel as you can see this image. Pascal Casing  - capitalizes each word: ThisShouldBePascalCase Camel Casing  - is similiar to pascal case but the first word is not capitalized: thisShouldBeCamelCase In general both can be considered equiv...

Principles to keep in mind Encapsulate what varies. Code to the interface, not to the implementation. Favor composition over inheritance. Strive for loosely coupled designs between objects that interact. Classes should be open for extension but closed for modifications. Depend on abstractions. Do not depend on concrete classes. A class should have only one reason to change.

F1 - Opens the Help screen for almost every program. F2 - Allows you to rename  a selected file or folder. F3 - Opens a search feature  for an application that is active at the moment F4 - Alt + F4  closes the active window F5 - Allows you to refresh or reload  the page or document window. F6 - Moves the cursor to the address bar  in most Internet browsers. F7 - Used to spell check and grammar check  a document in Microsoft applications such as Microsoft Word. F8 - Used to access the boot menu  in Windows when turning on the computer F9 - Refreshes  a document in Microsoft Word and send and receives  e-mails in Microsoft Outlook F10 - Activates the menu bar  of an open application. Shift + F10 is the as right clicking F11 - Enters and exits fullscreen mode in Internet browsers. F12 - Opens the Save as dialog box  in Microsoft Word.
