Mother of compilers

 The story of Grace Hopper described in the article and in the video emphasizes something obvious but which is uncomfortable to highlight, this is the fact that women's achievements have been overshadowed and although they exist, they have been less due to the different historical trajectory that men and women have had and because of the late incorporation of women to many professional activities and even issues that reach the legal framework designed by men that historically exclude women. It is for this reason that the story of "The Queen of Code" is inspiring and stands out the important role of women in technology, 

It is very devastating to see how talented people in this case Grace Hopper, was so underestimated and held back in her attempt to bring knowledge to humanity, simply because she was a woman. Despite that, she became the mother of Cobol, becoming an expert in an area that was unknown back then, with the proposal of Cobol becoming the universal language. 

She was an admirable woman, since from a young age she went against what was pre-established by society, fought for change and achieved it. Even today it is very unfortunate that women are still being judged for dedicating themselves to engineering or that it is thought that careers such as computer systems are more for men, I observe this due to the lack of women in the career. 

Definetely, Grace Hopper is an inspiration, change the world of programming and it is important to know her story just as we know Alan Turing,

Introducción

Hello! My name is Hector Hernandez, I am 21 years old and in september I am going to turn 22, even do I taking Compiler design this semester, my graduation date is in the 2021, this is a little bit sad for me because this mean I didn't graduate on time but somehow I have faith that maybe next semester everything can get back to normal, I am excited to take the ceneval exam and also be able to make a reunion with all of my friends and family. My main hobby was to swim in the school pool but now in some way is to apply to a lot of jobs. I have a pretty good job in a pharmaceutic with a lot of benefits, even do i get the job its pretty difficult to take a job with less pay and benefits. My goal in this is to see how to get better in my communication skills and to finally find a job where I can say that I would rather choose this company because i have somo much to learn from them than this pharmaceutic where I am just in my confort zone. Another hobby that i can write about is the mob...

Lin Clark on WebAssembly

 I think is pretty good to have the web topic around another blog activity and well combined i think because the last semester I got the chance of talking the computational graphics subject and is was all focus on web development for 3d rendering and was very important because it's been a while since the browsers have access to the graphics card and indeed this been my first approach to the technology is as Lin mention where we have the structure as HTML,  design CSS and Javascript for the functionality. It was surprising  for me to see that this was first designed for PC because of the way we use JavaScript for games in the web and is an language that born just to be easy to understand leaving just a side the optimization. From the podcast i understand the benefits of the binary instructions provided by Web Assembly; It's design made for the portability and with targets of high level languages have the functionality of the deployment o client or server client.  When...

Building Server-Side Web Language Processors

 I was very happy that this article also was from our professor, even do web have nerve been y favorite in the article we have a new approach of the compiler design class with the web overview. I fell part of the article when the author mention all of the activities that we are making but got also get a little bit disappointed where I read that there activities are not enough to have a the topic fully acknowledge. After having this in the field, the author brings a web approach and mentions the real fact of letting all of the students choose their own path and explain the possibility that most of the wont became web developer but those that choose a web developer path will be huge benefit from this methodology. Having the level of communication that the compiler brings to the tables is very useful because in a way you will have to create rules and apis until we get the structure needed. looking thru all this web technologies that are so modular, will be pretty beneficial to anyone ...
