Thread 5

Welcome to the Jungle is an article that talks about a hard reality that all programmers or computer enthusiasts will suffer at some point with computers. We won't get any more faster components and therefore our computers are damned to hit a ceiling and they are approaching to that ceiling fast. This sounds like horrible news for anyone interested on the field of computers, yet we have to take into consideration a new avenue is appearing, Quantum Computers. In the computer science everybody knows about the problems NP complete or NP. Yet these type of problems are quite popular and well important to solve. The current computers are not designed, or in better words able to solve this problems in a descent amount of time. We have faced these problems from a long time and yet, the companies that are in charge of creating CPUs are not interested in creating components designed to solve this problem. Quantum Computers could be solution for some of the NP problems and therefore could revolutionize the whole computer world industry. We can see great parallels in how the computers started to rise and how quantum computers are rising at this moment. Just few companies focusing on producing these type of technology and the end product being massive boxes that require special rooms that can supply the proper environment and resources for this computers. Sounds Familiar? It should if you are a computer enthusiast. Let's take into consideration that just because a new technology is making way through , it doesn't mean that suddenly the old computers will be proven obsolete and at the end will dispose of them. We have to make something clear, the current computers are being able to solve so many problems and tasks. Therefore what i believe could be the future is that both technologies will work in their separate fields to solve different tasks but that time will only tell.

This is the first Post for the multithreading programming class, Hi my name is Arturo Velazquez and I am interested in all the things that are related to some kind of development. Right now I work for an American company called LendingClub as a front end developer. What I expect from this subject is to improve my skils in programming for C++. C++ is a language that i want to dominate and be fluent in with. I have different hobbies when I have time , like playing video games and miniatures.

The trends for programming will always keep changing doesn't matter in which sector we are focused on. We have seen it through out the years on how different ways of programming have become more relevant in different periods of time. Now the reason for why a trend becomes popular could be for a number of reasons. This could be for development of better technology, easier understanding on the programming part of the development or even the demand of developers on certain language. In this case knowing that parallelism is going to become the next trend that programmers will need to learn. Almost all computers and processors have a dual core integrated to them. So is easy to see that people will try to improve their execution times of programs by using multiprocessors. I think this is becoming more relevant with a new way of computing. Quantum computing will cause a whole revolution on how we understand and solve computer problems. A major problem that will cause with this revolution

The Erlang programming language is an interesting approach to a solution for concurrent and parallel programming. It is interesting for so many different aspects and the first aspect would be that is a programming language that doesn't require the idea of sharing memory. This is a big change in paradigms , we have seen it in some old languages that the idea to share memory is a common one. Yet even if it is an old idea and a paradigm that is implemented in several languages , is hard to handle. It is true that we have certain objects that could help us to manage the memory and how different threads or programs can access shared resources. This sometimes can be difficult to understand and even sometimes hide some bugs that are hard to replicate and even solve them.  Another idea that Erlang deviates from is the idea of immutable variables or states. This is another old way to manage resources and make sure that we can keep the state of the program appropriately. We can notice that E
