Started two new courses

Today I started two new courses at school. In the first one called ”Compiler technology and translation” (that is proberbly not the correct translation) we are going to create a compiler. Our teacher has already created the Lexical analysis functionality and the code for splitting the source-code in blocks. We are going to code the functionality for Syntax analysis, Semantic analysis and generating assembler code. I’ll write more about this later.

The second course is called ”Software engineering project in group”. We are a group of 5 people who are going to create what the company called a emulator for their Game Development Kit. I’m not sure what it means but when I do I’ll write about it.

Starting to learn Python

I’ve just started learning Python. I’m reading the Dive into Python book online since I didn’t really like the official tutorials that the python docs has. From my experience with the language so far I’m really starting to like it. First I thought it looked a little messy since it only uses indentation to enclose code blocks (instead of curly brackets that many other languages use). However I’ve now started to like the fact that every programmer has to indent their code, or it won’t work. To many times have I seen code that either isn’t indented at all or is indented in a very weird way.

I was also looking at Ruby before I chose Python but after looking at some source-code I thought the Python code was clearer and easier to understand.

What I am really after is using it for web programming. I want to see if I like it more then PHP.
