Derin's CS Journey

For this week’s blog post, one pattern that stood out to me the most was “Your First Language” I believe that the first language will be the most important one for our careers because for the next few years this will be the main language, we use to solve problems or practice to improve.  My first language technically was HTML that I learned back in a web design class at High School, but my first official language is Java from our CS 140 class. From that class and onward I have been using java for almost everything even for personal projects or in other classes. As I was reading the rest of the article, I came across a sentence how the author states, “For several years, your first language will be the framework against which you learn other languages. The better you know your first language, the easier it will be to learn your next language.” I believe this is very true, your first language will be the foundation for the rest of the languages you will be learning. I remember when ...

This week on my CS Journey, I want to talk about the design patterns, Especially the Facade design pattern. In class, we also learned about other designs which are helpful. However, I wanted to focus on the Facade design pattern. To start of Facade is a structural design pattern that adds an interface to an existing system to hide its complexities. In other words, it provides a simple interface that can be used to manipulate more complex logic behind the scenes, that are hidden from the main user. According to the Gang of Four, the Facade pattern intends to "Provide a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem" From the blog I used it provided a diagram that I think is helpful to understand the design pattern. In the diagram, we can see that Facade is acting as an interface for the complex Subsystems that are hidden from the main clients.  Now let’s take a look at a real-life example. A good example that I found was When a computer starts up, it involves the work...
