Milestone #4

12/2/2013 Research different techniques and programming language that are used for 3D design tools.

Originally software for Computer-Aided Design systems was developed with computer languages such as Fortran, ALGOL but with the advancement of object-oriented programming methods this has radically changed. After some research I came to the conclusion that start learning about programming requires learning the more basic ones. The basic programming language is a low level language, which does not mean it is easier or less complicated than others, but actually means that it is closer to the machine code that the programming language will end up compiling to and then executed. One of the early languages that most of the current programming languages are based on is “C”.

Many developers nowadays prefer Java programming language, until it became the most popular among all programming languages. However, choosing a programming language will depend mainly on the nature of the project and the requirements of the outcomes. But what is good about programming that all languages are based on a basic methodology. Of course, the different syntax will result in different functionality, but it is not hard for a handy programmer to use other languages than the one of his expertise.
