I think a generally acceptable definition of reusable code could be "code or functionality that will probably be useful in one or more future projects." It's a category of code that few managers or developers, in my experience, seem to pay much attention to until they need it.

This is unfortunate since, in my opinion, reusable code, when upgraded to repeatable code, has the potential to save big on development costs.

Thought creating your own software programs was reserved for die-hard computer geeks? Think again!

If you have ever considered creating your own computer software, but thought that the time needed to learn a programming language and the cost of the development program were just too much, then you are in for a pleasant surprise.

Instant EXE is a software development program that allows just about anyone to create their own Windows-based computer programs.

What is stopping you from writing your own computer software? Do you think it will be too difficult? Do you think you will have to learn a new programming language? Do you believe that it would be boring?

If you have ever thought to yourself "I wish I could make my computer do ..." or thought "I wish I could automate this task on my computer" then you are on your way to becoming a computer programmer.

Adding a simple email form or contact form to a website can often be a tough task for a first-time programmer or small business website. A lot of people who start a website or a small internet business use simple templates to put a website online while having little or almost no knowledge of HTML programming.

Creating a functional email form or contact form, as simple as the form itself may be, is almost impossible for an inexperienced programmer that doesn't have more advanced knowledge of PHP and HTML programming.

The first version of Perl (Perl 1.000) was published in 1987 by Larry Wall; so Perl is 4 years senior to Linux. Larry Wall was at that time working with UNIX commands and was not happy by the operation of sed, awk and the Bourne Shell. He was searching for a language that will provide him all the supreme features of the UNIX commands and having very minimum margin of error.

Many software and hardware producers take pride in the exponential pace of technology change, but for users and consumers of their products and services the rapid technological obsolescence often means increased costs, frustrations, and unfulfilled promises. Corporate America expects to make capital investments in goods and facilities that should last five, ten, even twenty years, but only an eighteen-month lifetime for computer software and hardware investment is not uncommon.
