Knowledge can be gained through various means‚ the most important being reading the books. Experinced is also one of the important factor to gained the indepth knowledge.

Knowledge gained through reading the books is of no use unless and untill we implement it in our practical life. Implementing the knowledge

Procedural Programming vs Object Oriented Programming When writing code for a program it is very important to make sure that you use the best language for what the client needs. Prior to making a decision on what language to use‚ a programmer needs to decide which method he or she wants to use. The two most common methods used by coders in the field today are procedural and object oriented programming (OOP). Making the decision to use an incorrect option could run cause problems during the maintenance

2014/9/16 Linear Equations Ad Options Ads by Vidx Linear Equations A linear equation is an equation for a straight line These are all linear equations: y = 2x+1 5x = 6+3y y/2 = 3 x Let us look more closely at one example: Example: y = 2x+1 is a linear equation: The graph of y = 2x+1 is a straight line When x increases‚ y increases twice as fast‚ hence 2x When x is 0‚ y is already 1. Hence +1 is also needed So: y = 2x + 1 Here are some example values: http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/linear-equations
