November 14, Pan Shiyi, real estate heavyweights in the upcoming 56th birthday of the occasion, announced on the microblogging into the programming language, and sights nowadays normalizing Python, causing the network a boil, netizens for his this a decision is very puzzling. 15, Pan Shiyi again on the microblogging sound, explain the reasons why they have to learn the Python language.
Pan Shiyi, microblogging Original:
Why do we have to learn Python language?
When agricultural society, we have to learn to control horses, donkeys, cattle, so that they contribute to us, to work.
In an industrial society, we must learn to manage a variety of machines, trains, ships, aircraft, machine tools and so on.
Today, we want the machine to listen to our command, we must learn the machine can understand the language. Such language is constantly evolving, getting closer to our everyday language. We have chosen the best kind of evolution: Python language.
I started e-learning, really bad course series. They start with Jin Yong's novels begins with a number of terms and names of martial arts novels, somewhat superfluous.
But it's all in evolution.
In the information age, the amount of information getting bigger, our minds become increasingly smaller. If you ask me in this day and age what knowledge and skills are the most useful, most worth learning, it occupies most of our brains, Python should be in them.
Recently, Pan Shiyi interest more widely, and often learn something. He studied photography, organized a photography exhibition; learn carpentry, He Jiong can guide sawing wood in variety shows; do talk show, invited to the well-known entrepreneurs. Pan Shiyi, based on a series of achievements made, we have reason to believe that, even in the age of fifty interbank learn programming language, he also will become a good programmer.

Also in the case of age is not dominant, entered the Pan Shiyi from another industry far more than one program areas to learn from scratch, and they are a lot of people made a pretty good accomplishment, Wang Xiaobo is one of them.
Speaking of Wang Xiaobo, we first think about his identity could be a writer, in fact, Wang Xiaobo undergraduate read in the professional trade Renmin University, then went to the University of Pittsburgh reading of Economics graduate. During the study, he found a mentor Wang Xiaobo body of writing talent, encouraged him to literary creation, but a few years after the National People's Congress Wang Xiaobo returned to do a statistical lecturer.
Because dealing with statistics, analysis tools is essential. In the 1990s, a lack of domestic software, the computer is now far less so smart. So Wang Xiaobo decided to self-programming, to develop their own software.
Wang Xiaobo was born in 1952, began teaching in 1988 after returning home. That is when he made this decision, it is already over 35 years of age, and this age, it is now widely circulated in the IT field of "midlife crisis" threshold.
Nearly four-year-old Wang Xiaobo has learned FORTRAN, Assembler, C and other languages, and then they get involved in data structures, algorithms related knowledge, as well as compiler theory did not fall. Against the middle-aged self-taught programmer Wang Xiaobo not only developed a Chinese input method editor and also bought a PC with a 286 chip is committed to optimizing software.
It is said that Wang Xiaobo's programming is quite powerful, his level in no way inferior to the same period of Ma and Lei Jun, put on today, he is definitely a top software engineer.

Middle-aged has enough courage and determination to get involved in the computer case does not just occur in men, the same applies in women.
The "mother of the COBOL language", the "mother of computer software," said the "millennium bug" producer Grace Hob (Grace · Hopper) in program history is destined to go down in history, however, many people do not know is that Huo wave is in fact middle-aged career change program of work.
Hopoe could have been in mathematics and physics expert personnel. In 1928 she won the United States honors honor. In the same year bachelor's degree in mathematical physics, served as a school teacher, he was appointed associate professor Weisha College. Use of scholarships obtained, Hob again admitted to the prestigious
Yale University
study. In 1930, her master's degree in mathematics from Yale University; Ph.D. in 1934 became history as the first female mathematics at Yale University.
World War II
broke out was a turning point Hob life. In 1943, full of patriotic enthusiasm, she hesitate to join the army, where she was able to close contact with the computer. Fortunately she was appointed to the famous computer expert, Dr. Hod Aiken (H.Aiken) assistant, Mark Ⅰ involved in the development of the computer.
You know, at this time Hopoe already a middle-aged women in recent years of the Lent.
However, age is never a factor hindering Hopoe programming in the field of freedom to explore.
During the war, Hob as MarkⅠ, as well as follow-up machine MarkⅡ, MarkⅢ write a lot of software.
After World War II, the US Navy with a citation, Hob great achievements one after another to create a field of a series of computer software.
In 1949, she joined the first electronic computer ENIAC inventor Mo Qili and Eckert founded the company, started for the first time using the "brief instruction code" for the world's first commercial computer program stored more than UNIVAC write software.
In 1952, when Sperry Rand served as systems engineer, she first developed the world's first compiler AO, the ability to convert English-like symbol code into machine instructions a computer can recognize.
In May 1959, with the support of the Pentagon, Hob led the team successfully designed the first commercial programming language Cobol.
In the computer-based Hobo brilliant achievements in the field of language, her life received a total of 40 honorary degrees universities around the world and won many awards and honors, including:
In 1969, the Data Processing Management Association awarded the "Annual Computer Science Person of the Year" award; in 1973, the first British Computer Society Distinguished Fellow Americans, is the world's first woman so honored;
The first computer in 1980 IEEE International Organization awarded the Pioneer Award;
In 1991 the first female National Science and Technology Medal.
Read these stories cattle, programmer (Yuan), do you also for future mid-life crisis and worry about it? Maybe you will shine four or five years of age, to become another legend programming community.
