#Top 7 reasons you need to learn reactive programming The U s. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 22 percent growth in programming jobs in by 2020.

Programming##Micro Colleges##have sprung up in over#40 cities with Davinci Coders in Boulder, Colorado rated##top value##with its beginner-based, 11-week, full-immersion program for $6, 000.

And now the newest trend reactive programming is rocking the developer community exciting tech giants like Netflix and inspiring a whole new crop of innovative startups.

What is reactive programming? Spreadsheet cell formulas are hands-down the best example of reactive programming.

Cells#react#to changes in the data they reference automatically. For example, A b c means that no matter what happens to B

or an architect, you need to get savvy about how reactive programming concepts are going to radically transform the industry.

#You already know how#traditional procedural programming#(imperative) works. A business user has need a and creates a spec for the programmer.

reactive programming lets computers take care of dependency management rather than leaving that work to the programmers.

That means 500 lines of old-school coding shrinks to five lines using reactive programming. 3. Keep up with changes In our hyper-competitive environment,

Reactive programming means changes can be made without worrying about logic ordering. Ordering is the main cost-component of traditional programming,

requiring significant analysis for each change. Just like the simplest spreadsheet, reactive programming means logic is ordered automatically based on dependencies

4. Improve code quality Traditional code is error prone. It must not only be correct; it must be called.

Reactive logic is applied automatically to all changes it s the next level up in reuse beyond object-oriented programming. 5. The big kids are into it Microsoft#led the effort#by releasing Rx extensions to its.

And now Gartner has included reactive programming in its#newest report#on the hottest application developmenttrends of 2013.6.

Reactive programming opens up a whole new era of communication and collaboration between IT and business users.

When implemented correctly, reactive programming is the ultimate nirvana. Those 500 lines of code are distilled away,

It uses proprietary algorithms to reduce false alarms. Lockheed touts the##field -and-forget##technology as providing maximum coverage at minimal costs,

#Demand for computer science programs is booming at colleges across the U s. People in the tech industry have worked to persuade more young people in the U s. to become interested in studying computer science for years.

Demand for computer science classes and programs is booming at universities across the U s, . according to data presented this past week at the NCWIT summit for Women in IT by Ed Lazowska, the Bill & Melinda Gates Chair in Computer science and Engineering at the University of Washington,

and Stanford Computer science professor Eric Roberts. Demand is also booming for the less expensive Micro Colleges that teach programming skills like Davinci Coders near Boulder, Colorado,

which only costs $6, 000. At Lazowska own school, the number of incoming freshman who plan to major in computer science is soaring the graph below,

published earlier this week by Geekwire, speaks for itself. It not just UW that seeing A CS boom.

Computer science class enrollment is markedly up at a number of institutions, from traditional tech hubs like MIT and Stanford to more humanities-and business-focused schools like Harvard.

But at the academic level Lazowska and Roberts say that this time around things just feel different than they did during the first dot-com frenzy.

According to Lasowska and Roberts, our higher education institutions today aren prepared adequately to handle the surge in computer science education demand.

#New Algorithm for Real-time Simulations in Materials Research Researchers at LBNL have have developed a new algorithm that opens the door for real-time simulations in atomic-level materials research.

and visiting scholar Zhi Wang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have developed a new real-time time-dependent density function theory (rt-TDDFT) algorithm that increases the small time

The traditional algorithms work by directly manipulating these equations. Wang new approach, which involves adding a new algorithm on top of his PETOT (parallel total energy) code,

originally developed by Wang when he worked at the National Renewable energy Laboratory and later parallelized by Wang

"With this new algorithm, the rt-TDDFT simulation can have speed comparable to the Born-Oppenheim ab initio molecular dynamics simulations,

"To achieve this, the algorithm expands the equations in PETOT into individual terms, based on which states are excited at a given time.

describing the key to the algorithm success: Solving the equations in bigger time steps reduces the computational cost and increases the speed of the simulations."

"Comparing the new algorithm with the old, slower algorithm yields similar results, e g.,, the predicted energies and velocities of an atom passing through a layer of material are the same for both models,
