Google Tech Talks July 7, 2008 ABSTRACT Urbi is a middleware for concurrent and distributed programming, based on a new parallel and event-obsessed speech language called ‘urbiScript’. Using a familiar and simple-to-use syntax, the language offers several concurrent abstractions rooted in the language semantics, together with an integrated scheduler and a distributed component architecture called UObject, based on C++ or Java. urbiScript acts as an orchestrator to build interactions/behaviors linking distributed UObjects. Successful applications of Urbi are now mostly in robotics, especially in the upcoming Robocup’08 events, but extensions to video games and complex systems programming are envisioned. Graphical tools have recently been added to the Urbi suite to make hierarchical finite state machines and to provide advanced debugging features. JC Baillie, the author of Urbi, will give a detailed technical presentation of the key aspects of this new technology, and show demonstrations of the “Urbi Studio” graphical tools with the Aibo robot.

He received the PhD in Artificial Intelligence from Academe of Paris 6 and Sony Computer Science Lab and then founded the Cognitive Robotics Lab in ENSTA/ParisTech. During 4 years he worked on developmental robotics research with an extension of the Talking Heads …
Basic 256 Programming Language

Google Tech Talks October 27, 2008 ABSTRACT Factor is a general-purpose programming language which has been in development for a small over five years and is influenced by Forth, Lisp, and Smalltalk. Factor takes the best thoughts from Forth — simplicity, succinct code, emphasis on interactive testing, meta-programming — and brings present high-level language features such as garbage collection, object orientation, and functional programming familiar to users of languages such as Python and JavaScript. Recognizing that no programming language is an island, Factor is portable, ships with a full-featured standard library, deploys stand-alone binaries, and interoperates with C and Objective-C. In this talk, I will give the rationale for Factor’s creation, present an overview of the language, and show how Factor can be used to solve real-world problems with a minimum of fuss. At the same time, I will call attention to Factor’s extensible syntax, meta-programming and reflection capabilities, and show that these features, which are unheard of in the world of mainstream programming languages, make programs simpler to write, more robust, and fun.

In college I want to go into computer programming. For a minor though I’m going into a science most likely physics, genetics, or chemistry. Whats the best programming language to write programs for these subjects?
I want to start getting into computer programming, but I don’t know where to start. What is the simplest language for someone who has never programmed before to learn? Currently I’m starting with Python, but are there any better options?
I’m by now proficient in Java, and I know some C++ so I’m not new to programming in general. I want to learn something new though aside from commonly used languages, and I heard that Delphi is fantastic for native Windows application development. Is this right for those who have used it? I’ve seen open source applications that are written in Delphi, but I’ve never used it myself how does it compare to additional programming languages?
And also what programming language do public use nowadays?
Is it right that all the programming languages are quite desame?
If you learn c++ will additional programming language be simple to learn?
I heard that new languages are made each year.
If I wanted to make a program that used say a mysql database, what would be the best programming language to learn?
I am interested in learning how to program for the iPhone. What would be the Windows language that most closely resembles the iPhone programming language. I want to write for both Windows machines and iPhones without having to re-learn an entire programming language.
