Chapter 58 (2/2)
Kong Lingyu asked, ”what does partial development mean?”
”I've started to develop myself. I've finished about 20% of the development, but I really don't have time to do it. So I hope that a technical director will be responsible for me. According to my requirements, I will lead other technical personnel to solve all the development of the website.”
Kong Lingyu is even more surprised. It's not new for a 18-year-old to start a business. From the perspective that his project hasn't been launched yet and he can rent such a place first, 80% of them are rich second generation.
However, the development of 18-year-old Youth Association Web page is very rare in China. After all, computer courses are not fully popularized in high schools in China. Even if high school students want to learn programming, they may not have the right opportunity.
Seeing some doubts in his expression, Li Mu took his notebook and showed him the unfinished project, saying, ”you can roughly see that this is just a preliminary background logic.”Kong Lingyu was surprised to take over the computer, looked at several pages of code, and immediately changed his mind about Li Mu.
Code is a boring thing, but it is also an art, an art similar to mathematics.
For example, a certain function of a program is a mathematical problem. Different technicians have different ways to solve the problem. Not everyone can solve the problem, not everyone has the most labor-saving solution. So, when programmers see better code, it's like mathematicians see better ways to solve the problem, they can see each other's level at once.
Kong Lingyu just looked at a few pages of code, and felt that Li Mu's web page programming strength was even higher than his own. If he wrote the code according to the same requirements, even if he wrote it, I'm afraid that the length would double!
The length of the code not only represents the programmer's mastery of the technology, but also represents the programmer's logic ability. The most important thing for development is logic.
The more concise, direct and logical the code, the more representative the strength, even the talent and attainments of each other.
”Excuse me, where did you learn programming? Your level is far above mine. In my opinion, it's like CET-4, just like the level of American English. The gap is too big. ”
”Not so outrageous.” Li Mu waved: ”the most important thing about code is not writing, but thinking before writing. It's like doing translation. If I ask you to translate” how are you? ” How do you translate it? ”
“How-are-you。” Kong Lingyu blurted out.
Li Mu opened a document on the computer and said, ”type it out.”
Kong Lingyu immediately typed how are you on the document.
Li Mu laughs and pulls the computer to his side, saying and typing: ”if it's me, I'll write like this. Have a look.”
After that, Li Mu handed his writing to Kong Lingyu.
Kong Lingyu was shocked at a glance. What Li Mu wrote was: ”how-r-u”
only five letters.
”Here...” Kong Lingyu didn't understand.
Li Mu said with a smile, ”R's pronunciation is the same as are's, U's pronunciation is the same as you's, so that's enough for the other party to understand.”
Kong Lingyu now understood that it was so! In fact, computer language and human language have a lot in common. A programmer is a translator, who translates human language into computer language, and makes the computer understand. A person who is proficient in language and can think will let the other party understand in the simplest and direct way, which is the basis of programming.
Kong Lingyu was more impressed with Li Mu. He felt vaguely that Li Mu should have had overseas learning experience or learned from overseas programming experts. Otherwise, he could not have such a profound understanding of programming.
Li Mu's metaphor also bypasses Kong Lingyu's previous problems. He tells Kong Lingyu about his easy-to-hear plan. After that, he confidently says: ”the era of network audition has not really come, nor the era of MP3 popularization. Now do a good job in this business, and have the chance to become Baidu or Yahoo in the field of online music in the future.”
Kong Lingyu doesn't know when MP3 will be popular, but he agrees with Li Mu's point of view that online music is a convenient service provided by the Internet for Internet users. In the future, more and more people will have this kind of demand. Now, standing in this field early, he can be ready for the wave of demand.
