Most Complex Programming Topics

[develix]

Hello,

I just wondered what are the most complex programming topics.

I discovered, that interpreters and furthermore compilers own incredibly high complexity mechanics inside.

I'd be glad about sharing your opinion and experience to this topic.

Design patterns are fairly complex in my opinion. e.g.

You must be registered to see links

Always makes me think wait is this the best way? Or will this turn out like it should be? And etc. Really abstract questions and etc. Pretty cool though.

I have no idea about compilers, drivers, etc. Interpreters are probably a lot easier i would think. Still pretty complex though. Making an IDE of some sort is pretty complicated too. I tried to make my own IDE, and it was pretty hard Lol. Implementing Umm. Code breaking, and like. Error checking, you have to do with this one exe file i forget what its called. Just the interface stuff seems kinda hard to do. Unless there's a component that does most of it already.


A lot of stuff takes practice too. Sometimes you forget what you can and cannot do. With classes, and patterns, and etc.


Other advanced topics would be like: Anything class related, Abstract Base Classes, other abstractions.

And then you have the libraries, and etc. built with that code, and that opens up another can of spahgetti sometimes.

E.g. trying to learn Windows API Lol. Can be frustrating sometimes.

But hey, courses are made, and probably help a lot. And a lot of this has been made easier. But it depends what you're doing i guess. Or what you use.

Graphics manipulation is pretty damn difficult to do. The Nvidia drivers alone, according to an Nvidia software engineer, has more code than the entire Windows 8 operating system.

Oh i forgot. Graphics programming, and game programming. Is very intense Lol. They always say that game programming is the "hardest" to do. . 3D manipulation, and like Eulers, and etc. can really make your brain go around and around.

Its one of the areas of computers that requires the most Math knowledge. So thus. Pretty hard sometimes

I find this question a bit funny.. isn't anything difficult that you're not familiar with?

You're quite right, however languages like PHP are fairly easy go get in to. It really depends on the person and what they prefer.
