It is very impressive the diversity of languages that exist in the world and it is more impressive the number of programming languages that exist nowadays, around 8500 programming languages.

Hello everybody, my name is Sergio Erick Chávez, but you can call me either Sergio or Erick I have no problem on that. I am studying the seventh semester of major in Computer Science at Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Estado de México. Once I finish my major I would like to specialize in Networks, which is an area that interests me a lot.  I am currently working as a Junior Consultant for DGA Consulting Technology developing Business Intelligence apps for Grupo Bimbo.  What I expect from the Programming Languages course is to learn a new programming language, its functionality, structure, and importance in the computers world so I can apply it to later a project or situation that demands it. I also expect to improve my programming skills which I must say are not of my strengths but I always do my best for learning programming.  My main hobbies are: Listening to music: I have a varied taste of music, I can listen to Salsa, Rock, Electronic Music, etc. but m...
