Programming Language Geek Comments http://plgeek.blogsome.com Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 03 Dec 2009 09:33:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: plgeek http://plgeek.blogsome.com/2008/05/18/what-are-file-extensions/#comment-7 Mon, 19 May 2008 07:49:55 +0100 http://plgeek.blogsome.com/2008/05/18/what-are-file-extensions/#comment-7 I see, about the article above... Actually, in my PC, i always set my folder settings to allow file extensions to be shown.. As for the case of viruses as discussed in the article, you will notice that though you see that it has a file extension ".txt", but the icon of the file is not for notepad, it is a clue that it is not really a text file... By the way, I forgot to mention, usually, when a file is being associated to an application, the file inherits the Icon allowed by the program. Therefore, you would notice that the file's icon looks like the icon of the application opening it by default. (though this might not be true all the time, since there are cases that though the file is already associated with the application, the icon hasn't been completely configured) I see, about the article above… Actually, in my PC, i always set my folder settings to allow file extensions to be shown..

Hehehe... I'm not talking about learning HOW to use them.. But learning how to program the application that are being used in these operating systems.. Ahehehe... I would just have to change the "Geek" word though.. lolz.... Anyway, of course, if you speak about programming languages, it just doesn't mean that we're programming Windows.. It's just that, Windows is the most common type of Desktop computer.. So, those who would want to learn programming, do not have to complicate themselves on learning first on an environment that they are not used to... Look.. If ever since you were born, you were using only Windows, then one day you wanted to learn programming, would you start it in Linux? I have to stress out, this ain't a place for pros or pro-soon-to-bes who deal with very sophisticated programming.. Anyway, I never said something wrong.. It's just that, i can't mention EVERYTHING.. If you're a beginner, you would not want to be fed by very complicated explanations.. Learning is a process, and for a process, it takes steps.. If i won't be able to properly communicate with beginners, then my purpose is a defeat.. Hehehehe... Simple eh?

But anyway, to make it not confusing, *.exe is just what we call as "File Extension". Though changing an application's file extension into .txt can still be executed, only if YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT. But double clicking on an application, with a file extension ".txt", opens it to the default application which is notepad (for Windows). I'm a Windows Application programmer, so I'm not very familiar with the environment of other OS..

Anyway, for a wider understanding about file extensions, I will post a special topic about it.. Yep, but majority of the applications are in *.exe..

EXE files are just a way that the Windows OS understands it. Other OS doesn't use it, due to its poor logic (well, for me, imagine this &gt; changing .txt to .exe make's me a programmer in windows?) Not all programming language use compilation, another one is interpretation as a mode of execution (wikipedia). btw, nice post Not all application or executable are in EXE.
