Libraries - Reading Assignment

[monstrosity]

so we don’t have to re-invent the wheel… use what has already been done so you can leverage your time working on better things.

[JeffR]

1. To not waste time writing code that has already been written.

[Samuel_Carmona]

At the time of programming, we don’t have to be thinking that we have to programm all the code. Probably we can re-use the code that someone did instead of re-writting the same, this practice saves lot of time to all programmers.

A library is an existing code or collection of code that we can import within our code and use it, letting us focusing on what we need to, solving problems that are not yet solved.

I always wondered what a source code was. I remember using snes emulators and roms and readimg about the community that created the bios. The sourse code was a key part of this and now i know that that was an open source library. Libraries are important templates when it comes to coding
They are essential to efficiency in developing

[Sarmen]

We need libraries to re-use the code that’s already written/tested and share instead of having to rewrite the code which takes more time of ours.

[Mirran]

Why do we need libraries?
We need libraries to save us time. Rather than reinvent everything we need we can stand upon the shoulders of others before us and. hopefully, become part of the evolution.

[Kieran]

We need libraries so as to not re-invent the wheel. Routine functions and scripts have been created by other devs, and these are packaged into open source ‘libraries’, ready for us to use when needed.

[thegarty]

We need libraries because access to them allows us to copy code and build upon code that has already ben built thus saving time

[vale_dinap]

Libraries are needed in order to reuse existing code (either written by us or other developers) and avoid rebuilding functions that already exist.
By building our code on top of existing libraries, we can avoid “re-inventing the wheel”, which allows us to massively (and absolutely colossally ) expand the functionalities of our code in a shorter amount of time.
In addition, a code sourcing external functions is shorter and easier to read.

[Niki_Kou]

To re-use existing code when we can, so that we don’t waste our time writing code that another programmer has already written.

[FredrikLarsson]

1. Why do we need libraries?
We need libraries in order to not having to reinventing the wheel every time we want to create something new. With access to libraries we can use code where other people already have solved something you want to implement in your digital artefact. This is not a must but surely it is beneficial both in relation to time and resources spent on a project but also the quality of the end result, because other people have spent a lot of time and resources solving that specific solution you need access to. Without it you would maybe succeed in creating the functions yourself but often with spending less time and resources than the creators of the libraries have put in just because your objective is not to solve that specific solution, your objective is often something larger above the specific library functions you need.

Library Answer

1. We as programmers need libraries so our time is better allocated to creating our master piece and not trying to reinvent the wheel. We should use existing code whenever possible so that our time can be wisely spent developing the programmer and writing code another programmer as so generously put into a library for the service of others.

[Vincent1]

1. Why do we need libraries?
   So that we are able to re-use code that other programmers have made, rather than wasting time to write code that other programmers have previously written.

[Ville]

1. It’s saves time because already other programmers have made good code

[Romeo_Casper]

1. Why do we need libraries?

We need libraries due to the fact it holds codes and functions for us to use saving us a lot of time trying to build code from scratch. “A library is a JavaScript file that contains a bunch of functions, and those functions accomplish some useful task for your webpage”.

[Leonardo_Ramos]

As a programmer we use libraries to reuse code previously developed by other programmers. Such files called libraries have a bunch of several codes inside them therefore we are able to pick those codes as a source for our development.

[StanleyGM]

1. Why do we need libraries?
   Libraries save programmers lots of time as it enables us to use code that has been written and tested in the past. This means that we can build off the work that others have done and reduces the amount of code that is required to be written by ourselves.

[andor]

1. to not waste time, effort and other resources writing “simple” codes for functions, etc. if they are already written by someone. libraries allow us to concentrate on the “game changing” aspects of our project and not the small, simple tasks

[kurtis27]

1. we need libraries so programmers aren’t needed to write code that other programmers have already written. So libraries allow us to use and build on the code that has already been written.

[JonBal]

1. Libraries allow developers to put there work up for anyone to use and even build on top of. Ideally you dont want to spend a lot of time creating something that has already been invented.
