Clouds ahead. Some were snowy mountains looming over me. Others lay across the sky like long, sleeping giants. I moved the controls so gently that when the plane tilted down and to the left it seemed to respond not to command but by instinct. Then, ahead of me, the horizon straightened. It is a strange friend: always there, glimmering between sky and land, unapproachable, untouchable. Beneath were the North Downs, their gentle curves bearing an odd similarity to the rise and fall of the human body. Now they were sliced cleanly through by the motorway. Cars chased each other along its deep cut. They gleamed like tiny fish. Then the M4 was gone and the earth was falling away towards water, a river knitted with a complexity of tributaries. And here a town, its centre robust, red-hearted, radiating roads lined by paler, more modern buildings. I swallowed. The town was disintegrating. I blinked. An earthquake? The town’s colours waved. Its buildings were pebbles on a riverbed, viewed through the distorting lens of flowing water. Extraordinary air currents? No. Because the town waved in time with something inside me, something like nausea. But more ominous. I blinked harder and my hand tightened on the plane’s controls as if I could correct this feeling by correcting altitude or direction. But it came from deep inside me, forcing its way up through my body with a physical power that left me breathless. I am a practical, sensible man. I looked for practical, sensible explanations. What had I eaten for breakfast? Toast? Harmless enough and offering no explanation for the sudden intensity of this sickness. And if it wasn’t exactly nausea, then what? Its chief component was an inexplicable sense of unhappiness, and … yes, dread. A sense that something terrible was about to happen. Even … an urge to make it happen. A ludicrous

A book by Nigel Poulton Deep docker dive

Description

This is a book about Docker. No prior knowledge is required! The motto of the book is Zero to Docker in one book! If you are interested in Docker and want to know how it works and how to do things correctly, this book is dedicated to you! If you can not use Docker, and I have not worried about your mistakes, this book is not for you.

What’s this Docker Certified Associate stuff

Docker released its first professional certification in the fall of 2017. It’s called the Docker Certified Associate (DCA) and it’s for people wanting to prove their mastery of Docker.
The exam objectives match a lot of real-world scenarios, so I decided to update the book so that it covered all objectives. In doing this, I worked extremely hard to keep the book interesting and applicable in the real world. Thisisnotanexam-crambook.Yes,itcoversallexamtopics,butthisisareal-world book that is enjoyable to read. Atthetimeofpublishing,thisistheonlyresourceavailablethatcoverstheentire set of DCA exam objectives! Good luck with your exam!

Is not Docker just for developers?

If you think Docker is only for developers, get ready for your world to go crazy! Containerized applications need a place to run and someone to manage them. If you think the developers are going to do that, you’re dreaming. The operations will need to build and execute high-performance Docker infrastructures for production. If you have a UPS approach and do not have experience in Docker, a great pain awaits you. But do not stress, the book will help you!

Author : Nigel Poulton

Hi, and welcome to Pluralsight. So I’m Nigel, and I am containerized software running on top of top-spec biological hardware. Yeah, that’s me. I’m all over containers and Docker and stuff like that. So I create awesome Docker and container courses here at Pluralsight, and I do work with a team over at Docker, Inc. as well. And you know what, to cut a long story short, I pretty much live and breathe containers. Anyway, Docker and containers are hot. I mean, it’s rare that I’ll have a technical conversation these days without somebody asking me about containers. And more and more, those people are actually using them. Yeah, most people have them in a lab somewhere, but increasingly, people are rolling out business-critical production apps that are based on containers. And when we’re talking line of business apps in production, we really want to get this stuff right, yeah? So with that in mind, I am really excited to be bringing you this Docker Deep Dive course, a course that I honestly designed to be able to take you from, and I know this sounds cheesy, but from zero to hero. You really can start from the most basic level of IT experience, and by the end of the course, you will have Docker knowledge coursing through your veins. We cover the theory and the hands-on, starting with the basics and building up a solid knowledge. So good luck with the course, and live long and prosper in the coming world of containers.

What is Reactive Programming?

Reactive writing computer programs is a mainstream technique for composing code that depends on reacting to changes. It’s motivated by our regular daily existence and how we take activities and speak with others

An Interesting Analogy

In everyday life, we attempt to perform multiple tasks when we can. Be that as it may, the mind can’t perform multiple tasks. Regardless of how hard we endeavor to have it do. thus the main way we can really perform multiple tasks is to switch errands. Rather and split those undertakings productively amid their lifetime. This bodes well when the errands that we have to do require some measure of pausing. Which is quite often the case.

We entirely switch-errands, notwithstanding when we’re not mindful of it. For instance, to execute the errand of getting an espresso drink from Starbucks. You have to submit a request, hang tight for it to be readied, and after that get your beverage. You’ll no doubt discover another thing to do while you pause, I normally check my Twitter channel. This is the least difficult type of executing an assignment reactively. You’ll accomplish something different. While you’re looking out for a “reaction” from the barista (to call your name when your request is prepared).

Its All About Events Baby

Reactive writing computer programs is just to program utilizing, and depending on, events rather than the request of lines in the code. Generally this includes more than one event, and those events occur in an arrangement after some time. We consider this succession of events a “stream”. Consider events anything that may occur later on. For instance, you realize that Jane (a storekeeper) is continually tweeting fascinating stuff on Twitter, each time she tweets something we consider that an “event”.

On the off chance that you take a gander at Jane’s twitter channel, you have a succession of “events” occurring after some time (a flood of events). Reactive writing computer programs is named so on the grounds that we get the chance to “react” to those events. For instance, envision that you’re hanging tight for Jane to tweet a limited time code about something cool. She sells in her store, and you need to “react” to that tweet, and purchase the cool thing, utilizing the special code. In an improved picture, that is actually what Reactive writing computer programs is about.

To have the option to react to an event, we must screen it. In the event that we don’t screen the event, we’ll never realize when to react to it. On Twitter, to screen the events of Jane tweeting. We pursue Jane and set our telephone to advise us each time she tweets. When she does, we take a gander at the tweet and settle on a choice in the event that we have to additionally react on it or not.

Event listening

In Reactive Programming, the way toward observing an event is known as listening in or subscribing into the event. This is, indeed, fundamentally the same as buying in to a bulletin. When you buy into a bulletin on the Web, you supply your email address. Each time there is another issue of the pamphlet, your email address will be utilized. As the path for you to get a duplicate of the issue. Likewise, we buy into an event stream with a capacity, and each time there is another event. The stream will utilize the capacity to empower our code to react to the event. In this relationship, the bulletin stage is the event stream. Each issue of the pamphlet is an event. Your email is the capacity you use to buy into the event stream.

Presently envision a dynamic bulletin that enables you to choose points and send you just the news things that coordinate your subjects. You are essentially separating the pamphlet issues. Exactly as you would prefer, and that is something we can do on event streams also. Likewise envision that you have bought in to various bulletins utilizing distinctive email addresses. and later concluded that you need all issues of the pamphlets to be sent to another single email address. One simple thing you can do is to set an email decide that advances any issues from any pamphlet to the new email address. You’re fundamentally combining various bulletin issues into one email address, and that is something else we can do on event streams.

Other Approach

Another approach to consider event streams is to contrast them with standard exhibits. They are in reality fundamentally the same as. Clusters are a succession of qualities in space, while event streams are a grouping of qualities after some time. In Reactive Programming, all the practical tasks that we can do on an exhibit – like sifting, diminishing, mapping, consolidating, funneling, and so on… – should likewise be possible on event streams! We can channel an event stream, decrease the estimations of an event stream, map an event stream to another. Join streams, and make one stream a contribution to another, among numerous different choices that all yield another flood of qualities after some time.

For what reason wouldn’t we be able to simply utilize exhibits at that point, you may inquire. The appropriate response here is generally about imperatives, here are two precedents:

More About Events and Event Streams

Event streams are perfect when we have to work with huge measures of information. Here and there, for instance, the measure of information we have to work with surpasses the measure of room we have, and working with customary information structures won’t be an alternative. For instance, envision that we need to ascertain the frequencies of characters in a 5 GB record on a machine that just has 4GB of RAM. Changing over the record into a stream and perusing lumps of information at once will be a vastly improved arrangement than stacking up the entire document in memory.

Event streams

Event streams are likewise perfect when components of information rely upon past qualities. Envision, for instance, that we need an exhibit where each odd-situated number must be picked aimlessly, and each even-situated number that pursues the irregular number must be twofold its esteem. Without Reactive Programming, we need to preprocess that exhibit before we can have any code work with it, while with Reactive Programming, our cluster can essentially be a flood of qualities after some time, and at whatever point we have another esteem we simply react to it.

Impact Of Technology & Gadgets On Our Lives.

High-Tech gadgets have occupied a major role in our daily lives whether we like it or not. All of the gadgets were made to make life better for us in general.  These high-tech gadgets do play a significant role, but we just cannot deny the fact that many of the gadgets do have a negative influence on our lives.

Significance Of Gadgets And Innovations.

The modern technology and gadgets have surely made life easier. It is now easier to get in touch with our loved ones, do research at home, read books at home, gadgets are a huge source of entertainment and so on. Broadly speaking, you just name a thing and modern technology surely does have a way for you.

Psychological Dependence On Gadgets And Technology.

We surely need to understand that technology and gadgets were made to make our life easier and that we should not make them a source of addiction. These things should be used productively and not addictively. People have made gadget and technology usage an obsession nowadays which is clearly not a healthy sign.

Adverse Effects Of Prolonged Gadget Usage.

Using gadgets over a very long period of time has many adverse effects. While we are busy using gadgets we forget about our posture, our distance from the screen, the screen’s brightness which ultimately damages our vision and health.  When we are staring at an electronic screen for a longer period of time it causes distress, which in turn disturbs our healthy life.

Negative Effects Of Gadget Usage On Children.

According to a research 29% of toddlers can easily use modern day gadgets and 70% master it by primary school age. From these figures we can have a rough idea about how alarming the situation is. These gadgets have many negative effects on children such as speech or language delay in children, attention deficits, children having difficulty controlling their behavior, loss in focus, restlessness, difficulty in learning, anxiety, depression, impact on child’s character and many more. The situation with kids and gadgets is very alarming.

Conclusion.

Though helpful, but technology and gadgets can be very harmful if made an obsession or addiction. We need to properly manage gadget usage especially for the children. We need to set time for the usage of these gadgets and we should make our children play outside with their friends and siblings. In this way gadget usage will be limited and it will also help the child to interact and communicate. Use technology and gadgets in good way and you’re all good, use it in a bad way and man you are surely in trouble. Here is great book that explains the topic more widely, hope you guys give it a read. Irresistible: The Rise of Addictive Technology and the Business of Keeping Us Hooked by Adam Alter.

Top 5 books on Javascript

Introduction

In this article, I will show the top 5 JavaScript books that I think are the most valuable in my opinion.

What is JavaScript and why should you learn it?

javascript was originally designed for the strictly client-side application that’s why it was only used to manipulate DOM nodes. But now it is known as a multi-purpose higher level language which means you can write client and server-side applications with the help of node.js javascript framework to write server-side applications.

JavaScript is everywhere, servers, client-side, mobile, AI and games. That’s why every developer should learn JavaScript. You can write servers, client and also single page applications using react or angular.

Top 5 Javascript books

One of the best ways to learn a new language is to go through a book. There are many great books on JavaScript but here are my top picks.

5- Head First JavaScript

Head first JavaScript was released in 2014 and it is one of the best books out there to learn about basics for programming and JS. Many new developers started with this book. Developer like Andy Sterkowitz a self-taught software developer also learned from this book. You should check out his youtube channel.

4- Java Script the Definitive Guide

Here is a book by O’Rielly this book was first publish in 2008. This book is great for beginners and anyone who wants to learns programming. This book starts off really slow and basic but gradually increase in difficulty. It is one of the best books about java script.

Here is an link to Amazon to purchase this book.

3- JavaScript and JQuery ( John Duckett)

This is an amazing book and best seller on Amazon John did an amazing job on this book. I must say it is a definite must for every developer. He explained complex concepts in a very easy manner.

2- Eloquent JavaScript (Marjin Haverbeke)

This is my Personal favorites this is a very thorough book, Every concept is explained in an eloquent manner. This book Starts from basics and moves towards advanced topics likes Node.js and advanced caching.

1- Smarter way to learn JavaScript (Mark Myers)

How AI Curriculum Can Prepare Students for Success in a New World

The questions on the minds of scholars and business analyst identically remains a reflection from 2019 and years past. However, technology effects jobs and how can we prepare our students to achieve goals in an increasingly automated, AI-driven world?

The concern that circles AI, automation and its impact on jobs broadly exceed the understanding of its opportunities. As the educational landscape continues to evolve, the focus on AI should, and likely will, command a more prominent role in the curriculum.

Digitization of the Industry

As we all knew that talent and workforce strain associated with the digitization of nearly every industry in the world. Meanwhile, Amazon inaugurated its first store with checkout-free shopping and automatic billing two years ago. The credit goes to new AI-powered tools.

Gartner Report

According to the Gartner report, AI will replace the 1.8 million eliminated jobs with 2.3 million new jobs by 2020. Employment companies announced that a growing number of AI jobs are providing careers to talents with required skills. The World Bank has also accepted that the expanded use of artificial intelligence and robotics are unlikely to lead to job excess.

The truth is

AI is the fourth industrial revolution with the potential for all applications and processes to get smarter to benefits for the world. It impacts every part of our lives, from how we shop to our healthcare to the cars we drive. The advancement of AI will put up to 58 million net new jobs in the next few years, says the World Economic Forum. Economic Modeling Specialists concludes that jobs in STEM fields will grow by 13% between now and 2027. However, the supply of AI talent is not meeting demand.

Conclusion

Rather, we’re concerned that misunderstandings about automation and AI. The impact on the job market, have dominated all of the positive ways that AI can change the world for the better from creating new healthcare solutions to designing hospitals of the future, Better farming, and our food supply, improving educational resources and access, and even cleaning our oceans, air, and water supply. The embryonic for humans to improve the world through AI is endless, as long as we know how to use it.

A Quick Look Into JAVA

JAVA is a general-purpose object-oriented programming language, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. Also referred as “write one, run anywhere” (WORA) which means that a program which has WORA capability can run anywhere regardless of the platform or machine its being run on, e.g. a java program compiled on a desktop computer with windows can also run on a mainframe with UNIX without the need to be recompiled.

Developed in the early 90’s by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems(now owned by Oracle), Java was originally designed to be used on digital devices such as mobile phones. However, with the release of version 1.0 in 1996, its main focus had shifted to the internet.

There has been many updates since version 1.0 over the years, and java has evolved as a successful programming language to be used both on and off the internet.

There are two distributions of the current implementation

  • Java Runtime Environment (JRE) – intended for the end users and contains parts of Java SE required to run java programs
  • Java Development Kit (JDK) – intended for developers and contains development tools like Java debugger, jar, compiler.

Syntax

Let us look what a basic java program contains and write a basic java program

  • Objects – an object has state and behavior. Methods display an object’s behavior, while the state of an object is stored in fields(variables).
  • Class – class in java are templates that are used to create and define objects, object methods and data types.
  • Methods – methods are basically behaviors, all the logic is written in these methods.
Now lets write a basic java program
public class FirstJavaProgram {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");     
    }
}

This is a simple/basic java program to print “Hello World!” on the console.

Blockchain and Islamic banking

Before going blockchain and Islamic banking lets get started what are both

Blockchain

Blockchain comprises of two-word block and chain that means there are chains of block and block is make-up of transaction records made in any of cryptocurrencies and existing in several computers that is in peer to peer connection.

Islamic Banking

Islamic banking, banking which is shariah compliant and is based on the Islamic principle. It makes profits through equity participation, which requires the borrower to give the bank a share in its profits instead of paying interest.

Now we have a view what is two term mean lets dig about how to relate to each other !

Nearly 2 billion people are there developing or working or adopting Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. In early 2017 major banks compliant with shariah began to work at blockchain to minimize the cost of the transaction and automate things. UAE Islamic bank pioneer in using blockchain technology for fraud prevention.

Is it Haraam or not ?

Different Islamic scholars may have different opinions about what is compatible with Sharia, with some schools that reject the cryptocurrency while many others have approved. In fact, blockchain and cryptocurrency could bring many benefits for Islamic banking and vice versa. Their recent collaboration is creating new potential markets and new business opportunities. And investors of all kinds can take advantage, with the right approach.
So, the conclusion is if it minimizing the cost of transaction fraud prevention then it good to go, keeping in mind what Islam teaches us, if somewhat how it going against Islamic principle it’s haraam.

Concept of Riba

One is that the Islamic concept of Riba prohibits the payment or collection of interest. Islamic banks can only create debt when it is backed by goods and services. Which means that they must be connected to a real underlying asset, such as gold, silver or property papers. This stipulation rules out options, futures and most derivatives, which, of course, makes it difficult to work with Western financial companies.

Conclusion!!!

So I may conclude that by saying there is no yes or no for that, as I have stated in article most have given fatwa on the blockchain is haraam, some are working on that by believing it’s not haraam. it’s you believe how you see a thing. As far as I am concerned and it is in my knowledge it’s not haraam.

How To Ace Your coding interview questions

At one point in every coder life, you ought to give an interview. Coding interviews are a different form of interviews in other fields. There are a lot of problem-solving and thinking on your toes. In this article, I have tried to explain just how to ace your coding interview.

Here are some steps that you can take to improve your chances with the interview

Be Prepared for coding interview questions

The first and most crucial step is to be prepared. Learn online and read books to solve problem sets. Read about sample questions online you can find many just by googling. I would recommend that you should answer interview questions from tech giants like Google and Facebook.

Practice Practice Practice

Take all your theoretical knowledge and put it to practice. Take one problem and try to solve it in different ways; for example, take a bubble sort algorithm and try to implement it with a linked list. Go on to sites like Hacker Rank and practice their problems.

Take Help from a friend

Ask your, coder friend, to come up with a series of question and asked you in a practice interview. Make sure to time you to interview and try to do it a little bit faster each time.

Keep Calm during a coding interview

This is important to try to keep calm and stay positive. Is not like that people get nervous they do but try to overcome it? Go in there like you own the place. I read a study in which scientist found out that lifting your arms and screaming can help in nerves situations.

If you are planning to do it make sure you find a private place.

Take a Good Night Sleep

Nobody runs a day before a marathon. Take a good night sleep a day before Sleeping 8 Hours a night can improve cognitive functions and improve mood also helps you make better decisions.

Exercise

This goes without saying the benefits of exercise are tremendous. There are books written only on this subject. Exercise not only helps improve your body but also improve your cognitive abilities. There are a lot of studies to back that up.

Now i don’t expect you to become a fitness freak but some exercise will do.

Recommended Books and Courses

Here is the hands down the best books on coding interviews you will find.

At a Glance: Computer Science Vs Information Technology

At the same time, we are all expecting for the revolution (or for the zombies), it is an unquestionable fact that for now, the world relies on computers. Even if your passion is in Computer Science or Information Technology, the particular fields will retain to grow at a faster pace. Meanwhile, you’ll want to pick a career pathway that’s the right destination for you. Formally, the two major fields in this area–CS and IT–may all sounds like names of the same fields, but there are big differences between them.

Computer Science

Computer science is both computer hardware and software design. It covers as a whole the theoretical algorithms and the practical problems. It involves implementing with the help of computer software and hardware. The application of computer science has endless branches, which include artificial intelligence, software engineering, programming, and computer graphics. The necessity for computer science as a discipline has developed, as computers are playing an important role
in our daily lives and technology that lasts to advance.

Information Technology

Information Technology relates to many things. For particular, an IT department in a company. There are lots of people designated on more than one post and with diverse restraints. These restraints bound them from preserving systems and data secure, to keep networks up and running. you have met people who administer databases and bodies who do programming. The one but not the least the decision builders, such as Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), who determine how an IT department will engage and which factors will be acquired.

Aim of the Discussion

Basically what would really concern to you as a student is how far the course curriculum is distinctive? most of the top-notch institutes including all the IIIT’s and the NIT’s have either CS or IT but not both this apparently indicates that the difference between the two branches is not significant enough to warrant their presence on the campus. yet, those colleges or universities who offer both the CS and IT have a minimum difference in their course system.

Conclusion

Genuinely if you have to select from the domains CS or IT and have opportunities from both. It would be wise to take a decision on the basis of the reputation o the college or university rather than the particular domain. At last but important is what thrills you. The computer design and computing systems or fixing the info-management necessities of the institutions using computers.
