Infographic: How to Choose Your First Programming Language (Based on the Life You Want) March 25, 2019 bizadmin Programmers have an easy life. There’re tons of jobs, and the jobs pay well. Even if you don’t want to pursue programming as a career, it still makes sense to learn to code, especially for jobs in web design, digital marketing, business and IT. But what language should you learn? Udacity.com made a pretty cool infographic (shown below) that helps you choose. But I want to go a little deeper. Building on their excellent chart (found at the bottom of this post), I’m going to break recommendations down into specific categories based on what you want to do. For example, recommendations for travel lovers, designers, IT people or those in other career paths. I have interviewed many candidates over the past 24 months for various roles and often compared notes with other tech companies who are hiring. This gives me a good idea of where technology is heading in the long term. (Quick disclosure that I now work for IBM.) How to work from anywhere Do you love to travel? You should choose web languages like Python and invest less time in learning C. Cloud platforms to learn: Think high-level: Heroku, BlueMix, Azure. Amazon AWS is good to know, but has a big learning curve in comparison to the other options. As a newbie, you will want to focus on programming concepts, not configurations. You can find remote work opportunities in Stack Overflow Careers and Angel.co. How to make cool hardware If you plan on making physical things, there are 2 great hobbyist prototyping boards: Raspberry Pi and Arduino. In my opinion, Raspberry Pi is a better starting point, since Python is easier to learn than C. But if you want to do hardware, C (and C++) is ultimately unavoidable. However, for personal “Internet of Things” projects, sometimes it’s easier to buy a cheap iPhone or Android with a broken screen. You can instantly track your smartphone’s 3D position and vibration with no programming using IBM’s BlueMix IoT demo. You can then modify their Python demo code and do cool things. (Like hiding the iPhone under your ex’s mattress and finding patterns.) How can I increase my pay as a programmer? Aside from learning a new language, one strategy is to learn more niche enterprise systems. For example, you can learn about big data systems such as Hadoop and Spark. (There are many places to learn these technologies for free, like IBM’s Big Data University or EdX.org.) What if my chosen career isn’t programming? For IT and web design, I have recommendations below. But what about other industries, where having some programming knowledge can help? First, if you don’t know what sumif() is, you should probably invest in a course in Excel. Spreadsheets are a lot more powerful than people think. Most programmers will try to use a spreadsheet to calculate something (if possible) before diving into code. For example, to make a cool graphical chart out of data, it would take minutes in Excel but many hours (or even days) of raw programming time. After that, you should learn: HTML: Every website is written in HTML. (And, many apps now are as well.) Whether you’re trying to go beyond the basics in WordPress, or need to set up digital marketing tools, some HTML is good to know. CSS: CSS, or “cascading stylesheetscolors are a special formatting code used by websites to choose the fonts and colours used on a webpage. Basic JavaScript: A little bit of JavaScript will help if you need to fiddle with a website plug-in for your boss. Either PHP, Visual Basic and ASP.net: Those are very easy languages to learn independently that will let you make something useful quickly. Again, these are languages used in everyday scripting and website work. For example, WordPress is written in PHP. Visual Basic lets you make custom Windows apps quickly (but not websites). Knowing languages like Python or Java isn’t going to help much with “average Joe workday” programming problems. (Those are mainly used for larger-scale computer server programming, app development or systems scripting.) Worth noting, it’s pretty easy to move from JavaScript or PHP to Python later on. The basic concepts are the same. What programming language should I learn for an IT career? If you’re a Windows guy, then learn HTML and PowerShell. If you’re a Linux guy, then it’s HTML and bash scripting. You don’t need to learn to program to make big money in IT: IT people with certifications or specialization in enterprise technologies make about as much as programmers, occasionally more. But knowing how to script is an edge. What programming language should a web designer learn? Learning CSS-based languages like SASS is a great first step. Then, focus on JavaScript. Finally, learn Node.js, which is just JavaScript that runs on a server. The Node.js market is hot and will be for a long time. Do not leave JavaScript. Instead, specialize in it with Node.js and learn it in depth. (Note that over time, io.js may replace Node.js. You’ll need to keep up with the JavaScript community.) A final note about the chart When Udacity charted the trend for JavaScript, I do not think they factored in that Node.js is simply JavaScript that runs outside of a web browser. The demand for Node.js in 2015 has been insanely high. To hire someone with solid Node.js experience would be hard without a six-figure offer (as of October 2015). As more people learn Node.js, the market might cool off a little. Fair warning: Node.js gets a lot hairier than traditional JavaScript. So, if you’re a beginner, start with traditional JavaScript and move to Node.js later. Featured photo credit: Riona Fitzpatrick at CoderDojo, by connor2nz (Flickr) via flickr.com
FastestVPN Review February 15, 2019 bizadmin The VPN market is arguably getting saturated with new VPN services popping up every year. It’s hard not to see many, it not all, of them as a “me too” attempt. But among such services can emerge a VPN service that has the potential to be the best. And that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about as we discuss a new VPN service which goes by the name FastestVPN. Overview: Operating out of the Cayman Islands, FastestVPN is a relatively new VPN in the market; relative to the other VPNs in the market which it hopes to compete with. First things first, it’s a big relief that FastestVPN operates out of the Cayman Islands, that’s a big plus in its favor straightaway. For those unaware, Cayman Islands does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Five Eyes. Five Eyes is alliance of five major countries; United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, and New Zealand. The primary function of this alliance is to keep a tight watch on its citizen via signal intelligence. This has been a major concern for people living in the respective countries. Operating in a land that does not fall under Five Eyes’ jurisdiction means that the government cannot ask the VPN service to record logs or provide information about you. Let’s dive in to the features that make FastestVPN a promising new VPN service. Security As much as government surveillance is a concern, data theft is an equally big concern. When we share data through an unsecured network, it’s susceptible to theft by hackers. It is especially when you’re using public Wi-Fi hotspots as such networks are generally very unsecure. Someone on the same network could potentially snoop on your online activity and steal personal information. VPN prevents this by encrypting your data. FastestVPN features the highly-reliable AES 256-bit encryption technology. It’s used even by the United States military to secure communication. You can expect your internet traffic to be secure as possible, because it’s virtually impossible to break AES 256-bit encryption because of the computing power required. Geographic Coverage Geographic coverage is an important factor when deciding for a VPN. The more geographic locations a VPN service covers, the more locations you spoof as. FastestVPN features a network of more than 150 servers worldwide. The figure is quite low compared to other more established VPNs but it covers all the important geographic locations like the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, and more. The figure will only grow overtime as FastestVPN continues to flourish in the market. App Compatibility FastestVPN offers dedicated apps for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. The apps come preconfigured right out-of-the-box, so no work is required on your part. Just download, install, and start using. But support for platforms extends beyond that. It actually supports more than 20 platforms including video-games consoles, Roku, and Linux. FastestVPN can be configured directly in the Router which effectively provides VPN protection on devices for which there is no dedicated app support. There are a couple of installation tutorials available on their website. It also comes with the option to switch between protocols. You can manually set protocols for the best compatibility with devices. Here’s the complete list of VPN protocols available: PPTP L2TP OpenVPN Xsec OpenConnect IKEv2 Pricing It boils down to pricing where FastestVPN distinguishes itself in this saturated market. There are multiple packages for customers to choose from, starting with a one month package. At the time of writing this article, FastestVPN is offering up to 92% discount. Check out the packages: 5 Year Plan – $49.95 3 Year Plan – $39.95 1 Year Plan – $29.95 1 Month Plan – $10.00 It’s very competitive pricing. FastetsVPN also offers 7-day money-back guarantee to customers. Customer support is present 24/7. There’s live chat support and email support. Conclusion FastestVPN has the top VPN features and competitive packages that earns it a strong position in the market. The only little drawback is the low number of servers, but the ones that are there work well. And the figure is only going to grow with time. The money-back guarantee should provide you with confidence in giving this VPN a try.

How to Start a Web Design Project – DesignModo November 6, 2018 bizadmin There’s a first time for everything — and it’s finally time for your very first web design project! While landing your first gig is a huge accomplishment in itself, keeping your first client happy requires a whole different set of skills. You’re not just a designer — you’re a project manager, and offering a great customer service experience is essential for winning over your clients’ repeat business, so you’ll need to be on target from day one. But where should you begin? You may not have learned so much project management in school, so we’d like to offer up a few tips. The infographic below outlines every stage of the web design process from start to finish. The first step of a web design project is learning what your client wants: her overall objectives, the purpose of the website, her audience, the features she requires. Remember, this is her project, not yours. You’re here to bring her vision to life — and hopefully, to offer some creative insights that will make the website even better than she imagined. You’ll need to know your client’s goals up front because that’s how you’ll determine a budget. Next, outline budget and timeline in a written agreement. This agreement holds your client to her side of the contract, but holds you accountable, too. So you’ve set expectations up front — great! Now you need to do a little research. Part of your job is determining the best possible user experience for the site, and that usually means creating user personas to determine how to meet the needs of target users. Every great website serves a purpose and facilitates that purpose to the greatest degree possible, so that’s what you’ll want to deliver! At least, we think you do. The wireframe that results from all this research and planning helps to make your plans clear to your client. Managing your client’s wireframe feedback can be challenging, but here’s a rule of thumb: if she makes a suggestion that you think will hurt the aesthetic or functionality of the site, push back in a polite and professional manner — after all, the client isn’t just paying for your skills, she’s paying for your training and expertise. But in the end, this is her website, not yours. Balance your professional opinions with the demands of your client and you’ll make it through this stage unscathed. Now it’s time for the coding — your favorite part! But once all the coding is done, don’t forget to run diagnostics and check for browser compatibility. Turning in an untested site is one sure way to look unprofessional in your client’s eyes. When you were in school, you probably thought the coding would be the hardest part of your future profession, but managing a project can be just as challenging. Luckily, keeping your clients happy can also be the greatest reward of a site well-built. Andrian Valeanu – DesignModo.com Founder
Have Faith in Yourself – Richard Branson October 3, 2018 bizadmin Like the Nike Tagline, “Just Do It!” Believe it can be done. Have goals and prepare well. Also help each other out. The stronger should help the weaker and likewise the smarter should help the slower ones. It is a life of give and take. You cannot hoard knowledge to yourself without sharing to others and help them up. That is why schools and colleges have professors and supervisors to guide the students to greater heights of success and knowledge. Have Fun Have fun while working hard and money will come to you. Don’t waste time and procrastinate. Grab every opportunity that comes your way. Also, have a positive outlook on life. And if it becomes a drudgery, move on. Don’t dwell on something that you are struggling with and instead, work on your strengths. For instance, if programming is something that is hard to master, then dwell on writing articles and blogging which may be easier to make money online. Be Bold Calculate the risks and take them. More importantly, believe in yourself. Just like the scriptures, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13. Chase your dreams and goals. Have no regrets of past failures, neither worry about the future. Just live in the present and do your utmost best. Be bold and keep your word and promises. Nobody wants to deal with dishonest persons. Challenge Yourself Aim high and try new things. Always try and challenge yourself. Be the best that you can be and don’t compare with others. There are others who are better off while there are others who are worse off than you. Stand on Your Own Feet Rely on yourself and God to help you out. Don’t be too dependent on others, for they may disappoint you or give bad advice. Chase your dreams, but live in the real world. And work together. Two heads are better than one. Live the Moment Enjoy life and live it to the full. Enjoy the moment while reflecting on your life. Make every second count and don’t have regrets. Also, don’t sleep too much for those who refuse to life a finger, may come to poverty. Make hay while the sun shines and in your best years, work hard before your retirement in your golden years. Value Family and Friends Life is about relationships. No one is a island. Hence we need to value family and friends while they are still here. Be loyal. Face problems head on. Money is for making things happen. Pick the right people in your inner circle and reward talent. Have Respect Be polite and respectful. Do the right thing. Keep your good name and be fair in all your dealings. Hence the above expound on the info graphic of having faith in yourself by Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin airlines.
Coding In The Classroom: 10 Tools Students Can Use To Design Apps and Video Games August 8, 2018 bizadmin 1. Hackety Hack is a downloadable application for Windows that walks students through the ground-floor basics of Ruby, an object-oriented programming language that can also be used to develop web applications with the help of the Rails framework. Students learn to use the Shoe toolkit to build graphical interfaces and, by logging into the Hackety Hack app, their programs can be shared with other users. 2. Code School is a learning platform with a simple, straightforward name and a simple, straightforward approach to teaching programming. Students can direct their own learning experiences by taking courses one at a time as needed or following prepared paths for Ruby, JavaScript, iOS and HTML/CSS. The platform uses a badge- and prize-based incentive system that some students might recognize from online gaming. 3. Scratch, a brainchild of MIT Media Lab, is its own programming language that allows students to program interactive animations, games, and stories while sharpening their problem-solving skills and learning important programming concepts. Although Scratch is designed for students aged 8-16, beginning programmers of all ages can use it to get an easygoing introduction to the type of mental processes that app developers use to build their programs. 4. PurposeGames is a Web-based app that allows students to create games and quizzes for their friends, family and fellow students. The games and quizzes are usually based on general knowledge and fairly simple to understand and develop, so creators on PurposeGames can get started without any previous experience in game design or programming. 5. Treehouse has an extensive library of instructional videos and training exercises and a mission to bring affordable technology education to people everywhere. Although the training available at Treehouse does seem to be tailored for career-age learners, younger students with a certain type of learning style can also benefit from the expert instruction and interactive “code challenges” used to check their progress. 6. Codea is an iPad app that allows students, parents, programmers or anyone to develop their own interactive iPad apps in a richly graphical coding environment. With a slick user interface and an intuitive, touch-and-drag method of enacting code syntax, Codea provides access to dynamic control functions like the iPad’s accelerometer and multitouch display without demanding that students understand how lines of textual code translate to colors, shapes, and actions. 7. Code Monster and Code Maven are a pair of simple, step-at-a-time JavaScript tutorials designed for preteens and teens or adults, respectively. Both apps start off with very basic shape-drawing functions and progress gradually to include functions that use complex mathematics, physics, and syntax to accomplish effects with impressive graphical feedback. These basic, self-guided tutorials could be great for kids who might find lectures or other instructional materials hard to follow. 8. Alice is a first-step programming environment that introduces students to simple programming concepts through the creation of animated stories and simple interactive games. The interface contains graphical elements that represent standard statements in object-oriented programming languages such as C++, C#, and Java, and students can drag and drop these elements into relationships with one another to see how the programming statements affect the behavior of their animation. 9. AppMakr bills itself as an app creation platform that allows students to make not only mobile apps for iPhone and Android but also HTML5 websites formatted for mobile devices. This app-making app has both free and paid versions with varying levels of richness to its feature suite and includes a personal dashboard to manage updates and keep track of usage statistics. 10. Programmr is a browser-based app that functions as an online learning lab for students who learn best at their own pace. The 15 programming technologies available to learn on Programmr can be used individually or in combination to create command-line programs, web apps, mobile apps, rich media apps and more. The app even comes with an “auto-faculty” feature that can check students’ work in any of the offered languages. If none of the above seem like the right thing for you or your student, don’t hesitate to search around for something that might be a better fit. Whether it’s working on the nuts and bolts with text code or using an app to create your apps, the exact toolset you need has got to be out there somewhere. – Justin Boyle is a writer, editor and designer who works in media production for an ecology non-profit.
