I've been programming in JavaScript for a while, and hearing people speak so highly about Elm inspired me to give it a try! Studying Elm has raised several questions about this language. Five simple database design tips A flawed database can affect all areas of your application, so getting the design right is of paramount importance. Check out Builder's five simple design tips, and share some of your own. If an enterprise’s data is its lifeblood, then the database design can be the most important part of an application. Why Learn R - Best Programming Language Beginner Friendliness Not so Easy to Understand R's learning curve is partially due to its syntax, or the rules of the programming language and how some symbols are defined. R reads less like English, and in general is more difficult for beginners to wrap their heads around.
A dive into spatial search algorithms – Vladimir Agafonkin – Medium I’m obsessed with software performance. One of my main responsibilities at Mapbox is discovering ways to make our mapping platform faster. And when it comes to processing and displaying spatial data at scale, there’s no concept more useful and important than a spatial index. Spatial indices are a family of algorithms that arrange geometric data for efficient search. Ten Common Database Design Mistakes No list of mistakes is ever going to be exhaustive. People (myself included) do a lot of really stupid things, at times, in the name of “getting it done.” This list simply reflects the database design mistakes that are currently on my mind, or in some cases, constantly on my mind. I have done this topic two times before.
Why Learn Python - Best Programming Language Beginner Friendliness Python was designed to be easy to understand and fun to use (its name came from Monty Python so a lot of its beginner tutorials reference it). Fun is a great motivator, and since you'll be able to build prototypes and tools quickly with Python, many find coding in Python a satisfying experience. Thus, Python has gained popularity for being a beginner-friendly language, and it has replaced Java as the most popular introductory language at Top U.S. Universities. Software Testing Anti-patterns · Codepipes Blog 21 Apr 2018 Introduction There are several articles out there that talk about testing anti-patterns in the software development process. Most of them however deal with the low level details of the programming code, and almost always they focus on a specific technology or programming language. In this article I wanted to take a step back and catalog some high-level testing anti-patterns that are technology agnostic. Hopefully you will recognize some of these patterns regardless of your favorite programming language.
Unity 3 – April 2013 patterns & practices Developer Center April 2013 Unity is a lightweight, extensible dependency injection container with support for instance and type interception. Overview Learn R Online - A Guide If you like interactive tutorials, be sure to check Swirl out. You'll have to install R first, however, as the tutorial is actually an installable package that will be run on your R console. They have a comprehensive collection of courses you can download and install, so after you are finished with them all, you should have a pretty good understanding of how to use R for data analysis. This 76-page online PDF aims to introduce total beginners to essential concepts in R programming. The author strives to make the explanations as easy as possible to understand for non-specialists, and perhaps you won't find R as complex as it initially seems after reading this tutorial.
Your first GraphQL component – Abhi Aiyer – Medium If you follow my musings surely you must know how enamored I am with GraphQL. Frequently asked questions I get aren’t really about how it works anymore, but rather: How do I get started and build something? Today I want to get you your first win. Today, let’s build a little UI Component who’s data is backed by a GraphQL API. Audit and document Security User Rights Assignment using C# For more information on the Windows Server documentation abilities of XIA Configuration please see the following We've recently been asked about the auditing of User Rights Assignment as seen in the Local Group Policy Editor. Having looked into this issue it is apparent that this cannot be done with any high level API such as WMI and requires the use of P/Invoke and the Win32 method LsaEnumerateAccountsWithUserRight. I've seen many posts on the Internet on the topic but I haven't seen a simplified example of this in use so have writen a quick C# sample application to enumerate the various rights and privileges and display the users assigned to that right in a grouped listview as per the screenshot below. This can be downloaded from our web site in Visual Studio 2010
The Great A.I. Awakening Four days later, a couple of hundred journalists, entrepreneurs and advertisers from all over the world gathered in Google’s London engineering office for a special announcement. Guests were greeted with Translate-branded fortune cookies. Their paper slips had a foreign phrase on one side — mine was in Norwegian — and on the other, an invitation to download the Translate app. Tables were set with trays of doughnuts and smoothies, each labeled with a placard that advertised its flavor in German (zitrone), Portuguese (baunilha) or Spanish (manzana). After a while, everyone was ushered into a plush, dark theater. Photo A Gentle Introduction to Algorithm Complexity Analysis Dionysis "dionyziz" Zindros <dionyziz@gmail.com> Introduction A lot of programmers that make some of the coolest and most useful software today, such as many of the stuff we see on the Internet or use daily, don't have a theoretical computer science background. They're still pretty awesome and creative programmers and we thank them for what they build. However, theoretical computer science has its uses and applications and can turn out to be quite practical. In this article, targeted at programmers who know their art but who don't have any theoretical computer science background, I will present one of the most pragmatic tools of computer science: Big O notation and algorithm complexity analysis.
