Julia : A New Programming Language

-

After So many programming languages both high level and low level, with different names like python, java, C++ and so on, here comes Julia with all its colors...

It first appeared 6 years ago in 2012, but was not stable at that time. The stable version of Julia has been released on 8th of August, 2018.

Julia is a high level programming language, the pattern in which Julia's made is called Multi dispatch. Multi dispatch is the process in programming languages that allow the program to decide which polymorphic method or function needs to run at run time. Julia permits both functional and Object Oriented Programming. The file name extension for Julia is .jl . Julia also provides the Language Shell where you can write code and see the output. 

The good news about Julia is that it is very friendly language, it allows C and FORTRAN libraries to be used in it with just a keyword ccall . And more importantly, it can be used with all time favorite HTML, JSON, BSON, XML, and other web languages. Also Julia is really smart, it has made GitHub Id too, a publicity stunt I guess..(on a lighter note).

And for dear Python there might be a slight bad news: Julia is strengthening its feet for Machine Learning. This is reported at ZD Net.

So Now, Let me tell you how can you download and install Julia:
  • Go at  julialang.org and Click at the green button labeled Download as shown below:
  • Now Select your OS from here:
  • When Julia is downloaded, click on the .exe  downloaded file, click next for installation:

  • Next, click on finish when installed.
  • Click on Short Cut Icon of julia:
  • And that's it, the colorful interactive shell of Julia is on your screen:

  • Julia is really helpful as by typing ? in the shell you will get:

  • Now say Hello to the new Language, and also be Thankful to Allah for this .
  • Congratulations for beginning a new language Learning Mission
  • Remember, learn as much as you can in this life, and keep applying your learning of good, for good and from good. 


You can learn this language by visiting Julia Documentation. If you are fond of GitHub you can also visit it right here.

   Data is a new oil. To channelize this data we need proper pipelines. These pipelines are mostly called ETL or data pipelines.  There are various tools out there to work out these Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) operations.  Some of the scripting tools are:  - Python - SQL and NoSQL Apache provides a wide range of products that can be used as Data Engineering tools.  Some of the amazing apache DE services comprised of; - Hadoop - Spark - Kafka - Cassandra - Hive In addition, some cool DE tools are: - Tableau - Talend - MapReduce These DE tools provide a way to manage the data pipelines in a more effective, efficient, and better way.  Almost every Data-Oriented company in the corporate sector is highly dependent upon these technologies. They are leveraging many of the above-mentioned mechanisms for promising Data Services and Architecture. That's it for today. Hope you have enjoyed this article. If you want to know more about data or software related concepts, let me know in th

1-Machine Learning : Start...

John went to the cafeteria 10 times at 1:00 P.M. on 10 Fridays, each time the cafeteria was closed at that particular time. John decided not to go to cafe at 1:00 P.M. on Friday because the cafe will be closed.  But wait! How did John know that the cafe will  also be closed on next Friday at 1:00 P.M.??? Yes, you are absolutely right.  "John Learned from his Experience that the Task of going to the cafeteria at 1:00 P.M. on Fridays resulted in waste of time, since the cafe was closed on each Friday, so it will Perform the same on the next Friday." In the above scenario, John learned something so we can call it " John Learning ". Similarly, if we replace John with some sort of Machine, that can learn from the Experience or from the History about how the tasks were performed in the past given certain situation. Such that the Machine will perform the same if the same task happen again in near future. Then this will be called as Machine Learning. To mak

I don't know what should be the title of this blog post, but let's call it " A survey of the final year university students ". Pretty long title, huh? Okay, let me tell you about this survey... The story behind this thing: Well, one day I thought about writing a post on Facebook to ask people about their sentiments and reviews regarding the final year of university life, then another thought knocked my head to write a full blog post on this topic. Then I disseminated a google form for this purpose. The google form was saying: "Hello, final semester people! I thought to collect reviews of 2020 graduates specifically of NUST and other IT universities. I am planning to add these to my blog post. Please take a few seconds to fill this form, thank you." So that was a brief story behind this whole thing, Now let's have a look at the most awaited questions and the corresponding responses...  Question#1:  Do you feel like a better hu

Before digging into E-commerce platforms, let's first understand what an E-commerce actually is? E-Commerce... According to the Tokenization Rule , E-commerce is the combination of "E" and "Commerce".  The word Commerce means trade or buying and selling of items, goods, services, hardwares and, softwares... etc. And " E " stands for "Electronic", electronic means something like electricity, like signals, like something in the form of electrons (at lower level).  Image Source So, the word " E-COMMERCE " means: " A type of trade, that is done using electronic devices (computer, mobile or ATM machines etc). "   And to achieve electronic commerce, what's the most important thing? think over it!  Yeah that's correct! your own Internet is the most important thing to do E-commerce.  Major areas of E-commerce are: On-line shopping or retailing On-line bidding or auction On-line soft

Data Analysis : Reading Habit Analysis

Reading in the 21st century? Are you serious !!! Dr. Suess, an American writer once said: The more that you read, the more things you will know. But how? How to read so much! Why read? How to get motivated to read? If you are in search of these answers, then you are on the right page! In the quest to find the answer to the question: “What motivates you to read?”, I asked different people to respond to this question. Initially, I thought to write a simple article based on different responses I got. then I wondered if I could critically analyze the responses. Hm… critically analyze! but, how? Well, in this era when even kids are using Machine Learning for predicting the amount of Eidi they would get from their grandpa, why couldn’t we use Machine Learning for analyzing reading habit of different people. So, to get started with our analysis, we need some material. Things we need Dataset Machine Learning algorithms Kaggle.com And I think we will run out of

When did you open your Facebook last time? Have you connected with other people on Linked In? If not then, you might have sent an email... What am I talking about? Image Source That's right! I am talking about Web applications . Web applications are the applications that run over the web or an Internet. There are some differences between website and web applications. Difference between Websites and Web applications.. The main differences between websites and web applications are as under: Websites: Provide information as a static file. Not very much interactive. Don't allow the user to do transactions. For example: news feeds, blogs, images etc. Web applications: Provide dynamic data. Interactive rather than just informative. Allow the user to do transactions. For example: bidding sites, on-line shopping sites, mailing sites, facebook, Twitter and Wikipedia etc. How do they work? On an abstract and simple level, The client(web browser

Web Services : AWS (Amazon Web Services)

-
Image
We have discussed the concept of cloud computing in the previous blog post.  If you want to host your website then you will buy a hosting and if you are not using cloud computing service then that web hosting service is a traditional web hosting service. But... If you are using cloud computing as you want; scalability, security, accessibility, availability and flexibility with less work done by yourself, then there comes AWS  (Amazon Web Services). AWS is the first (to my knowledge) cloud computing service provider. It is the daughter company of Amazon. Amazon.Inc was established almost 24 years ago by Mr. Jeffery Preston Bezos . And  about 12 years ago, Amazon.Inc launched a web service naming Amazon Web Services or AWS.  AWS provides a cloud server and you can do a lot of things using that cloud. Main services/products provided by AWS are:  Analytics Application Integration AR and VR (Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality) Cost Management Block Chain Business A

Frameworks vs Libraries vs Services

-

Framework, libraries and services are usually overlapped. In this blog post we'll see how are these things different from one another. First let's have a look at framework .. Let's tokenize this word. Framework is composed of two terms. one is frame and second is work. Frame is anything that you can put something into . Like a photo frame, you have some sort of skeleton in which you can put your photo. but the most important thing is that your photo must be of the size of the frame. If this isn't the case then you might need to buy some other frame or you might need to cut your photo from the borders, or the bottom or the sides or from anywhere. (in order to fit it into the frame) The second word is "work" what does work mean... Well according to Physics you are only doing work if and only if some force is applied and you cover displacement in the direction of applied force. But this is not the case with this work word. Here the work is nothing
