It will be hard sometimes but believe in yourself. You have got it. ( Rahat-Undergraduate ) Try to do good in quizzes and OHTs (One hour test or mids) cause when finals don't go well, these can help in getting good gpa which are comparatively easy then finals.

In a previous blog post about data engineering, we went through several many concepts related to data engineering such as data modeling, and then we went through different types of databases, for example, relational databases and we also got a glimpse of relational as well as NoSQL databases. And in today's blog post we will be writing about data engineer applications. Which are basically the use cases of data engineering 1st let's see what data engineering applications mean; so basically when we have data and we have engineered it then there are several things that we can do with that data and these things that we can do with processed data are the use cases of the data engineering. For example: If we have filled our containers with the data then it's not of any good use if it is not clean and well-formed. If your data is well-formed and if there are no logical mistakes, missing values, and garbage then we can easily perform the use cases and applications of data enginee...

Elasticsearch and Redis : NoSql

Image
The colorful  bubble logo  is of Elasticsearch , while the redish logo is of Redis . First let's talk about Elastic search.. Elasticsearch is an open source search engine. Now, what is a search engine? Search engine is basically a website, for example: google.com, yahoo.com, bing and MSN. What we look as Google chrome, Safari or Internet Explorer is basically a Web browser. Let's say we type "www.facebook.com" in a web browser's address bar , then the web browser will take us directly to the website "facebook.com". As for search engine, if we type in its search bar , "www.facebook.com", then it will open up different links according to the search algorithm. So Elasticsearch is like a search engine. But it is different from traditional search engines. Like in most of the search engines, tables are used to store data, while elasticsearch is no schema based search engine. In place of tables, JSON documents are used in Elasticsearch. I...

Version Control Tools: SVN

-
Image
Someone once said:  The past cannot be changed, forgotten, edited, or erased. It can only be accepted . But then programming came into being and it stated that "you can change your past, but only the code past". Meaning; what you have coded earlier you can change, edit and improve it. And for that you need to have something like revision history, from where you can get the idea of what you have done (coded) in the past.  Questioning.. So how would you keep the history of your code? Would you make several copies after doing each and every change? Or will you opt for "control/command + z"? Obviously you don't go for such an inefficient way of controlling the version/history of your code while working on some large project. Answering... So here comes "version control systems". These systems/softwares are specially designed to help you in controlling the version of your project codes. They also enable you to share your code and collaborate...
