Project Ideas For Software Engineering Students

-
Image
The project is the most important thing to do in my university at the end of the semester, but you need to think about the ideas before time, here I am going to tell you some of the projects (subject wise) that you can take in your respective semester to add value in your grades and knowledge, so let's begin... Fundamentals of Programming Game using python e.g. flaming bird game, ping ball, tic tac toe, snake game etc. Page rank Photo Gallery Object Oriented Programming Android application using Android Studio e.g calculator, Vocabulary app etc. File management System Database Systems Web portal using mySql, html, css, php and JavaScript  Database for on-line market University Database Software Engineering Car Rental System Web portal, website  Biometric System for vote casting, attendance etc. Data Structures and Algorithm Work on Search button  Page rank Search using Dictionary, hash tables etc. Translatio...

Pintos : Series : Part3 : Project 1 : Alarm Clock

-
Image
The PintOS project has 27 test cases that we need to pass. In the first project we are just going for the five test cases related to alarm clock that are as under: alarm_multiple alarm_single alarm_simultaneous alarm_negative alarm_zero But before jumping into the code, let's first understand the basic structure of PintOS and how it runs. Consider the following diagram: Here QEMU is an emulator on which pintOS runs. Test cases are the processes that we run on the PintOS (Operating System). So we only need to modify the PintOS code, we are not allowed to make any change to the test cases code as this would be a cheating. When you open up the PintOS directory, in tests/threads/tests.c all the test cases are declared. And in the tests/threads/ directory you can observe files with the extension " .ck " and " .c ". So the " test_Name.c " files are the files in which test cases are defined, while " test_Name.ck " file...

Image
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...

Software Engineering Past Papers

-
Image
When we were in school we used to have surplus amount of  past papers, and we used to practice them in order to get prepared for the exam day. But now in university or college ( till bachelors ), we don't have overabundance of or even sufficient past papers. We tried to get them from our seniors or from the teachers. Teachers mostly do not provide any past paper for practicing and senior students usually don't have them, so from where we can get these papers? How can we practice? If you are the one who is in desperate need of past papers regarding Software Engineering courses then here you go..... GTUInfo provides them for free, it provides the semester wise and subject wise past exam papers.  so what are you waiting for? click this link  and grab the past papers for practicing more and more for improving your grades.

Data Engineering Tools

   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 relat...

NoSQL database

  Data is everywhere, it is expanding with each passing day. Relational Database systems are kind of fixed and static. When we have something in abundance and without any standard formation, then the tables of relational database systems cry out.  So what to do with so many data integrations from several structured as well as unstructured sources. Well, the answer is to go for NoSQL (Not Only SQL). SQL is a structured query language that is used to query Relational Databases. However, NoSQL database does not contain data in the form of relations. Most of the NoSQL databases follow the JSON type structure to store data.    Formal Definition:      Guru99  provides a pretty nice definition for NoSQL databases: " NoSQL Database  is a non-relational Data Management System, that does not require a fixed schema. It avoids joins and is easy to scale. The major purpose of using a NoSQL database is for distributed data stores with humongous data stora...

Github : Part 1 : Introduction

Have you ever gone through the problem of version control while working on some coding project in a group? Did you find it difficult to share code with each member of a group? Yes? Then this blog post is for you... Problem.. Back in days, people used to write code but they found it difficult  to share and control the progress of their code in contact with each other. Say You are in Pakistan while your friend is in New York and both of you are working on some project involving coding and programming. With time to time you need to send some portion of your code to your friend to test it for further progress. After completion of your project you need to send the whole source code to your supervisor living in India. You are using email and Google drive for sending source codes, but this is not feasible but tedious as your friend need to download it then by modifying it on his own computer, send it back to you. This wastes a lot of time and is prone to errors.  Solutio...

Relational Data Model

Image
In the previous blog post, we covered Data Modeling. We have seen that data modeling is really important before jumping into predictive modeling.  In this article, we will cover the Relational Data Model (RDM). Let's start from the very basics, relational means anything which is linked with some other thing. This link is called "Relationship". In RDM or RM there are major three types of relationship cardinalities (also called Multiplicities or Cardianalities): 1. One to one 2. One to many 3. Many to many We can understand these with the help of a few simple examples;  One to one: One department has one manager. One to many: One class has many students. Many to many: Many teachers can teach many students. Okay, so we have got an abstract overview of the term " Relational ", now the next thing is " Data ", data covers everything, anything... And finally, " Model " means something in the form of a template, design, a kind of blueprint.  To store...
