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 to do with displacement or W = FS  more specifically.
Well, in computer science, framework is an abstract implementation of functionality that user extended for his/her software. There are basic two spots in the framework, the one that user can't do anything about is called frozen spot. While the one in which user can add the functionality corresponding to the software application is called hot spot.
For example; web framework (Laravel) for website designs.
Frameworks is based upon OCP (Open Close Principle). Meaning they are open for extension but closed for modification. In  programming we can extend the frameworks by using inheritance and composition relationships. 

Now what are the Libraries...

As to our knowledge the library is the place where we use to go for study. So what's inside those libraries are the books. What we get from the books is the information. There are plethora of formulas, mathematical expressions, well defined structures in the books that we use as it is for solving different problems. Similarly in computer programming, programmers wrote certain libraries that help them or other programmers to re-use already made functions. 
For example: Java Libraries, C++ libraries etc.
There are basic two type of libraries:

  • Static Library
    • One that is used in compile time.
  • Dynamic Library
    • One that is used in run time.

Services on the other hand...

Are the assistance provided to the application using the network (Internet). The application can use the service remotely for particular functionality. For example: http services (web services).

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

   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.

Applications of Data Engineering

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

Web Services : AWS (Amazon Web Services)

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

Yes, you have to take notes in the university class!  Before talking about the notetaking strategy, we will understand the importance of taking notes. Importance Of Taking Notes No doubt there are a few students who can produce good results without even taking notes in the class. But their number is least. Most of us need to make good notes in the class especially when we are in university. Notes are important because: They help us to keep track of what we have studied in the whole semester. Notes help us to prepare for the exams, in a very short time. We can refer to our notes for short quizzes in the eleventh hour. In addition to reading and listening, writing notes increases the ability to memorize the important concepts. It helps you to realize that you have done something in the class. Now that we have understood Why to take notes? Let's dig into the notetaking strategy  Notes taking Strategies One of my friends Ramlah Aamir Aziz used to take note

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
