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

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...

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 ...

I hope you have installed PintOS . Now it's time to move forward... In the first assignment we need to check and pass first six test cases of alarm. These are as under: alarm-single alarm-multiple alarm-simultaneous alarm-priority alarm-negative alarm-zero You will find them in " /tests/threads " directory. You need to make changes to " timer_sleep() " function in " timer.c " file under " devices " directory, to pass these tests. But first you should start learning from : here also I have a paper :  here After reading and understanding the reading material, you will be able to start coding! (exceptional cases are always there...) I also need to read it first, so I will let you know more later (after understanding it fully..) So, let's jump right into it (I mean let's start reading!)
