Introduction Numerous articles and blogs are accessible on the Internet that includes a wealth of information on PHP Vs ASP.NET. Unfortunately, the majority of these blog postings are slanted and often favor one party over another. By staying true to the research, this article conducts an unbiased comparison of the two most prevalent technologies in today’s world, namely PHP and ASP.NET. On the one hand, we have PHP, the world’s most widely used and popular web technology, with billions of committed PHP engineers worldwide. On the other hand, we have Microsoft’s ASP.NET platform. At times, it’s tough to decide which technology (PHP or Asp.net) to choose for our application or website development project. Since a lot of people keep cost-effectiveness as their first factor of priority, they tend to defocus on quality or performance. There are many factors that affect the cost of developing .Net Apps as well as PHP Apps. However, that also depends on ... Continue reading →

Web3 is the next iteration of the web. As opposed to Web1, which consisted of static web pages, and Web2, which brought us web apps and the web as a platform, Web3 consists of decentralized networks built on blockchains.   There is a high demand for Web3 developers, as relatively few current developers are experts in this field.

Combining data integration with .Net is more like combining chocolate and peanut butter! There is no denying the fact that .Net development has gained the limelight like none other framework. So why not consider the benefits of using data integration and .Net altogether. Does the following post focus on how big data integration and .Net can be beneficial? Now before we proceed any further, let’s meet the .Net framework and Big data individually. Introducing .Net and Big data I am sure you must have come across several blog posts about .Net framework in today’s times .Net is one of the leading open-source platforms supported by a Tech Giant named Microsoft.

Java is an object-oriented language that’s been around since the 1990s. Originally designed to make application development easier, consistent upgrades through the years have kept Java up to date and increased its cross-platform capabilities. Consequently, Java is still a favorite for many developers, even in the modern world of containers and Kubernetes. While Java is a favorite for many reasons, there are also significant challenges related to resource management, such as resource contention. Kubernetes solved part of the resource management problem by addressing the resource contention issues. Before containers, we would deploy processes onto a machine and give them access to all its memory and CPU processing time. This meant that each process viewed the unused CPU time and memory as its own. It’s like having a bunch of children who all believe they own the playground. Conflicts would frequently occur whenever more than one process claimed more resources to remain ... Continue reading →

When Time magazine called Java one of the 10 best products of 1995, a new American marketing legend was born. Who's to say whether Sun Microsystems' prized technology would have fared so well if its name had remained Oak or Greentalk, two of the earlier choices. We all know the story: Give away an elegant, open source programming environment and the world will beat a path to your door. No sweat, no matter what you decide to call it. The people charged with establishing a brand identity for Sun's programming language for next-generation application developers, though, decided upon a coffee metaphor for their trademark. Oak, the previous name, was taken. But why they chose Java by their own accounts, was something of a mystery. This group interview, originally published by JavaWorld in 1996, offers a fascinating look back on how Java got its name.  How Java became Java "The lawyers had told us that we couldn't use the name ...

Markdown is a popular format for writing web content. Its compromise between HTML and plain English allows writers to use a more familiar syntax. It can greatly help ease the day-to-day running of multi-author blogs and similar sites. Markdown can be particularly useful if you would like to create a blog or have multiple web pages with content. Using Markdown files allows you to focus more on the content, rather than the code around that content. You can integrate Markdown with Angular using the ngx-markdown node package, and by configuring it to work within a component. Setting Up an Angular Application If you do not already have an Angular application, you can download this sample Angular application from GitHub. On the project page on GitHub, click on the Code button. Select Download ZIP. For more information check this popular resource. Continue reading →

Nowadays it is impossible to write frontend code without a build tool. We work with TypeScript and Sass to bundle and optimize our code. Gulp was my choice for the last three years. But lately I have been growing frustrated with the overhead it brings. Doing what you want can be very hard, especially if what you need does not exist in a ready-made recipe. And if you try to write your own plugins, streams and buffers can scare you off. For my open source JavaScript packages I always used node modules to build the code. This made me wonder, could I do the same for my website? It turns out, you can, and others had this idea as well.   Advantages of Npm as a Build Tool The biggest advantage for me is that you have one less dependency chain. You don’t need to download and learn a build tool. With npm, which you already use, you use simple CLI commands or Node.js scripts. Using modules in the CLI instead of via the build tool wrapper ...

O n 16 March, 20 days after Russia invaded Ukraine, users of the Vue.js development framework were panicking. Vue is a set of tools that makes it easier for developers to build interfaces for websites and web applications, including at companies like Facebook, Netflix and Nintendo. According to BuiltWith, it powers 19.8 per cent of the world’s biggest 10,000 websites. So, what does a popular programming tool have in common with the war in Ukraine? Under the hood, Vue, like all tools of its kind, relies on a bundle of other software packages that it automatically downloads. Software packages make it easier for programmers to add functionality to their applications without having to code it from scratch. In this case, Vue included a dependency on a package called “node-ipc”, whose developer decided to add a small amount of code that would create a text file containing anti-war messages on the desktops of those who use it. But if the package was installed on a device ... Continue reading →
