Android or iOS – What Should Be Your Choice When You Have Limited Marketing Budget

Gone are the days of monopoly; it’s the age of duopoly. From beverages to smartphones, almost every market is dominated by two major players. In all honesty, it’s a healthy competition. This is the reason we have seen tremendous development from both the major players in the mobile OS market. In one corner, there is the open-source contender, Android. In the other corner, we have the proprietary champion, iOS. The Android and iOS comparison has become the new PC vs. Mac debate of the tech industry. However, in terms of technology, the competition is only getting tougher. It’s a close call. While fan boys would say Apple is always in the lead, we’d say we have witnessed Android nose out every now and then. Both of them are quickly catching up in terms of app revenue as well. One thing where we can actually draw a clear line of distinction is the budget. In terms of development, Android is a natural choice for businesses with a limited budget. However, what developers often fo

Full Stack Development : All that you need to know

What is a Full Stack Development professional? A full stack development professional is the one who is having a sound technical knowledge of each and every aspect of development – front end, back end, various operating systems among other details of the technology. These people are usually termed as “developer generalists”. The significant thing to be noted here is that full stack developer should not be confused with senior developers. In nutshell, this stack of developers can create any complex application from the scratch, provided they would have understood how each technical layer should interact with the other. Why Full Stack Development? At the beginning of this post, we have mentioned about a query that had instantly popped in the mind – why would a company require full stack development professional. Here’s the answer: 1. Creation of unique code: The developer or the agency would be able to create a unique code for multiple technologies; as they could work with

Six Signs of a Highly Impactful person

It is often said that the first impression is the last impression. Yes, though it is important to be open, ironically we as individuals constantly keep judging people and things.   So, even before you get to know a person well and start interacting with him or her you have already created some perceptions about that person. These perceptions play a very critical role in establishing a relationship of trust with others.   Have you ever wondered what are those aspects of an individual’s personality that silently communicates so much about the person to others?   Technically, we call it the non-verbal communication and is commonly known as body language. Let us take a close look at the Six Signs, that frequently determines whether the person has created a positive impact in the minds of others. Sign 1 – Look into the eyes of the others as you talk to them. While staring into the eyes of the other may make him/ her feel intimidated, too much of emotions while looking into the eyes o

The Incredible Growth of Python

We recently explored how wealthy countries (those defined as high-income by the World Bank) tend to visit a different set of technologies than the rest of the world. Among the largest differences we saw was in the programming language Python. When we focus on high-income countries, the growth of Python is even larger than it might appear from tools like Stack Overflow Trends, or in other rankings that consider global software development. In this post, we’ll explore the extraordinary growth of the Python programming language in the last five years, as seen by Stack Overflow traffic within high-income countries. The term “fastest-growing” can be hard to define precisely, but we make the case that Python has a solid claim to being the fastest-growing major programming language. All the numbers discussed in this post are for high-income countries; they’re generally representative of trends in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, and other such countries, which in com

What 2 Years of Android Development Have Taught Me the Hard Way

I still remember that day back in 2014 when I decided to start Android development, and that was one of the best decisions I took in my life. It has been around two and a half years now and I had the chance to learn and un-learn a lot of things in Android. Initially when I started, I didn’t have a mentor or someone who could guide me to do things the right way. I did a LOT of mistakes and also wasted a lot of time doing and later rectifying them. Later, after one and a half years, I got the chance to work with some really talented and experienced Android developers, who guided me and helped me shape things in a much better way. Both of these phases helped me learn a hell lot of things in the HARD way. I learned what TO DO and most importantly what NOT TO DO. In this article, I will be sharing some of the gems that I have collected in these years. It might help someone to get started faster and not repeat the mistakes that I once did. Disclaimer: I will mainly be focussing on

Articles of Incorporation

Articles of Incorporation are a set of formal documents that establish the existence of a company in the United States and Canada. For a business to be legally recognized as a corporation, it must file these documents with the Secretary of State or company registrar where the company chooses to operate. Some states, such as Nevada and Delaware, attract a large number of firms seeking incorporation due to their favorable tax advantages and regulatory environments. The main components of the Articles of Incorporation include the name of the corporation, type of corporate structure, registered agent, number of authorized shares, and names and signatures of the owners of the corporation. Articles of Incorporation Many states charge a filing fee for companies that choose to incorporate in their jurisdictions. The state fee for filing articles of incorporation for a for-profit corporation ranges from $50 to $500 as of 2017. For non-profit corporations, the filing fee ranges from $0

3 Reasons why you need a programming blog

One of the best things I ever did for my dev career: A little story and three reasons why you should start a programming portfolio website right now. At PyCon Germany I chatted with Astrid, a freelance Python (Django) developer looking for ways to improve her career and to find more contracts. Astrid seemed quite frustrated with her situation—it was tough for her to get the contracts and jobs she really wanted. Often when she sent out her resume for more desirable gigs she wouldn’t even receive an answer. It sounded like she was stuck with a certain quality of clients and couldn’t really push past that invisible barrier. I always love to help a sister (or brother) out and went into full-on diagnosing mode. Usually I just end up spouting unsolicited advice in these situations but with Astrid I think I actually hit the nail on the head… 😉 Eventually I asked Astrid if she had a website or blog as a “programmer portfolio” of sorts. She did not. And I think that was a BIG mistake
