F# can be useful for the parallel programming?

2011-05-26T10:31:00.000-07:00

Microsoft F# 2.0 is a highly efficient and flexible language that is used to create analytical, data-rich software components. Supported by a suite of professional toolset in Visual Studio 2010 and utilizing the complete power of the .NET platform, the language is an ideal platform to help .Net developers in using the current development techniques for enterprise computing.

F# 2.0 blends both the object-oriented and functional programming to allow the rapid development of simple code in order to solve complex problems. It is ideally apt for performing complex numeric computations across different sets of data that have been applied to financial, statistical, engineering, testing, event-processing, and general purpose software components. .Net developers in India realize that analytical software based components form the crux for innumerable data-rich and calculation based enterprise applications that range anywhere between financial risk models and analysis applications to business intelligence tools.

Microsoft F#2.0 is truly an effective and flexible language that allows .Net developers to create analytical and data-rich computation and parallel software components. Undoubtedly F#2.0 components can easily be deployed along with enterprise software assets in quite a similar manner to .NET code. .Net developers realize that:

F# is completely interoperable with Visual Basic and C# and is also part of Visual Studio 2010.
F# can easily enjoy access to most of the important enterprise data sources such as SQL databases and web services.
F# allows .Net developers to interoperate with other .NET parallel programming technologies including the .NET 4.0 task parallel library.
F# components can be implemented as both computational parts in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets as well as in accordance with other Microsoft productivity technologies.
.Net developers in India can also use F# components as a code-behind in ASP.NET and Silverlight web applications.

Due to these reasons, it is categorically clear that F#2.0 offers a perfect combination of readable code that is strong and concise and can be integrated with COM and .NET libraries. There are a host of benefits associated with F#2.0 and most .Net developers in India realize these benefits are a boon for them.

The F#2.0 language ensures low development and maintenance costs which means the language allows fast prototyping, minimal error rates and increased reliability. All these factors do contribute towards reduction in maintenance costs. Rapid prototyping is enabled through a kind of a tool that allows .Net developers to interactively solve problems through the usage of professional components. Another advantage is fewer errors and this has been made possible through the combination of the F# REPL and the professional project system in Visual Studio that assists .Net developers in India to easily transition different prototypes into high quality yet manageable code.

Another benefit of using F#2.0 that .Net programming language completely supports it and can even work with the existing .NET applications and COM components. It is also completely integrated with Visual Studio thereby allowing .Net developers to enjoy the benefit of professional editing, project management, building, performance and debugging tools.

Principal Design Features of .net development platform

2010-09-16T10:57:00.000-07:00

This article explains some of the principal design features of .net development framework. Also, it helps in understanding the functionality we can have while doing development on .net platform.

Interoperability

.net framework allows access functionality that is implemented in programs which has been executed outside the .net environment. To establish that .net is having P/Invoke feature.

Common Runtime Engine with Common Language Runtime

CLR is a VM component of .net framework that does supervision of all .net program execution. It actually ensures proper memory management, security, and exception handling.

Language Independence

.net framework facilitate with CTS which specifies different datatypes and programming construct supported by CLR. With .net platform, you are given independence to use any language to write the code. .net interpret the code as some uniform code at compile time and thus at run-time.

Base Class Library

    The Base Class Library (BCL), part of the Framework Class Library (FCL), is a library of functionality available to all languages using the .NET Framework. The BCL provides classes which encapsulate a number of common functions, including file reading and writing, graphic rendering, database interaction, XML document manipulation and so on.
Simplified Deployment

Security

    The design is meant to address some of the vulnerabilities, such as buffer overflows, that have been exploited by malicious software. Additionally, .NET Development provides a common security model for all applications.

Portability

    The design of the .NET Framework allows it to theoretically be platform agnostic, and thus cross-platform compatible. That is, a program written to use the framework should run without change on any type of system for which the framework is implemented.

Business Intelligence - A never setting Sun for Business Planning Growth

2010-07-08T20:04:00.000-07:00

Now, days there are trend make software business intelligent. But what exactly they mean to be?

Business Intelligence: It captures and gathered data for business process, and manages data, analyze data, and take decision from past majored data in such way that makes business activity smooth and up to date.

We have gone through many types of business and have successfully developed software that can be called real Business Intelligence software. In BI, we can’t say that software can only be built in particular technology, that all are depends on the requirement and business process.

BI includes Data mining, Data Analyze, Online Analytical Processing, and reporting, these are various part of BI application. Each Part is depends on another and whole these parts makes an application that helps to run business for large or mediums size organization or even for an enterprise.

Business types includes from food selling to car selling, each has their own activity and process, but if we say about core functionality like purchase, sell, management, analyze data, report for various activity will be very similar and they will show different figure with different values as per business to business.

In, BI software it is also important that, where do we require to implement as implementation may decide which technology should be chosen to develop. If we talk about MS platform, there are ranges of product already available which provides BI, we just need to customize as per need, apart from that we can develop BI software from scratch using various key tools of Microsoft like Visual studio, MS SQL Server etc.Other technology has also provided so many types of tools and technology to build up BI software as in java; we have swing, hibernate etc.

What so ever technology or platform chosen for BI software (Business Intelligence Software), but the purpose of BI will be same “Business should run smoothly and get up to date information at each activity”.

Information on iphone OS architecture

2010-05-12T12:50:00.000-07:00

The iPhone is a line of Internet and multimedia-enabled smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc., and released in 2007. An iPhone functions as a camera phone (also including text messaging and visual voicemail), a portable media player (equivalent to a video iPod), and an Internet client (with e-mail, web browsing, and Wi-Fi connectivity). The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard rather than a physical one.

The iPhone (and iPod Touch) run an operating system known as iPhone OS. It is based on a variant of the same Darwin operating system core that is found in Mac OS X. Also included is the "Core Animation" software component from Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.

iPhone OS comprises the operating system and technologies that you use to run applications natively on iPhone touch devices. Although it shares a common heritage and many underlying technologies with Mac OS X, iPhone OS was designed to meet the needs of a mobile environment, where user’s needs are slightly different.

This layering gives you choices when it comes to implementing your code. For example, the Core OS and Core Services layers contain the fundamental interfaces for iPhone OS, including those used for accessing files, low-level data types, Bonjour services, network sockets, and so on. These interfaces are mostly C-based and include technologies such as Core Foundation, CFNetwork, SQLite, and access to POSIX threads and UNIX sockets among others.

As you move into the upper layers, you find more advanced technologies that use a mixture of C-based and Objective-C based interfaces. For example, the Media layer contains the fundamental technologies used to support 2D and 3D drawing, audio, and video. This layer includes the C-based technologies OpenGL ES, Quartz, and Core Audio. It also contains Core Animation, which is an advanced Objective-C based animation engine.

In the Cocoa Touch layer, most of the technologies use Objective-C. The frameworks at these layers provide the fundamental infrastructure used by your application. For example, the Foundation framework provides object-oriented support for collections, file management, network operations, and more. The UIKit framework provides the visual infrastructure for your application, including classes for windows, views, controls, and the controllers that manage those objects. Other frameworks at this level give you access to the user’s contact and photo information and to the accelerometers and other hardware features of the device.
iPhone Development
Regarding third party support:

At WWDC 2007 on June 11, 2007 Apple announced that the iPhone would support third-party "web applications" written in Ajax that share the look and feel of the iPhone interface.[147] On October 17, 2007, Steve Jobs, in an open letter posted to Apple's "Hot News" weblog, announced that a software development kit (SDK) would be made available to third-party developers in February 2008. The iPhone SDK was officially announced on March 6, 2008, at the Apple Town Hall facility.[148] It allows developers to develop native applications for the iPhone, as well as test them in an "iPhone simulator".

Security Manager

Class defines check methods called by system
E.G. “checkRead(String filename)”
Method throws exception if invalid
To create a security policy from scratch:
Create a subclass (code) & instantiate
Install using System.setSecurityManager; this cannot be revoked or replaced
This is used to create the Sandbox
If no SecurityManager installed, all privileges granted

Difference Between 3G and 4G Technologies

2010-04-14T01:02:00.000-07:00

Representing the third and fourth generations of mobile technology respectively, 3G and 4G networks have many differences. Most notably, their rates of data transfer and signal quality are highly divergent. However, the implementation of 4G networks has faced many hurdles. Unlike 3G, 4G technology is not fully defined by governing bodies in charge of wireless technology.

Misconceptions

In reality, 4G networks do not exist as of the end of 2009. The system often referred to as "4G" is simply an advanced form of 3G, called 3.9G by the ITU. The official name designated by the organization for the technology is "3G Long-Term Evolution."

Function

3G and 4G networks offer divergent levels of data transfer from sources to a device. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), 3G provides 14 megabits per second (Mbit/s) download and 5.8 Mbit/s upload. This is compared to the projected minimum 100 Mbit/s transfer speed of 4G.

Features

According to the ITU, 3.9G networks use a form of antenna system known as spatial multiplexing. Using the smart antenna features from 3G technology, 3.9G deploys a number of these antenna both to transmit and to receive, allowing for a better signal.

History

The first major milestone in the development of the 4G network occurred in February 2007. A Japanese company known as NTT DoCoMo achieved transmission rates of 5 gigabytes a second. Comparatively, 3G networks were launched in 2001 with little advancement beyond expanded service areas.

Significance

The ITU standardized 3G networks for use with both circuit- and packet-based networks, meaning the data is transferred both through wired and wireless networks. 4G is set up to use the packet technology only, being the first generation of technology to be completely wireless.

Features of ASP .Net Development

2010-03-13T05:25:00.000-08:00

In today’s competitive business environment, ASP.Net development is becoming very prominent and most reliable. Because of the robustness of ASP .Net developers are developing application in ASP .Net.

Dynamic web applications and web services can be created using ASP .Net. From small web site to a large one can be created with an ease and with a full feature. An ASP .Net developer makes the use of .Net framework which contains huge classes, its libraries and predefined functions. To execute an ASP .Net program we use Common Language Runtime which gives the runtime environment.

To create ASP .Net web forms and to deploy the web application we use Visual studio .Net. To access to various data source like Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and DB2 it provide support to ADO. Net. Event it provide support to mobile devices using only one code base.

Here are some of the features of ASP .Net development which the ASP .net developers can use.

Control: It provides a set of controls for creating the rich web pages.
Themes: Give you the option to customize the look and feel of the application.
Rich-Output Caching: Gives the option to cache the data to avoid the recreation of information.
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF): It will make the use of a service-oriented programming model which finally simplifies the development of linked applications.

Non-technical skills which a .net developer must have

2010-03-13T04:55:00.000-08:00

.net developers develop high and powerful emerging web application which helps programmers to create dynamic web services, web applications and website. But if you want to carry the project successfully then you must have some skills. This blog gives you the information on skills which a .net developer must have according to the software companies.

The software companies which work on .net application development require .net developers who can develop higher level of application and should have certain skills. Apart from technical skills there are companies which look for other qualities also such as how you perform task being a team member. Hence a .Net developer should have the following qualities if they want to deliver the project successfully.

You must comment newly implemented functions.
You must deliver the project on time.
You must be confident of the things you are doing because it will make your work accurate. And always remember that confidence is a key to success.
You must maintain integrity in application development and you must do your work without any error and ego.

.net application development is a boom to the software field

2010-03-13T04:38:00.000-08:00

With the evolution of hardware and growth of hardware it has become the growth and improvement in the efficiency of the software, this very thing was understood by Microsoft and they enter their step into the field of operating system which is cross platform for the .net developers and users as well.

With this keeping in mind Microsoft designed the .Net framework which has the environment similar to the JavaScript in the way of its interaction, security and compilation. In the recent few years the market of software has evolved in the very large pace and the demand of software has also become higher more then the expectation.

With this accelerated frown of the demand of the software Microsoft start focusing on the market and started working on cross platform applications, which can be used with any kind of hardware and without taking care of the language selection. Now with the outcome of .Net application development the worry to the developers for the programming language selection get ended. Now they even do not have to worry about the hardware capabilities because of the use of “Common Language Runtime” by the Microsoft in .Net.

Microsoft .net Application Development provides all necessary class libraries including of objects which are needed for the development. It provides both Non GUI and GUI interface to the developers. .Net application development is so flexible that developers started using it with other programming languages like C++, C# and Visual basic etc.

As user demand is growing day by day .Net application development is also improving a lot without any limit.

Must Know things about ASP .net Application Development

2010-03-10T02:30:00.000-08:00

With the emergence of ASP .net a huge leap has been created in the way of application deployment and development. Microsoft introduced the .Net framework and then extended it to Internet platform with the introduction of ASP .Net. This new framework gives the feature of creation of dynamic web applications basically .aspx pages. ASP is called Active server pages and the name suggest that the page which is active at server side. In ASP .Net the business logic is separate from the presentation logic which allows the modifications easily.

ASP .net development has the feature of drag and drop which give the fast way to developers to develop the presentation easily and at very fast pace. .Net application development allows the three tiered approach to the web development. It contains the data layer, business application layer and presentation layer.

In data layer we can manage the data related things. In business layer we create the business logics and in the presentation layer we can create the designs. Using ASP .Net the presentation layer is like a click only. It gives the functionality of drag and drop which reduces the page creation time a lot. It has many predefined functions, classes and libraries using which we can do many of the tasks with ease and without writing a bulk of code.

ASP .Net application development is one of the best examples which use the Model View Control (MVC) feature. Hire .net Developers

How Indexing rate and Crawl frequency affect your website?

2010-03-05T02:35:00.000-08:00

If we want to describe crawl rate in simple words then, it is the rate by which the Crawlers (bots) encounter the URL of your website while crawling millions of other websites across the web. Obviously, two factors will surely be there, Quality and Quantity of website on which our link has been found by the Crawlers.

If Quantity of links being found by the Crawlers is more then it will help increasing the crawling rate of the website. At the other side, if our link is found more often on very Good Quality clean site which got really useful web content, then re-indexing of website is been considered. It is but natural that a Good quality site must be having a really good indexing frequency. Let’s say Wikipedia.org & Mashable.com

How to check the indexing rate of your website?

Following are some of the URLs which help you to get to know about the indexing frequency of your website at specific period of time.
Last one day:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww.pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=d
Last one week:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww. pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=w
Last one month:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww. pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=m
Last 2 months:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww. pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=m2
Last 3 months:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww. pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=m3
Last 6 months:
www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww. pasteyoursitehere.com&as_qdr=m6

It has been analyzed that the following sequence actually works in achieving good website visitors:

Case 1: Quality + Quantity Links -> Good Indexing + Good Crawling Frequency
Case 2: Quantity + Quantity Links -> Good Crawling Frequency

Case 1 further earns you a good PR over the period of time along with a stable SERP position. While, Case 2 earn you a temporary good ranking with so much fluctuation.

What .net Developers Should Know Before Developing .net Application Development

2010-02-23T02:51:00.000-08:00

.Net came into the market in year 2002 and from that time it is growing day by day and the .Net application development is also touching the sky now a days. .Net application development provides very portable interface like drag and drop control toolbox like windows which is also the reason for the growth of .Net application development. Today many new comers are coming into the .Net application development field so it is must to know the good development skills for them. Below are some of the basic and required points which any of the .Net developer should know before starting his career in the field of .Net application development:

Development using control: .Net framework provides the very user friendly controls which gives the 3D development environment. It is some sets of predefined controls which provide the great plug and feel and the drag and drop feature for the .Net developer.

Civilization, locale and Naming convention in .Net is defined by RFC 1766. .Net civilizations are generally uses the pattern xx-yy, in which xx represents language and yy represents area of the use of language.

Internationalization and Resources: .Net resources are part of the assembly but they can sometimes be invalid within assembly and then be supplied as separate files while Win32 support part of portable execution (PE) format of the file

Comparison between Java and C-SHARP - Guide for developers

2010-02-18T01:19:00.000-08:00

The article will explain the basic comparison between Java and C-SHARP. As known to the developers who are little familiar with programming language family, Java is one of the most powerful software application development platform whereas C-SHARP works normally as a part of .net framework library. .net is one of the user friendly programming languages which allow .net developers to work with development ease.

Both Java and C-Sharp belongs to object oriented programming language. Both emphasize on object rather than function. Both of them support garbage collection so that developers don’t need to free the memory occupied once the scope of program ends.

C-SHARP supports Deterministic disposal while Java doesn’t support such functionality. More over Java doesn’t support Object pinning (fixed to address throughout lifetime) whereas C-Sharp supports such functionality. Soft references are extensively supported by Java where C-SHARP doesn’t support it.

C-SHARP allows pointer functionality which allows unsafe code to be included within the coding and on the different side Java doesn’t support pointer or pointer arithmetic logic which makes it safer.

If we discuss about data types then, fixed-length strings are not there with Java but it is there in C-Sharp. Enumerations in Java are facilitating by objects, where C-Sharp provides conventional enumeration to the developers with expanded functionalities. Operator overloading is there with C-Sharp derived from C++ functionality where there is no such thing in Java.

Conditional compilation is there with C-Sharp while Java supports a uniform compilation procedure only.

Difference between Java and .net

2010-02-05T00:56:00.000-08:00

The basic difference between Java and .Net is that, Java is from Sun Company while .Net is from Microsoft Company.

Java is platform independent in the sense it can be deployed and executed on any platform such as Windows or Linux. While .Net is having a framework which integrate the byte code generated by different languages supported by .net such as VB, C#, ASP and J#.

Java is having JVM which helps Java in being identified as platform independent language while .Net is facilitate with framework which actually interpret all the language as a common compiler friendly code at runtime.

.Net supports more than 40 languages which is having the advantage over Java which actually doesn’t support these many languages.

While discussing the connectivity with Database, Java takes advantage over .net in the sense .Net requires more round trips to the database to carry out certain functionality. On the other side Java is very rich with the functional set for Database connectivity.

Java Developers guide on Developing own DBMS with Java - Custom DBMS Development

2010-02-04T22:35:00.000-08:00

Java developers develop various kind of software application according to client's need. In some cases Java Developer may need to implement something bigger and something really challenging. In such case developing own DBMS would be a great thing to implement and do research on.

Java developers use to come up with new ideas in developing applications which is flexible in use and performing. One of such idea is developing own DBMS with the help of functionality Java provide.

Based on my experience of developing own Database management system in Java I would like to share some of the functionality which I included in my application to make it called as partial DBMS.

As known to Java developers, this language has very wide scope of functionality which can either be in-built or can be customized as well. It provides the way for encryption of Data, multi-threaded environment for parallel processes, network or LAN functionality to operate program on network, GUI, File handling, Parsing and many others. These all mentioned functionality was included in the partial DBMS. Java implicitly itself provide DES algorithm which itself a well known and the most secure algorithm for encryption and decryption. Although it is quite possible to develop own encryption algorithm to encrypt data gathered from client program or entered manually. As the process was to make a system which would itself be able to handle and process the data I was needed to keep all backend system away. Means I should not use Oracle, SQL Server or even MS Access to keep and retrieve us back the data. In such case I place encryption and decryption algorithm all time in between a notepad and the GUI application.

To let the system understand what user want by writing some kind of query the system was included with parsing. Now for parsing, a Java development team must have sound knowledge of compiler design. With Java platform you can design a parsing code or compiler code with the inclusion of error handling.

Syntax and Programming Structure of PHP - PHP Tutorial for Developers by Aegis Software Part 2

2009-12-22T07:54:00.000-08:00

When the name comes the PHP, the first thing comes is the ease of coding. Now as the developers know, code is executed at server side and the result which is sent to the browse is in plain HTML format.

Considering this tutorial to guide PHP developers who are beginners, here is the first step towards start coding in PHP.

Syntax:

Within ?php and ? Developers need to add server side scripting. This version of syntax is more commonly compatible. One of the comparatively less compatible version of syntax is to write script within . This version excludes writing php from the syntax. Also this syntax is compatible where shorthand support is enabled. But it is recommended to use the first universally compatible syntax so that integrity of code is maintained across the web.

A php file not only contain solely scripting language but also includes HTML tags as well.

Each code line in php ends with semicolon, as you might have observed in C and C++. This semicolon is known as distinguisher as it differentiates sets of instructions in overall code. There are two statements are supported by php to output the text. One is echo and second is print. One thing to be considered is that the file must have .php extension and not the .html.

Comments in PHP

The commenting in PHP is very much the same as in C – C++.

In PHP, Developers use // to make a single-line comment or /* and */ to make a large comment block.

The upcoming part of this on going tutorial will include the tutorial for variables in php and the scope of this variable within the code scope.

How Web Applications works technically?

Web Application is final software products which interact with end users. Every web pages are stored at server located anywhere in the world. Whenever a user sends the request for certain page, the request is passed to certain ip address at which the web server is situated. Web server then resolve the query and provide user with requested page. At user side a partial replica of the web page is created temporary to let users view the page.

What web applications consist of?

A Web application or let say a containing website is a group of web pages which can be demanded from the web server. Web pages can either be of type static or dynamic. A static web page is that which has already been created with pre-filled contents at the server side. A dynamic page is that which is created at server side at run-time when a customize query from the user’s terminal is received. Forms, products or category pages and search pages are some of the example of Dynamic web pages. Dynamic pages mostly very much concerned with Database retrieval. Dynamic page or Static page can easily be identified by the URL structure which is gets generated after once the request gets processed by the Web server.

PHP developers and error handling for SEO purposes

2009-12-17T04:06:00.001-08:00

PHP is one of the simplest server side scripting language which needs no more promotion in the web development industry. Heavy traffic websites such as WordPress also uses this opensource programming language to manage complex database synchronization and to handle other functionality.

PHP developers are even more not bound to use specific range of functionality only, but they should also consider some of the out of box functionality which can be useful in website integrity and performance. One of the functionality is custom error handling. PHP developers must be aware of this simple phenomenon of error handling when 404 - page not found error occurred or page redirection happens. They can easily handle such error with placing some custom page when 404 occurs or redirecting broken link to the sitemap or to home page. But PHP developers should also understand the requirement of SEOs as well. As the thing is SEO is all about technicality rather than blind promotion campaign. What if a heavy traffic website get down for a while due to some causes like down time in web server. In such case PHP developer should handle 505 error and tell the bots to come to a website for crawling after certain period of time. Sometimes it may happen that if such errors are not handled properly at the time of website down time then bots may get and update a blank copy in their indexes which further causes the fall in ranking position and thus visitors.
