How to become an author

This is a real story from my life, a life that came from love at first sight iOS Development and can help you in your sphere as well.

Introduction

Recently, universities are experiencing a crisis. Since the role of universities among young people is decreasing, young people who have received General secondary education do not see the need to get a higher education, they believe that in order to master a particular specialty, it is enough to take courses online or offline and read a couple of books on the specialty. The main task of the university and higher education in General is to provide a person with extensive knowledge from various fields, so that a person develops a complete picture of the world and culture, as well as systematic and critical thinking. The main task of the university is to teach students to learn, and only then, in the last years, to give them the necessary skills for a certain field of activity. Therefore, university education should be extensive, and a narrow focus on the profession - only its completion.

Thus, the role of universities should not be underestimated, since they play an important role not only in the field of higher education itself, but also affect other important areas of life in modern society. However, this article defines the aspects and goals of the university in the innovation sector of the economy.

Tasks and challenges facing universities

The innovation process becomes more complex, and its stages overlap. In order for universities to earn money, it is necessary to link the University and the market and speed up the innovation process. To do this, at the earliest stage, it is necessary to create an environment in which ideas will be simultaneously created and selected. Thus, in the innovation and technology sector of the economy, the priority tasks of the University should include the following items: conducting research, various R&D, supplying high-tech products to the market, and initiating the creation of elements of innovative infrastructure. In this area, universities simultaneously have to cooperate and compete with the largest commercial state and non-state companies in the field of innovation. Industrial partners allow universities to raise funds through joint projects. The advantage of such cooperation is the practical focus of all innovative developments and research. The university receives the technological and production capabilities of the company, and the company, in turn, receives the results of research and innovative developments that can be implemented and used in production, which, ultimately, will lead to an increase in profits and the development of the innovative economy as a whole.

“A computer will never tell you to buy one stock and sell another… (there is) no substitute …for flair in judgement, and a sense of timing.” - Wall Street Journal 1962.[1]

After digging through archives in Cambridge while working on a project to write a revisionist history of machine learning in finance, I came across early ‘Cybernetics’ articles that have been lost to modern researchers and developers in quantitative finance and portfolio management.

As far back as 1962, GPE Clarkson, a researcher from Carnegie Tech, showed how bank investment officers’ portfolio selection decisions could be automated using discriminator nets, i.e., a sequential branching computer program[2]. I didn’t know that around the same time, a system developed by a New-York-based brokerage firm called Jesup & Lamont, not only routinised investment decisions based on decision heuristics like that of Clarkson, but also learned new patterns for future refinement.[3]

This system might well have been the world’s first self-learning financial robot. Sadly, Jesup & Lamont’s innovation was never put into production, and the 133-year-old brokerage firm filed for bankruptcy in 2010.[4]

Since the 1960s the word heuristic has been given a problem-solving connotation. Heuristic models were one of the business world’s first inroads to learn from data. A heuristic or rule can be as easy as buy-when-the-price-is-low for stock trading, first-in-first-out for accounting, or first-come-first-serve for job scheduling.

In portfolio management, heuristic programming is not unlike the 20-person team that was said to translate Ray Dalio’s unique financial worldview into algorithms,[5] or the group of coders that developed Paul Tudor’s “Paul in a Box”. [6]  The hedge fund Point72 was also purported to test models that mimic their portfolio managers’ trades.[7]

In this article, you will learn how to port a project from Interop Word APIs to an Open XML SDK. Interop developed its software for both iOS and Android and has been gaining a lot of popularity over the past few years. However, their preference is for Android so they developed their interface and SDK for this platform.

To digitalize or not to digitalize? Is that a question?

"Should I digitalize my business?" Today this question is no longer raised. Regardless of whether you have an international corporation or a flower shop near your home - of course, yes in either case! This reduces costs, increases productivity, speeds up all internal processes, and therefore increases profit.

But then the question arises: how to choose the right solution to implement your plans?

Developers and resellers of IT software will be happy to describe to you all the benefits of their product or service. But it is unlikely that they will tell you about the dangers that you will most likely encounter, no matter what solution you choose.

With the introduction of Android 10, the Dark mode option in Android phones is becoming more popular. The latest Android versions running on mobile devices are readily supporting the dark mode feature. Dark mode themes not only provide a distinct visual impact but also aids human vision and device energy. It is proven that Dark themes on mobile UI reduce eye strain on low-lighting conditions. These types of themes also offer brightness scope reduction which conserves the battery of the device.

This proves that dark mode in mobile applications is not just for show but also useful for the visual health aspect of the user.

In this post, we are going to learn how to implement dark mode in an Android app built by using Flutter/dart programming.

If you want a cloud-based file synchronisation and sharing platform you are really spoiled for choice; but one downside that Google, Microsoft, Dropbox and pals all share is that they’re all controlled by somebody else.

If you want full control over your own data and don’t mind running your own infrastructure to do it then two of the biggest players you’ll come across are ownCloud and Nextcloud. What are the differences between these platforms, and which is best for you? Stay tuned, and let’s find out!

I guess the first question to ask is: why, when many companies are moving to the public cloud, would you want the complexity of running your own private file sharing platform? Honestly, this isn’t for everyone. Particularly when the likes of Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace come with working solutions straight out of the box; but there are reasons why doing it yourself can make sense.

The first is cost. Unsurprisingly it’s often cheaper to do it yourself than pay someone to do it for you — assuming you have the capability to do so. This is a particularly big reason why hobbyists and home users do it — they don’t have enterprise budgets to play with. It’s the main reason I started using these solutions, myself.

I used to use Windows Live Mesh to keep my files in sync between different devices at home. That’s been dead a while now so if you’ve never used it, it was a free peer-to-peer file synchronisation tool that sync’d between devices locally or over the internet. When Microsoft came out with OneDrive (then called SkyDrive) they discontinued Live Mesh and announced SkyDrive as a new tool to sync your files. Which meant it always went over the internet and now you had to pay for the cloud storage even if you didn’t want the data to be stored online in OneDrive.

What exactly is Two Factor Authentication? Two Factor Authentication, also referred to as 2FA, is used to increase data security. When logging into personal information you will be required to provide something you know, like a password, against something you have, such as a laptop or mobile device. The use of Two Factor Authentication helps provide an organisation with an extra layer of security, making it impossible to grant access based on a single, knowledge-based factor.

In the IT industry across the world, cloud computing has emerged as a revolution. It has turned out to be a staple for every kind of business, transforming the way businesses operate and consider IT resources. Certainly, it's quite overwhelming to see the extensive range of benefits cloud computing offers to an organization in this digital era. And the foremost reasons behind its immense popularity are cost-effectiveness and simplicity.

Mobile apps: By the end of 2020, the world had around 3.5 billion smartphone users. It is said that a smartphone user uses 10 apps per day on average. The youth, who are considered the wealth of a nation, spend 2/3rd of their digital time on smartphones. Aren’t these impressive? Just imagine the demand for mobile apps!

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that mobile apps rule the world today. Applications are used for every task- for communication, entertainment (music, games, etc.), shopping, hospitality (food delivery, book tickets), knowledge expansion (reading, question answers, etc), and much more. 

In this article, we are going to build a simple calculator which enables a user to do basic calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Readers are expected to have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of Javascript and jQuery as we will be using them a lot in this project. This project will help you to combine everything you have learned so far. We will be making an on-screen calculator using HTML, CSS, and jQuery right from the scratch. We will walk you through the various steps you can take, but again, how you implement them is really up to you.

The shared economy is a very popular economic concept in recent years. In this concept, the idle resources are the first and most critical element. The shared economy is developing rapidly in China. Projects emerged recently, including the shared powerbank, the shared umbrella, the shared bike and the sharing cars etc.

Now I’m working at an embedded hardware company, I have been exposing to powerbank station related projects. In this article I’ll talk about  the shared powerbank structure and its usage direction.

How to use

1. Find power bank stations in public areas like restaurants, shopping malls, train stations;

2. Scan the QR code, follow the payment or deposit instruction, a powerbank would pop out and ready to use.

3. After using, find an empty dock on station location map on the phone and return it.

You may find it surprising, but more than 50% of web surfers judge a website's credibility based on its design, as per Software Development Stats. Indeed, design plays a crucial role in diverse aspects of product development, and the digital world is no exception. 

Their immediate benefits of advanced designs are readily visible in diverse development projects and even more significantly in eCommerce platforms. It is mainly because an eCommerce platform is a store in the digital world. The more well organized the store is, the easier it gets for clients to view and buy desired projects.

Right from the creation of logos to the effective integration of product pages, multiple factors play a crucial role in enhancing the conversion rates of eCommerce platforms. Read this blog to find the top tips for successful retail and eCommerce development projects.

At some early point of my software developer career I learned about SOLID principles. At first glance S, O, L, I seemed obvious, easy to understand and follow (only at first glance) but D (Dependency Inversion Principle) wasn't as obvious to me. It took more years that I'm proud to admit to understand what D really means (at least I think now that I understand). So I want to share my understanding of DIP principle.

Since its inception in 2011, Laravel as a web development framework has gained tremendous attention. Equipped with tons of features, the framework facilitates the creation of web apps with ease. From enterprise applications to APIs and web services, Laravel is one framework that supports all. 

Despite the above, there have been instances when developers questioned the credibility of the platform. Primarily because the framework experiences significant performance issues. In case you are among the developers or the leaders who are worried about the performance of Laravel applications, this article will interest you the most. 

Considering the fact that there always lies room for optimization, we outline some of the best tips to fine-tune your web application and enhance its performance as a whole. Before that, you must first be clear on why should you optimize the website or why does the performance of a website matters. 

Choosing 'The Right' is always difficult. 'The Right' needs to be identified. It needs to be discussed, well thought off, and research for past experiences.

You decided the Business Name, Your Location, Selling Tactics, and still, the Website for the same is left. The right web development company can certainly come to the rescue and bring you relief and long-lasting ramifications.

The power of the Right cannot be understated. Choosing the team that can help you nurture your business online and bring on revenues is important. Here follows the list of the most important factors while hiring a web development company.

Chatting is the most common adopted activity by the people as everyone is inclined towards messaging and texting to their friends, family, and even in their business life. Research displayed that more the 90% of smartphone users prefer texting & chatting and they text on their regular basis. Now, this is the nature of common people, but if we talk about the businesses, there has been seen a lot inclination towards adopting this trend. Businesses identified that due to the busy schedule of the users, they have to be impatient and always rely upon getting real time answers. Businesses are relying on getting interacted with the users and believe in the feedback that users share over chats.

Always ensure that you are careful of opening strange attachments sent to you via e-mail, especially if the file extension is either unknown to you, or otherwise if it is sent to you in a compressed format, (Example Win-zip Files) and that you take extra care in protecting yourself as much as possible by minimizing any risk where possible. When I browse the Internet, I myself use and recommend Opera. Opera comes with an built in Adware Blocker, Malware Blocker, Cryptocurrency mining Protection and unrelated even its own battery saver allowing you to have an extra layer of protection and browse the Internet faster while being less likely to accidentally infect your PC or Laptop. This would limit any possibility of accidentally clicking on a rouge malicious link which could ultimately pose risk to your device by infecting your laptop or desktop with malware or even if you are unlucky ransomware instead. It furthermore protects your privacy further by also blocking all the trackers and thus is the Safer Choice for a Web Browser.

Making a game in HTML & CSS is the favorite thing for developers. By using these two languages developers can make any game.

In this tutorial, I'm going to teach you how you can make a mouse click test game using HTML and javascript. It is going to be a very simple tutorial.

If you are a beginner to HTML and CSS still you can learn from this tutorial. I'm going to make this tutorial very simple so everyone could get knowledge.

What does this game do?

The main function of this game is to calculate the clicks. Most gamers use this simple game to test and improve their mouse-clicking speed.

As you know in some games you have to hit your mouse hard to compete with your competitor. So gamers try this test to get better at clicking.

Here is how the game will look after completion. It has a simple interface so anyone can play it easily.
