If I were a Wizard…

Have you ever wondered what would you do if you activate the magic powers or if the genie grants you the three wishes? Of-course, you have. Each one of us did, maybe while watching a science fiction like Inception or dreaming about receiving a letter from Hogwarts or from the artwork of Sanju’s pencil in the ‘Shaka Laka Boom Boom’ show. (just trying to cover all sorts of audience)

Well, the following article isn’t about achieving any of the above mentioned things(yeah I know you know that) but I’ll talk about the thrust experience, a feeling which is nothing less than the magic powers. You’ll have to wait a little longer for the secret to reveal and I hope it won’t disappoint you (especially the geeks out there) because the feelings are very real and maybe mutual to many of you.

Let’s begin the journey:
So, what got me started?? The answer is: Curiosity. Curiosity, to understand how is everything happening around us? How have we come so far in just a span of few years, in just a click of button. How is this magic changing the world and can i be a part of it? Can I learn about it and if yes, Can I also make a contribution? Well, it turned out all of us can experience it, contribute to it and to a greater surprise, we have already been doing it all this time . Isn’t that amazing?
I am the kind of person who feels a gush to find an answer when somebody throws a puzzle at me. So, when you want to create this enjoyable magical environment for someone,the first things first that you need to do is just solve a few puzzles, feel the excitement, do some debugging, resolve the errors and there it is- the solution and voila!! You finally have peace. Oh! did i just say it? Well, that was intended. Yes I am talking about programming and this is what drives me everyday. When there is this problem with numbers, structures requiring a well set new algorithm to be solved, it can surely make you go crazy. Yeah okay! I apologize, that’s maybe not the kind of magic you were hoping for but trust me, when you go forward in programming building applications, websites, games, design, networks, processing, artwork and what not, it is much much better than that. Every single touch of yours around you today is Magiccc. Yes, it is. If you disagree, do you have another word for it? Nobody really thought of the speed that we are on, a few decades back and nobody can fathom where we would reach a few decades down the line. So, why not become a part of it because still the greatest programmers say that “we have only touched the surface of what we can do with computers”.
Lastly something to the budding coders out there is ‘ to practice’. Yes i agree that’s nothing great but mind that i didn’t say ‘practice a lot’. Why? Because “practicing right” is more important than practicing a lot. Its always good to learn how to solve hundreds and thousands of problems but what is more important is to learn to solve them by “yourself”.(Basically, NEVER EVER see the solution) Because when you solve something end to end, that is when you will enjoy the magic I was talking about all this time :) 

If you've any queries or feedback, feel free to post them in the comments section. Happy Coding :)

Web Sockets: Revolution in Real-Time Communication

Sending a message and getting an instant response without even refreshing the page is something we take for granted. But in the past, enabling real-time functionality was a real challenge for developers. Finally, the developers' community found a solution for building truly real-time apps: Web sockets. Before they came along, the “real-time” web existed, but it was difficult to achieve, typically slower, and was delivered by hacking existing web technologies that were not designed for real-time applications. So,  this article is all about building a deeper understanding of how WebSockets operate and what’s actually going on under the hood of applications using WebSockets. HOW WEB SOCKETS WORK? WebSockets provide a persistent connection between a client and server that both parties can use to start sending data at any time. (A quick review: the client is the application on a user’s computer, and the server is the remote computer that hosts the website and linked data). The client-se...

How To Create Virtual Environments For Your Python Projects

Have you ever heard of virtual environments? If you are a beginner, then you might not have heard of them, but if you are an experienced Python developer, then they must be a part and parcel of your life. Creating a separate virtual environment for each of your Python projects is a good practice for it prevents various dependency and compatibility issues and keeps your main system clean. The main purpose of Python virtual environments is to create an isolated environment for each of your projects. For example, if you want to use an older version of a library or module in one project and the recent version in another, then you can conveniently create separate virtual environments for each of these projects.  In this blog post, I'll cover how you can easily create and use a virtual environment using virtualenv in 9 easy to follow steps . 1. Install virtualenv In order to install it just type the following command in the shell.  pip install virtualenv 2. Test y...
