Bits From My Life

PS: This post is written assuming you're familiar with Django and at-least have some basic experience trying to set-up a Django project (for learning or for some cool project). Purpose: To show how to properly set-up your Django1.4 project after seeing other developers getting it wrong (seen it wrongly structured by my mentee, senior developers and junior developers at my firm.). Django 1.3 Project structure: Initial structure followed by two apps added to the project. Refer above picture, where I shown a Django < 1.4 project structure. (I know, at least Django 1.2 & 1.3 follows this structure). First tree view is of the initial structure that you will get by calling $ django-admin startproject Proj Take a note that manage.py, settings.py, urls.py are in the main folder. Following  tree display is after creating two apps named app1 & app2. You'll do it as follows $ ./manage.py startapp app1 $ ./manage.py start...

One of my friend asked me today the following question,  I'm often asked about this, someway or other. Let me answer this now for all.... Q: " I want to start programming on chip.. Can you suggest a good chip and a device to program it? Also tell me any sites which can help me ." A:" Simple one is Arduino. You will get it packaged with a programmer. If you want some more powerful and commercial one, Go for Microchip's PIC family of processors. After you are familiar with those, and need even more power, try AVR from ATMEL ." Some resources from my Bookmarks is given below: http://www.voti.nl/swp/ http://www.embedds.com/ http://www.instructables.com/id/Business-Card-PIC-Programmer/step2/Parts/ http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/ElectroInfoResources http://www.piclist.com/techref/microchip/index.htm My bookmarks become so messy now a days, and I'm not getting time to organize them. So, these are the quickest ones that I pic...

I am very glad today. Because I finally wrote a python program all by myself. I am programming for about 3 years. Of which 2 are using C++ (Old standard and using Turbo C++ IDE ver 3.0 and yet to master Templates and STL. [:-p]) and After starting python using Dive into Python an excellent book by Mark Pilgrim during my 1st year summer vacation, and I only completed Data Structure section. Then I found an excellent Java tutorial by Sang Shin and obtained a certificate by completing First and basic course in Java. Now I am working with My Friend to develop applications in java. We established a web site already. He started programming when he is in 10, ie. more than 2 years of experience. He has Visual Basic too in his side. Now he is doing with JSP and I am concentrating on Python, Ruby (yet to start) and CSS. Today My pleasure is that I completed a python program myself. Which is asked to do in ' A byte of Python ' by Swaroop.C.H. Which is a command line program; and he...

There is no validity for this course. I mean currently no institution or firms consider this as a qualification. But may be in future they consider so. This course differs from ordinary course. There is no projects or assignments. All we want to do is study the material provided by them and submit the home works. We have more than five months of time for that. And in total more than twenty home works. This course covers Basic of Java or Core Java. It starts from novice (ie., loops and declaring variables too ) and advances from there. This covers swing, File handling, Little bit RMI and client/server networking, Threads, Java Beans etc. etc. ... The course is maintained and developed by Mr. Sang Shin. Also there are many to help him. We get support from class mailing list. And if we complete the course successfully, we also get a certificate like above one that get to me. There are other courses too. For example Java Performance tuning, Java EE, Java FX etc. And like th...
