What is Python programming language?

Python is one of the most popular and fastest-growing programming language. Inherently, it is interpreted, high-level, general-purpose, and object-oriented scripting language, which means the following:

•Interpreted

An interpreter processes the source file at runtime, it reads the lines of code, one by one and performs what is said. Similarly to Perl and PHP, Python does not require that you compile your program before executing it. So, you do not have to invoke a compiler. Instead of running the compiler that helps turn source files into compiled class files, you simply run a .py file. Python byte code compilation is automatic and entirely implicit.

•High-level

Python relies on easy-to-read structures that are later translated into a low-level language, the original code that is run on a computer’s central processing unit (CPU). A high-level language is intended to be used by a programmer and the written code is further interpreted into a low-level language. Like C++ or Java, before running, Python has to be processed. This enables Python’s portability — it can run on different kinds of computers with nearly no modifications.

•General-purpose

Python can be used for nearly everything. It is applicable to almost every field for a variety of tasks. Be it the execution of such short-term tasks as software testing or long-term product development that involves roadmap planning, Python works well for them all, it is applicable all over the map. Its roles are unlimited. It is popular not only among software engineers, but also among specialists in other fields: mathematics, data analysis, science, accounting, and network engineering. Likewise, Python cliques with young people because it’s a very beginner-friendly scripting language.

•Object-oriented

This programming paradigm gives an overall orientation towards scripting and powerful code structuring. This object-oriented approach allows thinking of problems in terms of classes and objects. Then, objects are composed in such a way to make up complex computer programs. Beside the object-oriented programming, Python also supports a procedural paradigm. With OOP being only one of the options, you can make Python programming more advanced by going for an object-oriented programming approach. Developers can create reusable patterns of code thus curtailing redundancy in development projects.

Why is SQL important? What problem is it solving?

Database administration or data management is incomplete without the SQL. For comfortable use of  SQL as part of your administration or development requires that you understand the basics of SQL, which will take you a long way in your career.

Before we start with the introduction to the SQL itself, and then, understand the important features of SQL Server. It will take you through a demonstration of the internal workings of SQL, starting from SQL standards, evolution, and progresses to creating tables, understanding and defining relationships, writing Transact‑SQL commands, and so on.

You will also understand that SQL is a special-purpose programming language; special-purpose, as in, it is different from the general-purpose programming languages such as C, C++, Java/JavaScript, etc., meaning, it has a very particular purpose: manipulation of datasets. And this manipulation happens using what is known as Relational Calculus.

But isn’t studying SQL alone, restrictive? Turns out, it isn’t. Of course, we can use SQL on any kind of database or data source, but even if we cannot directly use SQL, most query languages of today have some relationship to SQL. In general, once you know SQL, you can effortlessly pick up other query languages too.

Standards are vital because every relational database must build its framework around this framework in order to ensure compatibility. This means that the learning curve is greatly reduced. SQL is ANSI as well as ISO-compliant, along with other standards, which emphasizes the fact that you have to learn the concept only once.

The Ways to Improve Your English Vocabulary

It is often easy for people to speak broken English. Broken English is nothing but the mixture of our mother tongue and English. It would sound good and safe when we communicate with our friends or family. You would also think that “Wow I really speak good English , even if I combine it with my mother tongue”. But , what if the same broken English haunts you in a job interview or if you speak in a big crowd. Its a major thing to consider right.

So, let’s just improve our communication skills by practicing good English.

The ways specified here are easy and different , hopefully it helps people to improve their vocabulary.

Method 1: Read a story at night.

Instead of , scrolling through the phone for hours at night. Read books in any genre, be it bed time stories , fiction novel , horror stories; You just have to spent time reading a story at night. This helps you to learn new sentences and new words which you could use it in your day-to-day life.

Method 2: Convert your regional language phrases to English

Collect all the words that you most actively use in your mother tongue, convert them into English. Now you are just replacing your phrases into English, this helps you to use more English. This would also break the habit of using broken English.

Method 3: Speak to yourself in the mirror.

Stand in front of the mirror, pick any topic and start talking  about that topic. You will observe where are you really getting stuck and would improve further by repeating this exercise. For more effect, just record a video of you speaking English and pin point the mistakes you make.

Life skills: A necessary lesson!

In a world where humanity is slowly degrading, certain life skills need to be imbibed and nurtured into us humans. As life these days are full of twists and turns and numerous hurdles one needs to take smart decisions in the right direction. Life skills can teach one to deal with stressful situations and can abstain one’s self from making hasty decisions.

Life skills will help us deal with the challenges of our ubiquitous life, it will aid us in decision making and will also help us in controlling our mind in inflexible times. One can discipline themselves with the implementation of certain life skills in everyday life. Being a good human and inculcating virtuous values is a long process but not a tough task.

According to UNICEF life skills should be inculcated amongst children from a young age be it empathy, problem solving or even critical thinking, this would help the children in taking the right decisions and thinking in the right way when they glow older especially in work places. Certain life skills will refrain oneself from taking illogical settlements. Life skills can be anything from a simple decision of wearing a helmet on your two wheeler to a decision refraining yourself from using the computer for long hours.

These days the word humanity is heard very frequently be it social media, news articles or just a usual family conversation but when it comes to practising humanity we are definitely greatly lagging behind and we can see that from unbelievable cases happening in and around the world which have shook us all and touched our hearts, questioning our sensibility as human beings.

Just like IQ that is Intelligence quotient, EQ is also important is also equally important and stands for emotional quotient (emotional intelligence), especially in a world where we are more prone to mental illnesses like depression and anxiety disorders. EQ is a great way to measure your emotional intelligence, be it decision making, critical thinking, communication and interpersonal skills or even self-awareness, to improve one’s EQ one has to improve and work on their life skills. The value which emotional intelligence hold is equally as important as the value given to IQ.

Certain life skills are crucial to holistic development and are essential, they are-

  • Decision Making and Problem Solving.
  • Interpersonal skills and Communication
  • Self Awareness and Empathy
  • Critical thinking and Creative thinking
  • Equanimity(self-control) and Assertiveness

These life skills when inculcated in our daily life can help us overcome so many obstacles. They inculcate certain values in us such as goal setting, courage, leadership, persistence, flexibility, confidence and sportsmanship.

Many schools have life skills as a compulsory subject to be taught to the students in their curriculum through interesting and engaging activities. Be it sports or fun activities, which would help them in their journey in the future. I feel it should be included in all school curriculums and should be taught  in middle school(childhood) as it is needed for the adoption of certain vital skills such as decision making, cooperation and empathy.

To induce positive development and good ethics within one’s self, self-work on life skills is needed, especially in a time where life is becoming tedious and can take unexpected turns one needs to look into one’s self care.
