While AGI may still be a few decades in the horizon, researchers have long been trying to mimic the human brain. Just like its namesake, the neural network works in the same way a neuron in the human body does. It receives stimuli, proc…
TensorFlow Lite: Enhancing Mobile and Embedded Machine Learning TensorFlow Lite stands at the forefront of deploying machine learning models on mobile and embedded devices, embodying Google's cutting-edge adaptation of its broader Tenso…
Backing up a MySQL database running on production is crucial to ensure data integrity and availability. In the event of hardware failures, software bugs, human errors, or malicious attacks, a backup provides a reliable way to restore lo…
Over the weekend I was bored and tried hosting node applications on IIS on a server. Since currently I have only tried wordpress I had no idea how to go about this which might be why you are here, so lets dive straight into how to get i…
Recently, I was tasked with building a Chrome extension that scrapes LinkedIn profiles to gather important information such as name, bio, location, follower count, and connection count from a list of predetermined URLs. Once collected,…
A while back, Prakriti and I participated in Women Techies, a hackathon at our university organized by the Google Developer Student Clubs at VIT Vellore. Our goal was simple: reach the final pitches and present on stage. Our journey beg…
In one of my previous articles, I elaborated on using OpenCV with python to switch on a user’s webcam, and to display the live feed. As a fun-ish Python project, I also created a GUI to pick out a spot in the feed and display its colour…
What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes also abbreviated as k8s is an orchestration tool allowing you to run and manage your container-based workloads. If you do not know what are containers, please check out this article first before carrying o…
The serial port is like a digital messenger that electronic devices use to share information. If you have ever workeded with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, you may know that we create a serial connection, and begin sending information over…
What is Bootstrap? All of us in the CS and IT domain are very much familiar with the term "Web development". It basically means to develop a webpage or a website. Web development on a bigger scale contains two main parts i.e. Front End…

Following up on the previous article where we discussed what RESTful APIs are and how to create one in python using Django, in this article we will go over how to create a connection with a MySQL database and then perform crud operation…
What is Dynamic Connectivity? In computing and graph, a dynamic connectivity structure is a data structure that dynamically maintains information about the connected components of graph. Dynamic Connectivity Problem Given a set of N obj…
OpenCV is a pretty handy tool while working with image processing and computer vision. It’s a large open-source library which can be accessed in a variety of programming languages, including Python. It has also been used for video analy…
Familiarizing oneself with Design and Analysis of Algorithms this semester, one of the problems my professor keeps talking about is the KnapSack Problem. In the presented problem we have N items where each item has some profit and weigh…
The concept of APIs is pretty fascinating when starting to code, because it allows us to integrate stuff into our projects which we would not want to develop ourselves. An API in short is just an interface for software applications to c…
BASH stands for Bourne Again Shell. It is based on bourne shell and is mostly compatible with it features. Shells act as an intermediary between users and their operating systems, interpreting commands. Shells allow batch command execut…
In this article, we will guide you through the crucial initial steps of setting up your development environment specifically tailored for Node.js, Express.js, and MySQL. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a well-configured environ…
Sorting algorithms are precision-driven. Among all the effective and efficient sorting algorithms exists a highly inefficient and unconventional sorting algorithm - Bogo Sort. Instead of relying on strategic computation it relies on a g…
In computing, SQL injection is a code injection technique used to attack data-driven applications, in which malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution. This is the wikipedia definition. Let us try to further…
Concurrency and Parallelism are both concepts which are used in multithreading. Concurrency refers to the sequential completion of small pieces of multiple tasks such that over a period of time both of them are completed. This means tha…
In the previous article we saw how we can implement basic multithreading in java. However to design efficient and reliable systems using multithreading we need to understand concepts pertaining to the topic of concurrency to actually bu…
Synchronization allows for only one thread to access a piece of code or an object at any given moment. This prevents simultaneous requests to access the data by multiple threads. It is a mechanism put in place to control access to te re…
Multithreading is a way for us to execute the same process across multiple threads. A thread can be understood as a small unit which executes a program/process. A process can be executed by multiple threads at the same time simultaneous…
The most basic approach to this problem would be to iterate over the entire linked list once to find out the length of the list. Then iterate over it again to locate the node to be removed. This can be done in the following way: Let n b…
If we had to reverse the elements of an array we would have to iterate over then entire array and swap the ith element with the (n-i-1)th element where n is the size of the array. Now in a linked list we are not required to swap the dat…
Linked lists are linear data structures, which consist of nodes. These nodes store data in them as well as point to the next node in the list. So each node in the list has 2 attributes, one of the datatype you are trying to store which…
In my third semester at university, I had taken the 'Computer Programming in Java', while learning all the core concepts of java I thought it would be fun to try and make a game in the process. I tried making the snake game! The logic o…
