The power and functionality of SQL database programming are immense! But this can only be seen in the relational JOIN operations which connect a set of tables with a purpose. JOIN statements enable us to find conditional relationships within tables or datasets. We can then do calculations, sort, and even create new tables based on relationships established among key fields! Moreover, many tutorials simply illustrate the syntax of SQL statements without deeply exploring how they [...]

The ByteScout team has recently released a bunch of new versions for our most competitive SDKs and free tools! Free Online Apps Update We implemented new tools for helping developers to learn SQL. Among them you can already test: SQL trainer is an effective method to increase your SQL knowledge by using live data exercises for popular SQL queries.   Question to SQL is another great tool that generates SQL queries from the questions you put [...]

Ordinary repository and versioning platforms like GIT and Subversion need security enhancement. This is because the current developer culture and typical coding practices lead to source code security vulnerabilities. In this ByteScout developer feature, we will explore repo and versioning platform enhancements which enforce security measures to prevent the attack. We will look at both software repositories and version control platforms because they work together functionally in continuous integration pipelines. Developer methods of building CI [...]

Predictive analytics continually expands on new frontiers with machine learning methods. Forecasting on real-time data sets and monitoring streaming data from IoT devices are among the most exciting applications today. ML algorithms process real-time data streams from devices and apps. And this animates apps with a “live” interactive and intelligent feel. A great variety of analytics platforms now offers every imaginable feature for developers. And We will explore the best of them in depth in [...]

MongoDB and PostgreSQL present us with two rich but different paradigms for database management. In this Bytescout developer intro, we will compare the features of these two paradigms in depth. To facilitate the best design decision for your project, we will reveal the nuances and distinctions of both Mongo and Postgre. Which DB is best for your enterprise? Relational databases, with SQL queries being the most widely used, constantly evolve with exciting new features. PostgreSQL [...]

UIs in Windows allows doing a lot of tasks. However, UIs are human-friendly but not really computer-friendly: you can’t launch automatically a task that does “Windows (previously the start menu) > Shutdown button > Restart”. Windows command prompt commands and, in fact, commands, in general, are a mix between a programming language and actions you can do in the user interface. The purpose is to type a sequence of words that explains computer what you [...]

Introduction Recent advances in automatic programming suggest that we stay vigilant to their potential impact in software development. Automatic programming is a branch of AI, and the point is to create a system which can design and implement computer applications automatically. Today, the most practical application of automatic programming appears in low code platforms. We will explore the current state of the art in automatic program synthesis, with an eye on the future. And we [...]

The point of progressive web apps is to make optimal use of the ever-evolving capabilities of browsers. One such advanced browser capability is to store data in a browser for offline app functionality. Browsers now use several NoSQL and NewSQL technologies for this purpose. Apache Ignite, and Google Spanner DB are popular NewSQL DBs. MySQL Cluster is an optimized and highly scalable new SQL interface. Offline DB management is the focus of our ultimate tutorial [...]

Cyber forensics, also called computer forensic science, offers many fascinating branches to pursue. In this tutorial, we will focus on the particular branch of cyber security analysis with code examples using Python as our language of choice. In the course of our Python socket programming tutorial we will build an actual packet analyzer, sometimes called a network packet sniffer. We will talk specifically about SQL injection techniques and how to detect and thwart them. This [...]

Apple still does not allow other software developers to implement and publish custom watch faces for Apple Watch (though you can purchase Apple Watch Hermès ($1,299 USD) with a new cool watch face). Meanwhile, other wearable devices such as Samsung Galaxy Watch (that that runs on Tizen OS) already offer a wide selection of custom watch faces. We collected top 12 custom watch face for Galaxy Watch here. Enjoy! 12 best watch faces for Samsung [...]
