How-To: Code

Coding is the process of creating instructions for a computer to perform a specific task. The language you choose to use depends on what you want to achieve, as different programming languages are suited to different types of tasks. Here is a general guide to getting started with coding: 1. Choose a Programming Language: * Popular languages for beginners include Python, JavaScript, and Ruby. * Python is often recommended for its readability and versatility. * JavaScript is essential for web development. * Choose a language based on your goals and the type of applications you want to build. 2. Set Up Your Development Environment: * Install a code editor like Visual Studio Code, Atom, or Sublime Text. * Install the necessary tools and libraries for your chosen language. 3. Learn the Basics: * Familiarize yourself with basic programming concepts such as variables, data types, control structures (if statements, loops), and functions. * Understand how to use the syntax of your chosen langua...

Programming languages are essential tools that enable humans to communicate with computers, instructing them to perform specific tasks. These languages serve as a bridge between human understanding and machine execution, allowing developers to create a wide range of software applications. In this comprehensive overview, we'll explore the history, types, and characteristics of programming languages. History of Programming Languages: The history of programming languages can be traced back to the mid-19th century, with the development of early mechanical computers. Ada Lovelace, often regarded as the world's first programmer, wrote algorithms for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine in the 1840s. However, the true evolution of programming languages gained momentum in the 20th century. 1. Machine Code and Assembly Language: The earliest "programming" involved manually toggling switches or setting wires on early computers to input binary instructions directly. As techno...

Share: A.I. Chat

Artificial Intelligence (AI) chat, often referred to as A.I. chat or chatbots, represents a revolutionary approach to human-computer interaction. It involves the use of advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques to enable computers to engage in natural language conversations with users. A.I. chat systems have become increasingly prevalent in various applications, ranging from customer support and virtual assistants to educational tools and entertainment platforms. Evolution of A.I. Chat: The roots of A.I. chat can be traced back to early attempts at creating conversational agents, such as ELIZA in the 1960s. These early systems relied on rule-based approaches and predefined scripts to simulate conversations. Over the years, advancements in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning have transformed A.I. chat into more sophisticated and context-aware systems. Key Components of A.I. Chat: * Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP is a critical component ...

Share: DDoS

Distributed denial of service (DDoS), happens when attackers send requests to a target’s IP address, causing the server or network to become overwhelmed, resulting in a denial-of-service to normal traffic. Symptoms of a DDoS attack: - a site or service is suddenly very slow or unavailable - suspicious amounts of traffic from a single IP or IP range - suspicious amounts of traffic from users who share the same profile, device, etc - odd traffic patterns, spikes at odd hours, etc Some methods to reduce or even to prevent DDoS: - monitor web traffic - restriction (for example country) - use cloud - increase bandwidth - have plans (for example security plans)

Share: Money Game

Money game schemes, also known as 'Skim Cepat Kaya', are schemes dressed up as an investment-platform. They look legitimate but in fact they are illegal. Often, they falsely promise much higher interest rates, returns or profits to attract potential victims. They have no intention to uphold their promises. They seek to lure new victims. They use the new depositors' money to repay the earlier depositors. Eventually, these money game schemes will collapse and the depositors will lose their investments and money. Members of these money game schemes will approach the victims at various locations. They normally come with luxury cars to convince the victims. During sharing, they will emphasize someone to be successful after joining the investment scheme. Remember: * Only deposit and invest with parties licensed by the authorities. * When in doubt, check with Bank Negara Malaysia, the Securities Commission or other relevant authorities about a company before making any decision.

Share: SSL

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is the standard technology to keep an internet connection secure, safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, can be server to server or a server and a client, preventing criminals from reading and modifying any information transferred. SSL uses encryption algorithms to scramble data in transit, makes sure that any data transferred between users and sites, or between two systems remain impossible to read, preventing hackers from reading it as it is sent over the connection. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is an updated, more secure, version of SSL. Not only is TLS more secure and performant, most modern web browsers no longer support SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0. While SSL is still the dominant term on the Internet, most people really mean TLS when they say SSL. HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL certificate. The details of the certificate, including the issuing aut...

Hosting is where your website content such as images, videos etc are stored. Most of the websites share a server with others, some require an entire server. cPanel is a web hosting control panel software developed by cPanel, LLC. It provides a graphical interface (GUI) and automation tools designed to simplify the administration processes of hosting a website. cPanel also has command line and API-based access that allows third-party software vendors, web hosting organisations, and developers to automate standard system administration processes. Plesk is a web hosting control panel and data center software developed for Linux and Windows-based hosting services. It is developed by Plesk International GmbH. Plesk's user management model is suitable for dedicated and shared hosting, allowing server administrators to set up new websites, reseller accounts, email accounts, as well as edit and create DNS entries through a web-based interface. A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server,...
