Emacs Tutorial: Emacs Introduction

Let's start with one of the great, Free and Open Source text editing tool which enables its user lot of flexibility and extensibility. It is "GNU EMACS".  As the GNU EMACS Manual explain about it as, the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor. For a beginner, it is very hard to understand the above mentioned quote though. We are going to discuss and we are starting the tutorial series with the hands on example to make learning process easier and faster for everyone. There are many different kinds of usages of Emacs. We are going to start with very basic "know-hows" tutorials eventually moving to advanced ones. So, let's start the wonderful journey.

BASH Script: Compare File Sizes Within Given Date Range

After the Previous Post, let's discuss another important task. Compare Files / Folders sizes from one location to another. There are many ways to do this task in LINUX. Also one can find multiple commands as well. We will discuss one specific scenario as follows.

BASH Script: Copy Files From Source To Destination Within Given Date Range By RSYNC

 After the Previous Post, let's discuss another important task. Copy Files / Folders from one location to another but efficiently. There are many ways to do this task in LINUX. Also one can find multiple commands as well. We will discuss one specific scenario as follows.

BASH Script: Date As Input

Lets start a very Basic, yet powerful Language Tutorial. The Bash Scripting. Basically it is acronym of "The Bourne Again Shell". Today, I am going to discuss some Basics by considering following scenario.

Let's assume that you need to do some task for range of dates or over a period of dates. So here there will be a Start Date & End Date. Also it would be great if you can give this range of dates to your script at the command line so no need to edit the script every time. when I said command line it means that one can give argument at the time of execution of the bash script.

Meet The New Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)

The new version of Ubuntu is out now. Its Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Long Term Support). It is also called as "Xenial Xerus"!

As lot of new LINUX learners start learning with Ubuntu. Its really awesome to have basic knowledge of LINUX & the power it gives to its users. One can explore in any direction he/she has interest into. If you are a newbie, and wondering about the versions of Ubuntu then lets talk about it first before proceeding any further.

TILED Matrix Multiplication Using Shared Memory in CUDA

Tiled Matrix Multiplication in CUDA

 Today, I am going to discuss Matrix Multiplication in CUDA. In CUDA, number of memories are present. As we have already discussed about the same in previous post "What is CUDA". Matrix Multiplication is very basic but a crucial algorithm in the field of Engineering & Computer Science. I assumed that one who is reading this post knows how to perform Matrix Multiplication in at least one programming language. (C, C++, Python, etc).

Git Basics and Commands

Today, Lets discuss about the version control of software & how a source code version control system can help you to maintain your software flawlessly. There are many version control systems are present in the market right now but as per my opinion & experience "Git" is the best solution for version control. Git is a Free & Open Source, Distributed software version control system. It can handle a wide range of software products ranging from very small to extra large projects. The efficiency & speed you get with Git is the best. Also, Git ensures freedom to share your projects under the "GNU General Public License Version 2.0".

How To install CUDA on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr

          Today, I am going to discuss about the installation of CUDA 6.5 Toolkit & Drivers on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr). From last few days a number of query regarding this problems are being asked. And Yes, Installation of CUDA Toolkit on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) release is really a tough and challenging task. There are number of problems encountered during the installation of CUDA Toolkit. The installation on Ubuntu & Fedora systems have a lot of similarities. As both operating systems are based on different packages, so one need to understand the structuring & requirements of those packages to get task successfully done. I have already shared one post regarding installation of CUDA on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr). So lets check the Ubuntu installation process today.

How To Connect to a Website and Display the Data of a Web Page Using JAVA

          JAVA provides "java.net" package which contains classes required for network programming. The networking in Java allows one person to communicate with other computers / systems. One of the core area under networking is connecting to different Websites and Servers. One may gather required data for his own study purposes. One may automate the same task to avoid the boredom process of connecting to a particular website. Though there are many possible applications of connecting with the websites I am just stating a few.

How to install OpenCV in Ubuntu 14.04

     Today, I am going to discuss installation of one of the very crucial and important software tool OpenCV {Open Computer Vision}. Installation of OpenCV on Windows is very easy as compared to Linux and that too on Ubuntu 14.04.

How to Install OpenCV in Fedora 20

     Today, I am going to discuss installation of one of the very crucial and important software tool OpenCV {Open Computer Vision}. Installation of OpenCV on Windows is very easy as compared to Linux and that too on Fedora 20.

     Lets start the discussion. First of all, do remember that Fedora 20 supports 2.4.* version of OpenCV. So it may happen that when you try to install OpenCV on your Machine you may get latest version of OpenCV.

Date-Time Server and Client program in JAVA

Server-Client Visualization

Networking is very powerful area which allows different machines to get connected. Human life became very easy through the networking concepts. Lets start the discussion of the same with understanding basics of the Networking & How to do it in JAVA.

Networking allows communication between 2 or more computers. The diagram shown here is just for example to get an idea of how networking is done. Only one Server & 8 Clients are shown in the diagram. Clients makes requests to Server & Server serves those requests.

Bouncing Ball Program in JAVA using Multithreading and Applet

Bouncing Balls

          In the last post we learned what is & how to use Multithreading in JAVA. The next ideal task to learn is how to use multithreading for Animation or how to use Multithreading in Applets. Today we will discuss program of Bouncing Balls in Java by using Multithreading and Applet.  I am going have a button to start the Balls from one point in the Applet window. We need Applet class, AWT class to perform this particular task.

Multithreading in JAVA using Runnable Interface

                       After learning How to perform Multithreading in Java, the next step is to learn the same by using Runnable Interface. As explained in earlier post (Multithreading in Java) a class needs to extend Thread Class to achieve Multithreading. But when we want to do the same by using Runnable Interface, we must understand that Runnable is a interface not a class.

Multithreading in JAVA

                     JAVA is a very powerful language which supports many features. Multi-threading & Graphics programming are only few of them. Today, I am going to discuss a very simple program to explain both these concepts. Also I will share code with you on this post as well as on my GitHub account. Lets start the discussion with Multi-threading. Multi-treading allows programmer to use computer's resources in a very efficient manner. A Multi-threaded program is one which contains 2 or more parts that can run concurrently. Each part of such program is called a Thread & it defined the separate path for execution. Now a days all modern Operating Systems supports Multitasking. Multi-tasking is basically divided into two types: Process Based &  Thread Based.
