When and Where to Start Programming!

When to Start Programming?

You already are programming, i mean everyday your brain do programming to calculate the solutions for your daily life problems. 

for example: you are hungry ... your brain will calculate the possible solutions like

• You can cook (If you don't have money)
• You can eat at a restaurant (If you don't know how to cook)
• Or ... You can Steal (If both of the above conditions are not suitable for you)

Yes, that's programming finding different solutions for a problem and go with the best one. and of course in Computer Programming you need to know the programming languages like C++, Visual Basic or Java etc to communicate with the Computer, as in real life you need knowledge and some skills to perform your daily task. If you can gain the required programming skills then your age doesn't count to start programming.

Where to Start Programming?

GW BASIC - is the best console programming language for beginners, it will give you basic concepts required in most programming languages out there.It's easiest to understand and best first step towards programming. You should spend 1 month (30 to 60 min each day practice) practicing GW BASIC.

VB.Net - It would not be as easy considering you only know GW Basic till now but it will probably change your perspective about programming. At the beginning you should be able to develop some accounting programs but as time goes on with good logical skills you can develop more effective applications like chat messenger, utility applications, and databases with Ms SQL or MS Access ...

After these two, you probably will able to choose next best and suitable programming language for you and your career. And of course don't forget C and JAVA.

How to Learn Hacking

I'm talking about "Ethical Computer Hacking" here not about some illegal stuff, to be a hacker you really need to define your goals because hackers don't just break securities, hack top secret military data or do any other cool stuff like in the movies but usually they find solutions with the help of their programming skills and intelligence.

Hacker's main role is to find vulnerable loop holes, in other words, programming mistakes which leaves private data insecure. You can learn hacking from the following websites but you need patience, intelligence and luck...

• Hack In The Box
• Hack This Site!
• Hack a Day

Good Luck!

Keep you Computer Safe - from Viruses - without an Antivirus

I have Windows XP SP 3 and my operating system is virus free, it has been a year since I last installed a window. when it comes to security, MS windows does not provides you a better security then Linux and that's why Linux is more secure and that's why you purchase an Antivirus program to keep your computer safe.

In this world viruses spread in a light speed, and you always needed to update your antivirus so that it can protect your computer from any latest virus but the problem with having a antivirus is that, it gives you headache, slow your pc little bit, annoys you when you are working and requires updates in a week or two.

Things To Do:

• Don't use pirated software because mostly they contain viruses, and it's illegal too.

• Download software from publisher or developer you trust because a .exe or .bat could be a virus from unknown publishers.

• Don't download attachments from unknown email and report that email, because people fall for spam.

• Don't trust your facebook friends  (Any social media unknown or so called friends) and don't open what they send you unless you are fully sure that they can be trusted.

• Do not run any picture, video file or any other media file which extension is ".exe" it could be like mypicture.jpg.exe ... in this the real extension is .exe, to enable extensions to be visible in your computer GOTO My Computer => Tools => Folder Options => View => Uncheck "Hide extensions for unknown file type"

• Check file size before download, for example if you are downloading MS office 2010 which is of "12kb" of course it's a virus because this software is of "600MB +"

• Download software from developer's official website, because you cannot take risk on any third party source.

• Download USB Virus Scan to secure any virus possibility from USB Drives.

Transparent Display - Laptops, TVs or in Mobile Devices!

The future we have seen in the movies is coming, as you can feel the technology around. One of the fastest evolving technology is of display screens :-

• From CRT to LCD
• From LCD to Plasma
• From Plasma to LED
• From LED to OLED
• From OLED to AMOLED
• From AMOLED to  AMOLED  (Transparent: In Progress)

Transparent Display Screens are coming, some companies including Samsung are working on it, but it has being couple of years but there is no authentic news of their success but as we know it's not that easy to make a screen completely transparent, even if you tell that to your grandfather, he will probably think that you are crazy, that's how crazy will be Transparent Screens.

• Samsung is using these AMOLED screens in his high budget smartphones like Samsung Galaxy S2, S3 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
• Nokia used it in Nokia Lumia 800, 900 and Nokia X7
• HTC used it in HTC Legend and HTC One S.

None of these smartphones are smart enough for Transparent AMOLED Screens But their Display screens are incredibly thin. We can expect transparent screens in coming future. For now, Have a Good Day!

How To Prevent Hacking with a Strong Password? "boy" is more secure password then "Girl"?

What is a strong password?

Simply, a password that cannot be cracked or requires years to crack.

How to?

• Don't use any common names like  "john", "canada", "football" in your password.
• Don't use any common words like "small", "option", "father" in your password.
• Of course, two points above exactly means that don't even use any word or name that is related to you like your pet's name, your aunt's nickname or your nickname.
• Always use symbols in your password like "happ3n 9ing" (I included " " (a space) between n and 9)
• You can check how secure is your password from here

Amazing:

"Girl" is more common password then "boy" and "you are sick" is more secure then "76y587yh" because it has 2 spaces (symbols).You can use other symbols too like <,*&*&(*$%& etc..
