High Paying Programming Languages

As the technology continues to grow in software industry so there is always big demand for programming languages and programmers.

Since the early 2000, the dot-com bubble, we have seen really lots of improvements in the software industry with innovation at its best level. For this huge change in the software or IT industry there has been always big role played by these programming languages and our expert programmers.

As per survey there are more than 200 programming languages in the software field to develop software or web application and one need to have these programming coding skills to develop applications.

As per current scenario, some of the programming languages have highly demand in the IT field with high paying salaries to our expert programmer.

So it is important to learn coding of few programming languages which earns more money and of course high in demand.

Following are the high paying programming languages based on present IT (2016) scenario:

Java: it become most preferred programming language for most of the software companies due to its punch line called “write once, run anywhere” with platform independent feature to use this language on almost any device. Senior level java developer can expect salaries as high as US$ 1,00,000 + per annum! [Whooping!]

Python: Python is a very versatile programming language used by most of the top tech giants like Google, IBM etc. And senior developer of python language can expect salary US$ 90,000 + per annum.

Objective C: This is primary language used by Apple to develop its OS X and iOS platform and it’s various API’s.

Python can fetch salary close to 6 figures!

Swift: It is a relatively new language and its companion to objective C so Apple inc uses this too.

Swift can fetch salary range from US$ 80,000 to US$ 1, 00,000 per annum.

So master any of the above programming language of your choice and make your career in the field of software but remember, dedication and hard work is important to attain high success in this field!.

Big Data

All about big data and data analytic

Big data is a term used to describe massive amount of data in both structured and unstructured form that includes day-to-day basis of all business transitions. The amount data that’s being stored on global level is very huge volume and difficult to process, isolate and implement in real-time basis but possible using some latest data tools.

Despite of these problems, big data has potential to help organizations to improve their operations and faster and more intelligent business decisions.

This big data concept is first articulated by Doug Laney, an industry analyst in the early 2000 and this comprises:

Volume
Velocity
Variety
Variability
Complexity

Let’s look into brief of these:
Volume: Organization collects and stores huge volume of data from various sources – business transitions, social media etc. But storing this huge volume of data become big task for most of the organizations and new technology such as Hadoop have solved this.

Velocity: Data collects in an unprecedented speed and it must be dealt with timely. Maintaining real-time basis.

Variety: Collated data could be number, strings, and images, audio or other format in structured or unstructured.

Variability: increasing velocity of data flow and it is highly inconsistent with time.

Complexity: It is difficult to match or transform to other system.

Who uses big data?
Most of the Multinational Organizations / Banking / Educational institutions / Government / Health care / Retail / Manufacturing industries manage the big data for their day-to-day business transactions.

When massive datasets are dealt, organizations face difficulties in creating, manipulating and managing big data.
This is particularly problem in business analytics because standard tools and procedures are not designed to analyze massive datasets.

How this big data can be stored?

Maintain huge data storage units.
Use faster processors
Use open source platform such as Hadoop
Parallel processing, cluster based, virtualizations, grid system etc.
Use of cloud computing.

Skills required for managing big data:

Apache Hadoop
Cloudera
MongoDB
Talend
SQL
Statistical and Quantitative Analysis
Programming languages such as Java, Python etc.

Opportunities:
Requirement of over 4.4 million Data scientist or Big Data Engineer by 2016 worldwide.

Pay scale:
An average data analyst salary in US: $38,999 - $80,000

Create android app without coding

Creating an android app without any coding knowledge – Hybrid app

In android there are two types of application can be created:

1. Native : It requires lot of programming skills (specially Java and Android studio etc)

2. Hybrid: It requires less programming or almost no programming technique is required.

Comparison between Native and Hybrid App

Native	Hybrid
Programming skill is required	Less programming skill is required
Requires lot of time for developing an app	Requires less time for developing an app
Difficult to update app	Easy to update app
Device’s Hardware features can be accessed	Device’s Hardware features can be accessed but not all
Great UI	Slightly Good UI
It takes time to get approval from market soon after updated app is uploaded on play store.	No approval is required for updating app.
For Native App Development pure Java is required.	For Hybrid App Development HTML5/CSS (web technologies) is required.

Today, I’m going to explain how to create an android app using hybrid method on online.

Follow the below steps to create your first android app.

1. Login to androidcreator [here you can create completely FREE android apps]

2. Create user account / signup there

3.And enter basic information as following.

4. Check “I accept terms of service” and Click on “Send”, after this you can able to see following screen. [Enter App Name, App icon, select language and enter description of the app then click on “Next”]
