10 Reasons why you should learn 'C'

1) C is lower level then other programming languages (C++, Java). Programming at a lower level allows you to further your understanding of computers, as a whole.


2) Device drivers and operating systems are written exclusively in C. Now, you may never write a device driver or an operating system, but what if you are ever required to modify one? (……)
3) What if you ever want to get a job programming micro controllers? They are programmed in C. Are you going to limit your possible list of jobs because you didn’t want to learn a new language?


4) C programs are smaller and faster then any other program created in a different language. Sometimes your program needs that speed boost that only C can give it.


5) If you have learned C, you can learn any modern programming language. The reason behind this is that all modern programming languages are based on C (Java, C++, C#, etc).


6) Because C has been around for many years, it has a large community and collective code base. This allows you to quickly and efficiently implement new algorithms or functions that have been programmed before.


7) C is the language of the Open Source community. The Open Source poster child, Linux, was coded in C. If you know C, you can participate in and contribute to numerous Open Source communities like Source Forge.


cool C is the only language that teaches you what pointers really are. C# and Java skip the subject completely. It is pointers that give C its power.


9) C is still the most commonly required language for programming jobs. It is well worth your time to get C under your belt.


10) Anything that has a microprocessor in it has support for C. From your microwave to your cell phone, C powers technology

Automation - Update Naukri Profile Using Selenium

Recently one of my friend came to me with a problem. He is looking out for new job but he feels quite boring to update  his profile on daily basis. As some people says updating profile in the morning gives you more calls as it keeps the newly updated profile on top (Although i don’t know whether naukri works this way or not 😀 ). As i was more interested to solve his problem.  After listening his problem i came to solution that instead of updating it manually lets make this job automatic. And it is quite interesting how we can automate our daily boring task with automation. Another day i came with the solution . And the solution was to make it automatic using selenium (Those who are not aware about selenium do check this link) In short, Selenium is a Testing automation Framework. And it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well....

3 facts about Microsoft Windows

1. Nobody can create a folder named “Con”. Try to create anywhere on your hard disk a folder called “Con” (without the quotes). Go to a location on your hard disk, right click, choose “New” and then select “Folder” from the menu that appears. Name the folder “Con” (without quotes) and hit Enter. You’ll see that the folder won’t be named “Con“. It will be “New folder” 2. A text file made with Notepad, with the following content : “Bush hid the facts” (without quotes) won’t display the actual text. Go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad . Write in Notepad the following text : “Bush hid the facts” (without quotes) then Save the file and exit Notepad. Now go to the text file you created and open it. You’ll see that the text you just wrote and save won’t show. 3. Write in Word this : “=rand(200,99)” (without the quotes) and witness the magic. Open Microsoft Word and on the first line write : “=rand(200,99)” (without the quotes) and hit Enter
