Software Developer VS Software Engineer

Many times people get confused between Software Engineer and Software Developer, maybe because of similar occupation names. However, they are different, their work is different, and their professionalism is different. The difference is like between Security Guard and Bodyguard, both are called security but their work is different. Let us understand the difference between them:

·        Who is a Software Engineer?

A person who applies the philosophy of software engineering to develop, maintain, design, test, and evaluate computer software is known as a Software Engineer.

·        Who is a Software Developer?

A person who builds software with writing code from scratch, which runs across various types of computer is known as a Software Developer. The application could be Desktop app, Mobile app, and Web app.

·        What are the few challenges faced by a Software Engineer and Software Developer?

Software Engineer:

Ø  More increasing demand in the market.

Ø  Dealing with complexity of software always demands new applications.

Ø  Assortment of software systems should be communication with each other.

Software Developer:

Ø  Misinterpreted user requirements.

Ø  Not able to deal with changing requirements.

Ø  Low quality of software.

·  Differentiating Developers and Engineers:

Engineers are team-oriented building tools for software which later are built as applications, whereas Developers are the ones writing the entire program codes on their own. Developers use software tools made by engineers.

·   The world depends on Software’s in today’s era. Both, Software Engineer and Software Developer are important in their particular field. If one cannot build tools to create software, then others cannot write codes to develop applications. We @Cloudploys build applications as per your needs and desires. We @Cloudploys provide best applications built by talented, skilled, and experienced developers. We @Cloudploys are motivated by the desire to achieve. Stay tuned for more information.

Deep Dive into Java and Python

What is Java? A multi-platform and object oriented programming language. It is the most used programming language. Sun Microsoft released it in 1995, which was later acquired by the Oracle Corporation.

What is Python? A high-level object oriented programming language. It is preferred for rapid application development. It is one of the fastest programming languages, as it requires only two lines of code.

What are the benefits of using Java?

What are the benefits of using Python?

  • Brief documentation is available
  • Highly skilled and major number of developers available
  • Allow users to create standard programs and reusable code
  • It allows users to perform multiple tasks at the same time in a program
  • Easy to navigate
  • Clean syntax as compared to Java, C++, HTML, etc.
  • Very useful in data analysis
  • It is easy to maintain, as its code is easy to write
  • Comes with a prebuilt library, which makes user development easy
  • Offers database interface to all commercial DBMS systems

 

What are the disadvantages of Java?

What are the disadvantages of Python?

  • The JIT compiler makes the program slow
  •  It has high memory and processing requirements, which increases hardware cost
  •  It does not provide support for low-level programs
  • No control over garbage collection
  • Used in less platforms compared to Java
  • Python is weak in mobile computing and therefore, no use in app development
  • It is dynamic, more errors show up at run time
  • Absence of commercial support

 

But now the question is which is better – Java or Python?

It really depends on the user’s purpose, what type of app development they are looking for. Those who want to develop an application in less time and not involve mobile computing can use Python. Whereas, those who want to develop applications where multiple users could perform tasks should prefer Java. 

Python is for the beginners due to its simplicity, easy syntax, and inbuilt library for code. On the other hand, Java is much more complicated due to its specific goal of allowing developers to write once and run anywhere.

At last, everything comes down to the cost and nature of development. The decision depends on the budget, purpose and scale & scope of development. 

We @Cloudploys provide you accurate information that helps you in determining your final choice. However, it is difficult to learn programming overnight but it is crucial to know where to start and what results to get. Stay tuned with us to learn about tech and grow your business digitally!

WHY TIKTOK? Is it about the bugs in the app.. Or something else?

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak from China has created multiple disruptions around the world leading to disputes with Chinese startups and businesses. Almost every country is going through turmoil which is expanding vastly to many industries, although with the help of the internet a lot of digital startups have in fact blossomed. TikTok/Douyin is a Chinese social networking service via sharing video. The company is owned by ByteDance, a Beijing based internet technology company founded in 2012 by Zhang Yiming. TikTok has come a long way without making any profits and created a trustworthy & engaging network in many countries such as India, Australia, US and many more. Furthermore, TikTok currently hosts a lot of videos, images, graphics data similar to Facebook, Google and other bigger platforms which have apps, web pages, emails, socialisation etc.  TikTok app is highly compatible with most smartphones and caters to a wide demographic audience. Users have rarely reported any bugs and have never reported downtime due to server issues. However, TikTok has been highly targeted in all major countries not due to bugs or issues but only because it is a “Chinese” startup. Banning an application might/not make a difference (time will tell) but evolving positively with time definitely will. We at CloudPloys continue to deliver user friendly apps, web pages and online portals. We are dedicated to providing and developing creative new ideas here in Melbourne and can also assist with deployment of businesses in the digital world.
