Software Developer VS Software Engineer

by BusinessDigitalTechnology

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.

Speckle – 3D open source platform

by BusinessDigitalTechnology

Speckle – 3D open source platform 

What is Speckle?

Speckle is an open source data platform for the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry to share the ideas and designs of a project into 3D data with others.

What is the AEC industry?

A – Architecture designs the infrastructure

E- Engineering includes civil engineers who oversee construction and maintenance

C – Construction plays a role of coordinating skilled workers and contractors

What is the story behind Speckle?

Speckle is an early-stage start-up based in London. There are two founders, both are Architects and Engineers. It enables them to understand and identify the issue regarding exchange of 3D files from vendors in the AEC industry. They wanted to make it easier by developing an open source platform where they can exchange and collaborate these files.

As engineers, Dimitri Stefanescu and Matteo Cominetti had the skill to start finding the problems and solutions in the AEC industry. They decided to sort out long-standing problems in the AEC industry around sharing proprietary files involving designs and building projects. Speckle provides a process through which it is easier for companies to share information in 3D formats. 

How does Speckle work?

Supposedly, user 1 created a design on Speckle platform. Each user’s various streams are stored by the Speckle online platform, which also refreshes the streams automatically in real time when users make modifications. Therefore, user 2, 3, 4, 5…., etc., can see the design created by user 1, and if the changes are made, it will be uploaded to the server and other users will know what was updated. Using Speckle, Architects, Engineers or Constructors do not have to create the same and same designs repeatedly. If someone has created the designs before, it would have been stored in the server.

Speckle is one of the best online sharing open source platforms. It helps save time for Architects to design the same pattern again. Speckle is also a developer platform on which you can harvest 3D data and use it for productive things like building applications that makes it easier to work with.

Deep Dive into Java and Python

by BusinessDigitalTechnology

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!

Programming Languages

by with No Comment BusinessDigitalTechnology

There are quite a few programming languages in the tech world! But the most tricky part is to know how and where you use these different languages? 

In this article you will get a quick insight of a couple of different programming languages and what are the key characteristics of each:

PHP – a general purpose scripting language known for its accelerated learning curve. It is super beginner-friendly, and to top it all, it supports a large pool of all the websites out there, with a popular one being WordPress!

Python – a less beginner-friendly programming language as compared to PHP. But fairly popular with its usage in web-development. Also, it is widely used at university level and this is due to its compatibility with mathematical algorithms & machine learning.

Rust / Elixir – a fancy and impressive one to add to your programming language skills. This is a considerably new programming language and one of those ones that emerges every day but takes the entire community by surprise. Rust/Elixir’s original approach to solving problems is quite appealing to a lot of potential users, primarily because of their simplicity & effectiveness.

JavaScript + CSS + HTML – a blessing in the world of front-end development. Massively popular in the developers world, with an expanding community dedicated to improving the front end space, along with a large number of potential newbies joining each day.

So if you are not really into a programming language, then it is not the end of the world! 

The programming world offers a variety of other subjects as well for you to consider like “Databases” & “Big Data Analysis”, and in fact both these subjects are dearly important in the IT community. 

These languages need some matter to develop on and this is where these other subjects come in place. All this data has to be analyzed, manipulated and computed in order for anyone to have something concrete to develop further on or even use the programming languages to derive results. 

Another thing to consider is the type of data, agenda of its usage and the ultimate output that plays a big role in deciding the most efficient languages to use when conducting the analysis. This discretion comes with time & experience, so even if you lack it then it does not deprive you of reaping it’s benefits just reach out to us because @CloudPloys we have it all!
