HOW TO CHOOSE BETWEEN ASP.NET VS PHP FOR WEB DEVELOPMENT

  On one side, we have PHP, the world most used and popular language on the Internet with millions of dedicated PHP developers all across the globe. On the other side, we have ASP.NET, a Microsoft platform. Now to the layman, it is not easy to know what’s right and what’s wrong with these languages Here is an elaborative comparison guide that helps you figure out the best technology for your next web app development in India project. I’m sure after reading this article, you’ll have a clear idea about which technology suits you better.

 I have no doubt on the fact that both of these programming languages have become successful ventures, and have developed great websites.

PHP is a free open source platform while ASP.Net is a paid Microsoft platform. PHP is a mix between a programming language and a web framework whereas ASP.NET is a straight application framework.On one side PHP is a free open source platform while ASP.Net is a paid Microsoft platform. PHP is a mix between a programming language and a web framework whereas ASP.NET is a straight application framework.

however, there is very little difference between the performance of PHP websites and ASP.NET websites.

For example, take one of the most common tasks of any web application which is to query a database and output the results on the web server— and ultimately to the end user’s browserBoth PHP and ASP.NET web development are equally equipped to access file systems, find images, and display pages on a web server and the speed of these performances rely much more on the database server, end user’s computer, and bandwidth, etc.

PHP is an open source, and thus, completely free, while ASP.NET is owned by Microsoft and comes with a web hosting fee. However, the costs of those fees shouldn’t be exorbitant enough to deter you from Outsource ASP.NET development company pool if you’re already leaning that way for your project development.

Also worth noting here is that PHP can be used on Mac, Windows, or Linux machines while ASP.NET development services are only meant to be run on Windows machines. That being said if you use a Mac or Linux you can use the Mono project to use ASP.NET.

PHP Development- Pros

– It is an open source that means it’s free to use and is constantly being improved by a large number of people rather than a single company

– PHP has large support community of programmer

– PHP is great for large projects like Facebook, White House websites.

– PHP is highly effective at accessing and communicating with various database types. This makes it perfect for web-based scripts, such as website content management systems.

– It’s is highly scalable and you can easily customize according to your need

– There are thousands of Expert PHP developers available in the market.

– Low cost easy to learn, code and pick up.

– There are a number of online support groups to help speed up the learning process.

PHP- Cons

– One of the main disadvantages of PHP is that it is generally not suitable for making desktop applications.

– Compared to other languages, PHP applications tend to run slower.

– It allows customization that causes bugs and poor coding than ASP.NET.

– PHP error handling is traditionally considered poor when compared to other programming languages which mean it can take more time to discover why a particular piece of code isn’t working at expected.

 ASP.NET– Pros

– ASP.NET is highly scalable; its scalability index even posing a stiff competition to its rival PHP.

– Microsoft owns it.

– Support all programming languages and works well with either app or C#

– It informs developer if they made any mistake in coding before compile.

– It comes with lots of tools and features to support programmers.

– Works extremely well with Windows

– Excellent platform for Enterprise applications.

– Fast development with a lot of pre-coded options

– An excellent UI for developers

 ASP.NET– Cons

– Not easy to learn and harder to understand

– Smaller support community

– It operates only on a Microsoft server

– It is slightly expensive because of its Microsoft license

– Not as good as PHP for website development

– Based on closed source technology.

Fake Google Play apps 

Fake Google Play apps duped Android users, says researcher

Fake apps have been downloaded over 50 million times from the Play Store

Earlier this month, Google removed 85 malicious apps from its Play Store. A nefarious adware app was disguised in the form of gaming and remote control simulator apps and had been downloaded over 9 million times from Google’s app store. And now, less than a month later, a new set of apps has been spotted violating the company’s Play Store guidelines.

ESET malware researcher, Lukas Stefanko, has spotted 15 GPS-based apps operating in the Google Play store that are using the company’s mobile platform for duping Android users and earning money from them.

These apps, which include the likes of GPS Route Finder, GPS Live Street Maps and Maps GPS Navigation among others, as Stefanko pointed out in a series of tweets, don’t provide any additional service of their own to the users. Instead, they use Google Maps or its API for displaying ads to their users. What’s more, some of these apps also seek permissions to access users’ contacts, messages, and call details.

The security researcher wrote in a tweet that these apps pretend to be full-feature navigation apps, but all they do is to create a ‘useless’ layer between the user and Google Maps app.

To put it simply, once users download these apps and tap on the drive or navigate or any other option, these apps open Google Maps to help out the users. However, apart from displaying the navigational information, they also bombard users’ smartphone screens with ads. Some of them, then ask users to shell small amount to get rid of the ads.

The purpose, as you must have guessed by now, is to earn some easy money by duping users into downloading the fake apps and then forcing them to pay up to remove the ads served by this apps.

What’s astonishing is that despite the fact that some of these apps don’t even have a proper app icon, they have been downloaded over 50 million times from the Play Store, the researcher noted.

Ketogenic diet 

The Ketogenic diet, popularly called the keto diet, is a low-carb, high-fat diet which is extremely popular for weight loss. It is also known for its benefits against diabetes and cancer. It works on the principle of ketosis, which is a metabolic state. The diet cuts carbs and increases the intake of fats through diet. The body uses this fat for energy and burns it, leading to weight loss.

                  There are certain foods that you can include in your diet when you are on a Keto diet. These foods are low on carbohydrates and high on fats and therefore perfect for your keto diet. There are also certain foods and beverages that you should absolutely avoid in order to make sure your keto diet works well.

 Cheese- One reason a lot of people love a ketogenic diet is that they can have cheese, which is low on carbs, high on fat, and extremely nutritious. Though rich in saturated fats, it is proven to not lead to any health risks related to the heart and is also proven to be helpful in building muscle mass and strength.

Eggs- Eggs are low on carbs and high on protein and therefore a great food item to include in your diet for keto and weight loss. Eggs keep you full, reduce blood sugar, and are extremely versatile and easy to make. Though the egg yolk contains cholesterol, eggs are known to modify the shape of LDL (bad cholesterol) to reduce heart conditions

.

Cottage cheese- or vegetarians, one of the best options for a keto diet is cottage cheese or paneer. Pan fried cottage cheese cubes with a sprinkle of masala over them can not only keep you full but also provide you with the right nutrient balance for a keto diet. Cottage cheese is high in protein and contains very fewer carbs

Greek yoghurt- You can eat this as a dessert because most desserts are off the table when it comes to the keto diet. Rich in proteins and low on carbs, greek yoghurt can be mixed with cheese, cottage cheese or eggs, or had as a standalone snack or dessert with some natural sweetener.

Butter- Another reason the keto diet seems to be doable is the permission to use butter. Butter has fats but no carbs, and therefore makes for a good oil for cooking. You can also use coconut oil or olive oil for the same as they are also very low on carbohydrates

Dark chocolate- dark chocolate can be a great food item to include in your keto diet as they are delicious, very healthy, aid weight loss, and are very rich in antioxidants. Dark chocolate keeps the heart healthy, and also helps in detoxifying the body.

Top 15 Foods for Muscle Building:-

Today almost everyone wants to increase their muscle size due to fitness trend so that i am going to tell you about natural foods which help you to consume protein. While your gym instructor may tell you that using supplements will help you in body building, experts believe otherwise. Supplements available in the market may be helpful, but until you’re nourished internally, no foreign food will help you. Hence, before buying them, it is important to first consume energy from natural resources. 

1- Eggs:  Breakfast should be made compulsory every day. Do not over do it. Stick to consuming 1-2 eggs. See the difference in your energy levels. The protein content in every egg is 6 to 8 grams. Other than this, eggs are also rich in vitamins, zinc, iron and calcium.

2- Chicken breast: Chicken breast is the most worked muscle, hence it is also the healthiest. It is packed with 30 grams of protein in every 100 grams of chicken breast. Consuming this every day for either lunch or dinner can make a huge difference.

3- Oats: The low in calorie in food, oats are a good combination of carbs, fiber, proteins, minerals and vitamins. Oats can be consumed in various forms: with milk or water, cooked in the form of rotis or included in your salads.

4- Spinach: Spinach contains phytoecdysteroids, which aid in increasing muscle growth upto 20 percent according to a research at Rutgers University in 2008. Leafy vegetables help a great deal if you are trying to build muscles and lose fat as they are packed with antioxidants.

 5- Sweet potato:  Sweet potatoes are an under-rated vegetable that need to be considered as a part of healthy diets. This is because they contain fewer carbs than a medium potato, 23 grams. Sweet potatoes are also good sources of vitamin A,  potassium, riboflavin, copper, pantothenic acid and folic acid. All these help in replenishing energy and even boost the muscle building process.

 6- Broccoli: Broccoli is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Include broccoli in your salad to make the most of this green vegetabl

7- Brown rice: Brown rice contains complex carbohydrates which our body works to break down and consequently boosts our metabolism and burns more calories. This is a great source of carb post workout and is ideal for consumption with any salad or main dish.

8- Cottage cheese: Cottage cheese is a rich source of protein as it contains 28 grams in every cup. Cottage cheese makes us feel fuller for a longer time as the protein breaks down slowly. Including this in your salad, sandwiches or even subzi will be beneficial for you.

9- Chocolate milk: Yes, you read that right. According to a study published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, it was found that chocolate milk is as effective as any sports drink in increasing the total exercise output and even delays exhaustion. This means that when you start exercising, your body will not get tired quickly and will have more stamina.

10- Banana: The most popular choice for many body builders, we cannot take banana out of the list. This is because banana contains three types of sugars: Fructose, sucrose, and glucose. These sugars are of prime importance pre-and post workout and training. Bananas do not contain fat and are cholesterol free along with being nutrient dense, making them the perfect pre-and post workout snack.

11-Papaya: Papayas contains papain which are responsible for breaking down dietary protein intro easily absorbable compounds. Papayas can be consumed as a pre-workout fruit and also during the day. You can also have it in the form of a smoothie with honey.

12- Olive oil:  Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat. This fat prevents in muscle breakdown and joints. Other than this, olive oil also contains omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health. Olive oil also have anti-inflammatory properties which help with muscle pain and aids recovery as well

13- Whey protein: Whey protein is the purest form of protein and hence our body absorbs it faster than any other form post- workout. This is the watery portion of milk that separates from the curd during the process of making cheese. This is a highly digestible form of protein.

14- Water: Nutrients need fluids to travel to all parts of your body. Water is the best way to hydrate your body. Muscle building is a difficult process and requires the purest form of hydration. Hydration will increase strength, energy levels and aid digestion. The muscle tissue in our body is 75 percent water and needs to be fuelled properly.

15- Lentils and chickpeas: If you are a vegetarian trying to achieve muscle building, lentils and chickpeas are essential for you. This is because they contain proteins which your meat eating counter parts get from non-vegetarian sources.

History

        History Of Grenland

The world's largest island, is the history of life under extreme Arctic conditions: an ice-cap covers about 84 percent of the island, largely restricting human activity to the coasts. Greenland was unknown to Europeans until the 10th century, when it was discovered by Icelandic Vikings.  The first people to set foot in Greenland arrived around 4-5000 years ago from the North American continent via Canada when the sea froze in the narrow strait at Thule in northern Greenland.
No less than six different Inuit cultures have immigrated in several waves. Greenland’s population today is descended from the last immigration, the Thule culture, which arrived here in around the 9th century AD.

THE NORSE SETTLERS AND THE VIKING PERIOD IN GREENLAND

         The Vikings arrived in Greenland at the end of the 10th century. They were led by Erik Thorvaldsson (c.950-1003), known as Erik the Red because of his red hair. Erik first sailed to Greenland about 982 and he like what he saw. Erik the Red is said to have given the country its name 'Greenland' hoping it would attract settlers. At any rate around 985 Erik led the first Viking settlers to Greenland. He set out with a fleet of 25 ships but only 14 of them made it.

                                                              The Vikings were able to live in Greenland because at that time the climate of was milder that it is today and the settlers were able to live by farming. The Vikings made two settlements in Greenland, a Western and an Eastern settlement. Eventually the European population of Greenland rose to over 3,000. In 1126 Greenland gained a bishop and in 1261 Greenland became part of Norway. Then in 1380 Norway was joined to Denmark and Greenland came under Danish rule.

                                           Modern history

In 1578 the Englishman Martin Frobisher landed on Greenland. Then in 1585 and 1587 John Davis explored the eastern coast and the Davis Strait is named after him. From the late 17th century European whalers visited Greenland.

Europeans returned to Greenland permanently in 1721 when the missionary Hans Egede (1686-1758) went to evangelize the Inuit. In 1728 Egede founded Godthab (now called Nuuk). Greenland formally came under Danish rule again in 1729.

In 1888 a Norwegian named Fridtjof Nansen led the first expedition to cross Greenland.

In 1940 the Germans occupied Denmark but afterwards, in 1941 the USA established bases in Greenland. In 1953 Greenland ceased to be a colony of Denmark and became a province (an integral part of the country). The Bank of Greenland was founded in 1966 and in 1973 Greenland with Denmark became part of the EU. However links with Denmark weakened. In 1979 Greenland was granted home rule. In 1982 the people of Greenland voted to leave the EU and they ceded in 1985. Also in 1985 Greenland obtained a flag. Greenland was granted still more autonomy in 2009. Kalaallisut was made the official language of Greenland instead of Danish. Today the official name of Greenland is Kalaallit Nunaat. However the queen of Denmark is still the head of state of Greenland.

Today the population of Greenland is 57,000. The capital of Greenland, Nuuk has a population of 15,000. Most of the population of Greenland are Inuit.

the main industry in Greenland is fishing. However Greenland has great potential for tourism. Greenland is also very rich in minerals

Facts And Discovery

                                                           Mariana Trench 

                                     The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean approximately 200 kilometres (124 mi) east of the Mariana Islands, and has the deepest natural point in the world. It is a crescent-shaped trough in the Earth's crust averaging about 2,550 km (1,580 mi) long and 69 km (43 mi) wide. The maximum known depth is 10,994 metres (36,070 ft) (± 40 metres [130 ft]) at the southern end of a small slot-shaped valley in its floor known as the Challenger Deep. However, some unrepeated measurements place the deepest portion at 11,034 metres (36,201 ft).  For comparison: if Mount Everest were dropped into the trench at this point, its peak would still be over 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) under water. At the bottom of the trench the water column above exerts a pressure of 1,086 bars (15,750 psi), more than 1,000 times the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. At this pressure, the density of water is increased by 4.96%, so that 95.27 litres of water under the pressure of the Challenger Deep would contain the same mass as 100 litres at the surface. The temperature at the bottom is 1 to 4 °C (34 to 39 °F).   

                           
The depths of the Mariana Trench were first plumbed in 1875 by the British ship H.M.S. Challenger as part of the first global oceanographic cruise. The Challenger scientists recorded a depth of 4,475 fathoms (about five miles, or eight kilometers) using a weighted sounding rope. In 1951, the British vessel H.M.S. Challenger II returned to the spot with an echo-sounder and measured a depth of nearly 7 miles (11 kilometers)

The majority of the Mariana Trench is now a U.S. protected zone as part of the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument, established by President George W. Bush in 2009. Permits for research in the monument, including in the Sirena Deep, have been secured from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Permits for research in the Challenger Deep have been secured from the Federated States of Micronesia.

HISTORIC DIVE

Because of its extreme depth, the Mariana Trench is cloaked in perpetual darkness and the temperature is just a few degrees above freezing. The water pressure at the bottom of the trench is a crushing eight tons per square inch—or about a thousand times the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. Pressure increases with depth.

                The first and only time humans descended into the Challenger Deep was more than 50 years ago. In 1960, Jacques Piccard and Navy Lt. Don Walsh reached this goal in a U.S. Navy submersible, a bathyscaphe called the Trieste. After a five-hour descent, the pair spent only a scant 20 minutes at the bottom and were unable to take any photographs due to clouds of silt stirred up by their passage

Facts And Discovery

North Sentinel Island

           
                                   North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman island an archipelago in the Bay of bengal which also includes South sentinel island It is home to the sentinelies  a people who have rejected, often violently, any contact with the outside world. They are among the last uncontacted people to remain virtually untouched by modern civilisation. Nominally, the island belongs to the South andaman administrative district, part of the Indian union territory of Andaman and Nicobar island. Indian authorities recognise the islanders' desire to be left alone and restrict their role to remote monitoring; they do not prosecute them for killing non-Sentinelese people. North Sentinel is surrounded by coral reefs, and lacks natural harbours. The entire island, other than the shore, is forested.

North Sentinel Island is part of the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. It is home to the Sentinelese people, who are among the world’s last uncontacted tribes – that is, indigenous groups that maintain no contact with modern civilisation. Most past efforts to contact the Sentinelese have been met with hostility. No missionary has ever got close enough to proselytise to them. Chau took this as a challenge. He was killed shortly after arrival, his body visible from a distance on the beach. Indian police refrened from retrieving it.

On the documented occasions when onge-speaking individuals were taken to North sentinel island in order to attempt communication, they were unable to recognise any of the language spoken by the inhabitants. It has been recorded that the Jarawa and Sentinelese languages are mutually unintelligible.

John Allen Chau knew he might die. The 26-year-old US evangelical missionary was killed, in late November, on North Sentinel Island, by members of the indigenous community that he sought to convert to Christianity. He saw this as his life’s mission – and understood the risk. Most of the media coverage has focused on the fact that Chau approached the Sentinelese in violation of Indian law, which protects them from external interference. His mission was deemed at best misguided and at worst plain wrong.

                        TN Pandit was the first anthropologist to enter the isolated Andaman island of North Sentinel, back in 1967. He says he was surprised when he heard that an American evangelist, John Allen Chau, had been killed by the Sentinelese. Speaking to ET at his residence in New Delhi, 83-year-old Pandit narrated his experiences of interacting with the Sentinelese, among the few remaining isolated tribes in the world. The tribe is not hostile, nor do they raid their neighbours, Pandit says. “They only say, leave us alone,” said Pandit, also the author of the book, The Sentinelese. 

The Sentinelese survived the Indian ocean earthquake and its after-effects, including the tsunami and the uplifting of the island. Three days after the earthquake, an Indian government helicopter observed several islanders, who shot arrows and threw spears and stones at the helicopter Although the tsunami disturbed the tribal fishing grounds, the Sentinelese appear to have adapted. In January 2006, two fishermen fishing in illegal waters were killed by the Sentinelese when their boat drifted too close to the island. There were no prosecutions.
