Why now might be the right time to become a windows app/software developer.

With Windows 10, developing for Windows platform might be very rewarding to app developers, the Windows 10 team are working to make Windows 10 a unified, developer platform for all Windows devices so as a developer, you can reach the greatest number of customers with your apps across phones, tablet, PCs, Xbox, IoT (Internet of Things), Surface hub and the world's first hologrphic computing platform; Microsoft Hololens. And the new Microsoft Personal Assistant, hmmm, you will create apps that uses the Cortana feature, touch, video, audio and holograms in ways you only see in movies and in your dream.
I do not know what you think but for me, I think it will be an honor developing for the next generation devices. One thing we must all understand about Microsoft is that these guys are in business and investing in their products has always paid off, if you can purchase a license of Visual Studio, and make a good app with it, believe me you will be getting your money back in no time. With Microsoft development tools, you only worry about what you are building and not wasting valuable work force in troubleshooting and debugging your development tools. The Windows app store gives your app a marketing value and I also beleive this is where someone can pay a thousand dollar for your app, all it takes is to make a very useful program that your users will love. And the business models used for monetizing apps in this store are superb.
Microsoft has created a real market place for we developers, a market where apps undergo thorough test before getting published, a market where users can pay for apps with full trust. And the most interesting part is that you use the same skills and programming language you use in developing for Windows to deliver solutions to iOS and Android platforms using tools like Xamarin, Apacha Cordova all in one IDE (Integrated Development Environment). All you need is to get a PC purchase a copy of Visual Studio and start developing high quality apps for your platform of choice.
With all these new technologies Microsoft is releasing, this is the best time to develop for Windows. My only regret is that I started late.

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

This article is for hackers who want to develop a c++ program on Kali Linux without having to install any additional software. While some would tell you that you need to install an additional software or a compiler in order to develop a simple program in c++ on Kali Linux, I am going to show you how to develop a c++ program on this distro right out of box. Your Linux Kali comes pre-installed with a c++ compiler called g++ so we are going to write a C++ hello word code and compile it with this compiler. Before we get started, first open up terminal and run to verify if this compiler is installed on you machine: g++ -v if the compiler is pre-installed, you should get the version information of the compiler, otherwise, you should get an error. Now let's jump right in. In your terminal window, type in: nano MyCpp.cpp to create a c++ file and lunch it in nano editor for editing. When nano opens, type in the following c++ code and press Ctrl+x then y and then R

LOAN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (My Project Idea)

There are many companies that specializes on giving loan to people; they make their profits by collecting interest on any money they lend out, and before a loan can be given to any customer, the customer must provide a collateral and some details such as:  contact details and a reference/guarantor. When the loan is finally given to the customer, they charge interest based on the the amount given to the customer for a given period of time which could be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  For example, a company could be collecting interest based on a particular amount for a given period of time like: $200,000 loan would have an interest tag of $2,000  per month until the money is returned, and $100,000 would have an interest of $1,000 per month until the money is returned.  In  addition, the customers need to know when the time for them to pay their interest comes e.g.  at the end of the month or the timing model with which the calculation is being made. Usually, these companies sends ou

How to execute eject command on an ATM Machine using CoreXfs lib on .NET

 In this tutorial, I'm going to demonstrate how to run an eject command on an ATM using CoreXfs, a library I developed.  You can download the library from  here  and follow up with tutorial. First we need to add reference to the downloaded dll. Screen One Once the reference to the dll has been added, you can proceed to coding the application. What I did in the screen below is very simple, I opened the device on the atm using it's logical name so that I can pass in commands. Screen Two So, that's it. thanks for dropping by. You can watch the video below to see how I coded it. Note that this code can only run on an ATM machine. NCR, WINCOR, DIEBOLD, HYOSUNG
