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

Developing a C++ Program on Kali Linux Without Installing Additional Software This article is for hackers who want to develop a C++ program on Kali Linux without installing any additional software. Some might say you need to install a separate compiler or extra tools to write and run a simple C++ program on Kali Linux. However, I’ll show you how to do it right out of the box. Pre-installed C++ Compiler in Kali Linux Kali Linux comes with a pre-installed C++ compiler called g++ . We will use this to write and compile a basic "Hello, World!" program. Step 1: Check if g++ is Installed Open your terminal and run the following command: g++ -v If the compiler is installed, you should see version details. If not, you will get an error message. Step 2: Create a C++ File In your terminal, type: nano MyCpp.cpp This will create a C++ file and open it in the Nano editor. Step 3: Write the C++ Code Once Nano opens, enter the following C++ code: #include <...

HOW TO INSTALL BLOGENGINE.NET WITH VISUAL STUDIO.

Yes there are lots of article on the internet that already describes how to do this, but that wont stop me from sharing my own idea on how I got mine rocking with visual studio 2012. Now here is the story, I woke up one morning and discovered I was departing from being a beginner programmer to a programmer who is at least worthy to be called a programmer. So I felt I needed to share my programming experience and the only known way I could do that, was to start blogging, hmmm... Just like you, I didn't like blogger, I needed  to be my own boss. So, I started my own blog project, but wait....  Why was I doing that when there are open source blog projects being developed and maintained by developers who are more "programmatically" experienced than I?. BlogEngine was the one I chose and the installation was a breeze. All I did was go to the site, downloaded the first zip file which is tagged "web", extracted it to my visual studio project directory, opened vi...

How to Check Logs or Journal of a Specific Service on Linux

Monitoring logs is an essential part of system administration. On Linux, logs help diagnose issues and track service behavior. This guide covers various ways to check logs for a specific service. Using journalctl for Systemd Services Most modern Linux distributions use systemd , and logs are stored in the journal. To view logs for a specific service, use: journalctl -u service-name.service Example for Nginx: journalctl -u nginx.service Viewing Real-Time Logs To follow logs in real time, use: journalctl -u service-name.service -f This is similar to tail -f for traditional log files. Checking Logs with a Time Filter To see logs from the last 1 hour: journalctl -u service-name.service --since "1 hour ago" For logs between two timestamps: journalctl -u service-name.service --since "2024-02-01 10:00" --until "2024-02-01 12:00" Using Traditional Log Files Some services log to files in /var/log/ . Check: ls /var/log/ For example, Nginx lo...
