In this part we will be looking on the more practical part of using this wonderful tool and also why we should learn it very first in our development career. Later, I will also help you understand that git is just a small part of the entire development career that you aspire to make and why it should not be considered just more than a medium to share your code with...

A beginners guide to NumPy

The previous post took you through the basics of machine learning using python with scikit-learn and tensorflow, this post will give you a brief introduction to Numpy. NumPy is a python package which stands for "Numeric Python". It enables you to do mathematical computations easily and effectively hence making coding simpler. http://www.numpy.org/ Installing via pip: After having python3 and pip installed, installing packages can be done using the following command on windows cmd. >>> python - m pip install -- user numpy scipy matplotlib ipython jupyter pandas --user makes pip install packages in your home directory instead, which doesn't require any special privileges. Import Numpy: >>> import numpy as np Now we use np as a reference to numpy in the code. Numpy arrays: Create a numpy array of type np.ndarray: >>> A = np.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]) Create a numpy array containing ones/...

Git : To do and Not To do: Part- 1

Git is a version control system that helps to maintain versions of your work over time. The above line may seem a bit overwhelming to read at first, as there are words which most of us not really understand as of now.

A version control system :- We all have heard the saying that Rome was not built in a day and believe me, if it is not your college assignments , no great app was ever built in a day or at least without using a VCS( version control system). Every app has multiple sections. Every section require some skills that is used to develop it. A skill may come under a set of skill that a contributor has. When we work alone or in a group with other developers, making any single project, it tends to happen that people take up sections that they are good at, as they believe that they can contri...
