Hi analysts!⭐️
Topic for today is "5 Reasons to Complete CS50".
CS50: Introduction to Computer Science is a course offered by Harvard and Yale Universities, focusing on computer science fundamentals. In this course, David J. Malan instructs students in algorithmic thinking and efficient problem-solving techniques
🔸Teaches computer science and programming basics: The course explains how computers work and, more importantly, introduces programming languages C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript, plus Scratch, CSS, and HTML. While it is not feasible to master any language in just a few lectures, the aim is not to become proficient but to grasp the fundamentals and recognize patterns.
🔸Immerses you in the IT context: The course not only introduces technical terms but also emphasizes their correct pronunciation, which is crucial. It is updated annually, ensuring that only relevant terminology is included. For instance, the 2024 edition features a special lecture on AI.
🔸Fills gaps in the technical background: Upon completion, you will find it easier to understand concepts such as abstraction, algorithms, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, and web development. Moreover, it covers databases and SQL in detail, which is essential for a business analyst.
🔸Allows you to get into the role of a developer: Through lectures and problem sets (if you are interested, but feel free to skip), you will gain insights into why bugs occur, what debugging tools can be used, and why developers indeed should dedicate time to refactoring code.
🔸It is free: The course content is offered for free and accessible across various platforms and languages (though enrolling on edX is recommended, or, you can find it on YouTube). Additionally, you have the option to purchase a certificate on edX. This will entail completing all problem sets, submitting the final project and paying approximately $219, but this expenditure may not be necessary. The most important is the knowledge gained from the course.
As a bonus, completing the course allows you to claim that you have studied at Harvard🤓

In the realm of software development, the clarity and accuracy of software requirements are pivotal for project success. Traditionally viewed as static documents to be archived post-project, this perspective neglects their ongoing potential.
Living software requirements is a paradigm where these documents evolve continually with the software, serving as an enduring source of truth. This approach not only maintains relevance but also actively shapes the software’s lifecycle, promoting adaptability and precision in development processes.
They ensure that as software grows and changes, the documentation is not left behind, thus avoiding the pitfalls of outdated or irrelevant information – because often zero documentation is worse than out of date documentation!

Hi analysts!⭐️
For today we have nice article "Microservices Lessons From Netflix".
Netflix runs on AWS. They started with a monolith and moved to microservices. Their reasons for migrating to microservices were the following:
📌 It was difficult to find bugs with many changes to a single codebase
📌 It became difficult to scale vertically
📌 There were many single points of failures
This post outlines the Microservices lessons from Netflix.

Hi analysts!⭐️
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects," which can contain data and code that manipulates the data. OOP principles help in designing software that is modular, reusable, and easy to maintain. The four main principles of OOP are:
1. Encapsulation
Definition: Encapsulation is about wrapping the data (attributes) and methods (functions) that work on the data into a single unit called a class. This hides the internal state of the object and only exposes what is necessary.
Key Points:
Data Hiding: Only specific parts of the object can be accessed, protecting the internal data from outside interference.
Getter and Setter Methods: These methods allow controlled access to the object's data.
2. Inheritance
Definition: Inheritance allows one class (child class) to inherit the properties and methods of another class (parent class). This helps in reusing code.
Key Points:
Parent and Child Classes: Child classes inherit from parent classes and can add their own features.
Overriding: Child classes can change how inherited methods work.
3. Polymorphism
Definition: Polymorphism allows methods to do different things based on the object they are called on, even if the method name is the same.
Key Points:
Method Overriding: Different classes can have methods with the same name, which perform different tasks.
Flexible Code: Makes the code more flexible and easier to extend.
4. Abstraction
Definition: Abstraction is about hiding the complex details and showing only the essential features of an object. It simplifies the use of complex systems.
Key Points:
Abstract Classes: These are classes that cannot be instantiated directly and are meant to be subclassed.
Essential Features: Only the important details are shown to the user.
These principles form the foundation of OOP and facilitate the development of software that is easier to manage, scale, and reuse.
