Solana Development Roadmap

Solana is a public blockchain platform with smart contract functionality and SOL as its native cryptocurrency. It was first proposed in 2017 and its fist block was created on 16th march'20. This is understood as a big competitor to Ethereum with a higher transactions per second (~65000) and lower gas fee.  It enables developers to write on-chain programs in general purpose programming language such as Rust . Rust is a multi-paradigm, general purpose programming language that emphasis performance, type safety and concurrency. I found two amazing rust resources that helped me gear up my track to learn solana development: 1. Rust Book:  The Rust Programming Language - The Rust Programming Language (rust-lang.org) 2. Rust by Excercism:  Rust on Exercism Another youtube channel let's get rusty has amazing videos to learn from. Web3 fundamentals are backbone to any blockchain and so for solana.

Machine Learning - Coursera

About this Course 4.9⭐ (41310 reviews) Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. In the past decade, machine learning has given us self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, effective web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome. Machine learning is so pervasive today that you probably use it dozens of times a day without knowing it. Many researchers also think it is the best way to make progress towards human-level AI. In this class, you will learn about the most effective machine learning techniques, and gain practice implementing them and getting them to work for yourself. More importantly, you'll learn about not only the theoretical underpinnings of learning but also gain the practical know-how needed to quickly and powerfully apply these techniques to new problems. Finally, you'll learn about some of Silicon Valley's best practices in innovation as it pertains to machine learning and AI

Why UpSkill?

UpSkill Today!! What is UpSkilling? Upskilling is the process of acquiring new and relevant competencies that are required to make your life better and your work easier. It includes all sorts of learning be it behavioral or technical. Although, it is popularly used for technical learning because it is assumed that behavioral learning is natural and may not come with practice but everything about a persons' self can be changed with it. You can always become a better human being if you keep updating yourself with changes required to stand out. Why should you UpSkill? Upskilling is important to stay updated, perform better and deal with situations in the most efficient way.  This is an evolutionary process, it's about how to think within, respond to and rapidly adapt to a morphing technological environment in a way that is sustainable over time. In other words, upskilling should become a habit for long-lasting success. How can I UpSkill? Upskilling is about exploring your life. Th

pip install xgboost

I have tried a million ways over years to by-pass all the certs/securities but never had a one right way to do this, xgboost is a very popular ml algorithm but been hard to install. This time finally I made it happen. I downloaded the wheel file directly and installed it to make this happen right. I also have a video for this but this article shows step by step process on how to do it right. Here is how: Open command window from start menu in windows: Fig1: Open Command Window Go to the website to find unofficial binaries 👉 here , find the desired .whl file, in this case, we are looking for xgboost, and download the compatible version with your machine and python: Fig2: The Unofficial Binaries Locate the downloaded file on your machine: Fig3: Locate the Files Install from cmd using pip: Fig4: Install the file  And you are done, you can also follow these steps from my video here: 

Power Query - I : Dynamic Connection To Latest Data in Database

If coding/automation is not about us fooling the machine to get our work done, we haven't yet exploited our powers enough. I, in my daily life, do all sorts of problem-solving involves complex coding, cloud computing, etc. but I get my real kick when I solve the smallest problem like hacking excel, or automation of workflow using power query. Here is my latest gig, I tried to connect to an excel in SharePoint and ensure that every time the database is updated my query picks the latest file. This is the first time I am using power query and it sounds so powerful. So without further delay, let's see what I did: 1.  Connect Excel to DataBase:  Open an excel file, Select  Data  from the green ribbon, go to  Get  Data , select the drop-down on  From File , and connect to share point select  From SharePoint Folder.  Fig1: Select DataBase Once you select the database which is SharePoint in our case, you will get a window like this popping up to connect to it. Put in site url (not the
