Data is omnipresent – in every industry, firm, department, at every scale imaginable. The amount of data generated by modern businesses is already sizable, and this will grow to gigantic proportions in the foreseeable future. The numbers help get some perspective on this burgeoning scale of data. The world produces about 5 exabytes of data (2.5 Bn GB) every day. By 2025, this number is projected to reach 463 exabytes! From a business perspective, data…

Original image: Gabe Bienczycki, USAID (Public Domain Image) Inadequate access to healthcare, rural versus urban settings and low health awareness are major challenges faced by Low and Middle-Income Communities in developing countries (LMICs).

These gaps coupled with the lower health awareness, break the continuum of care and deteriorate care quality.  The COVID-19 pandemic has only worsened these gaps and exposed…

2022 is upon us. Will it be a year that shall see the world collectively come out of the shadow of the pandemic? And step into a post-pandemic future that looks distinctly different? Or, will 2022 also witness the same old confusing dance between attempts to unlock the economy and humble retreats forced by ever-evolving virus variants? A repeat of the last two years, to be brief? In these unprecedented times, the answers rarely come…

As more transmissible COVID-19 variants continue to cause a surge in the number of cases worldwide, countries' need to accelerate rapid testing, and the need to analyze the positivity rate more effectively is further pronounced. The need of the hour is to respond quickly, improve surveillance to contain outbreaks locally and curtail the spread of the virus at the community level.

Want to discuss the concepts and usages for a stream in general, and not the full technical aspects of it. The examples and terminologies are inherited from NodeJS. I am sure you’ll find alternative variants in other languages. Although streaming isn’t a new concept, there is quite some confusion when we think about implementing one. What is a stream? Is it a data type? Well, no! Some common data types that we are aware of…

Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a framework that allows you to apply agile practices at an enterprise level. The 5 minutes video below will give a brief idea of the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW2m-BtCJyE But before we dive into SAFe, let’s take a look into Agile, the building block of SAFe. Agile scrum methodology is a project management system that relies on incremental development. Each iteration consists of two to four-week sprints, where each sprint's goal is…

Let’s face it; Although coding is usually fun, sometimes it gets monotonous. We just hit the wall, forget the actual purpose, and eventually burn out. Sharing a developer’s experience, we spend more days analysing the task and finding the right way ahead. But in this flow we often get lost and confused.  Eventually we spend long weekends brainstorming and become irritable, losing our focus and leading to loss of interest in programming.So, now the question…

Nowadays, UI holds a great power; thanks to Javascript and other UI frameworks. We now have better control over the UI and can develop the UI with complex functionalities effectively. But, there are many factors that can affect the agility of UI development like Code structureCode complexityCode readability and qualityBlah blah blah... But wait.... in that blah blah blah one thing is "a LOT of manual and monotonous work" and we're going to discuss that…

Java is one of the most widely used programming languages. Despite origins dating back in 1995, it has consistently advanced over the years. One of the significant upgrades in Java after generics, was the introduction of lambda expression. Lambda expression is a function that can be passed around as if it was an object and invoked on demand. Lambda expressions combined with the Streams API allows programmers to write complex collection processing algorithms, focusing on…
