Tags: sqlserver, dbforge, devart
Published: 2023-12-07 14:45:34

One of the basic SQL functions that practically all database management systems implement is the SQL COUNT function. It enables users to effectively count rows according to particular standards, from straightforward data record counting to more complex computations when used in conjunction with other SQL functions.
To better explain the COUNT function's importance and practical uses, we'll explore its intricacies and uses in SQL Server in this post.

Variables in C Programming
Tags: c, coding, programming, variable
Published: 2023-12-07 14:05:12

A variable is a name given to a memory location inside our computer where we can store data.

**Variable declaration**
`int age;`
In C programming, a variable declaration is a statement that informs the compiler about the name and type of a variable without allocating any memory for it. It essentially tells the compiler that a variable with a specific name and data type will be used in the program. Variable declarations are necessary before you can use a variable in your program.

**Variable Initialisation**
`age = 22`
Variable initialisation in C refers to the process of assigning an initial value to a variable when it is declared.

We can write variable declaration and initialisation in single line: `int age = 22;`

**Changing values in variable**
```
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
    int age = 25;
    printf("Age: %d", age);
    
    age = 31;
    printf("\nNew AGE: %d", age); 
    
    return 0;
}
```

- `%d` is format specifier. It is a special character sequence used in the printf and scanf functions (and related functions) to specify the type and format of the data that will be input or output. 

- `\n` is used for new line.

**Assigning one variable to another variable**
```
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
    
    int firstNumber = 33;
    printf("firstNumber = %d", firstNumber);
    
    int secondNumber = firstNumber;
    printf("\nsecondNumber = %d", secondNumber);
    
    return 0;
}
```

**Declaring two variable in a single line**
```
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
    
    int variable1, variable2=25;
    
    return 0;
}
```

**Variable naming convention**
- Use camel case variable like `myAge`, `firstName`, `lightSpeed`.
Cannot:
    - Create variable names with space in between. `int first number`
    - Start variable names with numbers. `int 1number`
    - Use keywords as variables. `int if`

How generative AI will affect developers' work
Tags: programming, ai, devops
Published: 2023-12-07 13:29:23

In this chapter, of the latest State of the Developer Nation (Q3 2023) we present our analysis from a snapshot of the data
collected to offer insight into how developers perceive the future of generative AI; specifically how it relates to their role as a developer. Here are the key insights:

• The vast majority of developers are quite optimistic about how generative AI will affect their work: 80% agree or strongly agree that generative AI will increase their potential and productivity.
• There’s also a considerable portion of the developer community (61%) who harbour some reservations, as they agree or strongly agree that generative AI raises many ethical concerns.
• C-level technical executives (CIOs and CTOs) and IT managers are the most likely to report that generative AI will render their job obsolete, whereas front-line programmers and architects are the least likely.
• 80% of developers with less than a year of coding experience report that generative AI will allow them to use tools that they previously could not. This drops to 60% among seasoned developers with more than 16 years of experience under their belt.

Serverspace added the ability to connect S3 to a CDN service
Tags: devops, development, webdev, tutorial
Published: 2023-12-07 12:55:30

We added the possibility of connecting S3 vendors and providers to the [CDN (Content Delivery Network) service](https://serverspace.us/services/cdn/). This integration realizes the possibility of reducing the cost of using the services of S3 providers by caching the content.

The [CDN service](https://serverspace.us/services/cdn/) was developed by specialists within the ITGLOBAL.COM group of companies. Servers deliver content through a geo-distributed network at a [few points of presence](https://serverspace.us/infrastructure/data-centers/): the USA, Canada, Europe, the CIS, and Turkey. The flexible connection of CDN to S3 providers allows transparency of access to information, restricts access, and realizes content delivery at maximum speed. It is more cost-effective to use a CDN to work with S3 because the cost of cached information is lower than the constantly consumed traffic from the S3 vendor.

> You can read more about what CDN is and how to connect to it [here](https://serverspace.us/services/cdn/).

Connecting to S3 allows you to save costs and not make the cost of using the service dependent on the region. Now development teams, DevOps teams, or site owners can reduce costs by over-utilizing static content bucketed for free in the CDN cache and reducing the cost of utilized traffic. Instead of consuming traffic between each member of the development team and the S3 provider, it is more profitable to use the CDN.


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/syitndtaux2pmoi42fri.png)

The CDN in the Serverspace control panel supports working with Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, and other S3 providers. Users can customize the connected buckets according to their needs. With the CDN's high degree of scalability and integration with most S3 vendors, users can easily handle traffic spikes and increased demand for content. This allows them to not worry about unplanned infrastructure expansion.

The CDN service enables users to reduce site response latency, increase content loading speeds, and improve SEO rankings. You can connect a site's domain to the service using zone delegation or using A and CNAME records, and separately, the content of S3 buckets.

_How do I connect S3 to CDN in the Serverspace control panel?_

1. Sign up in the [Serverspace](https://serverspace.us/) control panel.
2. Click the CDN tab and select the S3 connection method.
3. Enter your ISP's S3 endpoint.
4. specify the bucket(s) of your S3 storage that you want to connect to the CDN.
5. Enter the name of the S3 that will be displayed in the control panel and click Connect.

Detailed instructions on how to connect your S3 storage to the CDN can be found in the Serverspace control panel.

Serverspace continues to build out CDN functionality and adds new tools to manage and configure each component of the content delivery network.

Coding skills are only 10%
Published: 2023-12-07 12:32:36

As a beginner in software development, I used to believe that as I improved my coding skills, the tasks I wanted to accomplish would become easier. I envisioned finding a good job, opening a business, and witnessing money flowing into my pocket. However, some of these tasks have become mundane; activities like creating a button and changing the color, shape, and border can be monotonous. Engaging in repetitive tasks that don't present a challenge can diminish motivation and focus. It's challenging to feel like a winner when solving the same problem for the hundredth time.

The real challenge in programming is not the act of coding itself but maintaining motivation until you build the path for your objectives. Keeping your focus on significant goals is the true challenge, and consistency is the key to achieving anything worthwhile.

With WakaTime, I am trying to solve my consistency problem.
