Top 5 Good Habits For PHP Programming
Tags: php, phpdevelopment, phpmobiledevelopment, phpappdevelopment
Published: 2020-04-17 14:11:24

PHP, one of the best languages to build websites and web applications has been widely used across the world since quite a long time. However, with time, the language is getting advanced and you must make the most out of it for the quicker and better development. 

Although, in the early days, PHP was limited to procedural code, the programmers need to use object oriented characteristics into the PHP code. 

If you are not keeping OO principles in mind while building the applications, here you will get some of the best programming habits which will help you bridge the gap between procedural programming and OO programming.

__PHP Development Company__

Here are some of the good habits for better PHP programming that every developer needs to follow.

1. __Be a good neighbor:__ One of the good programming habits is to package all the classes in such a format that it can be understood easily by caller and class should also be able to handle errors properly. 

Moreover, in the state of null, it is always a wise idea to return the object. So, if you don’t want to waste your time, you must throw specific exceptions and verify arguments, so as to prove that the supplied arguments are invalid.

2. __Embrace the weakest links:__ Loosely coupled modules will help you to encapsulate change. So, make sure you work towards coupling your modules loosely, as this habit will help you to lower the class dependencies. 

So, loose coupling between objects is one of the best PHP programming habits.

3. __Stick to the family:__ When it comes to OO language, one of the worst programming habits is the copy paste operations. Nothing can create more chaos than copying code from one file to another. 

So, whenever you feel like copying the code, you must think about class hierarchies to get similar functionality. In short, it is not a good idea to copy code; you should always leverage inheritance.

4. __Avoid the medusa:__ The programmers who are new to PHP certainly are not aware of the importance of interfaces. However, the experienced professionals know how important it is to use interface. 

According to Greek Mythology, the one who looked into the eyes of medusa (Greek Goddess with snakes for hair) directly would turn into stone. So, not using interfaces will be like looking into the eyes of medusa.

5. __Be modest:__ When you are asked to be modest, it means you should hide your implementation information and not expose in functions and classes implementation. 

This will also know as encapsulation. Shortly, exposing public fields is bad habit and using public assessors is good one.

Now that you are aware of some of the good habits for PHP programming, you must share these with the professionals working in the PHP development company that you hire, so that even they get to know about it and ask them to put these into practice, so as to develop PHP web applications quickly and easily. 

This will ultimately benefit you, as PHP developer will build the best possible website or app for your business.
LHS and RHS references in Javascript? Think like a compiler!
Tags: javascript, webdev, codenewbie, tutorial
Published: 2020-04-17 14:05:21

### The Preface
Before getting into the references, do you know whether Javascript is a compiled language or an interpreted language? Well, it follows what we call a JIT (Just in Time) compilation wherein just before execution, the code is compiled into bytecode. 

If you do not have an idea about this, check out this video:
{% youtube KM9coMpy5sQ %}

### The concept
Now, coming to the concept. Take this code snippet below as an example:
![Alt Text](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/19tks6xg7tpl4hmmzpek.png)

We can see that the variable **a** appears thrice. But, there is a difference in the way that the compiler looks at this code. The first 2 instances where we can see **a** are LHS references and the last one inside of console.log is an RHS reference. But what's different you ask?

#### Explanation
- An *LHS reference* is the one wherein the compiler tries to access the **container**, or to be more specific, the **address** that is represented by the variable. 
- An *RHS reference* is the one where the compiler tries to find the **value** that is held by the variable. 

They are called *LHS* and *RHS* because of the sides of the assignment operator they appear on, *usually*. 

Now, looking at the example we can see how that makes sense. In the first line, 
```
function foo(a) {
```
inside the function definition, the compiler first creates a variable *a*(implicitly) that is scoped to the function. Right after, an LHS reference for *a* happens (finding the container) and then the value, 2 is populated inside. 

In the next line, again, 
```
let a = 10;
```
another **LHS reference** has to be made and in order to get the *container* and the value stored in that container is changed to 10.

And in the last line,
```
console.log( a );
```
This time around, an **RHS** reference is required to fetch the *value* that is presently stored in the variable in order to log it. 

And that's how all that works out. Next time around, try to think all the Javascript code that you come across in terms of references and you will actually strengthen your knowledge of how the compiler functions. 

Cheers!

Algorithms Day 1- Linear and Binary Search
Tags: algorithms, javascript, binarysearch, computerscience
Published: 2020-04-17 13:32:34

So Along with the 100daysofcode challenge, I started to practice algorithms and data structures. So this is my first post about it

##Linear Search

+ Linear Search is one of the common practices that we use almost every time to search inside an array.


+ Just loop through the Array and find the match simple. That's a linear search.


**Linear Search - Pseudocode**

+ Create a function that accepts an array and a value to be searched.

+ Loop through the array and check the condition if the current element of the iteration is equal to the value to be checked. If found return the index. Else return - 1

+ The code is mentioned below


{% gist https://gist.github.com/DashingDaniel/24f7d1a88d9ea6042d06cf13c6ec61cc %}


##Binary Search

+ It's faster compared with the linear search method. Rather than comparing and eliminating one by one we can eliminate half of the array elements in a single time

+ But it only works on sorted arrays. It takes two inputs a sorted array and the value to be searched.


**Binary Search - Pseudocode**

+ Create a function that accepts a sorted array and the value to be searched.

+ Create start pointer and ending pointer. When the start pointer is less than the ending pointer. Create a pointer between the two.

+ If the value in the middle is smaller in comparison move the start pointer over the middle pointer.

+ If it's smaller move the ending pointer down to the middle pointer

+ Return the index.

+ The code is mentioned below

Data Import and Export Tools for PostgreSQL
Published: 2020-04-17 06:59:26

Enjoy simple and seamless data migration and benefit from an easy way to fill your PostgreSQL databases with external source data.

A salient feature of the tool [PostgreSQL Import/Export](https://www.devart.com/dbforge/postgresql/studio/data-export-import.html), built into dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL, is that it supports file transfer between the most frequently used data formats (Text, MS Excel, XML, CSV, JSON, etc.) and allows saving templates for repetitive export and import jobs. With the tool, you can easily:

Migrate data from other servers
Customize import and export jobs
Save templates for recurring scenarios
Populate new tables with data

The PostgreSQL Import/Export functionality of dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL allows transferring data from PostgreSQL to any other DBMS as well as from any other DBMS to PostgreSQL using ODBC drivers.

I strongly recommend utilizing a high-performance and feature-rich Devart PostgreSQL ODBC Driver as it provides quicker and more stable access to PostgreSQL databases compared with standard ODBC drivers.

dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL has advanced built-in features for exporting and importing data for different cases and scenarios. The Data Import and Export functionality provided in the Studio significantly facilitates filling databases with data and [migrating Postgres data](https://www.devart.com/dbforge/postgresql/studio/postgresql-migration.html) between databases.

HTTP/2 vs HTTP/3

HTTP/3 is the new official version of the hypertext transfer protocol used to exchange binary information on the web. The most important HTTP/3 improvements come from QUIC, a new network layer protocol developed by Google in 2016.
&nbsp;


## What's the main difference with HTTP/2?

HTTP/3 implement a new layer protocol called QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connection). This supports a set of multiplexed connections over UDP and has been designed to provide TLS 1.3 by default by, reducing latency in both connection and data transport.

![TCP/TLS vs QUIC latency comparison](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/0jnuvxeqgre0sugbn7pb.png)
*Source: [How quick is QUIC? ](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7510788/)*

* **Connection establishment latency**
Definitely the main improvement! QUIC only needs a single handshake to 
establish a safe session.
Also, after the server and client established connections for the first 
time, a new handshake is no longer necessary.
* **Connection migration**
Very valuable feature! QUIC brings its own unique identifier for a connection, it allows you to transfer networks and keep the same connection UUID. For example it allows to go from LTE to WIFI without renegotiating the session.
* **Multiplexing without HOL blocking**
HOL(head-of-line) blocking is what happens when you request multiple objects, and a small object gets stuck because a preceding large object got delayed. By using multiple streams, lost packets carrying data for an individual stream only impact that specific stream. Therefore, QUIC does significantly decrease HOL blocking.
Also, allowing the developer to actually choose what are the most important requests, based on characteristics other than their size, it could be tremendously helpful in improving the overall user experience.

&nbsp;


## What's the problem with TCP?

TCP needs a handshake to establish a session between server and client, and TLS needs its own handshake to ensure that the session is secured. QUIC only needs a single handshake to establish a secure session. As simple as that, you get the connection establishment time cut in half.

![http2 vs http3](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/11eysceayfj7egt0uxmf.jpg)

## Is it possible to use HTTP/3 at this very moment?

At this time few sites are compatible with this new protocol and most browsers are not yet ready.

I'll explain why you should read Atomic Habits in this video.

{% youtube GIDE3PXDHzc %}

You don’t change careers by doing one amazing thing a single time (like running into Mark Zuckerberg in an elevator and convincing him to hire you). It happens by doing many small things over and over (like writing some code every day of the week). [_Atomic Habits_](https://bookshop.org/a/2969/9780735211292) is about how to keep the good small things going (and how to stop the bad ones).

If you want to learn more about the Polgar sisters I mentioned in the video, The Guardian has a great [article on them](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/nov/12/judit-polgar-everything-chess) and their mastery of chess. ♟

Buy your own copy of _[Atomic Habits](https://bookshop.org/a/2969/9780735211292)_.

Getting your habits straight is key, but it was also important for me to understand _why_ I was doing what I was doing. That tied everything together and kept me going when my brain was telling me, “Stop! This is too hard!” My [free Big Goal email course](https://raddevon.com/stick-with-web-development/) will help you find your “why.”
