What is Continuous Integration?

What is Continuous Integration ? Continuous integration, a part of software engineering practice is merging of all developer working copies with a shared mainline several times a day. Each check-in is then verified by an automated build, allowing teams to detect problems early. By integrating codes regularly, errors can be detected quickly and can be easily located. As a result, there is less back tracking to discover where things went wrong and fix. Continuous integration maintains a single source repository .  Developers check out code into their private  work spaces . Then it is integrated into the repository.  Continuous integration server monitors the repository and checks out changes when they occur.   Continuous integration server builds the system and runs unit and integration tests . Continuous integration server releases  deploy able  artefacts for testing Continuous integration server assigns a build label to the version of the code it ...

Database management system introduction

Database management system introduction Database is a collection of data or information. The real time example of databases is  telephone directory. It is used for storing information such as name, address, telephone number along with code numbers and providing access to information for multiple users.  Computer stores such data and provides easy access in a faster time. Computer databases are used in all kinds of organisation like business, hospitals and banking and what not. Technology advancements allow multiple users to allow data thereby making the information  centralized . Complex algebraic algorithm works together to access information easily and querying a database provides quick result. A database is a type of file system that stores data and  organizes  it in a useful and understandable structure.

Eye Tracking

Eye tracking has been actively discussed by technology enthusiasts throughout these years, but it’s really challenging to implement. But  Eye Tribe  actually did this. They successfully created the technology to allow you to control your tablet, play flight simulator, and even slice fruits in Fruit Ninja only with your eye movements. It’s basically taking the common eye-tracking technology and combining it with a front-facing camera plus some serious computer-vision algorithm, and voila, fruit slicing done with the eyes! A live demo was done in LeWeb this year and we may actually be able to see it in in action in mobile devices in 2013. Currently the company is still seeking partnership to bring this sci-fi tech into the consumer market but you and I know that this product is simply too awesome to fail.

Leap Motion

Multi-touch desktop is a (miserably) failed product due to the fact that hands could get very tired with prolonged use, but  Leap Motion  wants to challenge this dark area again with a more advanced idea . It lets you control the desktop with fingers, but without touching the screen. It’s not your typical motion sensor, as Leap Motion allows you to scroll the web page, zoom in the map and photos, sign documentss and even play a first person shooter game with only hand and finger movements. The smooth reaction is the most crucial key point here. More importantly, you can own this future with just $70, a price of a premium  PS3  game title! If this device could completely work with Oculus Rift to simulate a real-time gaming experience, gaming is going to get a major make-over.

3D Printing Technology

Image
Just as the term suggests,  3D printing  is the technology that could forge your digital design into a solid real-life product. It’s nothing new for the advanced mechanical industry, but a personal 3D printer is definitely a revolutionary idea . Everybody can create their own physical product based on their custom design, and no approval needed from any giant manufacturer! Even the James Bond’s Aston Martin which was crashed in the movie   was a 3D printed product! Form 1 Form 1  is one such personal 3D printer which can be yours at just $2799. It may sound like a high price but to have the luxury of getting producing your own prototypes, that’s a reaonable price. Imagine a future where every individual professional has the capability to mass produce their own creative physical products without limitation. This is the future where personal productivity and creativity are maximized.
