Introduction

\n

Redis's usage as both a temporary data store and even as a permanent data store is increasing today, as memory has started becoming much cheaper. Redis' quick memory-based CRUD operations allow database interactions to happen significantly faster than interactions with other databases that use drive-based storage. This blog is about three different methods to interact with your Redis data.

\n

This blog will require having access to a Redis instance. Guides can be found to set up a local Redis instance for Windows here and for UNIX based machines like Mac or other Linux distros, it can be found here. Alternatively, you can use a remote instance, but be aware that some of the commands in this blog may delete or modify the data.

\n

Redis Insight

\n

For users that do not like working with command-line interfaces, the first tool introduced in this blog is a GUI interface called RedisInsight. This can be found here. After filling in their download form and installing, running the application will start a server on the localhost, which you can access with a browser.

\n

After installing and running the application, you will add the connection information for your Redis instance. If running a local instance of Redis, the connection information in the image will typically suffice. If connecting to a remote instance, you might need to fill in some additional details for TLS, such as connection certificates.

\n

\n \n \n

\n

When connected to your Redis instance, the dashboard UI appears. Clicking the Browser sidebar tab will display all existing keys in your database.

\n

\n \n \n

\n

From here, CRUD operations are relatively straightforward. Key-value pair creation can be done by using the ADD KEY button. This will prompt for the type of key-value pair to be added (Hash, String, JSON, etc.) and the data that will be stored with the key.

\n

If a specific key is required to be queried, fill in the field next to the blue filter icon with search criteria, then click the icon. It will prompt the type of data stored with the key, and the results will be displayed.

\n

\n \n \n

\n

Finally, keys can be deleted by clicking the trash can icon on the right side.

\n

Redis CLI

\n

The Redis command-line interface is a more common approach for developers to interact with data from a Redis store. If you followed the steps at the beginning of the blog, the CLI should already be installed. To do a ping test to the server, type the following command in the terminal:

\n
chris@LR-ENG-17:~$ redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379 ping\nPONG
\n

And to connect, run the previous command without pinging:

\n
chris@LR-ENG-17:~$ redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379\nlocalhost:6379>
\n

The basic command to get a key-value pair is to call get with the key:

\n
localhost:6379> get key:1\n"value1"
\n

Setting a value can be done with the set command:

\n
localhost:6379> set key:1 value1new\nOK\nlocalhost:6379> get key:1\n"value1new"
\n

Creating a value can also be done in the same way:

\n
localhost:6379> get key:3\n(nil)\nlocalhost:6379> set key:3 value3new\nOK\nlocalhost:6379> get key:3\n"value3new"
\n

And deletion can be done with the del command:

\n
localhost:6379> del key:3\n(integer) 1\nlocalhost:6379> get key:3\n(nil)\nlocalhost:6379>
\n

This is only the simple basics of the Redis CLI. You can do more advanced operations through the CLI, such as the flushall command, which wipes your database. It’s a powerful tool, so be careful when experimenting with it. An extensive list of commands can be found here.

\n

With Your Chosen Programming Language

\n

With Redis’ widespread usage, almost all major industry programming languages have either community or official supported releases of libraries that can be used to interact with your database. In this section, I will be using Node.JS, and one of the support Redis libraries called node-redis.

\n

Initialization of the package in the code can be done by calling the following command after initializing Node in your directory:

\n
npm install redis
\n

When the process is finished, the redis module should be imported within your code, where you can set up the Redis connection and any options that need to be included:

\n
const redis = require("redis")\n\nconst redisOption = {\n  host: "127.0.0.1",\n  port: "6379",\n}\n\nconst client = redis.createClient()
\n

For an extensive list of options supported by the library for connection, check this link.

\n

After connecting, calling the on method on the client will allow the connection to open and run commands.

\n

The commands used by the library are a 1 to 1 mapping of the commands used by the Redis CLI, so they follow the same method calls. To update or create an entry in Redis, the most basic method is to use the set command:

\n
client.set("key:3", "value3new")
\n

Getting a value can be done with the get method:

\n
client.get("key:3")
\n

Deleting a value can be done with the del method:

\n
client.del("key:3")
\n

The methods used by the client also support callbacks. For example, if the operations should be console logged, we can include a callback to redis.print after each method:

\n
client.set("key:3", "value3new", redis.print)\nclient.get("key:3", redis.print)\nclient.del("key:3", redis.print)
\n

The output of this in the console would be:

\n
Reply: OK\nReply: value3new\nReply: 1
\n

Conclusion

\n

This blog has only touched the surface of the different operations Redis can do. There are many more resources online that can help you go further into your understanding of Redis. Whether using Redis as a temporary store, like a cache, or using it as a primary, permanent store, the operations' speed is something to be acknowledged and considered when building your next big app.

Have you ever wondered how our universe is stitched together? Or how matter behaves at the atomic and subatomic levels? Do you know-how is a quantum computer different from a supercomputer, or what are the functions that it can perform which a typical computer can't?

\n

Or, have you ever thought of the amplification of photon particles in a laser beam? Our universe is full of occurrences that are hard to explain. However, the answer to all these questions lies in understanding the fundamentals of nature. For that, let us take a look at Quantum mechanics, which explains the functioning of particles together at the smallest level. Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics which is mainly concerned with the behaviour and nature of matter and energy and atomic and subatomic levels.

\n

With huge advancements in this field, the concept of quantum computers and quantum internet has now come to life. Typical computers are based on binary digits, that is, 0 and 1. Quantum computers, on the other hand, are based on qubits. A qubit or quantum bit is the basic unit for quantum information. They are based on particle's physical properties, such as the spin of an electron, and hence differ in various ways. We know that electron spin can either up or down, but things change when it comes to quantum mechanics. It follows the concept of superposition, according to which an electron can exist in a state in which it has a spin in both directions simultaneously. This may sound strange according to what we observe generally, yet this is how Quantum mechanics work.

import logging\nfrom telegram.ext import Updater, Filters, CommandHandler, MessageHandler
\n
logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s',     #take time,level,name\n                    level=logging.INFO)\nlogger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
\n

This script does a basic configuration for the logging system. It takes time, level, and name.

\n\n
TOKEN = "ENTER YOUR TOKEN"
\n\n
def start(bot,update):\n    name  = update.message.from_user.first_name  #first name of the user messaging\n    reply = "Hi!! {}".format(name)\n    bot.send_message(chat_id = update.message.chat_id, text = reply)      #sending message\n\ndef help(bot,update):\n    reply = "How can I help You"\n    bot.send_message(chat_id = update.message.chat_id, text = reply)  #sending message\n\ndef echo_text(bot,update):\n    reply = update.message.text\n    bot.send_message(chat_id = update.message.chat_id, text = reply)\n\ndef sticker(bot,update):\n    reply = update.message.sticker.file_id\n    bot.send_sticker(chat_id = update.message.chat_id, sticker = reply)\n\ndef error(bot,update):\n    logger.error("Shit!! Update {} caused error {}".format(update,update.error))
\n

start function would be taking the user's input and would be sending, Hi, with the user's name.

\n

help function will prompt the message of how can I help you.

\n

echo_text and sticker function will send the same message or the stickers which the user has sent.

\n

error function would be printing the error message on the command prompt.

\n\n
def main():\n    updater = Updater(TOKEN)  #take the updates\n    dp = updater.dispatcher   #handle the updates\n\n    dp.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start))\n    dp.add_handler(CommandHandler("help", help))\n    dp.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.text, echo_text))   #if the user sends text\n    dp.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.sticker, sticker))  #if the user sends sticker\n    dp.add_error_handler(error)\n    updater.start_polling()\n    logger.info("Started...")\n    updater.idle()\n\nif __name__=="__main__":\n    main()

\n

Save the program and execute it to check the working of the telegram bot on telegram.

\n
\n

You can get the source code to make the Telegram bot from this Github Repository Bot :robot:. You can also make some changes to the code to make the bot do cool stuff such as Getting News, Articles, or Movies recommendations.

Apple's smartphone OS running on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch hardware is iOS. For these computers, Apple offers tools and services for developing iOS apps and accessories.

\n

You can use React Native (JavaScript) or Xamarin (C# & F#) as an iOS developer to programme in native languages like Swift or Objective-C or build native cross-platform applications.

\n

In this article, we'll explore how to build iOS apps. We're going to look at how you can learn to develop an iOS application and play with existing apps.

\n

As with learning something new, learning to build iOS is difficult. Although, It is enjoyable, exciting, and satisfying!

\n

Here's what we'll get into:

\n
    \n
  1. Setup your MAC for ios app development
    2. \n
  2. Setup, your editor for ios application
    3. \n
  3. Create your first ios app
    4. \n
  4. Run the ios application
    5. \n
\n

You will have a step-by-step plan to learn how to create an ios app when you have completed reading this guide. You know precisely what you should do, what steps you should take, and how you should take them. Yeah, and you don't need any coding experience to get started.

\n

So let's get started...

\n

1. Setup your MAC for ios app development

\n

Apple prefers a closed ecosystem over an open system. iOS can only be run on Apple's own devices, including the iPhone and iPad.

\n

We can run Mac on window machines using VMWare or Hackintosh, but these are not recommended for iOS coding purposes.\nSo basically, as an iOS developer, you will need a Mac for the development/debugging/testing of an iOS app.

\n

2. Setup, your editor for ios application

\n

To start developing iOS apps, Xcode is the only tool you need to download. Xcode is an integrated development environment (IDE) provided by Apple. It includes the iOS SDK (Software Development Kit), a source code editor(UI), debugging tools, and much more.

\n

Many helping tools and needed simulators with a particular iOS version can be installed and added to Xcode.\nYou will need to have an Apple ID to download Xcode, deploy your app to a real iPhone/iPad for testing, and download any other software from AppStore.

\n

Apple ID is used to authenticate a user in Apple devices. You may create it by visiting the apple official site.

\n

To install Xcode, go to the Mac App Store. App Store can be found in the dock. Login there with your Apple ID. In the Mac App Store, search \"Xcode\" and click the \"Get\" button to download it.

\n

\n \n \n

\n

3. Create your first ios app

\n

Now click and launch Xcode. Choose create a new Xcode project option to make a new project. Then choose the Single View App option as a type of the project and click Next. It will come with one view controller and a storyboard that you can customize further.

\n

Let's name your project as HelloWorld as per the convention 😉. Choose Team None for now. Select Swift as Language, click Next, and you are ready with your empty app doing nothing yet.

\n
\n

Note: For creating a native iOS app, you have to use one from Objective-c or Swift. Swift is a new and easy language provided by Apple, got so much popularity in less time.

\n
\n

\n \n \n

\n

Not to worry, you will soon modify your created app saying Hello to the World. 😍\nIn Xcode, you can navigate to a file or folder from the code editor's left panel. The right panel of the code editor, called Utility Area, will help you dealing with views or any component in the storyboard.

\n

On the top toolbar, you can see the Run and Stop buttons. At the bottom of the code area, you can see the debug/console area with breakpoint and other runtime tools.

\n

\n \n

\n \n \n

\n

Feeling excited? 😃

\n

Here you go with your first-ever app on screen

\n

4. Run the ios application

\n

Select the device destination or simulator from the Xcode screen's top left near the Run/Stop button. And press Command ⌘ + R to run the app or click the run button. It will initiate the iOS simulator and run your first app.

\n

For running the app on a real device, connect the device via cable to Mac. The device will automatically be shown in the list of device destinations. Now select the device and press Command ⌘ + R.

\n

\n \n \n

\n

Share your first app with your parents and friends, and feel proud. 👏

\n

\n \n \n

\n
\n

Note: If you want to debug or run any existing app/demo instead of developing your own. For example, You might have some projects downloaded from Github on your local system. Now follow the instructions from project's Github to explore the project.\nOpen the project in Xcode and run in a simulator or real device by following step 4 described above.

\n
\n

That's it.

\n

Conclusion

\n

It's incredibly entertaining and satisfying to create your app idea. It's not just the result that counts-what makes it worth it is the gradual progress of improving, learning, and refining. And in the process, you will cultivate a special, employable skill of iOS development.

\n

We'll talk about Apache Beam in this guide and discuss its fundamental concepts. We will begin by showing the features and advantages of using Apache Beam, and then we will cover basic concepts and terminologies.

\n

Ever since the concept of big data got introduced to the programming world, a lot of different technologies, frameworks have emerged. The processing of data can be categorized into two different paradigms. One is Batch Processing, and the other is Stream Processing.

\n

Different technologies came into existence for different paradigms, solving various big data world problems, for, e.g., Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Apache Storm, etc.

\n

As a developer or a business, it's always challenging to maintain different tech stacks and technologies. Hence, Apache Beam to the rescue!

\n

\n \n

Let's take a sample input. Name the file as input.json

\n
{"name":"abhi", "score":12}\n{"name":"virat", "score":23}\n{"name":"dhoni", "score":45}\n{"name":"rahul", "score": 156}\n{"name": "Edmund"}\n{"name": "Ojha"}
\n

The input should be a newline delimited JSON.

\n

Include the following dependencies in your pom.xml

\n
<dependency>\n    <groupId>org.apache.beam</groupId>\n    <artifactId>beam-sdks-java-core</artifactId>\n    <version>2.24.0</version>\n</dependency>\n\n<dependency>\n    <groupId>org.apache.beam</groupId>\n    <artifactId>beam-runners-direct-java</artifactId>\n    <version>2.24.0</version>\n</dependency>
\n

Let's code the beam pipeline. Follow the steps

\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Create a pipeline.

    \n
    Pipeline pipeLine = Pipeline.create();\n// OR \n// Pipeline pipeLine = Pipeline.create(options);
    \n

    Create a pipeline which binds all the pcollections and transforms. Optionally you can pass the PipelineOptions options if needed.

    \n
    2. \n
  2. \n

    Read the input file

    \n
    PCollection<String> inputCollection = pipeLine.apply("Read My File", TextIO.read().from("input.json"));
    \n

    Use the TextIO transform to read the input files. Every line is a different json record.

    \n
    3. \n
  3. \n

    Apply a transform to filter out the names starting from a vowel

    \n
    PCollection filteredCollection = inputCollection.apply("Filter names starting with vowels", Filter.by(new SerializableFunction<String, Boolean>() {\n\n        public Boolean apply(String input) {\n            ObjectMapper jacksonObjMapper = new ObjectMapper();\n            try {\n                JsonNode jsonNode = jacksonObjMapper.readTree(input);\n                String name = jsonNode.get("name").textValue();\n                return vowels.contains(name.substring(0,1).toLowerCase());\n            } catch (JsonProcessingException e) {\n                e.printStackTrace();\n            }\n            return false;\n        }\n    }))
    \n

    The filter transform takes a SerializableFunction Object where the apply method is overridden. Every json-string record is converted to a JSON. The first character of the name is checked if it's a vowel. The transform is applied to each input JSON record. Based on the boolean value returned, the record is retained or discarded.

    \n
    4. \n
  4. \n

    Write the results to a file

    \n
    inputCollection.apply("write to file", TextIO.write().to("result").withSuffix(".txt").withoutSharding());
    \n

    The results of the Filter transform are stored in a text file using the write method of the TextIO transform. As PCollections are distributed across machines, the results are written to multiple files/shards. To avoid this, we use withoutSharding where all the output is written to a single file.

    \n
    5. \n
\n

Output:

\n
{"name": "Edmund"}\n{"name": "Ojha"}\n{"name":"abhi", "score":12}
\n
\n

Complete Code:

\n
Pipeline pipeLine = Pipeline.create();\n\nfinal Set<String> vowels = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList("a","e","i","o","u"));\n\npipeLine.apply("Read My File",\n                TextIO.read().from("input.json"))\n        .apply("Filter names starting with vowels", Filter.by(new SerializableFunction<String, Boolean>() {\n\n            public Boolean apply(String input) {\n                ObjectMapper jacksonObjMapper = new ObjectMapper();\n                try {\n                    JsonNode jsonNode = jacksonObjMapper.readTree(input);\n                    String name = jsonNode.get("name").textValue();\n                    return vowels.contains(name.substring(0,1).toLowerCase());\n                } catch (JsonProcessingException e) {\n                    e.printStackTrace();\n                }\n                return false;\n            }\n        }))\n        .apply("write to file", TextIO.write().to("result").withSuffix(".txt").withoutSharding());\n\npipeLine.run().waitUntilFinish();

In this article, we'll talk about the basic concept of virtual environment in python - what it is and how to use it and also how to build and manage separate environments for your Python projects using virtual environments.

\n

What is a virtual environment?

\n

A virtual environment is simply a tool that separates the dependencies of different projects by creating a separate isolated environment for each project.

\n

These are simply the directories so that unlimited virtual environments can be created. This is one of the popular tools used by most of the Python developers.

\n

Why do we need a virtual environment?

\n

Python has various modules and packages for different applications. During our project, it may require a third-party library, which we install. Another project also uses the same directory for retrieval and storage but doesn't require any other third-party packages.

\n

So, the virtual environment can come into play and make a separate isolated environment for both projects, and each project can store and retrieve packages from their specific environment.

\n

Also, let us consider another case where we are creating a web application using Django. Suppose you are working on two projects project1 and project2.

\n

If project1 uses Django-2.2 and project2 uses Django-3.2, they would be stored in the same directory with the same name, and the error may occur. Then, in such cases, virtual environments can be really helpful for you to maintain the dependencies of both the projects.

\n

How does a virtual environment work?

\n

To create a virtual environment, we need a module named virtualenv. It creates a folder with all the necessary executables to run Python projects. Make sure pip is installed on your computer. If not, then use the following command:

\n

\n \n \"Check\"\n

\n

Create a virtual environment:

\n

After successful installation of virtualenv, now you can create a virtual environment with your desired name using following command:

\n

\n \n \"Check\"\n

\n

Here, I created venv as the name of my virtual environment. You can name it whatever you desire. The folder with the name venv is created that contains all the necessary executables to run the Python project. This is the folder where all your python packages will run.

\n

To specify the Python interpreter of your choice, you can do it easily by specifying Python{version-name}.\nEg: To create python2.7 virtual environment, we use following command:

\n

\n \n \"Version\"\n

\n

After successfully creating the virtual environment, you need to activate it to enter into that particular isolated environment. Always remember to activate the required virtual environment before working on the project. To activate it, we move to the location where the name of your desired virtual environment is located and follow the command below:

\n

\n \n \"Windows\"\n

\n

After activating the virtual environment, you can see your name on the virtual environment on the terminal's left side. It confirms the activation of your virtual environment and is currently active.

\n

\n \n \"Activated\"\n

\n

Finally, you successfully created and activated your virtual environment. Now, you can install the dependencies and requirements your project asks for without interfering with other projects.

\n

Once you completed your work, then you can return to the system default environment by just using the deactivate command as shown below:

\n\n \n \"Deactivate\"\n \n","frontmatter":{"date":"October 16, 2020","updated_date":null,"description":"We'll cover the basics of virtual environments in this guide and how to use them.

Identity is evolving, and developers are at the forefront of this transformation. Every day brings a new learning—adapting to new standards and refining approaches to building secure, seamless experiences.

\n

We’re here to support developers on that journey. We know how important simplicity, efficiency, and well-structured documentation are when working with identity and access management solutions. That’s why we’ve redesigned the LoginRadius website—to be faster, more intuitive, and developer-first in every way.

\n

The goal? Having them spend less time searching and more time building.

\n

What’s New and Improved on the LoginRadius Website?

\n

LoginRadius’ vision is to give developers a product that simplifies identity management so they can focus on building, deploying, and scaling their applications. To enhance this experience, we’ve spent the last few months redesigning our interface— making navigation more intuitive and reassuring that essential resources are easily accessible.

\n

Here’s a closer look at what’s new and why it’s important:

\n

A Developer-Friendly Dark Theme

\n

\"This

\n

Developers spend long hours working in dark-themed IDEs and terminals, so we’ve designed the LoginRadius experience to be developer-friendly and align with that preference.

\n

The new dark mode reduces eye strain, enhances readability, and provides a seamless transition between a coding environment and our platform. Our new design features a clean, modern aesthetic with a consistent color scheme and Barlow typography, ensuring better readability. High-quality graphics and icons are thoughtfully placed to enhance the content without adding visual clutter.

\n

So, whether you’re navigating our API docs or configuring authentication into your system, our improved interface will make those extended development hours more comfortable and efficient.

\n

Clear Categorization for LoginRadius Capabilities

\n

\"This

\n

We’ve restructured our website to provide a straightforward breakdown of our customer identity and access management platform capabilities, helping you quickly find what you need:

\n\n

This structured layout ensures you can quickly understand each capability and how it integrates into your identity ecosystem.

\n

Developer-First Navigation

\n

\"This

\n

We’ve been analyzing developer workflows to identify how you access key resources. That’s why we redesigned our navigation with one goal in mind: to reduce clicks and make essential resources readily available.

\n

The new LoginRadius structure puts APIs, SDKs, and integration guides right at the menu bar under the Developers dropdown so you can get started faster. Our Products, Solutions, and Customer Services are also clearly categorized, helping development teams quickly find the right tools and make informed decisions.

\n

Quick Understanding of Integration Benefits
