E ncryption and cryptography are 2 topics that are thought to be the same but I am about to tell you why they are not the same.                 Encryption: Encryption is the practice of concealing data or information in such a way that it appears random and can be accessed by authorized parties only.  Encryption is the main application of cryptography. Encryption is very important to modern data security, mainly digital signatures and to protect sensitive electronic data e.g emails and passwords. It is also basically uses algorithm to encrypt the data and a secret key to decrypt.                         Cryptography: c ryptography is the practice of securing information by transforming it into a secured format for transmission across insecure networks. It is the art of creating codes using the techniques of encryption and decryption. Its is widely used in electronic commerce, military communications, and chip-based card payments,  digital currencies e.g cryptocurrency.  It provides met

Today I will be talking about a very big misunderstanding among people which is: The difference between coding and programming these two are taught to be synonymous/similar, well am here to clarify that and fully explain what they are. CODING VS PROGRAMMING Coding and programming are often thought to be the same but they are not, Coding is the process of translating and writing codes from one language to another, whereas Programming is the process of building an executable program that can be used to carry out proper machine level outputs. Coding only deals with the codes, and so it is less intimidating and less intensive. WHERE DOES CODING COME IN? So coding is just part of the process of programming but it's not programming itself, so you can say coding is like pathway you must learn in order to learn programming, because in order to create programs writing codes is a step you must take, and you write these codes in a special language called Programming languages . So I hope t

LEARN TO CODE WITH PYTHON  In todays blog post I will be talking about how to learn to code(especially with python programming language), and I will point out the best way to learn to code according to my experience. 1 - Consistency/Code daily Consistency is very important when you are learning a new language. making a commitment to code every day is really helpful. It may be hard to believe, but muscle memory plays a large part in programming. Committing to coding everyday will really help develop that muscle memory. Though it may seem daunting at first, consider starting small with 25 minutes everyday and working your way up from there. 2 - Take Notes As you progress on your journey as a new programmer, you may wonder if you should be taking notes. Yes, you should! In fact, research suggests that taking notes by hand is most beneficial for long-term remembrance. Once you start working on small or big projects and programs, writing by hand can also help you plan your code before you m

Introduction To Python Python programming language which was released in the year 1991 by  Guido van Rossum  a Dutch Programmer from Haarlem, Netherlands . Guido van Rossum is one of the world's most influential programmers. Van Rossum is the author of the general-purpose programming language Python, which he started working on in 1989, and is now among the most popular languages in use. Python is an interpreted high-level general-purpose programming language. Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant indentation Multi-paradigm: object-oriented,  procedural  ( imperative ), functional, structured, reflective Parent Company :  Python Software Foundation Advantages  Python programming language has some advantages and I will only mention few which are: Versatile Code Readability Beginner friendly. Problems But even though python is simple Powerful and used in many fields. It still has some downsides. Like: Very Slow - Python is not
