How to install GIT and Atom editor

By Anonymous -





Installing Atom editor and GIT




Okay so now I'm in Windows and we're going to ahead and install the required tools for this course.

 The first thing is we're going to need a browser. And if you want to just stick with 
Internet Explorer you can, but I would highly suggest you get another browser. And for this course I highly recommend you get Google Chrome.

 Now I'm not going to go over how to install Google Chrome. I am going to assume that
 you know how to install it. 
I already have it pre-installed here on my machine.  

So the first thing we need to do is install the Atom editor, or whatever editor you want but
 I'll show you how to install Atom. And the way you install it is to download it from "atom.io", click Download. And once it's downloaded,you can go ahead and show it in folder and double click it and it's showing us that Atom is being installed. And once it gets installed,it shows the welcome screen, we'll go ahead and close that,we don't need that right now.  

Okay, so for now we can go ahead and close it. We'll close, exit. 





 Installing GIT :


And the next thing we need to do is install Git.So let's go to the browser and type in download git. And we could go to this very
 first website that shows up. And we'll click the latest download for
Windows, which it will go ahead and download for us.

 And we can actually just click it directly to start installing. And say, Yes, we want to continue. And we'll press next. Again next, and we'll go ahead and click add an additional icon on the desktop. We'll click next again. This will create an item in the start menu. We're okay with that. We'll press next and the safest option here is already chosen for us which is to use Git from the Windows Command Prompt.

 Let's go ahead and click next, and we'll keep the default that is giving us and we'll click Install. Once it's done, we don't want to see the View Release Notes.
We don't want that. We could just click finish. And then we could go to the bar here and start searching for cmd which stands for command prompt and we'll open that up. And now we'll want to make sure that Git got installed properly.

So we could say "git --version" and we'll press Enter.

 And you can see that we have Git installed 2.9.3, which is fine.

Introduction to Big Data and Hadoop

What is Big data? Data represents useful information. Over the past decade, data has been significantly increasing.  Generally we store data in traditional relational databases. This is by far the most efficient method to store and retrieve considering small amounts (generally in megabytes or gigabytes) of data.  But what if the data is huge? (By huge I mean really huge.ie, in terms of terabytes or petabytes or exabytes or even zetabytes of data). Such large amount of data is considered as big data. There is no specific meaning for Big Data. It can be defined in many ways. But, if we were to define what big data is, we can define it in the following way: “Big data is the data which cannot be processed on a single machine” So we need some way to store and process data in an efficient manner. This can be achieved using “Hadoop”. What is Hadoop? Hadoop is an open source software framework used for distributed storage and processing of big...

LocationManager vs GoogleApiClient

User Location on Android Getting the user’s location on Android is a little less straightforward than on iOS. To start the confusion, there are two totally different ways you can do it. The first is using Android APIs from  android.location.LocationListener , and the second is using Google Play Services APIs  com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener . Let’s go through both of them. 1.      Android’s Location API The Android’s location APIs use three different providers to get location - ·         LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER  — This provider determines location using satellites. Depending on conditions, this provider may take a while to return a location fix. ·         LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER  — This provider determines location based on availability of cell tower and WiFi access points. Results are r...
