According to TIOBE index Scala stands at 34th position with 0.290% rating.However, it has wide and good applications built on it( The list though does not account for anything related to the quality of the languages listed..its just based on popularity).   I read about Scala and was amazed to find out its varied and robust applications,,which is used in many popular applications of today).   Some of the many are listed here:      1>Twitter. .this describes the best .   ....Also Twitter uses Scala very robustly(as I learnt from this blog  as of 2008). May be it has changed now.   2>LinkedIn.. this link describes the best .   3>Novell .. See this link   4>Foursquare... Know more from here .   ......Foursquare is said to be built almost 100% using Scala(See this Quora link ).   5>UBS..and HSBC bank.      Having said all these,,I will also like to add that Scala has two web frameworks dev...

Its easy.., but sometimes it is troublesome with the installation of lxml module of Django. Here is the simplified steps to do it: Step 1>Download easy installer from this link -(Ok!, if you have already),  the "setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.6.exe" file. or search-> easy installer for python. Step 2>Download lxml.egg from this link Step 3> To install,just type the following: easy_install lxml.egg(this should be at the command window at the directory where lxml.egg lies->you can open command window by holding the shift key and then clicking on the right mouse button and then choosing from the context menu). The easiest method: download lxml.exe from here and simply install it your way..!!

The python software pip is a replacement for *easy_install*  .One may say it as a wrapper for easy_install, and indeed it is. It is used mainly to provide installation for python packages. First method: Step 1>Download the last easy installer for Windows that fits your installed python version: (download the .exe at the bottom of http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools ). Install it. Step 2> Add c:\Python2x\Scripts to the Windows path (replace Python2x with the correct directory) Step 3> Open a new (!) DOS prompt. From there run easy_install pip For the 64 bit operating system refer to this link Second method: Step 1> Download the last pip version from here :        Step 2> Uncompress it Step 3> Download the last easy installer for Windows: (download the .exe at the part of   http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools ). You can install it directly. Step 4>G o to the uncompressed pip directory from the command prompt and typ...

  Well it may be absurd for someone who is not so used to with all the command line stuff that one has to undergo, but for the geeks, its the things that keeps using computing enjoyable and something Geekyy!!   Some people really do not know and may be perhaps do not care for the command line interface commands.   That's why I have wriiten this piece of information for all those who wanna keep the geeky thing up in themselves             1> To move to the next directory we use      cd:\Destination_folder 2> To move to long  destination you can also type:      cd:\folder1\folder2\......\folder-n 3> To get into a diferent folder at the same root level      eg: pics and movs at c:\de\film      and you are at        c:\de\film\mov  and you want to navigate to pics    then type:       cd../pics 4> To move ...

Django is one of the most commonly used frameworks for web development today. It can be used in multi functional large scale database driven web application. Though it was created mainly for the means of rapid development of web application, it has well proven on its account for reliability and scalability. So here I am going to share some of my experience during the set up process which many of us find awkward. Hope this simplified version makes it easy for you all. Download:                 Download Django from www.djangoproject.com(get the latest and fail not to check out          which version of python it supports)                 Download Python- and this should be the one supported by the version which you     downloaded         Installation:   >Install python in your  machine   >Extract ...

W e humans,are the weakest and I would also say the wicked form of species of this great planet... Filled with greed and everlasting hunger for selfish gains. One thing I would like to share of what I have experienced  conversely is that there is also plenty of love around. May be that's why we still have families around. Surely without love being inherited , we would not have known how to give it to others.  And that is why we know love and how to give love. Though people term it as emotion, it is love and its commonness amongst all of us that make us able to thrive together. Now, I had begun this post writing about greed and arguably decried the general conscience of our human mentality pointing towards greed. And yes this is true! we have love in all of us, yet greed seems to overtake our mindset as we continually try to adjust to the current economic scenario. Recessions, job losses, rising food prices and all that modern corporate fallouts have indeed succeeded ...

Assignment Operation ( Its totally fun programming! )                                            One more thing in python that fascinates us is its ability to hold the values of the variable even after assignment operation. Like say:               a=2         b=a This is bound to keep the values of both a,b intact without any change.  so doing things like:                                 print a,b                 gives #a=2,b=2 And!!             One more important thing to remember is sequential assignment: what I mean is assignment is sequential in its nature.  So if we have things like:   ...
