Techinfinity - Infinite Technology

The Fintech market has been growing worldwide, and the Asia Pacific region seems to be offering a solid ground for fintech startups to venture into the industry. The rise of multiple startups has disrupted the financial sector around the world, bringing about much-needed change and innovation. While China, Japan, and Singapore lead the way for these developments, the Philippines has not been far behind in recent years. Read More

Drastic Disruptions through Augmented and Virtual Reality

When AR and VR are integrated into the existing range of applications, rather than working on a single product, these technologies revolutionize the entire industry.

VR technology creates a virtual environment where users can interact using their mobile devices such as VR glasses. AR technology presents the virtual objects in the natural environment. For instance, VR glasses can be used to display information regarding something in the user’s field of vision.

Listed below are seven industries which are likely to be affected first by these two technologies: https://goo.gl/YvgmMs

Know these to get started with Python.

Python as a first language: a roadmap to getting started.

I personally prefer Java as a first language. Put non-technically, it is a lot less convenient, so you get a more realistic idea of how computers work. Nonetheless, Python is an amazing language (with convenience as one of it’s values) so it makes sense as a gentle introduction. It’s also a popular language for data science and machine learning, so it’s great to have experience with.

The 3 ingredients you need to get started:

The Python Language Interpreter: when you write some code in a text file and save it as a .py file, the Python interpreter is what turns that code into commands that your computer can then actually preform. This is necessary.

An Integrated Development Environment (IDE): An IDE is like a helpful text editor for programming. Some basic features include auto-complete, typo and mistake catching, and automatic text coloring to make some parts of your code easier to find. This is optional but highly recommended.

Some learning resources: We’re going to need something about programming basics, problem solving in computer science, using an API, learning how to use google and stackexchange, data types, control structures, and then maybe an object-oriented programming intro, and eventually all the neat advanced features of the python language. Then we need to learn how to use Numpy (for scientific computing), Pandas (for easy data storage), and Tensorflow (machine learning!). Add some handy cheat-sheets for python, numpy, pandas, and Tensorflow, and we’re good to go.

Other posts will adress download, installation, and resources.

A curriculum:

Like I said up above, we need to know how to do the following. Save this and make it a checklist.

Learn to use google to answer questions about installing or using python, any packages, or computer science.

This also includes getting to know how to search Stackexchange, the website for coding questions n’ stuff.

How to install python 3 and get set up

How to install an IDE like Eclipse (with PyDev), IDLE, or Notebook++.

Programming basics: how does python work? What does the language look like? How does tabbing work?

Understand basic logic, including AND, OR, XOR, NOR, NAND, XNOR, Implies, and If…Else statements.

Variables: what are they, how do I set one and change it?

Basic math in Python.

Data types: what kinds of variables can I have? How does my computer store data? How do I use those types of data? What are the key commands and operations I know how to do?

Control structures: if, else, elif, for loops, while loops, break, continue

Methods! What are they, how do I make one, what can I do with it?

The open() command, the all() command, other neat built-in methods

<function name>= lambda <your variables>: <single line method>

Problem solving in computer science: now do fizbuzz.

What’s a package?

Importing packages, installing packages you don’t have with PIP

Using an API: how do I find one and how do I read it?

object-oriented programming in Python: what’s a class, how do I make one, how do I reference and instantiate one, methods, class vars, etc

Error handling: how to do exceptions

All the neat advanced features of the python language: iterators, generators, list comprehensions, enumerate, range, assert, with…as, etc.

Read through the Numpy API (for scientific computing), data types, matrices, stats, methods, etc. A short detour through scikit would be helpful.

Read through Matplotlib.pyplot API, plotting, plotting options, histograms, scatterplots, etc.

Pandas (for easy data storage), data frames, series, built-in operations on columns and rows, loading from a CSV, saving as a csv, apply, etc

Tensorflow (machine learning!) For basic stuff, shoot for knowing how to use the estimator package, which is discussed elsewhere on this blog. Also get to know the nitty gritty, including tensors, layers, tensorboard, etc.

Connected cars are not too far away from being introduced. There will come a day where the people can simply sit in a car and drive off, instead of setting the temperature, seats, batteries, as everything would be automatic. 

The cars would be autonomous and make a steady approach to the destination the driver prefers. After reaching the destination, the car would park itself in the prearranged parking location, which includes a wireless inductive charger.

The cornerstone of a well-set finance function within the future is a coordinated approach across all the existing elements
