The Best Programming Languages

Five of the Best Programming Languages and Frameworks for a Small Business

Choosing a programming framework for a small business can be overwhelming- there are so many. Here are a few of the best choices, to help you get started.

Ask a room of ten developers which programming framework is the ‘best on the market,’ and you’re liable to receive ten different answers. Each developer will sing the praises of a different language, and each one will very probably feel that theirs is the only logical choice. The most confusing thing, though? Each and every one of those developers will be correct.

Excel and Python? Yes: xlwings

Leave a comment

Some of us in academic worlds still stick with Excel when visualizing data. I don’t blame them. In my first year of PhD student, I had used Excel for some of my presentations. Why? Because I use Windows, because it’s quick, and because it’s a good companion with Powerpoint and Word. Even now in my life of a researcher, sometimes explaining something to someone by datamining using Excel is a quick way: the learning curve for excel plotting is simple: click drag, choose and voilà.

Cập nhật theme – RESTLESS

Leave a comment

Theme cũ không tạo cảm giác viết lắm (mặc dù theme là Author, chuyên dành cho mấy chuyên gia viết sách) nên Risu đổi lại theme màu cà phê này để đổi mới không khí, có thể để viết nhiều hơn, có thể để vui chơi nhiều hơn, hoặc có khi “ngủ đông” nhiều hơn.
Theme mới tên là Restless.
Cùng với việc đổi theme thì từ giờ cũng tập trung về viết chứ không review sách và vẽ nữa, vì không có hiệu quả và hứng thú lắm.

See ya soon

Hand Lettering là gì?

Leave a comment

Viết chữ đẹp là một trong những thú vui / kĩ năng vừa thú vị vừa quan trọng trong cuộc sống. Bên cạnh tính giải trí, viết chữ cũng là một cách thư giãn không quá tốn kém: bạn chỉ cần bút, gôm và giấy, kết hợp thêm trí tưởng tượng nữa là đủ.
Loại hình nghệ thuật xuất phát từ việc viết chữ có nhiều, có thể là Calligraphy (chỉ thuần viết chữ), Typography (nghệ thuật sắp xếp kí tự) hay nếu bạn thích cả vẽ nữa thì kết hợp với viết chữ nó sẽ là Hand Lettering. Continue reading Hand Lettering là gì? →

You’re not really free in this busy life, but there’s certain moment you don’t want to work and want to replace them (your heavy works!) with something fun. Here are they:

  1. Drawing/doodling:
    Drawing is making your right brain work. In that way, this act will boost your creativity and imagination, things would be lacking during your working time. Also, what you achieve at the end (a cute cat, for example) can be used for decoration purpose. Two birds one stone. Continue reading Things to do in your free time →

Available Python tools for researchers

Leave a comment

When I first start my research life, I began with Python, and I never go back. Python is powerful, simple, rich and widely supported.

In my researches, I met several problems, and I built the solution, but a lot of them are already prepared in Python.

  1. Plotting – matplotlib:
    I often use Matlab to plot my diagrams, but matplotlib is so powerful and produces nice plots. There are lots of examples that you will be able to master this package in no time. Continue reading Available Python tools for researchers →

Don’t stop writing

Leave a comment

Can’t believe I stopped writing for a while.

As a researcher and a curious person, I always want to learn something new and something that is innovative. That is to say, in my free time, I tend to find new courses, learning new techniques that I didn’t know before, and dunk myself into them. That sounds good at the beginning, when new things in life give you the excitement of exploring something fresh, let you have feeling that you’ve never experienced before.

So, what have I done in the last 4 years of academic world?

Tuổi học trò

Cái tuổi mộng mơ đó…

Tuổi học trò bao giờ cũng thiệt là dễ thương, tuổi của những trò ngu dại, của những thơ ngây, của những ngông cuồng, của những lãng mạn chớm nở, của những kỷ niệm trong veo hay cả những lần suýt chết; và nếu được cơ hội làm lại, ai cũng sẽ muốn sống lại khoảng thời gian kì diệu đó thêm một lần nữa trong đời.
