Data plays a crucial role in understanding the business trends. Many organizations generate and process huge volumes of data. This huge and complex data is referred to as "Big Data". Big data is of three types: structured data, semi structured data, and unstructured data. What is Structured Data? Structured data is generally stored in tables in the form of rows and columns. Structured data in these tables can form relations with another tables. Humans and machines can easily retrieve information from structured data. This data is meaningful and is used to develop data models. Structured data is used by ... Read More

When we surf the Internet, a two-way communication takes place between our web browser (client) and a web server (server). To regulate this communication, there are some protocols among which the most common one is the HTTP protocol, where the browser sends an HTTP request to the server and then the server returns an HTTP response to the browser.On the basis of the type of response sent to the browser, we can classify the webpages into two categories: Static webpage and Dynamic webpage.Read through this article to find out more static and dynamic webpages and how they are different from ...

Primarily, there are two types of data types − Primitive and Non-primitive. Primitive data types are predefined types of data, which are supported by the programming language. Non-primitive data types are not defined by the programming language, but are instead created by the programmer. With this brief introduction to data types, let's start this article and differentiate Stack and Queue data structures. Both Stack and Queue are types of data structures to store data in a particular order. A stack data structure is a type of linear list which allows the insertion or deletion of an element ...

There are various application programs that we can use to access the resources of a remote machine. Telnet and SSH are the primary client server application programs that use remote terminal service which allows a user at one site to interact with a remote timesharing system at another site as if the user’s keyboard and a display is connected directly to the remote machine. Telnet and SSH both are Layer7 application layer protocols and both use TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) at the transport layer. In this article, we will discuss the important differences between SSH and Telnet. But before going ... Read More

Multitasking plays an important role in the context of defining the performance of a computer. Multitasking decides how processes are divided and performed by the CPU between different inputoutput subsystems. In order to process multiple tasks most efficiently, computer systems use various methods to schedule the tasks, speed up calculations and improve Web browsing among which Spooling and buffering are the primary methods. In this article, we will discuss the major differences between spooling and buffering. But before going into the differences, let's have a basic overview of spooling and buffering so that it will become easier to understand how ... Read More

Static IP Address and Dynamic IP Address are both used to identify a computer on a network or on the Internet. Static IP address is provided by the Internet Service Provider and remains fixed till the system is connected to the network. Dynamic IP address is provided by the DHCP, generally a company gets a single static IP address and then generates the dynamic IP address for its computers within the organization's network. Read through this article to find out more about static and dynamic IP addresses and how they are different from each other. What is ... Read More

Both MAC Address and IP Address are used to identify a computer on a network or on the Internet. MAC address is provided by NIC Card's manufacturer and gives the physical address of a computer. IP address is provided by the Internet Service Provider and is called the logical address of a computer connected on a network.Read through this article to find out more about IP address and MAC address and how they are different from each other.What is an IP Address?Every unique instance linked to any computer communication network employing the TCP/IP communication protocols is given an IP address.When ...

Data Compression refers to a technique that allows a large file to be reduced to a smaller-size. It also allows decompressing the compressed file back into its original form.Lossy compression restores the large file to its original form with some level of loss in data which can be considered negligible, while lossless compression restores the compressed file to its original form without any loss of data.Read through this article to find out more about Lossy and Lossless compression techniques and how they are different from each other.What is Lossy Compression?Lossy compression is a type of data encoding and compression that ...

In the context of computer systems, a program or task in execution is called a process. In modern computers, several types of processes are used. The process of selecting one process from a bunch of processes and assigning it to the processor for execution is referred to as scheduling. The component of the system that accomplish this task is called a scheduler. There are two main types of schedulers, namely, Long−Term Scheduler and Short−Term Scheduler. In this article, we will discuss the important differences between long−term scheduler and short−term scheduler. But before that, let's start with some basics of long−term ... Read More

JSP and ASP are both server-side scripting languages. JSP is Java based and is developed by Sun Microsystems, whereas ASP is developed by Microsoft and is also referred as Classic ASP. Whenever a browser requests a JSP or ASP page, the server engine reads the file, executes the code in file and returns the HTML output to the browser.JSP is compiled, whereas ASP is interpreted. ASP.NET is a .NET based variant of ASP where the codes are compiled to improve the performance.What is ASP?ASP is a server-side scripting engine, which means the code that is written gets sent to the ...
