What is Ai and how does it work?

Salman Shaikh — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 11:32:39 +0000

Artificial intelligence is everywhere and it is already creating a huge impact on our lives. Have you ever taken into consideration how your virtual assistant in the form of Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant understands what you say and provides potential answers for your queries? And how our phones autocompleting texts for us. Youtube recommends videos to watch, games beating us at video games, A self-driving car, It’s all due to artificial intelligence. AI already has a quite big effect on all of our lives. So people, understandably, have a few polarized feelings about it. Some of us consider that AI will extrude the world in positive approaches, it could quit car accidents because we have self-driving cars, or it could give the aged great, personalized care. Others fear that AI will cause constant surveillance by Big Brother authorities. Some say that it will take all our jobs.

What is A.i (artificial intelligence)?

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence in its simplest form, refers to a simulation of human intelligence in machines that accomplish duties by mimicking human intelligence, using strategies of understanding, analyzing, and may iteratively enhance itself based on the data they collect.

How does A.I. Work?

Artificial intelligence is approximate’ computers that may learn complex tasks’ not about people pretending they’re smart. In reality, A.I. systems work by mimicking the way that neurons are connected in our own brains, creating ‘Artificial Neurons’, that aren’t individually that smart, however, that work together in big networks to carry out complicated tasks. In this way, it started thinking by itself without the assistance of humans and started combat with humans. For example, lately, google deep mind-developed alpha go ai world’s hardest game go’s grandmasters had been defeated by ai. How did this happen? Well, Alpha Go performed itself some thousands and thousands of times and have become an expert, and now? Now no human can defeat it. It has started writing articles, poems, and composing songs as well.

advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence?

Advantages:

• AI might have a low mistakes rate compared to people if coded properly. They might have incredible precision, accuracy, and speed.

• They won’t be affected by hostile environments, therefore able to complete risky tasks, explore in space, and endure issues that would injure or kill us. This can mean mining and digging fuels that would otherwise be hostile for humans.

• Replace humans in repetitive, tedious tasks and in lots of laborious places of work.

• Predict what a user will type, ask, search, and do. They can act as assistants.

• Can detect fraud in card-based systems, and possibly different systems in the future.

• Organized and managed records.

• They can think logically without emotions, making rational choices with fewer or no mistakes.

• Can assess people. This may be for medical purposes, such as health risks and emotional state.

• They do not need to sleep, rest, take breaks, or get entertained, as they do not lose interest or are tired.

Disadvantages:

• Can cost money and time to build, rebuild, and repair. A robotic repair can occur to lessen time and humans need to fix it, however, that’ll cost extra money and resources.

• It’s questionable: is it ethically and morally accurate to have androids, human-like robots, or recreate intelligence, a gift of nature that should not be recreated? This is a discussion about AI that’s popular nowadays.

• Storage is expansive, however, access and retrieval won’t cause connections in memory in addition to humans could.

• They can learn and get better with tasks if coded to, however it is questionable as to if this can ever turn out to be as good as humans can do such.

• can cause severe unemployment, except if people can fix the unemployment with jobs AI can not do or severely extrude the government to communism.

As seen partially with smartphones and other generations already, humans can become too dependent on AI and lose their mental capacities. Machines can easily cause destruction if put in the wrong hands. That is a fear of many humans.

The difference between Artificial intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning

We understand what Ai is machine learning is a technique to achieve Ai and deep learning in turn is a subset of machine learning provides a machine with the functionality to learn from data and experience thru algorithms deep learning does this learning thru ways inspired by the human brain this means through deep learning data and patterns may be better perceived.

Future of Artificial Intelligence

The future of artificial intelligence is more fascinating than ever. People have indulged in this debate for years now. Some say robots are the future and they may replicate humans completely. Another opinion is a human dependency on this sector will grow manifold. However, one thing is for sure, artificial intelligence is progressing faster than ever, and no one is aware of what might come next. Ray Kurzweil a famous futurist predicts that by the year 2045 we would have robots as smart as humans this is called the point of singularity well that’s not all in fact Elon Musk predicts that the human mind and body might be enhanced by ai implants which would make us partly cyborgs.

Conclusion

Artificial intelligence is not going to make human intelligence obsolete, however, it will make things less complicated for everyone involved from big businesses to a single consumer. Artificial intelligence hugely reduces the possibility of manual errors and leverages data on making the right decisions leaving no room for doubt or mistakes.

Adding Firebase Authentication to Your Web Application

Salman Shaikh — Sat, 21 Jan 2023 14:44:45 +0000

In the previous article of our Firebase for Web series, we looked at how to configure Firebase with a web app and add services like Analytics and Realtime Database. In this article, we will continue the series by covering another important topic from Firebase: Authentication with web apps. By the end of this article series, you will be a Firebaser (Firebase expert) and able to add robust authentication and authorization to your web applications.

Check out the previous article :

Firebase for Web: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

As we know user authentication and authorization is a crucial aspects of any web application.

Firebase Authentication is a service provided by Firebase that makes it easy for developers to add this functionality to their web applications.

With support for multiple authentication methods such as email and password, phone number, and social media providers like Google, Facebook, and Twitter,

Firebase Authentication is a versatile and powerful tool for web developers. In this article, we will be diving into how to use Firebase Authentication in your web application, including how to set it up and how to use its various features.

https://medium.com/media/fd137e21235dd7b88c1aff7c841529ae/href

Here’s a Step by Step Guide to adding email & password authentication in the web app

Enable the Authentication Service in Firebase Console

Initializing Firebase in a Web Application (check out the previous article or check Firebase docs)

var firebaseConfig = {
    apiKey: "your-api-key",
    authDomain: "your-project-id.firebaseapp.com",
    databaseURL: "https://your-project-id.firebaseio.com",
    projectId: "your-project-id",
    storageBucket: "your-project-id.appspot.com",
    messagingSenderId: "your-sender-id",
    appId: "your-app-id"
  };
  firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

2. Using the Firebase Authentication SDK in Web App

Add this to your Index.html file and create a form in to get the user email and password

Email:

Password:

Sign Up
Sign In
Sign Out

So we have created a webpage of our web app with a form including 2 input fields and 3 buttons to perform auth functions with the email password method with Javascript’s OnClick method

Enable Email/Password Method in console

3. Create an Auth.js and Initialize it in Index.html

  
   // To get the User Entered Values from the WebPage
  var emailInput = document.getElementById("email");
  var passwordInput = document.getElementById("password");

Now to Enable the Signup function will use the firebase’s function

createUserWithEmailAndPassword("your@email.com", "userpassword")

Now here’s the signup function to create a new user account

will use the firebase app-initialized variable with auth() function to call the create, sign in, and sign out the user from the web app

Add the following code in Auth.js for each function to call onClick

SignUp :

Create a new user with an email and password

 function signUp() {
    var email = emailInput.value;
    var password = passwordInput.value;
    firebase.auth().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
      .catch(function(error) {
        var errorCode = error.code;
        var errorMessage = error.message;
       console.log('Error: '+ errorMessage)

      });
  }

SignIn :

  function signIn() {
    var email = emailInput.value;
    var password = passwordInput.value;
    firebase.auth().signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
      .catch(function(error) {
       console.log('Error: '+ errorMessage)
      });
  }

Sign Out :

Sign out the current user

 function signOut() {
    firebase.auth().signOut().then(function() {
      // Sign-out successful.
    }).catch(function(error) {
      var errorCode = error.code;
      var errorMessage = error.message;
// Handle Errors here.
console.log('Error: '+ errorMessage)
    });
  }

Now we are done with all necessary functions so, now we can create, sign, and sign out of our web application

In order to enable the user to stay logged in even if the page is refreshed, you can use the onAuthStateChanged method to detect changes in the user's authentication state and update the UI accordingly.

Here's an example of how to use this method:

firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged(function(user) {
  if (user) {
    // User is signed in.
console.log('User Logged in with email ' +  user.email)
    document.getElementById("email").innerHTML = user.email;
    document.getElementById("sign-out").style.display = "block";
    document.getElementById("sign-in").style.display = "none";
    document.getElementById("sign-up").style.display = "none";
  } else {
    // User is signed out.
console.log('User Signed Out')
    document.getElementById("email").innerHTML = "";
    document.getElementById("sign-out").style.display = "none";
    document.getElementById("sign-in").style.display = "block";
    document.getElementById("sign-up").style.display = "block";
  }
});

after handeling the userAuth state

Check out the Github Repo Given below

GitHub - codersalman/firebase_auth

In conclusion : Firebase Authentication provides a flexible and secure solution for managing user accounts in your web app.

I hope this article has provided you with a solid foundation for working with Firebase Authentication in your web applications. Remember to test your implementation thoroughly, handle errors properly and don’t hesitate to refer to the Firebase Authentication documentation for more information and best practices.

Thank you for reading this article and I hope it has been helpful in your journey of web development with Firebase. I look forward to providing more insights and tips on Firebase in the future. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to reach out on coder88salman@gmail.com.

Firebase for Web: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Salman Shaikh — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 07:04:24 +0000

Hi, my name is Salman Shaikh and I am a Whole Stack 😀 Developer. In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to use Firebase in a web application. Firebase is a powerful platform that provides a variety of tools and services for building high-quality web and mobile apps. Whether you’re looking to add real-time functionality, user authentication, or analytics, Firebase has you covered.

Firebase is a mobile and web application development platform backed by Google. It provides developers with a variety of tools and services to help them build high-quality apps, grow their user base, and release & monitor.

One of the main features of Firebase is its real-time database, which allows developers to store and synchronize data across multiple devices in real-time. This makes it easy for developers to build collaborative and real-time features into their apps, such as chat and multiplayer games.

Another important feature of Firebase is its authentication system, which allows developers to easily add user authentication and management to

Initializing Firebase in a Web Application:

Sign up for a free Firebase account at firebase.google.com.
Create a new project in the Firebase console and give it a name.

3. Enable the Google Analytics

Enable Google Analytics for the Project to Monitor your app’s trafficAdd a Web app in your Project

4. In the project settings, generate a new web app configuration. This will give you a set of keys and configuration settings that you will need to add to your web app.

5. In your web app, include the Firebase JavaScript library by adding the following script tag to the head of your HTML file:

6. Next, initialize Firebase in your JavaScript file by adding the following code:

var firebaseConfig = {
    apiKey: "your-api-key",
    authDomain: "your-project-id.firebaseapp.com",
    databaseURL: "https://your-project-id.firebaseio.com",
    projectId: "your-project-id",
    storageBucket: "your-project-id.appspot.com",
    messagingSenderId: "your-sender-id",
    appId: "your-app-id"
  };
  firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

7. Now you can use the Firebase database, authentication, and other services in your web app.

8. Enable Realtime Database Service into Project to read and write data from our Web app (Client)

Select Test mode while you are in development

For example, to read data from the Firebase Realtime Database:

var database = firebase.database();
var ref = database.ref('your_database_path');
// replace your databse path 
ref.on('value', function(snapshot) {
    console.log(snapshot.val());
// the console.log will return NULL, database is empty
});

9. To Monitor and Track your apps traffic and analytics you need to configure the firebase analytics into your Web App (Client) as given below

10. Import the Firebase Analytics library and call the analytics().setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true) method.

firebase.analytics();
firebase.analytics().setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true);

Now you can monitor your project analytics

This is just a basic introduction to Firebase and its usage in web applications. Firebase offers many more services and features that you can use to build powerful and scalable web applications. These include Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions, and Hosting, among others. It’s a good idea to explore these features and see how they can benefit your app.

Additionally, Firebase provides a lot of features to make your app more secure, such as Firebase Authentication, Firebase Security Rules, Firebase Cloud Firestore Security Rules.

Keep in mind that you should replace the placeholders such as your-api-key, your-project-id, and so on, with the actual values from your Firebase project.

It’s also important to note that Firebase is a paid service, so you should be aware of the pricing details and usage limits before you start building your app.

Next steps in your Firebase + web development journey would be to experiment with the different services and features offered by Firebase, and see how they can be integrated into your app to improve its functionality and user experience.

From Idea to Launch: My Journey Building Scattr.io

Salman Shaikh — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 03:06:09 +0000

As the founder of Scattr.io, a cross-blogging app, I have had the privilege of leading the development of this project since its inception in August 2022. The idea for Scattr.io came about after a failed attempt at building a workspace SaaS and a conversation with a mentor and online friend, Akash Bhadange, the co-founder of peerlist.io and my big brother Sohel Shaikh. I realized that there was a need for a platform that allows users to share their content on multiple platforms at once, and thus the idea for Scattr.io was born.

I was fortunate to have found a partner in Prathamesh, a frontend developer, who was just as passionate about the idea as I was. Together, we began brainstorming the concept for Scattr.io and quickly realized that we needed a designer to bring our vision to life.

However, finding a suitable UI and UX designer proved to be a challenge. After a few days, I met Jaya Singh, an online friend I had met at Devfest, who helped with user research and had knowledge in designing. She joined the team as the designer for Scattr.io, This prompted me to take on the role of designing and I decided to learn UI and UX on my own. I reached out to my mentor Akash Bhadange for advice and guidance, and with his help, I was able to learn the necessary skills to design the app.

In just 15 days, I completed the backend work using Node.js and was ready to work on the design of the app. It was a challenging but rewarding experience, and I am proud to say that I designed Scattr.io. The story of how I designed Scattr.io will be covered in a separate article.

The development process wasn’t smooth all the way, there were moments of doubt and uncertainty, but with the help of my team, I was able to push through. I am grateful for the support and guidance of my mentor and online friend, Akash Bhadange, and Vedprakash Arya the founder of Vivifive Solutions.

The process of building Scattr.io was not just about coding and designing, it was also about understanding the user’s needs and wants. I along with my team did a lot of user research, surveys, to gather feedback and insights. We used this information to make informed decisions about the features and functionality of the app.

Finally, after months of hard work, Scattr.io was successfully launched in β. The journey of building Scattr.io has been a challenging and rewarding one. It has taught me the importance of having a strong team, as well as the willingness to learn and adapt to new skills. I am proud to have been a part of this project and I am excited to see what the future holds for Scattr.io. I am hopeful that it will help users to share their content on multiple platforms at once and save their time, effort and energy. It also allows them to track the performance of their content across different platforms.

It is finally here! 🎊🎊
Scattr is launched in early beta🚀

The best tool for cross-posting your articles across various platforms such as Hashnode, dev, medium, etc#Scattr #articles #crossposting #tool #beta https://t.co/6QvAHjatYq
— Scattr (@ScattrHq) December 23, 2022

I am looking forward to receiving feedback from our users and continuously improving Scattr.io to meet their needs and expectations. I am confident that with the support of my team and mentors, Scattr.io will continue to be a valuable tool for content creators.

And Your hard work pays you of !

It’s not about being the best, it’s about constantly improving and never giving up. — Salman Shaikh (Founder of Scattr.io)

Where do developers hang out in 2022?

Salman Shaikh — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 06:57:29 +0000

You can meet all sorts of people in various active developer communities. Communities are the easiest way to connect with other developers, get quick answers to your questions, share your feelings and experience.

For sure, you can meet someone who would help you to understand this weird and crazy world of development, or simply find teammates for your indie game project. And even if you work remotely, you don’t have to stay alone. Let’s keep in touch with other people. But where can you find your fellow developers?

I have brought you some of the most active developer communities in 2022, both general and specific to one particular area of development (or a language).

N0. GitHub and StackOverflow

OMG, is this really the GitHub community in the developer communities list? Yes, it is as it is. And I cannot fail to mention it. GitHub connects 83+ million developers and 200+ million projects. Nuff said.

The developer’s life is an endless cycle of answering and asking questions on StackOverflow. Yes, StackOverflow is one of the largest communities for programmers. So, hurry up, ask your question and don’t worry, someone will surely help you (or tell you that they have the same problem).

The website is easy to use and the lively forum discussions are easy to join. Throw caution to the winds and become an author to share your ideas with other people.

Mobile dev communities

N19. XDA Developers

XDA as a mobile software development community was launched long time ago (in 2002), which makes it one of the oldest programming communities on internet (with more than 5 million of users). That’s a great community news sharing platform and a perfect place for discussions on various topics (forum).

N20. Communities for iOS developers

Since the XDA Developers community is mostly focused on Android and Windows, I’d like to show you some communities for IOS developers. You may have heard something about the main forum for IOS developers (the official Apple Developer website). However, there are numerous other communities on various platforms to your taste, for example: iOS Developers Slack Community, MacRumors forum and Subreddit for IOS developers (r/iOSProgramming).

Summing things up

But are there any offline communities to communicate with other developers face to face, you may ask. That's my point, if you’re looking for any offline activities, try searching for offline events here, on meetup.com, or google for offline programming conferences and hackathons in your area.

Join communities that you’re interested in, feel comfortable, chat with other people, and do not forget that outside of the programming there is a real world with real people who (surprise!) are also into programming, just like you.

So, I hope you found this article curious and maybe decided to join some of the communities mentioned. By the way, check out other links related to the topic:

Cloudflare also provides security by protecting Internet properties from malicious activity like DDoS attacks, malicious bots, and other nefarious intrusions. And allows website owners to easily insert applications into their websites without needing to be a developer.

Firewall & DDOS Protection

Along with the caching and CDN, Cloudflare helps protect your site against brute-force attacks and threats against your website. Cloudflare has the advantage of serving over 12 million websites and so can identify malicious bots and users more easily than any operating system firewall.

DDoS mitigation

A commonly used method for disrupting a web application is the use of distributed denial-of-service or DDoS attacks. Cloudflare mitigates DDoS attacks through a variety of strategies including dropping volumetric attack traffic at our edge, and using our Anycast network to properly route legitimate requests without a loss of service. Learn how Cloudflare can help you protect a web property from DDoS attacks.

DNS Security - DNSSEC protection

The domain name system or DNS is the phonebook of the Internet and represents the way in which an Internet tool such as a web browser looks up the correct server. Bad actors will attempt to hijack this DNS request process through DNS cache poisoning, on-path attacks and other methods of interfering with the DNS lookup lifecycle. If DNS is the phonebook of the Internet, then DNSSEC is unspoofable caller ID. Explore how you can protect a DNS lookup using Cloudflare.

How I became a developer

Hey Whatsapp Folks, I hope you are doing well! I have been thinking for the last few weeks to write a few articles on KaiOS, and now the first article is here, I hope you like this one.

In this article, I'm going to tell you about that Why and How I learned KaiOS.

My Story behind being a KaiOS Developer

My learning journey in KaiOS is quite different, and It started 4 years ago (2018) When I don't even know about HTML at that time Reliance announced its Cheapest Feature Phone in India with 4G connectivity, WIFI, NFC like features, which is powered by KaiOS. when I heard the news about the launch of the 4G Feature phone I was crazy about the Jio phone, 6 or 7 months after the launch I bought one for my mom for her use.

But I became a slave of that feature phone because I was amazed by the features of that KaiOS Device, there were couple apps was given with that default store like JIO TV, Videocall, etc. as I said that I was totally slave of that phone so I'm waiting for softer updates, new apps, features I always wanted new thing in my phone so I started to search new updates on Youtube about Jio phone e.g. ( How to install Whatsapp in Jio phone, how-to-use Gmail in JIO Phone, etc. ) and creators who make FAKE videos on these topics their video got a lot of views.

one day I thought that why I shouldn't start a YouTube Channel and create content on these topics and am also getting a lot of views on that topic ( got 17k subscribers ) coz middle-class people started to buy that device in a huge amount and now KaiOS is on the 2nd number in the list of most used operating system beaten iOS only because of the JIO PHONE the most used device in India after android. and then what I was getting curious about Jio phone's operating system, architecture day by day.

After Researching for 1 Year on JIO PHONE I found that It's based on KaiOS named operating system which is totally made up of HTML, CSS, and Javascript. so I started to learn HTML by copying code from the internet and stealing my elder brother's college project's HTML codes, so finally I found a KaiOS Open Source Development community, then what I Joined that community, where I learned how can I Jailbreak a KaiOS Device for installing my own Apps which I have created for my phone using HTML only.

I always had a dream that time my App should be on JIO STORE and now the dream has been completed my one app is in the JIO Developers Growthpad program and on the way to the Jio store.

So what did I do all this, I was doing all this for my own fun and to learn

And then I continued my journey in the field of CS and WEB Technologies after a 2 of years I lost my KaiOS device and I moved to android,

Today I'm a Developer only because of the cheap 15$ feature phone . Learned a lot and I'm still learning new things in the KaiOS

In the last month had life's first Interview [ REJECTED ]
