🚀 Exciting News for Developers: Run VS Code on Any Browser! 🌐

Rizwan Hasan — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 06:08:49 +0000

If you’ve ever wanted the flexibility of running VS Code directly in your browser, now’s the time to give it a try. After experimenting with various solutions, I’ve found a standout option: openvscode-server by github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server – a fork of Microsoft’s VS Code.

Here’s why I’m impressed:

✨ No limitations: You can run it seamlessly in any browser.

🔧 Self-hosting made easy: I’ve been running it on my Raspberry Pi 4B, and it’s performing flawlessly.

For those eager to try, you can download the precompiled binary from the GitHub release page. However, one caveat – there’s no DEB package for Ubuntu/Debian users.

💡 Solution: I loved the project so much that I created a Linux package for easier installation:

ArchLinux/Manjaro (AUR Package): aur.archlinux.org/packages/openvscode-server
Ubuntu/Debian (DEB File): github.com/Rizwan-Hasan/openvscode-server-deb/tree/main

If you’re a developer looking for a flexible and efficient browser-based IDE, I encourage you to give it a try. Contributions and feedback are always welcome! Let’s make development even more accessible. 💻✨

Create A PDF From Multiple Images Using Python

Rizwan Hasan — Sun, 17 Jan 2021 13:05:52 +0000

In today's world PDF is a very popular file format among book readers, students, and officials, etc. Those who read books on their mobile phones or PC(Personal Computers) know the importance of PDF format in everyday life and many times need to make a single PDF from a bunch of images in order to share and read. As an example, it turned out to be a life-saving thing for me a couple of days ago. I love reading Manga. So, I downloaded a popular manga as a .zip file, after extracting there were 144 chapters as 144 folders and each folder has 19 to 32 images. So, I thought if I convert every chapter into a single PDF then it will be a lot easier to read and organize. I am going to share today how I did this thing easily using Python Programming Language.

It happens often that our friends send us some class notes as images on Messenger or WhatsApp. Instead of reading those as images, it’s more convenient to make a PDF and read it. Many people love reading comics and mangas too. Like me, they download episode images and read them. But also creating a PDF is a more convenient solution if you’re going to read it offline. Moreover, developers need this too. Downloading multiple images from websites or web-scraping many times ended up creating PDFs from those scrapped images. In such cases where you need to create a PDF from a bunch of images one time then it’s good to go with free software available on the internet. But if you need to do it more than 10 times or I say 100 times respectively, then isn’t it annoying? Strongly, you need a solution here but instead of finding a solution on ready-made software, why not you make your own solution? I ended up writing a couple of lines in Python to achieve the goal I’ve told you about earlier.

Explanation

The code is very straight forward. I’ve taken five images and created an object of that images using the PIL library’s Image module. To create PDF, the image must need to have in RGB mode. So, I converted their mode to RGB. Now comes the tricky part. I wish to create a specific order of five images in PDF and that’s why I need to specify the order of images. For that, I created a Python list and on the list, I put them in my wished order. I want to create an order like this "image1, image2, image3, image4, image5" but I didn’t add the image1 in the list because if I do that then the image1 will be shown 2 times. It will show 2 times because when I’m creating the PDF, I started it just by adding the image1. So, if the image1 is already in the list and for PDF creation if I use the save option from image1 then it means image1 is already in the list and also adding when creating the PDF. For this reason, never add the first image of your desire list of images ordered.

How to set up a Samba Server in Ubuntu and share files seamlessly

Rizwan Hasan — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 21:14:57 +0000

Before jumping into the topic, let me ask you a couple of questions. How you transfer your files from your one pc to another or pc to phone? You're probably gonna say about using a USB cable or Pendrive? Yeah, it's very common. But if I ask you how to share it through your local network where your every device is connected to your high-performance router with WiFi or LAN Cable. Can you share your files with one device to another simultaneously by using this local network? Can you stream and watch your favorite movie from your pc to your phone? I'll say yes, you can.

Some popular network protocol exists with this ability and maybe you've already heard of one or used one on your Windows PC or laptop already. Windows has a handy feature of drive sharing or a particular folder sharing across the local network which can be accessed from another device or the phone's also if they are on the same network. And Windows uses the SMB networking protocol or in short SAMBA. Using Samba on Windows is very easy with a couple of clicks and it'll up.

Accessing from Linux is also very easy but can we create this network in Linux? Yes, and it's not so tough because I'm here to break it down step by step. I'll only cover Ubuntu in this article because it's very popular and beginner-friendly. But if you need it on another distribution, you can comment me below and I'll glad to cover it. So, let's start with a basic definition of Samba.

✴️ What is Samba?

Samba is a free software re-implementation of the SMB(Server Message Block) networking protocol which was originally developed by Andrew Tridgell. It is the standard Windows interoperability suite of programs for Linux and Unix. Samba provides secure, stable, and fast file and print services for all clients using the SMB(Server Message Block)/CIFS(Common Internet File System) protocol.

➡️ Installation

Update repository cache

💲 sudo apt update

Install Samba package

💲 sudo apt install samba

➡️ Configurations

Creating a folder for share

💲 mkdir /home/<username>/sambashare/

Opening config file in terminal

💲 sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Config for sharing previously created folder
Add this config at the end of the file

[sambashare]
    comment = Samba on Ubuntu
    path = /home/<username>/sambashare
    read only = no
    browsable = yes

Start the service

💲 sudo service smbd restart

➡️ Configuring Firewall

Add Samba allowance in UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall)

💲 sudo ufw allow samba

➡️ Setting up a user account for Samba

Since Samba doesn’t use the system account password, we need to set up a Samba password for our user account.

Username used must belong to a system account, else it won’t save.

Setting up User Accounts and Connecting to Share

💲 sudo smbpasswd -a <username>

➡️ Find your local IP

I'm using ifconfig to know my local IP

Solution for ifconfig command not found in the system

💲 sudo apt install net-tools

➡️ Samba status

💲 sudo systemctl status smbd

➡️ Paste some file in the folder

➡️ Connect from Windows

Write your devices IP address in the red marked area following this format

\\IP_ADDRESS\\<FOLDER_NAME>

\\192.168.1.41\sambashare

💘 Connection successful

How to interface Oracle Database with Python and execute queries

Rizwan Hasan — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 21:21:48 +0000

Oracle and Python, both two words are very familiar among the developers as well as every tech-related guy also. So, today you’re gonna learn how to attach these two words or in other words how to perform DDL and DML operations on Oracle Database through Python Programming.

Installation

You must need the Oracle Database installed on your PC. I’ve written an article about the guideline for installing Oracle Database on PC. You can check out that article here.

How to setup Oracle Database 11g XE on Windows and unlock the "HR" user

Rizwan Hasan for TechLearners ・ Jan 6 '21

#database #beginners #tutorial #computerscience

Now comes about the preparation of Python. I believe as you’re in this article; it means you are not noob enough to show you step by step installing python and modules via pip or anaconda. Anyway, you’ll need the "cx-Oracle" module for this interfacing and it’s available via pip and anaconda officially.

I’ll use the "HR" sample user account provided with Oracle Database by default. Because this account comes up with some ready-made tables which I’m gonna use in the rest of the article as I’m not creating databases here.

Establishing a connection

To perform any queries, a connection with the database is needed. For that, you need your database’s username, password, server(host), and service name. I’m using Express Edition of Oracle Database 11g. So, my service name is “XE”. After declaring the variables of this informations, you’re ready to connect. It’s important to keep the connection establishing code into the try-except block because it can generate errors and those errors are also needed to be handled carefully.

Code 1: Connection

import cx_Oracle

def main():
    # Variables
    username: str = "HR"
    password: str = "<YOUR_PASSWORD>"
    host: str = "localhost"
    service: str = "XE"

    # Connection establishing
    connection = None
    try:
        connection = cx_Oracle.connect(
            username,
            password,
            "{0}/{1}".format(host, service)
        )
        print("Connection successful")
        connection.close()
    except cx_Oracle.DatabaseError as e:
        print(e)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

The output of this code is, "Connection successful" if it connects. Otherwise, the try-except block will catch the error and print it into the terminal.

Data Definition Langauge (DDL)

A data definition or data description language (DDL) is a syntax for defining data structures, especially database schemas. DDL only care for data reading as it’s a data definition language.

Code 2: Reading data from Database (1)

Here the code starting from line no 22 to 28 is added and the rest of the code is as same as Code 1 because without creating a connection you can’t do anything. Getting back into the code, always you need a cursor for executing any query whether the query is for reading or writing, and after every successful connection, you can get the cursor from the connection object variable. For every single query you want to execute; you just need to get a new cursor object and the return of the query’s output can be grabbed from the cursor object of that query. By the way, you don’t need to reconnect every time to get a new cursor. Every time create a new cursor object from an existing connection object variable. So, after getting the cursor object, I executed a simple query to get all the First Name and Last Name data from the table named Employee. And after getting the data I just printed it all.

import cx_Oracle

def main():
    # Variables
    username: str = "HR"
    password: str = "<YOUR_PASSWORD>"
    host: str = "localhost"
    service: str = "XE"

    # Connection establishing
    connection = None
    try:
        connection = cx_Oracle.connect(
            username,
            password,
            "{0}/{1}".format(host, service)
        )
        print("Connection successful")
    except cx_Oracle.DatabaseError as e:
        print(e)

    # Executing DDL
    cursor = connection.cursor()
    cursor.execute("SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME FROM EMPLOYEES")

    # Printing output
    for i in cursor:
        print(i)

    connection.close()        

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

The output of this code is all the First & Last name stored in the Employee table.

Code 3: Reading data from Database (2)

The reason I’ve put another example is to show you how to write lengthy queries and use variables inside a query. Because if you wish to use the variable in cursor execution braces you’ve to follow the below syntax. But you can also build your query on a string variable and then put that into the cursor execution braces and it will work. But Oracle’s documentation of the "cx-Oracle" module recommends the first way.

import cx_Oracle

def main():
    # Variables
    username: str = "HR"
    password: str = "<YOUR_PASSWORD>"
    host: str = "localhost"
    service: str = "XE"

    # Connection establishing
    connection = None
    try:
        connection = cx_Oracle.connect(
            username,
            password,
            "{0}/{1}".format(host, service)
        )
        print("Connection successful")
    except cx_Oracle.DatabaseError as e:
        print(e)

    # Executing DDL
    minSalary: int = 15000
    maxManagerID: int = 200
    cursor = connection.cursor()
    cursor.execute(
        """SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME FROM EMPLOYEES
            WHERE SALARY > :sal AND MANAGER_ID < :man""",
        sal=minSalary, man=maxManagerID
    )

    # Printing output
    for fname, lname in cursor:
        print("{0} {1}".format(fname, lname))

    connection.close()    

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

The output of this code is, all those names from the Employee table who has a minimum salary of 15000 and manager id is smaller than 200.

Data Manipulation Langauge (DML)

A data manipulation language (DML) is some command that deals with the manipulation of data present in the database. DML only care for data writing as it’s a data manipulation language.

Code 4

Here in this code, I want to add a record on the table named Country. On line 27, I’ve executed an insertion query to add Bangladesh to the Country table. The country table has three columns; Country code, Country name, and Region id. But there is an important thing. Have you noticed on line 33? In the previous three examples, I didn’t use commit. Are you thinking that I already executed the query so the changes are done? Actually no. Changes have done temporarily but not permanently. If you log in to the Oracle database now, you won’t see the newly added record Bangladesh in the Country table. To make changes permanent, I also committed the changes. And now my changes have made into the database permanently. So far, I was only concerned about getting data thus I didn’t need to use commit because there were no changes to make. So, after performing every DML operation, you must commit it or the changes won’t be made into the database.

Before running the code there is no record of Bangladesh.

Now, run the code

import cx_Oracle

def main():
    # Variables
    username: str = "HR"
    password: str = "<YOUR_PASSWORD>"
    host: str = "localhost"
    service: str = "XE"

    # Connection establishing
    connection = None
    try:
        connection = cx_Oracle.connect(
            username,
            password,
            "{0}/{1}".format(host, service)
        )
        print("Connection successful")
    except cx_Oracle.DatabaseError as e:
        print(e)

    # Executing DML
    countryCode: str = "BD"
    countryName: str = "Bangladesh"
    regionID: int = 3
    cursor = connection.cursor()
    cursor.execute(
        """INSERT INTO COUNTRIES
        (COUNTRY_ID, COUNTRY_NAME, REGION_ID)
        VALUES (:cCode, :cName, :rId)""",
        cCode=countryCode, cName=countryName, rId=regionID
    )
    connection.commit()
    print("Insertion successful")
    connection.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

The output of this code is positive if insertion becomes successful.

See? The changes have made to the database.

Conclusion

So far, I’ve tried to give you the basic interfacing of the Oracle database with Python. But it’s not enough. I suggest you checkout cx_Oracle’s official documentation https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io. And I believe if you understood all the codes I showed, then the documentation will be easily understandable to you.

How to setup Oracle Database 11g XE on Windows and unlock the "HR" user

Rizwan Hasan — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 21:14:19 +0000

For Database Management System, Oracle’s position is very strong and also popular among the developers and companies. The version of Oracle Database 11g Express Edition is widely used among the students and database beginners. It’s very lightweight and unlike the previous version 10g, it’s improved in many ways. However, today you will be learning how to install the Oracle Database 11g XE version on Windows PC and unlocking the ‘HR’ account.

Download the Oracle Database 11g Express Edition from the official link here. It’s a zip file that is about 350 MB more or less.

Extracting the ZIP

After finishing the downloading extract the zip file and for extracting a popular opensource program called 7-Zip can be used or you can use any proprietory programs like WinRAR, WinZip, etc.

After extracting there is a folder named [DISK1] and inside that folder, there’s a [setup.exe] file and that’s needed for the installation.

Installation

To begin the installation, double click on the "setup.exe" file, and a window like the below screenshot will appear.

Accept the license and click on the "Next" button like below.

If you wish to install it in another directory you can do so but I’m leaving it as default. I suggest unless you’re running out of space in the "C" drive, follow the program’s suggestion like below.

You need to set a password for the database system user which is used for the "SYS" & "SYSTEM" user account in the Oracle DBMS environment.

In this step, check whether all the information is correct or not. If negative you can go back and make changes. It’s important to remember the port information showed on this window.

Now the installation has begun, you can grab a cup of coffee as a waiting material.

After a couple of minutes, if the below window appears then Congratulations. You have installed the database successfully.

Although the installer won’t tell you about the restarting of pc. But it’s very important. After restarting, you can start exploring the database and also be able to follow the further procedure of unlocking the “HR” user account.

By default Oracle Database XE comes with a sample user named "HR" and under this user’s territory there are several database tables in a sample schema. These pre-given databases and tables are playgrounds for beginners. However, for security reasons, the "HR" account is locked by default.

Unlocking the "HR" user

To unlock the account you need to go through some commands in CMD (Command Prompt). Also, you can use programs like PowerShell for this procedure.

So, Open up your CMD and execute the below command for connecting to the Oracle Database with CMD.

SQLPLUS / AS SYSDBA;

Alter the HR user to unlock,

ALTER USER HR ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

Finally, unlock the user and assign a password,

ALTER USER HR IDENTIFIED BY <password>;

Replace "" with your desired one and the changes will be made for the "HR" account only.

Type the exit command for exiting from the database environment. You can use this same command for exiting from Command Prompt, PowerShell, and similar applications also.

exit

What is JSON? And why do you need it?

Rizwan Hasan — Fri, 25 Dec 2020 20:57:34 +0000

Before going on to the topic JSON, I would like to discuss a simple example because it will be a lot easier to explain JSON after the example.

Suppose we are developing desktop software or a web application. So, for the desktop software we need to save the changes of settings that users have made so that when he/she opens the software again at another time, he/she doesn’t need to change the settings again as he/she changed it earlier. Also, it’s a very annoying thing for a user to config the same changes at every start. Now, what about web applications? Web apps have one or more databases to store changes. Let’s think about a drawback here. Web apps need to store many temporary configuration or data to serve the user with a good experience for that session. And it’s an obvious thing that, developers can’t let an app to make the database busy for some temporary session data. Now, the question comes about how we store these changes or temporary data on storage? Confused? Again thinking about using databases like Oracle, Mariadb? Of course, we can do that but it’s not an efficient solution here. Ok, Keep down your thinking a bit and I’m keeping all the hard things aside, just store the data as a Text file. Wow, our storing problem is solved. But a new problem is knocking at the door, how to retrieve the data and get the same data structures in the same manner that we had applied in the application? On a simple text file, there are lackings of data formation for the data structures that we use in any program. Here comes the life-saving concept of data serialization, also we are very close to jumping on JSON.

What is Data Serialization?

Data Serialization is the process of converting structured data to a format that allows sharing or storage of the data in a form that allows recovery of its original structure when needed. The reason for serializing data is finding some sort of universal format that can be easily shared across different applications.

What is JSON?

JSON is a data interchanging format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of data structure and it’s the most widespread format for data serialization. Simply JSON is text, written with JavaScript object notation. “JavaScript Object Notation” is the full form of JSON. Many developers don’t like JavaScript because of their perspectives. But don’t worry, it’s alright if your knowledge is empty about JavaScript.

Why JSON?

JSON is mainly intended for data interchanging among the applications. Parsing data from one application to another through JSON is so much easy because of its language-independent data format. Almost every programming language has JSON support through official and 3rd party. Now, referencing my example, JSON can be used as a configuration or temporary data storing file also for any application. There is an important fact that JSON lacks Abstract Data Type (ADT) feature because of its data serialization format which breaks the opacity of ADT by potentially exposing private implementation details.

A very popular database named “MongoDB” uses JSON-like documents with the schema.

Basics of JSON

JSON uses “.json” for filename extension. You can write JSON file using normal text editors like Windows’s built-in Notepad. JSON supports String, Number, Object (JSON object)/Hashmap, Array/List, Boolean and N*ull* data types.

Let’s see some examples

String

{
  "name": "Rizwan Hasan"
}

Number

{
  "age": 20
}

JSON names require double quotes ("").

JSON uses a colon (“:”) for separating names and values.

Objects / Hashmap

{
  "student": {
    "name": "Rizwan Hasan",
    "age": 21,
    "sex": "Male"
  }
}

Here key “student” has an object value and that object has some names.

JSON uses curly braces (“{}”) for object separation and commas (“,”) for names separation.

Array / List

{
  "students": [
    "Rizwan",
    "Sakib",
    "Natsu"
  ]
}

Here key “student” have an array value and that array has some name element.

JSON uses square brackets (“[]”) for array declaring and commas (“,”) for element separation.

Boolean

{
  "answer": true
}

Null

{
  "nickname": null
}

Data types in Nested manner

{
  "students": [
    {
      "id": 101,
      "name": "Rizwan Hasan",
      "age": 21,
      "department": "CSE",
      "sex": "Male",
      "paid": true,
      "cgpa": 2.13
    },
    {
      "id": 102,
      "name": "Faria Hasan",
      "age": 20,
      "department": "BBA",
      "sex": "Female",
      "paid": true,
      "cgpa": 3.56
    }
  ]
}

Explanation:

Here we are storing some student's information. First, there is an object which’s key is named “students” and the value is an array blocked with square brackets. In the array, there is two student’s information. Every element of the array is also an object and they contain some information name, age, department, sex, paid, and GPA. Name, department, and sex are strings. Id, age, and, GPA is numbers. Lastly paid is boolean.

Conclusion

So far I discussed JSON but still, there are a lot of things to know about like how to use it with different programming languages and how to do data interchanging between two or more languages. Here I only focused on giving the basics because after this pretty basic you are ready to go with JSON more advanced and also with the upgraded version of JSON called YAML. To learn more about JSON, I suggest this free online tutorial from Tutorialspoint here. In the future, I will try to cover how to use JSON with popular programming languages like Python, Java, Kotlin, and C++.

Get more than 30X speedup on your Python code

Rizwan Hasan — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 12:16:32 +0000

Python is the world's best programming language. But wait for a minute. Really? Some people will say in the comment that, "Bro, It's so slower than others in the market". By the way, I'm not going to argue with anyone about this best programming language selection war. But those who become upset after having a defeat from the war only based on the point of Python is slow, I'm here to give them a push. So, let's jump into the mission of making Python 30X faster.

What is Cython?

Cython is an optimizing static compiler for both the Python programming language and the extended Cython programming language based on well-known Pyrex. It makes writing C extensions for Python as easy as Python itself. In other words, Cython is an intermediate step between Python and C/C++. It allows writing pure Python code with some minor modifications, which translates into the C code directly.

How Cython boosts?

Cython aims to become a superset of Python which gives it high-level, object-oriented, functional, and dynamic programming features. Source codes written in Python gets translated into optimized C/C++ code. This code is executed within the CPython runtime environment, but at the speed of compiled C and with the ability to call directly into C libraries. At the same time, it keeps the original interface of the Python source code, which makes it directly usable from Python code. Thus it compiled as a Python extension module as well as keeping up the high productivity of Python which is worshipped by the developers.

How to Cythonize your Python code?

✴️ First I'm creating a python file named "hello.pyx"

➡️ A .pyx file is compiled by Cython to a .c file, containing the code of a Python extension module.

# hello.pyx
def say_hello():
    print("Hello World!")

✴️ Now I'm creating a python file named "launch.py" for calling the "hello.pyx" module

➡️ This code will always interpret like normal Python
➡️ It won't be compiled to C

# launch.py
import hello

hello.say_hello()

✴️ Now I'm writing a setuptools named "setup.py" for compiling the "hello.pyx" module

➡️ This is the normal and recommended way from the Cython Documentation.

# setup.py
from setuptools import setup
from Cython.Build import cythonize

setup(
    name='Hello world app', 
    ext_modules=cythonize('*.pyx')
)

✴️ Finally, I'm running this command on the terminal for building

💲 python setup.py build_ext --inplace

🧮 Compilation Workflow of build command

✴️ Let's launch the code for testing

💲 python launch.py
 Hello World!

Add custom domain in a GitHub page with Cloudflare

Rizwan Hasan — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 19:38:18 +0000

Most of the time, a beginner git user’s big question is about how to attach a custom domain to a Github page. And it was the same for me also. But now it’s not and that’s why I’ve started writing to them about how you can use a custom domain in your Github page and add Cloudflare also. So, Let’s get started.

Step 1: Get a domain

You need a domain to attach. Buy a domain from any good places like Xeonbd, Godaddy, or any places that you like but make sure it supports a custom nameserver. I haven’t found any provider that doesn’t support custom nameserver but also I’d try to mention every bit of information.

Step 2: Set custom nameserver

Your domain needs to point to the Cloudflare server. So, you need to update the nameserver of your domain’s default to below two and make sure the other nameserver’s field remains empty without the first two.

arnold.ns.cloudflare.com

pola.ns.cloudflare.com

Step 3: Create a Cloudflare account and add domain

If you don’t have a Cloudflare account create one. And from ‘add site’ add your domain in Cloudflare. Don’t worry it’s completely free.

Step 4: Update Domain’s DNS from Cloudflare

Now you need to update your domain’s DNS from Cloudflare’s DNS Panel. For every entry, click on ‘Add record’, Select Type ‘A’, enter the domain name in the ‘Name’ field, and in the ‘IPv4 address’ field you need to add these four IPs like in the screenshots below. I collected the IP’s from GitHub’s documentation here.

185.199.108.153

185.199.109.153

185.199.110.153

185.199.111.153

Step 4: Finally add your domain to your GitHub page

Go to your Github Repository and from the repository settings, go to Github Pages and there you will have an option for adding a custom domain like the picture below.

It’s working!
