       BY  MY COLLEGE NOTIFIER. Master of Computer Application (MCA) will henceforth be a two-year programme, the All India Council for Technical Education in a statement announced on Monday from the academic year of 2020-21. The 545th meeting of the University Grants Commission had considered this issue on December 19 last year but this notification officially approves that the MCA course shall be of two years duration from 2020-21.  But this might not affect MCA students as much, said AICTE Chairman Anil D Sahasrabuddhe. "There won't be much change as students studying BSc Computer Science or IT Bachelor of Computer Application were anyway joining the MCA course directly in the second year," he told Edex. To be eligible for an MCA course one has to have a BCA, Bachelors degree in Computer Science Engineering or an equivalent degree, BSc, BCom, BA with Mathematics in their 10+2 level or graduation level with additional bridge courses as require...

          BY  DIVAKAR KUMAR PANDAY. Guidance and inspiration are two constants in a successful entrepreneur’s life. And while mentors and peers in the ecosystem can provide both in abundance, there is nothing like finding wisdom between the pages of a well-written book.  When the going gets tough and ideas run dry, read the stories of other founders who have been there and done that, waged all the wars you are faced with at the moment, and have found success.  Ben Horowitz’s The Hard Thing About Hard Things, and Peter Thiel’s Zero to One may be crowd favourites, but let us tell you about 10 other books that you, as an entrepreneur, can seek guidance from. 1. The Startup Playbook: Secrets of the Fastest-Growing Startups from Their Founding Entrepreneurs by David Kidder  Within this around-300 pages of text, you will find author David Kidder’s interviews with hundreds of founders about their path to success and how they managed to buil...

     BY DIVAKAR KUMAR PANDAY Python  is among the fastest-growing programming languages today. There are more and more developers exploring Python than ever before. Some of the Python functionalities are brilliant. Here are a few of the Python functions that are less popular among developers. 1. Variable Assignment Similar to functions such as args and kwargs, you can use the same syntax in variable assignments. Using iterable variable assignment methods can be useful when merging dictionaries. But you need to be cautious as there are many common keys between these two dictionaries. The latest Python 3.9 offers a fresh new syntax for this exact problem. 2. Frozensets You can use sets, which are unordered collections of distinct objects. These sets are mutable, which can help in changing them with add() and remove(). You can also use these immutable frozenset() but cannot change its values. Using the frozenset() as a dictionary key is not that useful but it can ...
