Python programming has become very popular in recent years. This is sure to be down to its simplicity, versatility, and the wide range of applications it can be used for. Whether you are a beginner looking to start your programming journey or an experienced developer looking to add Python to your skillset, this comprehensive guide will provide you with the best strategies and resources to learn Python effectively.

Why Learn Python?

Before we dive into the ‘how to’ process, let’s understand why learning Python is useful and why it has become one of the most popular programming languages in use today:

  • Versatility: Python is not a ‘one trick pony’, that is limited to just one type of task. No, whether you are interested in web development, data science, machine learning, or game development, Python has the tools and libraries to support your needs.
  • Readability: Python’s clear and readable syntax very much resembles the English language, making it easier to understand than some other coding languages. As you can imagine, this feature is especially beneficial for beginners.
  • Rich library support: Python comes with a vast standard library that includes pre-written code, each one useful for a variety of tasks, saving you time and effort. Then there is the fact that thousands of third-party packages have been designed to work with Python, increasing its functionality even more.
  • Platform independence: With Python you only have to write your code once, i.e. it will run on many operating systems as is, and does not require any extra configuration
  • Interpreted language: Python is an interpreted language, meaning that the code is executed line by line. This makes it easier to debug as you can test small pieces of code without compiling the entire program.
  • Open source and free: Python is an open-source language, which means its source code is available to all. This has led to a large community of developers contributing to its development and creating a vast ecosystem of Python libraries.
  • High demand for Python skills: With the rise of data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, there is a high demand for professionals who can use Python to extract insights from data, build machine learning models, and automate tasks. Learning Python can significantly enhance your employability and open up a wide range of career opportunities.

How Long Does It Take to Learn Python?

The time it takes to learn Python varies depending on many factors such as your level of experience in programming, the complexity of the concepts you’re trying to reach, the amount of time you can dedicate to learning, and how proficient you are in English. The good news is that if you create a good learning plan and put in a consistent level of effort, you will be able to grasp the basics in a very short time,  and become proficient in a few months (and you could do it even faster by attending a good training course).

The Best Strategies for Learning Python

Now that we understand the benefits of learning Python and have a realistic timeframe in mind, let’s explore the best strategies to learn Python effectively: – So what is the best way to learn Python?

  1. Code Every Day

Consistency is key when learning any programming language, including Python. Make sure you do a bit of coding every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes. This will help develop muscle memory and reinforce the concepts you’ve learned.

  1. Write It Out

Taking notes can significantly improve your learning retention. When learning Python, consider writing out the code by hand, especially when working on small projects or planning your code structure. This practice helps solidify your understanding of the syntax and logic behind the code.

  1. Surround Yourself With Others Who Are Learning

Join online communities and forums where you can connect with fellow Python enthusiasts. Engaging in discussions, asking questions, and sharing your knowledge can help solidify your understanding of Python concepts and expose you to different perspectives.

Participate in coding meetups, hackathons, and workshops to interact with like-minded individuals. Collaborative learning environments foster creativity, encourage problem-solving, and provide networking opportunities.

  1. Pair Program

Pair programming involves working with another programmer on the same codebase. This collaborative approach allows you to learn from each other, share ideas, and catch errors more effectively. Pair programming also improves communication and teamwork skills, which are highly valued in the industry.

Find a programming buddy or join pair programming sessions organized by coding communities. Collaborating with others can provide fresh perspectives and help you gain new insights into Python programming.

  1. Ask “GOOD” Questions

Asking questions is an essential part of the learning process. When seeking assistance or clarification, strive to ask “GOOD” questions – questions that are specific, well-researched, and demonstrate your effort to understand the problem.

Before asking a question, make sure to search for answers in documentation, forums, and other resources. This not only helps you develop problem-solving skills but also shows that you have done your due diligence.

When asking questions, provide context and include relevant code snippets or error messages. This allows others to understand your problem better and provide more accurate and helpful responses.

  1. But where to ask these questions?

Perhaps the very best place to ask these questions, and to learn Python, is whilst learning on a professional, instructor-led training course, such as the ones that Framework Training offers. That way you can learn from the experts, collaborate with others, and get to ask those important questions in the knowledge that you are going to get an immediate answer.

Imagine: you’re cleaning up your desktop, dragging folders into the trash can, when the unthinkable happens. You’ve accidentally deleted something important!

Whether it’s that quarterly report your boss is waiting for, a long university essay you don’t have time to rewrite, or a list of all your relative’s birthdays, this is a disaster.

We have good news: even if you permanently deleted a file, there may still be a way to get it back! This article discusses the simplest solutions to help you recover accidentially deleted folders from your PC.

1. Restore Previous Versions of the Folder

If you are running Windows, try right-clicking the folder, then select “Restore previous versions.” You will be prompted to choose a previous version of the folder to return to; pick the one with your accidentally deleted document intact!

This only works if you are using Windows Backup or a similar service to keep a copy of your files, usually on the cloud.

2. Use Command Prompt

If you deleted the entire file, or don’t have a backup of your documents, you can try using the command prompt. To get there, type “cmd” in the Start menu and choose “Run as administrator”.

Next, type this command: “attrib -h -r -s /s /d drive letter:\*.*”, replacing the “drive letter” with the letter of the drive your lost file was saved in, then press Enter.

If you have a Mac, you can do this too. Open Terminal and type the command “cd.Trash”. Press Return. Then, type “mv name of file../”, replacing “name of file” with the name of the deleted file.

3. Return To a Previous Backup

Most computers save a backup either locally or on the cloud. If you are running Windows, go to your settings, choose “Update and Security”, then “Backup”, then “Go to Backup and Restore”. From here, you will be able to return your computer to a previous backup and save that deleted file.

On a Mac, you can go through a similar process using Time Machine. To find it, go to your applications or search for “Time Machine”. Then, find the file and click “Restore”.

4. Use the Windows File Recovery App

The Windows File Recovery App is available for free on the Microsoft app store. It runs a prompt in Command Prompt that may be able to recover those deleted files.

5. Use Recovery Software

Another option is to use data recovery software. This choice usually brings the best results because it is specifically formulated to recover lost data.

With recovery software, you are not limited to just a lost file–Stellar Data Recovery allows you to recover data from internal and external Windows storage drives, SD cards, Micro-SC cards, USB drives, and more. Additionally, data can be recovered no matter if it was deleted manually or erased by an incorrectly formatted, corrupted, or encrypted drive.

Some people worry that a third-party data recovery software may steal their information–this is not the case! Reputable software incorporates impressive privacy protection measures that ensure your recovered files are only available on your computer, and nowhere else.

Conclusion

Accidentally deleting a folder is a big deal, especially when it has something important in it. If this ever happens to you, the five data recovery methods explained in this article will help you get your files back in no time!

The world of cybersecurity is an ever-evolving landscape. As a result, businesses and individuals with websites must stay up to date with the latest trends and issues affecting the industry to ensure the platforms they maintain have the protection they need against cybercrime.

The start of a New Year brings a whole new host of cybersecurity trends and predictions. In this blog post, we take a closer look at the top four cybersecurity predictions for 2023 and how you can prepare with the help of cyber security consultants at Security Risk Management.

  1. Cyber attacks will become more sophisticated

Social engineering attacks were particularly prevalent during 2022, and use of this type of cyber attack is expected to continue into 2023 and beyond.

Social engineering targets the people behind a brand or business, and uses various techniques to manipulate these individuals into unwittingly sharing sensitive information, including logins, bank details and personal data. This information is then utilised to conduct other criminal activities such as identity theft and fraud.

Social engineering scams are no new thing. They have long been used to gain trust and access targeted information, and underpin a large number of cyberattacks, including phishing, whaling, baiting, diversion theft and business email compromise (BEC).

2023 is expected to bring a wider range of social engineering attacks to the forefront, with artificial intelligence (AI) set to be increasingly used by fraudsters to produce indistinguishable tactics that extract an individual’s or organisation’s most sensitive data.

  1. Ransomware should also be on your radar

Whilst the Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2022 recorded a fall in ransomware (from 17% to just 4% at last count), the use of ransomware is expected to increase into 2023. Instead of being opportunistic in nature, however, the ransomware attacks of 2023 are expected to be sophisticated, specific and highly targeted.

With this, every organisation (including charities) needs to be prepared. Obtaining the advice and support of a cyber security consultant will prove an essential step in the right direction for companies big and small. With the help of a cyber security specialist, you can work to secure your digital environment and infrastructure, plan ahead for a breach, and devise a system that supports maximum security and compliance.

Refining your policy or rules regarding ransomware payments is another must for ensuring consistency in the face of a ransomware attack.

  1. 5G will offer opportunities for businesses and fraudsters

The rise of the remote workforce since the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the way companies do business. With remote and hybrid work retaining popularity within the business community, the use of IoT devices and 5G technology is doing more than helping organisations expand their horizons in their respective marketplaces.

Attackers have been given a leg up with 5G technology, unsecure networks and IoT device usage paving the way for larger and more complex cyber-attacks.

  1. Cyber insurance policies will make a comeback

As cyber security breaches increase, the need for cyber insurance will grow. Billed as a vital safeguard against the financial damage associated with cybercrime, more and more cyber insurance policies are being accessed by individuals and organisations looking to protect themselves from the chilling aftermath of cyber-attack.

Machine learning has come a long way since Google’s DeepDream software in 2015. What used to be limited to Mandelbrot-like images of puppies within puppies as far as the mouse could zoom, now allows us to create any image that we can think of, and in any style imaginable. What is perhaps most surprising, is that it can do this from a text description rather than reference images. The Project Artsy Monke was built upon recent years’ advancements in AI and image diffusion techniques, using Google’s collaborative Notebook platform Colab, and combining it with their powerful Cloud Computing service.

“We were able to take all ten thousand Bored Ape NFT images, and feed those into the machine as a loose canvas within which to frame the generative art. The end product was mind blowing. ” said CryptoGrims, Artsy Monke’s in-house AI artist. “After that, it was a matter of teaching the machine to paint in the twenty different art styles we shortlisted, and then running multiple servers for several weeks to get the results we wanted.”

The results are astounding. Browsing through the 10,000 Artsy Monke collection it’s easy to pick out the intricate Viking ship scenes, the moody neon city landscapes, and the intense stormy oceans, but if we half close our eyes while looking at any one piece, we see a very familiar Bored looking Ape.

“We felt there was something missing from standard NFT art. While we understood the hype and excitement behind minting a new Ape, knowing that you had no idea what it would look like and what type of rarity it would have, we also felt there was a fine art element missing from the standard NFT collections. No matter how much you loved it, would you really hang it in your home? We wanted to recreate the magic of the Bored Ape collection and convert it into art.” said Dan Hovey, the project’s blockchain developer.

The 10,000 piece collection has since already sold out, with new buyers only able to collect the art from owners on the NFT marketplace OpenSea. The good news is that whereas Bored Ape Yacht Club’s cheapest entry point is now 85 ETH (around $100,000), an Artsy Monke original will only set you back a cool 0.015 ETH ($22). This may not be the case for much longer, as the team are about to release Artsy Monkeland, a Metaverse Themepark where only Artsy Monke NFT holders can participate in Play to Earn (P2E) video games.

“Having being in the NFT space since early 2021, we always knew that we needed more than just a great looking NFT. Which is why we also designed it as a utility token. We wanted Artsy Monke to be pieces of art that you could hang on your wall, but also, by using Web3 technology, we can also let holders access the Artsy Monke games and earn real money. The more Monke NFT you hold, the more games you can play and the more money you can earn.”

More information can be found at OpenSea or the official website at ArtsyMonke.com

For the first time since launching in 2019, UK-based Traced Ltd has introduced an in-app subscription to premium security features into its free security app, so that iOS and Android users can stay protected against phishing attacks and malicious web content as they browse the web.

Safe Browsing is the first feature Traced is including in Trustd Plus, and it’s available to both iOS and Android users. Safe Browsing is the same enterprise-grade available to customers of their business threat solution – Trustd MTD, and Traced is offering it to consumers to upgrade their on-device security for a low monthly subscription.

The introduction of premium features via Trustd Plus is a first for Traced, which has been acclaimed with an average 4.5 star rating across over 8000 reviews globally on Google Play. Users appreciate Traced’s privacy-first ethos and threat detection capabilities.

What is Safe Browsing and how does it protect against phishing?
Mobile phishing attacks are on the rise (in fact, they increased 700% in the first half of last year (Source: Proofpoint data). There’s smishing, vishing, phishing over social media and email, and there’s also phishing content on the web that lures a target to download a malicious app or enter their private details into a form.

The free Trustd app protects consumers against phishing by scanning phishing links in text messages, email apps, productivity and messaging apps like Slack, WhatsApp, Skype and social media – blocking the link from opening.

Safe Browsing in Trustd Plus provides a deeper layer of phishing protection. It detects and blocks fake and malicious websites while users browse the web from any app. Safe Browsing would detect malicious websites such as those used in the Dracarys and Malibot malware campaigns, preventing users from accessing the sites before they could download the infected app. In phishing attacks that present forms that send sensitive data back to the attackers, Safe Browsing would block those webpages from opening before a victim can enter any personal information.

To experience peace of mind when browsing the web, users can subscribe to Trustd Plus through the Trustd app. Download from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).

About Traced
The Traced (https://traced.app) team of security and privacy evangelists has won several cybersecurity awards and works with Microsoft’s MISA program, the Coalition Against Stalkerware, and the NCSC for Startups. Combining the threat intelligence from 250k+ protected mobile devices with that of other industry vendors, Traced’s ever-evolving AI technology stays one step ahead of the cyber criminals, protecting individuals and businesses from data loss from mobile phishing attacks, compromised WiFi networks, unpatched devices, malware and leaky apps.

Electronic devices are an inextricable part of our everyday lives. Our phones, tablets, and PCs accompany us every waking moment.

So far, though, most of us have treated our IT equipment as throwaway items.

Unlike many of our other appliances – think cars, fridges, even dishwashers – we rarely think about getting broken phones or laptops repaired.

However, this is changing. At the moment, there is an increasing trend toward IT repairs. Here’s why.

The Economy is Looking Down

To start with, many people are worried about their economic position. With the aftermath of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, we’re facing slowing growth and high rates of inflation.

Consequently, many people are looking at cheaper options than replacing devices as soon as something minor breaks. Loosely, the IT repair market can be considered to be anti-cyclical.

PC Upgrade Cycles Are Slowing

Another reason why people are now thinking twice before going for new devices is that the PC upgrade cycle is slowing down.

In 2016, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich noted that the interval has expanded from three to five years.

Most average PC users don’t need the latest hardware in their daily lives – from using office software to browsing the internet. Their current machines do the trick for that just fine, without major updates.

Repair Information Is More Easily Available

One of the biggest challenges that anyone wanting to have their electronic devices repaired has faced so far was a lack of information. Most manufacturers – from Apple to HP – never released instructions on how to replace simple parts.

In fact, many tech companies made it as difficult as possible to make repairs, by adding specialty screws and glued-in parts.

Now, vast amounts of information and tons of work-arounds are available online. People are sharing hacks on public forums and YouTube.

And even the manufacturers are coming around.  For instance, Apple announced a new self-repair service in late 2021.

People Want to Help the Environment

Finally, one major reason why the IT repair industry is growing are environmental concerns.

In the face of climate change and resulting disasters, many people are realising that it’s crucial to live more sustainably. This includes, repairing, reusing, and recycling devices.

From the point of view of the environment, repairing rather than replacing devices comes with massive benefits. No new resources are used – from rare metals to the energy needed for manufacturing new devices.

Outlook and Ongoing Challenges

While the IT repair industry is seeing significant growth, some challenges still remain. Many manufacturers are still reluctant to provide information and spare parts.

However, the culture shift towards a repair-oriented IT industry is ongoing – and inevitable.

Most industry players already see this reflected in their number of customers. IT repairs specialist Tekeurope, for instance, observed:  “We have seen an increased demand for repairs amongst our customers due to the lack of availability of new products post COVID-19, the cost savings offered and the desire to lessen their environmental impact.”

This way, you can open up new revenue streams and challenge yourself with a continuous learning curve. To help you get started, read on to learn how to build a custom ERP software solution for enterprise corporations.

Define Your Goals & Expectations

First and foremost, define your goals, requirements, and expectations for ERP software development. Think about the specific problems that you are looking to solve with your enterprise resource planning application. A powerful ERP platform should be capable of automating routine processes, controlling data flows, and streamlining different business activities. Therefore, it is important that you outline specific requirements to support financing, supply chain management (SCM), and human resources (HR) activities. By establishing your goals early-on, you can enable direction, clearer focus, and motivation throughout the development process. At the same time, these objective-setting tactics are key to give you a sense of what is important, as well as clarity for strategic decision making. Certainly, goals and expectations definition is a key step to build your own custom ERP software system.

Outline Your Features

Next, outline the key features that your enterprise resource planning software will contain. Modern ERP solutions perform several specific functionalities. At a minimum, you should build a platform that supports human resources (HR), manufacturing, financial planning, and customer relationship management (CRM) operations. Additionally, many advanced solutions also help businesses streamline processes related to sales, marketing, and supply chain planning. Withing these various departments, your software should help companies analyze, automate, and report on various tasks. Of course, taking the time to plan your features will help you build a digital environment for your software solution. Surely, features planning is a critical step for custom ERP software development.

Establish Your Tech Stack

Next, establish your tech stack for custom ERP system development. There are several development tools, programming resources, and supporting technologies to help you construct your platform.

Today, expert development teams are marrying their chosen version control system (VCS) tools from GitLab with the software delivery and binary management expertise from JFrog. This is the perfect configuration to maximize efficiency, lower risk, and accelerate cycle times. Indeed, establish your tech stack to build custom ERP software solutions for enterprise corporations.

Prepare Your UI/UX Design

Now, you are ready to prepare your user interface and experience design. Start thinking about your ERP framework, user interface configuration, and user experience flow. Ideally, you want to make sure that it is easy-to-navigate and understand. There will always be a few different graphs, components, and route options you can take throughout ERP software development. To help you organize your various design ideas, you should think about creating sophisticated prototypes and wireframes. This way, you can better understand the architecture, features, and responsiveness of your software before deployment. Of course, this will help you save time, better allocate resources, and make development better. Absolutely, prepare your UI/UX design to build a custom ERP software system for enterprise corporations.

Develop Your Software Solution

At this point, it is time to develop your custom ERP software solution. Start off by building out your hosting. In most cases, ERP solutions can be hosted on local servers. Of course, you may want to consider a cloud server to streamline data backups, promote scalability, and streamline collaboration. Afterwards, begin to configure your database. This is where a large portion of your software information will be secured. Generally speaking, it is advised to use NoSQL non-relational databases for your ERP software solution.

In a modern world driven by tech, even the smallest of businesses are turning to managed IT support. Ensuring business continuity is one of the many challenges both large and small businesses alike are facing as they often find themselves at odds with the technology they are using – this is especially pertinent as their reliance on digital assets and infrastructure grows.

As businesses become more reliant on the latest technology to get themselves through the day, it is critical that they employ the assistance of an IT support company to help maintain it. Outsourcing the management of your tech to a professional IT service ensures business continuity, boosts productivity within your team and can result in maximum profits. That is why more and more businesses are turning to managed tech support companies.

Proactive support

With technology moving so rapidly these days, investing in tech for your business isn’t as simple as ordering the right infrastructure and setting it up. An IT support service will fully maintain your tech, ensuring it’s up-to-date, secure and functioning correctly.

Without a digital caretaker on hand to manage your tech, you could be at risk of extended downtime or even data loss. An IT support service helps businesses gain control over their digital infrastructure and assets. Most professional companies will offer a proactive service that goes beyond regular break-fix solutions. If maintaining business continuity is your primary concern, then a managed IT service can evaluate the state of your digital assets and infrastructure and resolve any issues before they escalate. This level of service can minimise disruptions in your day-to-day operations and boost long-term productivity, essentially future-proofing your system and easing tension on staff.

A whole team of specialists 

One of the many benefits of outsourcing your IT support is gaining access to an entire team of consultants, engineers and technicians. Available both in-house and remote, IT support teams boast a wealth of knowledge and expertise in a variety of different skill sets.

While some businesses choose to hire an in-house IT technician to manage their tech, turning to a professional management service is usually more cost-effective. An in-house technician will cost a business a full salary plus benefits, whereas outsourcing the management of your tech to a professional company will give you an entire team of experts for a fraction of the cost.

Train your staff

An IT support service can educate your staff and guide them through using your digital assets and infrastructure to its fullest potential. From using the cloud to identifying phishing emails, educating your staff can boost productivity, secure your system and ease tension within your team.

Keep your hardware and software up to date

Your programs that require manual updating will need to be checked regularly and maintained. In terms of your digital infrastructure, servers and standalone equipment such as computers and other hardware will also need regular updates. An IT management service can take care of this for you, giving you and your team the time to focus on growing your business.

An IT support service will also be able to order the latest digital infrastructure on behalf of your business and install it correctly. Keeping your digital assets and infrastructure up to date can also alleviate stress from staff who will benefit from fast, smooth-running technology.

Stabilise your Wi-Fi 

These days you’ll be hard-pressed to find a business that doesn’t rely on the internet in its day-to-day operations. However, you would be surprised by the issues many businesses can encounter with their internet connection. Connectivity issues can interfere with your operations and lead to extended downtime.

While Wi-Fi can be less stable than a wired connection, it’s a lot more convenient. However, if you’re using a wireless network, it’s important to keep the connection stable to ensure business continuity and minimise downtime. An IT support service can take care of your internet for you and depending on the size of your business, can make sure you have a connection most suitable for your setup. Are you located in a large, multi-story centralised office? Or is your office a small room in the centre of a bustling rural town? Whatever your situation, an IT support company will be able to analyse the needs of you and your business and find a stable connection that best suits you. In the event of a disruption, they will also work tirelessly to get you and your team back online.

How do I find IT support?

While you’ll have no trouble finding an IT support service, narrowing down your options and finding the best possible service to suit your needs may be a little more difficult. To start off, try typing a few keywords and your location into your favourite search engine. You might try ‘IT Support Bristol’ or ‘IT Support London’. Once you’ve found a few local services, it will be easy enough to narrow down your choices. Make sure you look at the services they are offering, and when approaching companies to take note of how well you gel with their team.

Perhaps most pertinent, an IT support service should be flexible. Most services will offer a variety of different service plans with affordable pricing plans that are often paid monthly. Starting at a simple break-fix solution, you could also opt for a fully managed IT service that covers all manners of support services. A high quality, professional IT company will tailor their services and solutions to the needs of you and your business, so it’s important to watch out for overselling or complicated jargon.

Do I need IT Support?

These days businesses both big and small are turning to managed IT support. From internet connectivity to maintaining your digital infrastructure, there’s no denying the benefits of outsourcing the management of your tech to a dedicated service. If you’re hoping to boost productivity and maintain continuity in your day-to-day operations, then hiring a professional IT service can help you get there.
