Big Data Approach for Software Development

This post of mine was recently published on a German Magazine.



There is a lot of talk happening around the big data world about how new technological capabilities can be a win-win situation for both the firms and the consumers. For firms, depending upon the reliance and fairness, using customers’ behavioral data to meet their needs and achieve valuable, sustainable, long-term relationships—is turning into an increasingly important differentiator in the competitive market. Big data is helping the firms in truly developing a deep understanding of their customers, firms are trying to take complete advantage of it in order to satisfy their customers’ needs and wants in a fashion that meets, if not exceeds, expectations in all major areas such as product experience, quality, service, communication etc. to name a few.

Till now in this post, I’ve given you the glimpse of few of the most significant advantages of big data, and keeping those in mind I would now want to turn your attention to a completely new direction, which would be Software Development. Having worked in Information Technology industry for several years, I always wished to make the software development process as efficient as possible, and it simply doesn’t just end at the development stage, but exists throughout the software’s lifecycle. So, with this post I’m trying to mix two separate concepts into my imaginative and wishful thinking for software development approach.

Difference Between SMTP and POP

There are two standards currently used for most e-mail sent today. SMTP stands for simple mail transfer protocol. POP is an acronym Post Office Protocol. Though it may sound confusing, the difference is not hard to understand. POP is a protocol for storage of email. SMTP is a protocol for sending and receiving.

To give a real-world illustration, SMTP would be like a letter carrier or mailman. He or she can deliver or pick up mail for transfer to another location. POP is like a mailbox or Post Office Box. It is the location the mail is delivered to and where it stays until the recipient is ready to read it. Outgoing mail can also be put in the mailbox.

POP was first designed in 1984 with the idea of allowing users to access an e-mail server, retrieve messages to a local folder located on the computer, and then go offline for reading and writing replies. In part, the offline capabilities were developed at a time when logging on to the Internet was relatively expensive and users were charged per minute. Currently, most of those using the POP standard are using the third version, developed in 1988. This is often referred to as POP3.

OFFERING TECHNICAL SERVICES TO HELP THE UNDER PRIVILEGE CHILDREN

For long I’m trying to do my best to help the under privilege children here in India, but there are so many things that can be done and yet we shy away from them. So, I’ve decided to come out of the shell and to help the poor children in whatever possible way I can. I did a bit of thinking and finally I’ve come up with an idea.




MY IDEA:
Since, I’m a Software Engineer I’ve decided to use my skills in that area to help the poor. I will be offering following services to the customers on a nominal price-
  •       Testing the web-applications. 
  •       Writing testing articles.
  •     Writing other technical articles like product reviews, research articles etc.
  •       Testing mobile applications.
  •     Doing website reviews.
  •     Website/application usability review and feedbacks.
  •      Feedback/reviews about the blog templates.
  •     Advertising and promoting firms/products on my blog.
  •    Providing technical resources like e-books, webcasts, links etc related to Software Testing, SQL, RDBMS, C++, Unix.
All the money made by providing above services to various customers will be used to help the poor and the under privileged children in India. Once I get the money, I’ll be posting pictures and videos on my blogs showcasing the money has been spent in the correct way for the needy.


HOW YOU CAN HELP:
I know every one of you want to see a beautiful world out there, and everyone wants to do its bit to make the world better. So, it’s quite simple to be part of this phenomenon either you avail my services or you help me spread the word. See if you want any of the above services or just see how you can get me clients.

It’s just the beginning and I’m sure there will be several others who will be soon joining me. I truly believe there will be several others who will figure out their own ways to help the under privilege children.
LET’S NOT JUST HOPE IT TO WORK, RATHER LET’S MAKE IT WORK!!
