When planning training, any person wants to get up-to-date knowledge ‘without water’ and various outdated information that will never be useful. The desire to gain quality knowledge and spend minimum time on it is understandable. Filio Force Canada experts have provided useful tips to help you learn efficiently and save a lot of time.
Practice, not abstract knowledge
Programming is an applied field. Reading and watching everything on the Internet is not learning. Even if you read the whole Wikipedia on this subject, you won’t become a programmer. Learning is when you solve concrete tasks, work with your brain and get practical skills. Programming theory is only the surface part of the iceberg. It is useless to save knowledge without practice. They disappear very quickly. Everyone who has once learnt programming can confirm this to you. The work on the training material for each passed topic should be completed by performing tasks.
And one more important point: before you start learning, you should choose a direction and language. A mistake will cost you many months of wasted effort.
Lost Time
To pause while reading a book, all we have to do is bookmark it. We can continue reading tomorrow or in a fortnight. The length of the pause doesn’t matter. This is not the case with programming.
Every next day should start with a repetition of what you have learnt. If you have learnt some material yesterday, it is enough just to run your eyes over the lesson and you can start the next one. In the case of a pause of several days to refresh the previous material will have to longer, and if the break is long, then a lot of things will be forgotten, and it will take a lot of time to repeat what you have learnt. Sometimes you almost have to learn everything from the beginning, said the managers of Filio Force company.
To avoid this, it is advisable to stick to a certain schedule and not to pause for more than a day or two. Initial lessons are easier, and they are usually completed in large numbers on a wave of enthusiasm. But when you get to serious topics, you should not overstretch your brain. Give it a rest, and tomorrow with renewed vigour continue learning. Besides, such overloads can negatively affect your motivation, and it is very necessary in this difficult business. It is important to understand that learning programming is not a sprint, but a marathon distance. You should distribute your forces correctly.
The main enemy
What can hinder your learning? First of all, your laziness. People are good at coming up with all sorts of excuses: that we have no inspiration, that the mood is not the same, that something else. The best solution to this problem is to make and stick to a study calendar. We went to school, sports section: you do not want to, but you have to go. The schedule itself disciplines, and over time, study sessions become a habit. Those who are not used to overcoming obstacles get off the track, but those who go all the way and do not give up, will definitely reach the goal. If you are used to finding solutions, you will succeed, summarised Filio Force development specialists. A programmer’s job is to solve some tasks. Once you have coped with a task, you will solve similar tasks easier and faster in the future. When you have enough experience to perform most tasks quickly, it means that you have become a professional.

AR-technologies: combining real and virtual worlds
Augmented Reality (AR) is an environment that augments the world around us in real time. It is created by projecting digital information (text, images, graphics, video) onto the screen of various devices. This adds artificial elements and new information to the real world. This is done using devices such as tablets or smartphones. Of course, software is also required.
Specialists from Filio Force Inc. talked about the development and application of AR technologies.
Complex site promotion = project development
Every business owner focuses their resources on making their business thrive, increasing sales and growing profits. If you are an e-commerce business, you have a website that is the storefront for your shop or service. Naturally, you want your product pages, services or articles to rank highly in search engine results. Therefore, your website needs comprehensive promotion. The main aspects of this are described by the specialists at Filio Force Inc.
PHP and Laravel. What it is and how it is used
Filio Force Inc. specialists use various modern IT technologies in their work. Today we will look at the programming language.
Machine learning. How it helps in life and business
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating systems that learn and evolve based on the data they receive. Self-driving cars and voice assistants on smartphones are technologies based on machine learning. Self-driving cars use computer vision technology. Voice assistants use speech and sound recognition technology.
SaaS Solutions. Benefits for users and developers
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a subscription-based software licensing model. The provider develops and maintains applications, programs, places them in the cloud and makes them available to the user. The customer pays for access and receives an out-of-the-box tool.
What PWA can do for your business
If your company is not present in the digital world, consider that no one knows about it. Nowadays, people look for almost all the information they need on the Internet. Therefore, if you want your business to be successful, you must have an online presence. This requires a website and preferably a mobile application that your customers can install on their smartphones. However, not all businesses can afford to develop both a website and an app. The solution is PWAs.
Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) are applications built using web technologies that can be installed and run on all devices from a single code base. This is the definition provided by Microsoft.
Code quality: automation of verification and tools
Good code is clean code. Code quality affects the quality of software, its safety, security, and reliability. It is also a parameter determining the level and professionalism of developers.
The important stage in the process of development of any software is code checking. To do it manually is labour-intensive, troublesome, long and, as the result, expensive. Automation of the processes makes life of engineers easier and raises the efficiency of the development process itself. A serious verification system is able to generate test logic and run tests by itself to identify errors.
Cybersecurity. Can you be hacked with ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model. It learns from massive amounts of data and uses contextual data to improve the quality of its responses. Why is ChatGPT so controversial? On the one hand, the chatbot is a useful online security tool, but at the same time, hackers and cybercriminals are already interested in it.
What is a PaaS platform?
PaaS – Platform-as-a-service. You don’t need to create your own solutions and tools to develop and use complex systems. You can use PaaS, which has everything you need. In the past, developers had to pick and buy a lot of different tools from different vendors. You had to maintain and integrate them, and they needed constant oversight. As the digital product develops, the number of tools used increases, and auxiliary solutions appear. As a result, everything becomes complex, and business processes become cumbersome and unmanageable.
Trends in e-Commerce
Mobile gadgets will dominate eCommerce.
This trend is supported by the increase in sales: in particular, in 2023, revenue from global retail sales through smartphones rose to 3.57 trillion dollars, compared with a “modest” 2.91 trillion dollars a year earlier. This is not surprising given that there are already 5.3 billion smartphone users worldwide, which is the vast majority of the world’s population.
ERP system implementation
ERP system or production resource planning system is a software that helps to keep records, plan and distribute all tangible and intangible resources of the company – finance, inventory, raw material stocks and even personnel. Thanks to a competent integrated approach it is possible to increase the productivity of the enterprise, reduce costs, reduce downtime, increase efficiency and, accordingly, profits. This is why such solutions are extremely popular. Implementation of ERP in production requires a careful and thoughtful approach, thorough preparation and readiness for changes on the part of both company management and all its employees.
