Top 8 TensorFlow Courses for Beginners and Experienced in 2025 - Best of Lot

If you are curious about Artificial intelligence, Data Science, and Machine learning, then I am sure you have heard about TensorFlow, Google's machine learning API, which they have used to develop the RankBrain algorithm for Google Search. TensorFlow is one of the most popular machine learning API, which allows you to automate several real-world tasks; for example, you can use it for image detection. In fact, a Japanese farmer turned programmer used it to detect the best quality Cucumber, which only his father and mother can do with his years of experience. That's the power of machine learning, which is now available to everyone because of TensorFlow.

Top 10 Free Courses to Learn Docker in 2025 - Best of Lot [UPDATED]

I have been answering a lot of questions about what programmers should learn in 2025, and Docker Container is one such skill. Docker and containers are a whole new way of developing and delivering applications and IT infrastructure. In this post, I'll talk about what Docker is and why a programmer should learn Docker. In today's world of massive scalability, where every single mobile app and web application needs to support billions of users (think of YouTube, WhatsApp, Uber), software application development and deployment have become increasingly complex. Gone are the days when the software is developed by a small team of onshore people.

Top 5 Java Design Pattern Courses for Experienced Java Developers in 2025 - Best of Lot

Hello guys, today, we'll talk about design patterns and some of the best online courses to learn design patterns in Java from scratch. If you are wondering what is a design pattern and why Java developers should learn them? then let me give you a brief overview. Design patterns are nothing but a tried and tested solutions of common programming problems, for example, the creational design patterns deal with the problems of object creation. They exist from a long time but made popular by famous Gang of four of Erich Gamma, John Vlissides, Ralph Johnson and Richard Helm in their classic 1994 book Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, also known as GOF design patterns. This book documented 24 design patterns which are reusable to solve common programming problems. 

Top 10 Eclipse Plugins for Java and Spring Boot Developers

There is no doubt that Eclipse is one of the most popular IDEs for Java development, and what makes Eclipse great is nothing but Plugins. There are hundreds of Eclipse plugins for different kinds of tasks and integration with other essential tools like there are plugins to download code from Github, SVN, CVS, etc. There are planning to use Maven or Gradle from Eclipse. There are specific plugins for Java development, Python Development, creating Spring-based Java applications and for creating Android apps from Eclipse itself. I have seen productivity improvement by just installing the right kind of plugins. 

Top 10 Java 11 Certification Mock Tests and Practice Tests [4 Free OCPJP 11 Sample Questions]

The latest Java certification is now out, the Java 11 Certification. Ever since Java 9 and Java10 were out, programmers were speculating that what will happen to Java certification now? Will, there is, be a new Java 9 certification or Java 10 certification? Will there be a new Java certification every 6 months, following the Java SE release cycle? Well, Thankfully, nothing of that sort happened; a new Java certification every six months would have been a crazy idea, not just for students and programmers but also to all the parties involved, including Oracle itself.  Now the big question is what has been changed in Java 11 certification, and should you go for OCAJP 8 or OCAJP 11 certification?

Top 5 Websites to Learn SQL Online for FREE - Best of Lot

SQL is one of the most important skills for any programmer be it a Java, C++, Python, JavaScript, or Ruby developer.

Top 5 Books to Learn Java Programming from Scratch in 2025 - Best of Lot

I receive lots of emails and Facebook chats related to Java, but one of the most common questions which I have mostly asked is, which is the best book to learn Java? I have just started learning Java, Could you please recommend a good core Java book to me? After answering in one word too many of those readers and new Java developers as "Head First Java," I thought to write this blog post, Why? because some of them came back to me and asked me, "Can you please recommend a serious Java book, not the comics?" Well, I didn't like that comment, but then I thought it's natural that not everyone will find "Head First Java" as useful as I have always found.

Why I Let CodeRabbit Be My First Line of Code Review (And You Should Too)

Hello guys, in software engineering, code review is both sacred and tedious. We all know it’s one of the most effective quality gates: bugs are caught early, knowledge is shared, and code consistency is enforced. But the reality is many reviews get bogged down in nitpicks, inconsistent feedback, or review fatigue. Reviewers get overwhelmed. Authors get frustrated. The process slows down. That’s why I recently added CodeRabbit to my workflow — and over months of using it, it's become my first line of defense in every pull request. It doesn’t replace human judgment, but it elevates the starting point of review. 

How I Use CodeRabbit to Level Up My Team’s Code Reviews (and How You Can Too)

Hello guys, while a lot of people are saying AI is making coding easy and there is a lot of productivy gain can be achieved by using AI for coding, I am putting my money on AI driven code review because of what I have seen. While AI can write 1000 line of code in 1 minutes but how many bugs are in their is not easy to figure out, unless you have great code reviewers and code review process but that has its own challenges. Code reviews are supposed to make code better. In reality they’re often slow, inconsistent, and noisy — especially as teams grow. To solve that problem, I started using an AI assistant, CodeRabbit, to handle the repetitive parts of reviews so humans could focus on design, correctness, and trade-offs. 

Top 7 Books to Learn and Master Programming and Coding in 2025 - Must Read, Best of Lot

Coding is an integral part of Programming, and we all somehow learned to code by following examples here and there. Yes, I am talking about both self-taught programmer and Computer Science Graduates. You can learn Coding easily if you are dedicated, but what is more difficult is to write good code. You can easily find programmers in Java, C++, Ruby, or Python, but finding programmers, who are also a good coder is very difficult. Some universities have a good curriculum and practical classes to teach coding better than others, but most of these great coders are self-taught Programmers, who learned by reading books, joining online courses, and doing things on their own.
