You might have already seen a lot of Perl vs Python stuff. So I’m telling you in advance that I’ve too have read them all, and what you’re going to read here would be completely different than what you already have.
Firstly, let me start by saying that Perl and Python are great languages. But they have their own differences, which is precisely why we have two different languages. If they were the same, why have two different languages at all?
The people who are biased against a language are the one who try to write Python in Perl or Perl in Python. They want Perl to work like Python or vice versa. And if you’re intelligent enough, you’ll quickly understand that there is no point in having them both work in the exact same way. Continue reading “Perl vs Python – The Final Battle”

On keyboards, you often come across the term, “weighted hammer action.” This means that the keyboard feels just like a real piano. Actually, what you’re looking at is technically a digital piano, not just a keyboard.
So, why is it called weighted hammer action? On a real piano, the keys are connected to a hammer mechanism. When you press a key, a hammer is launched which strikes the string, setting it into vibration. When the vibration of the string is transmitted to the piano’s body, you hear a loud sound.

Piano is a keyboard instrument, but not all keyboards are pianos.
A keyboard:
- Has a soft touch keyboard. This means that the keys don’t require you to apply a lot of force.
- Are velocity sensitive. The faster your press the keys, the louder the sound. This is how you control dynamics.
- Has a lot of instrument voices, including the piano. However, the piano sound is not very authentic when compared to the real one. But it’s excellent for popular music likes blues, jazz and rock.
- Normally has 61 keys.
A piano, on the other hand: Continue reading “The Difference Between a Piano and a Keyboard”

Eleven2 is offering a year of shared hosting at just $11.11. I just signed up, maybe you should too!
I was hosted with a company called SharkSpace, which was taken over by Eleven2. I paid a visit to the new customer center at Eleven2, wherein I found out about this cool offer. I jumped on it.
So, right now, I have two accounts with them. One is my old SharkSpace one, and this is the new one I just bought. I’ll get started with it once my domain’s DNS propagates.
You might already have a hosting. However, if you’re an internet or an affiliate marketer, you’d most probably have more than one hosting account. It helps keep the clutter down. And for $11.11, there’s nothing to lose.
Once again, click here to check out the offer.

There are a lot of good tutorials online for Java. However, a lot of times, you don’t want a tutorial on how to accomplish a specific task. Rather, you want to learn the language and its features in a systematic manner.

First, a little bit about me
I’ve been playing guitar for about 2.4 years. I’m starting out on violin. I owned a mini keyboard since I was a kid, and have had a crack at it too. However, I’ve not taken any formal lessons on the keyboard, but I am planning on doing so, and I have indeed read method books on keyboard/piano techniques.

I did not plan on including this section initially. Not because it’s irrelevant or bad. On the contrary, it’s the greatest powerful technique you will possess once you master it. The main problem lies in mastering it.
It’s not difficult. It just requires you to be open-minded, and do things you’ve been advised against all along. Moreover, it’s not a very concrete tactic that everyone will be able to apply instantly. Continue reading “PowerBlogging – Untapped Difficult Creativity”
