Have you ever wondered why some apps feel unforgettable while others fade into the background? It’s not just about clean layouts or pixel-perfect UI anymore. We’re entering a new era—from UI (User Interface) to XI (eXperiential Interface)—where design isn’t only about how something looks, but about how it makes you feel and act. Why UI…
I started my foundation phase on August 11, with the goal of building comfort in scripting, querying, and managing environments. Over the past 7 weeks, I’ve explored Linux, Cloud, SQL, and built my first ETL pipeline. Each week had its own focus, and I’ve documented everything both on Hashnode and GitHub. 🔹 Week 1: Linux…
Multithreading: In Java, multithreading is a programming concept where two or more parts of a program (called threads) execute concurrently to maximize CPU utilization. A thread is the smallest unit of a process. So, when we use multithreading, a single program (process) can perform multiple tasks at the same time. Key Points about Multithreading in…
This project demonstrates a simple real-time data pipeline that streams live cryptocurrency prices from the Binance API, publishes them to a Kafka topic (hosted on Confluent), consumes them with a Kafka consumer, and stores the results into a PostgreSQL database (hosted on Aiven). It’s a hands-on learning project for integrating streaming platforms with databases, ideal…
