Introduction to Maven

-

Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Maven can manage a project's build, reporting, and documentation from a central piece of information, based on the concept of a project object model (POM).

What is Maven?

The meaning of the Maven is an accumulator of knowledge. Maven began for the Jakarta Turbine project in an attempt to simplify the build processes. The project with their own Ant build files is also slightly different. CVS was checked into by JARs.  To build standard way projects,  need a clear definition of what the project is consists of, an easy way to publish the project information, and also need a way to share the JRAs across several projects.
This is a tool that can be used for developing and also managing any Java-based project. Maven help java developers in an easy and general way to understand any Java-based project.

Maven's Objectives

The main goal in Maven is to allow the developers to comprehend the absolute state of a development effort in the least time period. To gain this goal, Maven has to deals with several areas of concern:
  • Need to make the build process an easy way
  • Need to provide uniform build system
  • Need to provide information in a quality project
  • Need to encourage better development practice.

Providing quality project information

Maven provides needed project information, and here one part is taken from your POM, and the other part is generated from your project source. 
For example, Maven can provide :
 
  • Change the log created directly from the source control
  • Sources that cross-referenced
  • Mail the lists managed by the project
  • The project used dependencies
  • Provide unit test reports including coverage

    • Maven also provides third-party code analysis products that add their report to the standard information given by Maven.

    Introduction to NoSQL

    What is NoSQL? 'NoSQL' database typically refers to the non-relational database. Most people say that 'NoSQL' stands for 'non SQL' and someone says that its stands 'not only SQL'. In NoSQL databases, data store in a format other than relational tables. Most people think that NoSQL databases don't store relationship data. Remember NoSQL databases can store relational data, but the way they store data is in a different way. In fact, storing data in a NoSQL database is easier than an SQL database because the related data doesn't have to be split between tables.  Within a single data structure, NoSQL data models allow data to be nested. After the introduction of the NoSQL databases, the cost of the storage rapidly decreased. The reason to introduce the NoSQL database is needed to reduce the data duplication and for complex, difficult-to-manage data models in a simple way. After the costs of storage decreased, the application needed to store data and

      JavaScript JavaScript(JS) is an  interrupted , lightweight, or just-in-time programming language with a first-class function. JS is well known for a scripting language in web pages, and also it may use in many non-browser environments such as Node.js, Apache CouchDB, and Adobe Acrobat. It's a program that runs a single thread by default and prototype-based, multi-paradigm, supporting object-oriented, imperative, declarative styles, and also it is a dynamic language. ECMAScript is the standard for javascript.  As I said earlier javaScript programs run using a single thread and in javaScript, there are ways to create new threads, and even though it's called a single thread language. JavaScript is a non-blocking I/O because it does not wait to get completed I/O operation and instead it continues to execute the program. JavaScript is asynchronous. The eventing system in javascript manages its asynchronous operations. Objects in JavaScript In JavaScript, all the objects are instan

    RESTful services REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer protocol. Resources-based - Things are built around resources or services. URI are resources identified. The same resource may be referred to by multiple URIs. To pass data used XML or JSON. Scalable, maintainable, and also lightweight. HTTP Verbs GET - to get  resource POST - to input new resource PUT - to replace an included resource DELETE - to remove a resource OPTIONS - to get allowed for all options HEAD - to get only the response header Koa - Next generation web framework for Node.js Introduction Koa is a new web framework design and developed by the same development team that, designed the Express. The aim of developing this framework is to develop a framework that is smaller and as well as more expressive and also for the robust foundation for web application and web API. By influencing to increase async functions, Koa allows trench callbacks and  slowly  increases error-handling as well. Koa doesn't allow to
