Pandas DataFrames are data structures that hold data in two dimensions, similar to a table in SQL or an Excel spreadsheet, but faster and more powerful. They have rows and columns and also have labels corresponding to these rows and columns.  DataFrames are an invaluable tool that form the bedrock of machine learning, data science, […]

The tabular structures in the Python pandas library are also termed DataFrames.  These structures represent the rows and columns using labels. A row label is called an index, and a column label is called a column index/header. DataFrames are created by filtering and manipulating large datasets. But these processed DataFrames have the same index as […]

Command-Line Interfaces are the most straightforward interfaces, with their use reaching back decades around when the first modern computers were built.  Although Graphical User Interfaces have become commonplace, CLIs continue to be used today. They facilitate several Python operations, such as systems administration, development, and data science.  If you’re building a command-line app, you will […]

Long gone are the days when simple server security solutions were enough to maintain a relatively safe system. As the sophistication of cyberattacks increases, so too must our ability to defend ourselves against them. Instead of individual computers, cybercriminals aim for entire networks and organizations – instead of DDoSing the central server, they exploit vulnerabilities […]

When working with databases, the question of whether to use Structured Query Language (SQL) or Object Relational Mapping (ORM) comes up frequently. Because developers need to maintain the chain of trust between various systems and services ORM is often the best option, relying less on the developer’s knowledge of SQL.  When building web applications developers can […]
