Google domains logo There are mainly two domain registrars which offer great service. One is Amazon Route 53 and Google Domains . Which one of them should you choose? Amazon Route 53 logo I will recommend that you go for Google Domains . See, the thing is that when you get a domain name then you also need to get nameservers and these nameservers also cost money. Google domains offers you domain name registration as well as their nameservers for a fixed yearly price. And boy, are their nameservers amazing! 😀 Amazon Route 53 has a separate fee for registration of domain name (which is around $12) and a separate monthly fee for using their nameservers. This gets expensive really quick and it makes you feel somewhat uneasy that you need to pay every month as well as pay a $12 yearly fees for your domain name. Also, Amazon Route 53 interface is really scary. :O I will only recommended it for professional web developers who want to host their websites and apps on Amazon...

Covert art of Bastion Hello, I will give a quick review of the game without any spoilers. This review is to help you decide whether you want to buy the game or not. Bastion is a game where you take control of the main character and explore different levels. This is an isometric game where you see the world in 2.5 D. The game has a very interesting story line. You have to be skilled with all the types of weapons you get because each one will have a purpose somewhere in the game. You also have to devise different strategies involving different types of weapons which the character can carry in order to defeat the bosses. The game has a leveling system but you do not have to do a lot of grinding in order to finish the game. Therefore, you can enjoy the story while being involved in it and not need to do a lot of hard work to advance. In my opinion, if you want to play a relaxing and story rich video game with innovative mechanics involving weapons then you should go for i...

Cover art of the book Hello, I will describe the book to you so that you can get a feel of how it is and it will help you to decide if you want to buy the book or not. I will not give any spoilers, promise. 🙂 I must admit that this is a relaxing read. There are elements of thrill and action here and there but overall it has a peaceful tone. Like, it describes how the character goes through his daily life where he studies or where he works. It describes his daily struggles trying to make ends meet while being very concerned about learning magic powers which have been named as ‘sympathy’ in the series. There is a clear distinction between people who know magic and who don’t. The magic users are generally shunned from society. The book describes romance between the character and his love interest. Here, I have to say that the writer has become a little too optimistic while portraying the relationship. The writer shifted a little too far from reality while d...

This is a simple flowchart for you to decide which web server you should choose. Veteran web developers may already know what works best for them. This is for beginner web developers or people just wanting to try web development. If you are having trouble deciding which web server to choose given all these options then this is the chart for you. I admit that there are many more services out there for example Google cloud, Microsoft Azure etc. But I am mentioning those services here which I have tried myself and can tell you that they are worth your money and time and that they will get the job done. Notice that many veterans and experts will tell you to go for Amazon Web Services. I will not recommend this if you are hosting a website for the first time or if you are unsure what Amazon Web Services really is. If you are not comfortable with FTP, SSH and Linux terminal then AWS (Amazon Web Services) is not for you. Heroku is good for hosting web apps and you do not need a lot ...

Cover art of the book Hey, I will try not to give you any spoilers. I read this sometime ago so my memory may not be very fresh about specific events and how they unfolded but hey, I am not even going to talk about the events of the book. I am just going to write a review which will help you decide whether you want to buy the book or not. The book gives some really gory details regarding physical situation of characters. The book portrays slum life very vividly and you will almost clench your face with disgust. But that is necessary to bring out the story the writer wants to portray. The action part is good. You can expect some role playing game like powers and magic towards the end of the book. 😉 The romance part is heart wrenching, well, almost. Uh, no, it really is. You should read it if you want to witness some romance mixed in with the dark world of assassins, mages and kings. A substantial amount of politics is there in the story. Overall, I would recom...

With Adobe and Autodesk completely shifting their models to a subscription based service the software products which they offer are getting more and more expensive to use in the long run. There are open source alternatives to most of the software products which they offer and which provide similar functionality for free.  However, in schools and universities the students are taught the use of proprietary software products which cost a fortune to buy even if they are a one time purchase. When a small company (such as us) hire these students we find it difficult to buy the licenses of the software they are used to or teach them the use of open source software. Blender Logo (Open Source 3D modeling and animation software). Try it, you will love it. This hinders our ability to produce content. With open source software products offering similar capabilities as paid products one may wonder why schools and universities are so insistent on using the proprietary products for teac...
