Developing Android Apps with Kotlin, developed by Google together with Udacity, is our newly-released, free, self-paced online course. You'll learn how to build Android apps using industry-standard tools and libraries in the Kotlin programming language.

Android development fundamentals are taught in the context of an architecture that provides the scaffolding for robust, maintainable applications. The course covers why and how to use Android Jetpack components such as Room for databases, Work Manager for background processing, the Navigation component, and more. You'll use popular community libraries to simplify common tasks such as Glide for image loading, Retrofit for networking, and Moshi for JSON parsing. The course teaches key Kotlin features such as coroutines to help you write your app code more quickly and concisely.unity

Probably the largest hurdle when learning any new programming language is simply knowing where to get started. This is why we, Chris and Susan, decided to create this series about Python for Beginners!

Even though we won’t cover everything there is to know about Python in the course, we want to make sure we give you the foundation on programming in Python, starting from common everyday code and scenarios. At the end of the course, you’ll be able to go and learn on your own, for example with docs, tutorials, or books.

This site lets you redact parts of an image by adding a blurred, pixelated or black box to any area of an image.

There's no need to open up an image editor to redact parts of an image you don't want to be visible, this web tool makes it quick and painless.

The Redact site is simple to use. Upload, paste or copy an image into the box then click and drag to outline the area of the image you want to redact. Double click inside the box to cycle through blur, pixelated and black out effects. If you keep double clicking on the image, you can choose an oval shape instead of a box to redact the image.

You can select multiple areas on an image to be redacted and use a different type (blur, pixelate, black out) for each area.

The settings button reveals a slider to change the level of concealment.

Any images uploaded to Redact are not sent to or stored on a server, everything works within your local browser, which means you can also use it offline.

No one likes to do things the hard way, which is why we have keyboard shortcuts! We’re going to look at the shortcuts you can use in Google Sheets to save yourself some time.

By no means is this a complete list of all keyboard shortcuts available in Google Sheets. We’ve limited our list to those that are more generally useful. There are plenty more you can explore if you can’t find what you’re looking for in this guide.

To open a list of keyboard shortcuts in Google Sheets, press Ctrl / (Windows and Chrome OS), Cmd / (macOS) If you want to see the complete list, check out the Google Sheets support page.

Keyboard shortcuts are the best way to speed up and increase productivity for any task, as they limit your time spent opening menus and settings. Luckily, Google Chrome has a myriad of them designed to increase efficiency browsing the Internet.

By no means is this a complete list of all the keyboard shortcuts available in Google Chrome. We’ve tried to keep the list more generally useful shortcuts. There are plenty more for you to explore if you can’t find what you’re looking for in this guide on the Google Chrome support page.

SharpKeys is a Registry hack that is used to make certain keys on a keyboard act like other keys. For example, if you accidentally hit Caps Lock often, you could use this utility to map Caps Lock to a Shift key or even turn it off completely. This official release includes support for up to 104 mappings, an extensive list of available keys, and a “Type Key” option to help when managing mappings. As it relies on internal support within Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 you must be running one of these OS’s for this Registry hack to work.

With the release of version 3.9, I’ve recompiled the most recent code that has been posted to the GitHub project. This version includes some bug fixes and removes support for triple-byte keys that Windows doesn’t support (including hardware keys from HP and Lenovo.)

As always, I encourage anyone interested in working on the code to visit http://www.github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys for more project changes.map

Do you need to extract text from images, videos or PDF? If yes, then the Copyfish free OCR software is for you. Common reasons to extract text from images are to google it, store it, email it or translate it. Until now, your only option was to retype the text. Copyfish is soooo much faster and more fun. “Images” come in many forms: photographs, charts, diagrams, screenshots, PDF documents, comics, error messages, memes, Flash – and Youtube movies.

Full stack developer and teacher, Nick Janetakis, says the Amazon Basics keyboard is one of his favorite general purpose/programming keyboards. "It hits all the major points that make a keyboard good and it also happens to be only $14," he writes.

Google Calendar users have been receiving increasing amounts of spam in the form of calendar invitations. Changing a few settings can stop the flow.

Spammers are scouring the internet for Gmail addresses and using them to add false events to Google Calendar. Gmail, Calendar, Google Drive, Google Photos, Google Translate, and other Google services are integrated with each other, making it easy for a spammer to send messages that trigger a Google Calendar invitation that appears as an event in Google Calendar.

Thankfully changing a few settings in Google Calendar should stop them from appearing. There are two parts to stopping Calendar spam, preventing Google Calendar from automatically adding invitations, and stopping events that are sent to you through Gmail.

Thanks to PC gaming, fancy mice with high with DPI sensors and tactile mechanical keyboards have become a lot more popular. Yet when it comes to productivity, Logitech’s MX-series mice are pretty much unmatched, nd with the new MX Master 3, Logitech has propelled its flagship mouse into a class of its own.

That’s because Logitech might have just perfected the scroll wheel with the MX Master 3. On previous MX mice, Logitech added the ability for the mouse wheel to spin freely, which made it easy to scroll through long documents super quickly. However, it seems Logitech wasn’t quite satisfied with those wheels, as spinning them sometimes felt rough and often caused the whole mouse to vibrate.pc

Flutter has been gaining popularity as a mobile development SDK since its debut in late 2018, and with the addition of web as a target, this excellent SDK is now is now available for web developers to create stunning high-quality web experiences that take full advantage of the latest web APIs.

In this article we‘ll look at how to create a simple web page with Flutter for Web that consists of a basic layout, some text and images, and a few scroll animations for added effect. As a quick example it won’t likely win any UX design challenges, but it gets the job done for demonstration purposes.test flutter

Icon design can be hard to get right. Creating a set of unified icons that compliment each other can be very challenging. The best designers are able to even add personality to an icon set to match the tone of the project.

In this post, we wanted to share some of the best sites to download beautiful free icon designs. Some incredible designers have poured a lot of love and care into these icon sets and have made them available for free.

We are in a time where it’s necessary to develop in both mobile and web for your software. However, maintaining three different codebases for iOS, Android, and Web development results in immense time strain when in most cases you are developing the exact same solution. This has lead to the rise in cross-platform development tools that have traditionally used Javascript to develop apps that utilize Web Views to give native-esque experience. However, a relatively new player which came out of beta earlier this year is Google’s Flutter Framework.javascript flutter

De kwaliteit van led-verlichting heeft een vogelvlucht gemaakt, productieprocessen worden verbeterd en steeds hogere eisen worden er aan verlichting gesteld. Des te meer dat het verschil tussen kwaliteit steeds zichtbaarder wordt. Zo ook een onderwerp die steeds vaker aan bod komt, het flikkeren van verlichting, oftewel waarom knippert led-verlichting soms, waarom gebeurt het en wat is er tegen te doen?

Het fenomeen van knipperend licht is niets nieuws voor de verlichtingsindustrie. De specifieke kenmerken van led-verlichting bieden echter enkele unieke uitdagingen. In ons artikel over dimmen kwam hierin naar voren dat led-verlichting van nature knippert omdat stroom nooit constant is, led-verlichting knippert daarom op zo’n frequentie waarbij het niet door het menselijk oog te herkennen valt.
