  In the past, the creation of mobile apps required coding and programming experience. If you want to learn app development, the process of learning to code might take you a lot of time (ever heard of the   10,000-hour rule of mastery ?). In addition, the first time you use code to create native mobile apps, the results might not be up to professional standards. Thanks to modern tech, however, virtually anyone can now take an app idea and make it a reality without having to write a single line of code (yes, you heard that right). We live in an era with impressive drag-and-drop app creators that function as substitutes for conventional development. And, you don’t need any prior expertise or programming knowledge! Utilizing an app creator is fantastic because these platforms aren’t just for newcomers.  No-code solutions  are used by even seasoned app developers and corporate users. That’s because, in comparison to traditional development, building an  app without ...

  Knowing how the brain functions can help you perform better in life and design better learning resources. There’s a difference between knowing how or why something works and why you’re learning. Learning to learn. As the saying goes, give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish. It’s like getting to the root, deep into the operating system of learning itself. For many years, people thought the brain, or intelligence, was hardwired and mostly inherited, with a fixed number of neurons. But all of that changed when it became feasible to monitor the brain and see how it responded to what it saw and what it was asked to accomplish. This demonstrated that the brain may produce new  cells  not only in childhood but also in adulthood. This is not to say that some people aren’t “brighter” than others; it’s estimated that 50%/60% of IQ is genetic, but that assumes your brain can’t change. Think of your brain as being more elastic than you, well, think. Understanding how the brain wor...

Even though we haven’t quite reached the point where we can drive about in flying automobiles just yet, our society has made tremendous strides in becoming more technologically adept. Many people have taken it upon themselves to learn coding in a world where so many things are encoded in bits of data. From the alarm clock on your bedside table to the coffee machine in the kitchen, right down to the lights in your house, it is not an exaggeration to say that code makes up the building blocks of many of the things we use on a daily basis. Coding, in simpler terms, means feeding our commands into the computer in a language that the computer understands so that the computer can carry out the said command, and perform the task. Transistors serve as the figurative “brain” of a computer because they are the primary component used in the construction of both computers and artificial intelligence. As a result, the only languages that the computer can comprehend are “on” and “off,” which are con...
