The Internet has become an integral part of our lives, transforming the way we communicate, work, and access information. From the early days of Web 1.0, where static websites provided basic information, to the dynamic and interactive Web 2.0 era that brought social media, online collaboration, and user-generated content, the Internet has continuously evolved. Now, a new paradigm shift is on the horizon - Web 3.0. In this blog, we will explore the exciting possibilities and potential of Web 3.0, a decentralized and user-centric vision of the future internet.

• Defining Web 3.0: Decentralization and Interoperability

Web 3.0, often referred to as the “Decentralized Web,” represents a departure from the centralized systems that dominate the current internet landscape. It is built on principles of decentralization, interoperability, and enhanced user control. Unlike Web 2.0, which relies heavily on centralized platforms and intermediaries, Web 3.0 envisions a distributed network where users have greater ownership and control over their data and digital identities.

• Blockchain Technology: The Backbone of Web 3.0

At the core of Web 3.0 lies blockchain technology, the decentralized ledger system that underpins cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Blockchain provides a transparent, tamper-proof, and secure way to record and verify digital transactions. With Web 3.0, blockchain expands its scope beyond financial applications, enabling the development of decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs).

Gorilla is a web toolkit for the Go programming language. The gorilla/mux implements a request router and dispatcher for matching incomings requests to the respective handlers.

One of the cool feature it has is that the registered URLs can be built or reversed which helps maintaining the references to resources and nested routes are only tested if the parent route matches. This is useful to define groups of routes that share common conditions like a host, a path prefix or other repeated attributes.

Well, Apache Kafka is one of the best pub-sub messaging system used widely across several technology’s based industries. Originated at LinkedIn and was open sourced in early 2011.

Ok, so what so special about Apache Kafka ? Here are the few things Kafka is meant to handle.

• High throughput to support large volume event feeds.
• Real time processing of enormous amount of data.
• Support large data backlogs to handle periodic ingestion from offline systems.
• Support low - latency delivery of the messages compared to other messaging systems
• High Availability, Fault Tolerance.

Issues with EVM ( Electronic Voting Machine ) have been the talk of the town for quite a while in India nowadays. Political parties have been taking about going back to voting mechanism using ballot boxes, wherein there would be very less possibility of non-legitimate voting. EVMs are prone to hacking, untrusted votes, digital errors as explained by these political parties.

I ask you political parties this, why ballot boxes or directly “why papers” ? Why cut trees to achieve your goal considering the fact that, we are living in the - digital era with brilliant minds across the country to make things possible using technology.

The recent government (people too) has been keen towards its programme of Digital India.

I recently migrated my image gallery to Fancybox3 from Fancybox2. Fancybox3 has some of the advantages over its previous version. The important one I like is the fact that you have to code less.

• Import the javascript
• Wrap the images with class and the work is done.
• It supports the image security too. Read on →
