How to Check an MD5 Checksum of torrent file on desktop/laptop (PC/MAC) in 2023

 MD5 verification of downloaded media or files.

Description:

When downloading files for patching or drivers you may need to verify the file is complete.  This can be done by verifying the MD5 checksum from the steps below on your PC or Mac workstation.

Solution:

Windows

1. Open the Windows command line.
   Press Windows + R, type cmd and press Enter.
   Alternative: You can also open command prompt or Windows PowerShell from the Start menu, of course.

2. Go to the folder that contains the file whose MD5 checksum you want to check and verify.

   Command: Type cd followed by the path to the folder.
   Tip: You can drag and drop a folder from Windows Explorer to insert the path.

3. Type the command below

   certutil -hashfile <file> MD5

   Replace <file> with the filename.
   
   Tip: You can use the Tab key to have Windows complete the file name.
   Example to get the MD5 hash for the file Example.txt:

   certutil -hashfile Example.txt MD5

4. Press Enter.
   Compare the resulting checksum to what you expect:
   

​​​​​Mac

1. Open Terminal.
2. Navigate to the folder that contains the file whose MD5 checksum you want to verify.
3. You can open Terminal right at a folder from Finder.
4. Type md5 followed by the filename:

   md5 <file>

   Dragging and dropping: You can also type md5, then drag and drop the file you want to check onto the Terminal window.

5. Press Enter.

Programming Languages vs Scripts

What’s the difference between Scripting and Programming Languages?

Harsh Truth is Basically, all scripting languages are programming languages. 

So HTML is NOT Programming Language is Wrong statement and so my Clickbait thumbnail I posted above.

The theoretical difference between the two is that scripting languages do not require the compilation step and are rather interpreted. For example, normally, a C program needs to be compiled before running whereas normally, a scripting language like JavaScript or PHP need not be compiled.

While classifying a language as scripting language or programming language, the environment on which it would execute must be taken into consideration. The reason why this is important is that we can design an interpreter for C language and use it as a scripting language, and at the same time, we can design a compiler for JavaScript and use it as a programming language. A live example of this is V8, the JavaScript engine of Google Chrome, which compiles the JavaScript code into machine code, rather than interpreting it.

Examples

Some scripting languages traditionally used without an explicit compilation step are JavaScript, PHP, Python, VBScript.

Some programming languages traditionally used with an explicit compilation step are C, C++.

Applications of Scripting Languages :

1. To automate certain tasks in a program

2. Extracting information from a data set

3. Less code intensive as compared to traditional programming languages

Applications of Programming Languages :

1. They typically run inside a parent program like scripts

2. More compatible while integrating code with mathematical models

3. Languages like JAVA can be compiled and then used on any platform

There are more then one reasons for you to want to open any website as if you are opening on your mobile devices. It doesn't matter whether its Android or iOS. For Example,

• To use less Data as Mobile sites use less data.
• Some mobile sites are feature rich then their desktop counterpart, such as Instagram(I've heard so but not so sure).
• Some special offers such this available that can be only accessed from mobile.
• For Developers, to see how their website behaves on various mobile devices but i'm sure they use this feature all the time. After all nobody will buy all the devices just to check how their website will look on each every website.
• For Fun, you just want to see how particular website will look like on mobile.

So, finally its time to perform the trick.

So, That's it guys. I know it looks tricky but give it a shot and you'll find it super easy.

Web Devlopment: Things you should know

Hello guys, 

A lot of you might wanna become a good web developer despite being from totally irreverent stream.
Just like me!! :-P

I'm gonna tell you about how to begin with web development even if you are not from IT field... 

Eligibility,
All you need for learning web development is just Confidence and just believe in your self

Things required,
1. Internet Connectivity(not always)
2. Smart phone or Laptop

Learning Order,


1) HTML

HTML 5

First thing you should learn is HTML.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It was invented by physicist Tim Berners-Lee in 1980. HTML 5 is latest version of HTML.

2) CSS 

CSS 3

Next is CSS. CSS Stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It was initialised on 17 December, 1996 by Håkon Wium Lie. He is also CTO at Opera Software. CSS enables developers to set styles for their website.


3) JavaScript

Most important and also difficult part is Java for all the newbies. Java enables all kinds animation and most features of website. Modern websites wouldn't been developed if JAVA wasn't there.

All though for the web development part you need learn JavaScript which comparatively simpler.


All the above mentioned Scripts work on the client side, i.e. on the device(s) of website users.

You will need to manage your website on your part, eg; adding and changing content or removing it. Script used for this purpose is called Server Side script. There are many scripts but my favourite is PHP.


4) PHP

PHP stands for Personal Home Page, all though its an old name. PHP means Hypertext Preprocessor. It was created in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf. Although it was released in 1995. 

(PS: Face book is developed in PHP)   

By now you should have a good idea about 'What to learn?' but the one question still remains unanswered, 'Where to learn?'

There are two choices,

1. SoloLearn

Sololearn provides free learning modules in multiple categories of information technology such HTML, CSS, PHP, C#, C++, JS, etc.

Features

• Available Anytime & Anywhere for FREE!
• Learn on the web and on the go. 
• Available on all major devices and platforms. 
• Always pick up where you left off
• More simple and enjoyable than ever!

2) w3schools

Features

W3Schools is optimised for learning, testing, and training. Examples might be simplified to improve reading and basic understanding. Tutorials, references, and examples are constantly reviewed to avoid errors, but we cannot warrant full correctness of all content.

'WHICH TO CHOOSE?'

Answer is completely up to you,

w3schools provide nice knowledge and they are specialised in web development. On the other hand, SoloLearn covers many categories besides web development.

Both them provides emulator to taste your codes which will help you in practise coding you have learned.

HTML, CSS and JS does not require any additional software, you can do all the scripting in simple notepad. But PHP requires some softwares to be installed on your PC. Although initially you can practise on either of the above.

Personally my favourite is SoloLearn as it is best suited for newbies like us. It is easy to use and enables to learning offline. There are google achievements and leader boards also, which makes learning fun.

But if you are serious about being web developer and want to learn web development only then w3schools are the best experts you can get.

There are other options such Udemy and Udacity are available as well.
