 Here are some key terms commonly used in data pipelines 1. Data Sources Definition: Points where data originates (e.g., databases, APIs, files, IoT devices). Examples: Relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), APIs, cloud storage (S3), streaming data (Kafka), and on-premise systems. 2. Data Ingestion Definition: The process of importing or collecting raw data from various sources into a system for processing or storage. Methods: Batch ingestion, real-time/streaming ingestion. 3. Data Transformation Definition: Modifying, cleaning, or enriching data to make it usable for analysis or storage. Examples: Data cleaning (removing duplicates, fixing missing values). Data enrichment (joining with other data sources). ETL (Extract, Transform, Load). ELT (Extract, Load, Transform). 4. Data Storage Definition: Locations where data is stored after ingestion and transformation. Types: Data Lakes: Store raw, unstructured, or semi-structured data (e.g., S3, Azure Data Lake).

PhoneGap platform top details you need to develop mobile apps: part-1

There are many smartphone platforms on the market: Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, Nokia, the Windows 7 Phone, and WebOS. Newer platforms are on the rise as well, such as Samsung's Bada and Meego.

Why PhoneGap You Need


The development of mobile applications increasing day by day, so you need one solution. That is single platform.

History of Operating system


  • In the year 2000, we saw a similar situation in the desktop world. We had Microsoft Windows, Apple's Mac, and various versions of Linux and UNIX. 
  • At that time, it was difficult to build products that would run on all these platforms. The resulting fragmentation was often solved via in-house solutions by building frameworks in C++, with Operating System (OS)-specific modules abstracted.
  • Fortunately, Sun's Java came to the rescue and provided us with a common platform on which to build. With Java's build-once-and-run-anywhere strategy, building desktop products had become a breeze.
  • Between 2004 and 2008, the developer community saw a different kind of fragmentation; this time, it took place in the browser world. It was a fragmentation involving the very popular Internet Explorer 6 vs. Firefox and Safari—then, Chrome and other browsers came out of the woodwork, causing further fragmentation.

Story of PhoneGap

Many companies that want to develop mobile applications for multiple platforms either have their own web services or rely on other web services. While PhoneGap can work for standalone mobile applications, it is very well-suited for mobile applications that make use of web services. 

Web service is a technology useful for machine to machine communication.

The reason for this is that PhoneGap applications are primarily web applications that are augmented with device features. Think about a Flickr web application that has access to a device's camera or Google Maps application, which, in turn, has access to a GPS. Another example is Foursquare, which has access to your GPS, as well as your phone's address book.

Single platform and you can develop any app.

This more or less means that a majority of PhoneGap-based applications will access web services using JavaScript. This makes it important for developers using PhoneGap to have a handle on using web services.
