Technology Questions

• Intelligent Search and Siri- Intelligent Search is an excellent mechanism to learn user habits and act on that information- open apps before we need them, make recommendations on places we might like and guide us through our daily lives to make sure we’re where we need to be at the right time.
  Siri is a personal assistant to the users, able to create contextual reminders and search through photos and videos in new ways. Swiping right from the home screen also brings up a new screen that houses “Siri Suggestions,” putting favorite contacts and apps right on your fingertips, along with nearby restaurant and location information and important news.


• Deeper search capabilities can show results like sports scores, videos, and content from third-party apps, and you can even do simple conversions and calculations using the search tools on your iPhone or iPad.


• Many of the built-in apps have been updated.
  ✓ Notes includes new checklists and sketching features
  ✓ Maps now offers transit directions
  ✓ Mail allows for file attachments
  ✓ Apple Pay is being improved with the addition of store credit cards and loyalty cards
  ✓ Leading “Passbook” to be renamed to “Wallet” in iOS 9.


• San Francisco font, wireless CarPlay support


• An optional iCloud Drive app, built-in two-factor authentication and optional longer passwords for better security.


• Performance improvements

Generally a business analyst covers several stages in Software Development Life Cycle.

Like:  Client Consulting, Client Requirement Study, Planning for business needs, Business Requirement Documenting, Work on functional requirement, Prepare test data with inputs from end users, Document use case scenarios, Help Testing team with test plan and testing, Help end users with user acceptance testing UAT, Go live and post production support tasks.

You can prevent a class from overriding in C# by using the sealed keyword; whereas, the NotInheritable keyword is used to prevent a class from overriding in Visual Basic.

virtual LAN (VLAN) is any broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a computer network at the data link layer (OSI layer 2). LAN is the abbreviation for local area network and in this context, virtual refers to a physical object recreated and altered by additional logic.

VLANs work by applying tags to network packets and handling these tags in networking systems – creating the appearance and functionality of network traffic that is physically on a single network but acts as if it is split between separate networks. In this way, VLANs can keep network applications separate despite being connected to the same physical network, and without requiring multiple sets of cabling and networking devices to be deployed.

- The web pages that are loading slowly might be using heavy scripts or might be getting loaded on an overloaded server. 

- If the content like flash is used then the web page performs really slowly in comparison to the normal pages that get created. 

- If the caching is inactive on the web browsers and the same web page is getting loaded again and again then the performance get degraded.

- Web pages load slowly due to the content on that page as if it is text it loads faster then the site that is made up of large photographs. 

- It takes longer time for a picture to get rendered and the transmission time also remains higher then the text.

Use the "value" property.
var myValue = window.document.getElementById("MyTextBox").value;

There are mainly four type of JDBC drivers available. They are:

Type 1 : JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver - A JDBC-ODBC bridge provides JDBC API access via one or more ODBC drivers. Note that some ODBC native code and in many cases native database client code must be loaded on each client machine that uses this type of driver. Hence, this kind of driver is generally most appropriate when automatic installation and downloading of a Java technology application is not important. For information on the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver provided by Sun.

Type 2: Native API Partly Java Driver- A native-API partly Java technology-enabled driver converts JDBC calls into calls on the client API for Oracle, Sybase, Informix, DB2, or other DBMS. Note that, like the bridge driver, this style of driver requires that some binary code be loaded on each client machine.

Type 3: Network protocol Driver- A net-protocol fully Java technology-enabled driver translates JDBC API calls into a DBMS-independent net protocol which is then translated to a DBMS protocol by a server. This net server middleware is able to connect all of its Java technology-based clients to many different databases. The specific protocol used depends on the vendor. In general, this is the most flexible JDBC API alternative. It is likely that all vendors of this solution will provide products suitable for Intranet use. In order for these products to also support Internet access they must handle the additional requirements for security, access through firewalls, etc., that the Web imposes. Several vendors are adding JDBC technology-based drivers to their existing database middleware products.

Type 4: JDBC Net pure Java Driver - A native-protocol fully Java technology-enabled driver converts JDBC technology calls into the network protocol used by DBMSs directly. This allows a direct call from the client machine to the DBMS server and is a practical solution for Intranet access. Since many of these protocols are proprietary the database vendors themselves will be the primary source for this style of driver. Several database vendors have these in progress.
