A Beginners Guide to Blockchain Technology

What is Blockchain Technology?


Blockchain technology is one of the most promising innovations in cybersecurity. ensures that data is 100% trustworthy. Originating from the mind of an unknown creator using the pseudonymous name, Satoshi Nakamoto, blockchain was initially adopted in 2008 to enable the digital currency, Bitcoin.
Just in case you have never heard of this before, Blockchain is what powers the crypto-currencies, like the Bitcoin. While Bitcoin has been a hotly debated topic around the globe, its widespread popularity has largely been because of its involvement with money. But in case you think that Bitcoin is in itself a revolutionary technology, you are wrong on many levels. Primarily because it is not Bitcoin that translates into a ‘path-breaking technology’ but Blockchain.

In essence, Bitcoin is a very small, but an important application of the Blockchain technology. Bitcoin is not Blockchain. The blockchain is now unveiling its potential to the world, exhibiting promise in many different services and industries.

A blockchain consists of a single block that is replicated and continuously updated across many different computer servers. Because there are many copies of the block, no single party can alter its contents, rather the block must be updated with all servers agreeing on the transaction. This makes fraud nearly impossible and makes a blockchain a secure and transparent method of facilitating online transactions. The data in the blockchain is a collection of all chronological transactions, with no transaction ever forgotten. The copies of the blockchain are stored identically and sequentially on many computers, known as nodes, worldwide. The traffic between nodes is encrypted.
In an interview with the Director of IBM Blockchain Labs, Nitin Gaur gave a description of blockchain technology and its potential: “We are trying to address the problem of time and trust. ...Blockchain to me is the value of back and forth [with] an implied sense of trust ...which enables faster transfer speed.” By building a network that contains trust, blockchain eliminates the need to verify, which facilitates a faster, better and cheaper way to transfer value.

It included with most modern IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, and Net Beans.

Ant was designed by James Duncan Davidson (also the author of Apache Tomcat) and was released as a stand-alone product in July 2000. When he was working in Sun Microsystems for creating JSP and Servlet engine, Apache Tomcat was created before Ant.

  2. Ant is a platform-independent build tool and can handle platform specific properties such as file separators. The only demand for this build tool is JDK.
  3. Ant can easily create war, jar, zip, tar files and gives an interface to develop custom tasks.
  4. Ant can copy files to at different locations and can easily delete or move files from one location to another.
  5. This build tool provides a broad range of tasks that fulfills all the build requirements of the user.
  6. Ant build tool is written in Java and the source code is freely available, and it provides the facility to users to extend the project by creating their own “antlibs”.
  7. Ant is easy to learn because its scripts are written using plain XML. You can learn quickly if you already know little about XML.

Difference between HTML and XML

What is the difference Between HTML and XML?

What is HTML?

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML defines the structure of the webpage by its tags. Tags are the basic building block of webpage. HTML is used to display data on the webpage. HTML is a data presentation technology. Browser displays the page by rendering the HTML tags. 


There are different tags constitutes the webpage like “title”, “paragraph”, ”heading”, “table” etc. The author of the HTML page uses these tags to build the HTML page. Author cannot make their own tags.  The tags of HTML are not case sensitive. The HTML tags have fix set of attributes. Author cannot define their own attributes. HTML does not preserves white spaces. HTML pages are static in nature. We use different technologies like CSS, JavaScript etc. to make HTML pages dynamic.

HTML tags also contain event attributes. These event attributes give some dynamic nature to the webpage. Actually the events have some JavaScript method attached which is executed on the occurrence of that event. Some of the events are like “onload” “onerror”, “onresize” etc.


difference between html and xml

What is XML?

XML stands for eXtensibleMarkup Language. It is designed to store and transport data form one application to another.

The XML is also used to send data from one platform to another. XML author’s defines their own tags. By using the tag, data is represented. The XML representation of data can be read by different applications. This makes data Independent from the application. The tags of the XML are case sensitive



We can also define our own attribute of the XML tags. The data is represented by these attributes and tags combined. XML is not a programming language. XML represents only data which can be used by the program. The program has its presentation layer to represent this XML representation of the data.



New Internet languages like XHTML, WSDL, SMIL etc. are created using XML.

XML is also used as deployment descriptors (web.xml).XML is dynamic since it transports data to different applications.XML preserves the white spaces.



When we define XML, there are some rules to follow. The XML document should contain only one root element. The elements we defined are to be closed properly. Proper ordering should be maintained while closing the tags.The first child tag should be closed before the parent tag. The tags are case sensitive. The attributes value must be quoted. If multiple whitespace is present in tag, it is converted to single whitespace.
