MongoDB: Setting up and basic operations

Lets talk about some starting points of the mongoDB..
First..installation is easy as easiest:
>Just go to the Mongo site and download the whichever package is needed for your system. Though it is recommended to work with th 64 bit version for production ..fear not you can do with any package that suits your system..remember...the version with the even no. in the middle means the stable release for the time.

> Now extract the compressed filed and create a folder in a location of your choice. In the uncompressed folder..there will be bin folder..copy all its content to the folder you just created...And there it is the starting point for working on  mongodb.

> When you have done all the above ...just open the command shell and go to the directory and type mongod...the mongo shell daemon. and it will start the mongo server.
> You can type db( It is the command which you will use in every operation for it starting point for every command). This will print test...which is the default collection every mongo shell contains for the first time.
...Now you can open another command shell and type mongo ...this will start shell  where you can start doing your work for all operations...

                      Way to goo....

Behind the Scenes: How Generative AI Creates Music, Art, and Stories

When Machines Dream We’re living in a world where machines don’t just compute—they create. Generative AI is writing novels, composing symphonies, and painting pictures. But what’s really going on behind the screen? This post pulls back the curtain to reveal how generative AI actually creates —from writing a bedtime story to composing a lo-fi beat. Whether you're a curious creator or tech enthusiast, you’ll see the art of AI through a new lens. What is Generative AI, Really? Generative AI uses machine learning models—especially neural networks—to generate new content based on learned patterns. Trained on vast datasets, these models produce original music, images, and text based on user prompts. 1. How AI Writes Stories (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) Step-by-step: You give a prompt: “Write a story about a lonely robot who finds a friend in the forest.” The model (like ChatGPT) draws on its training data to predict and generate the most likely next word, sentence, or paragr...

PromptCraft Series #1 : Blog series on the Art and Science of prompt engineering

Welcome to the Era of No-Code Prompt Engineering New post every Monday 🧠 What’s This Series About? Welcome to PromptCraft — your new favorite blog series dedicated to the art and science of prompt engineering for no-code platforms like Lovable , Replit , and more. Every Monday, we’ll dive deep into how non-developers and AI creators can craft powerful, accurate, and elegant prompts to build everything from chatbots and virtual assistants to internal tools, automations, and AI-powered apps — no coding required . Whether you're a startup founder, solopreneur, educator, content creator, or just a curious explorer, this series is for you. 🔍 What is Prompt Engineering? Prompt engineering is the process of crafting precise, structured, and smart inputs (prompts) that guide large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 to produce useful, high-quality outputs. But unlike traditional coding, prompt engineering speaks the language of humans , not machines. It’s like programming in plai...

How to create a bootable USB pendrive in Linux

If it was windows, it would be much easier ...for we have the universal USB installer. In Linux, we can't use that: however, we need not worry, guys have done a great job by creating a much easier tool to do the work. The tool is called gparted. It is a nice GUI tool to do our work. So lets see how we shall do it. >Open the terminal . >Now type: sudo apt-get install gparted ......This will install the tool ...well and good if you had it from before. >Now type: sudo apt-get install-3g ( gparted installed this as default for me...just see if it did for you). >Now open the tool via: System>Administration>Gparted Partition Tool >Now you are almost done....Click the File and choose the drive for the particular USB. >Right click on the drive when it is enlisted. See Manage Flag menu and click to enable boot. >Now go to Partition menu at the top panel and format the drive as ntfs . This will keep the work as pending operation ...click the cor...
