Thanks a TON Neo, feeling GREAT by seeing this GREEN color badge(learning under your guidance here), trying hard to learn php and contribute a bit in forum's development work. Hope 1 day I could become good DEV, fingers crossed.

Thanks,

Hi Ravinder,

You are really doing a great service to the community here.

  1. Your badge system concept was a great idea and will prove to add more value to the community as it evolves over the years.
  2. Your work writing logic for badges while you learn PHP is absolutely the way to learn technology. It is always best, in my view, to learn by actually doing projects; not just watching YT tutorials and paying for online classes and certifications.
  3. Keep up the good work.

Ravinder,

I don't understand Docker and why I would want to use it.

Is Docker for building and deploying web apps in a "Docker" container or something else?

Yes Neo, it is about how we could make our applications/custom solutions dependency FREE(lets say our codes have certain packages for example Python has Flask, Django etc and we are moving from our current box(just taking a scenario only) to new box on which dependencies are NOT installed then SOLUTION for this is Dockerise your codes/solutions. By which we need NOT to worry if our same code will run on other system or NOT, since it may be different from current working system). My intention to learn it for DEVOPS purposes and share in forums here so that new users could come here for these questions and may be we could learn more. I didn't mean that we in forum's backend systems should use it or so.(Who knows if you feel its powerful we could use it in future, but my intention is only learning, sharing and pulling people on forums by sharing it here).

Thanks,
R. Singh

Congratulations.
Well done matey...
Another one under your belt...

It is really nice to be recognised and I thank all who have recognised our input.

From experience take one piece of advice mate. Take your projects and learning one step at a time.
(I have done lots of projects for differing platforms and many are here on this site, mainly for OSX. Also proper apps, biased towards measuring/test gear.)

Initially what you intend to do seems quick and easy and version changes are slick and fast, until, you start adding subtleties, features and upgrades.
After a longish period one gets feature creep and application fatigue sets in...
An OS is always your biggest obstacle - Apple have done me NO favours from version 10.7.1 to current... The amount of times I have had to change
the Applescript inside AudioScope is unreal. If you are unlucky like me then minor alterations to the OS can cause headaches when your code breaks.
Dependencies are your next biggest bugbear. 'xterm' was near de-facto in 2012 in just about every consumer *NIX-like install; NOT any more.
A vrigin OSX 10.7.x to present comes with Python 2.7.x AND scipy, scipy.io, numpy and etc as part of its install; it does NOT have sox.
Many Linux flavours OTOH has sox but NOT scipy and scipy.io.
CygWin didn't have hexdump, bc or dc a couple of years ago, dunno about today...
So what starts a a functional item ends up with feature creep, OS headaches and finally application fatigue...

One HAS to take one's mind off of one's main project and do smaller things until the mental urge sets that compassion again to go back to the main project.

You are one eager and compassionate guy and do hope for your sake that you don't lose that compassion because it's guys like you that come out with brilliant
ideas that produce the next step in our evolution, physical, mental, practical and technical...

And finally again, superb and well done you deserve it and I am glad to be a witness of it...

Bazza...
