The First Book That I Have Ever Read

Posted on
I'm not that type of guy who read books, I'm too lazy to do it. I don't even study my lessons seriously. But last Sunday, due to brownout and I have nothing to do. I saw Mitch Albom's book on the corner, "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" and I try reading it. I finished it within the day, it's great. It gives you the idea of what is HEAVEN.

And I never thought that it has a movie based on this book. You can watch it in YouTube, I am watching it right now. Here's the link.

Now, I am planning to buy a book to read this summer. 
What's your first book?

The web site hosting server will typically generate "404 - Not Found" web page, when users attempts to follow a broken or dead link, hence the 404 error is one of the most recognizable errors users can find on the web To start this,  you need to upgrade your Blogger  to a new look .

  GeoDjango is a Django module that turns it into a web-GIS app. It is powerful as it uses geospatial engines such as GDAL, GEOS and PostGIS.  In this post, we'll be creating heat map using leaflet plugin https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.heat . From our views.py , we need to create a function that can return JSON object with this format: [[ 50.5 , 30.5 , 0.2 ] , // lat, lng, intensity [ 50.6 , 30.4 , 0.5 ] , ] Below is an example: Basically, the proposed_roads query uses the Centroid function of GeoDjango, also intensity is obtain by getting the sum (change this depending on your specification or needs) based on the subquery. The output of this query is intensity and the Point object derived from Centroid which is named as "cent". To turn it into the desired format, we need to convert it into list and append the intensity (which is the 3rd value). The function returns a JSON data similar to the required format of leaflet heatmap. You can then use AJAX in ...

Heroku is a platform as a service (PaaS) that enables developers to build, run, and operate applications entirely in the cloud. If you have a simple Django app that doesn't require huge storage or database, Heroku is the best choice . Their free service will suffice your need. Your app will be available almost 24/7 (~23 days up time in a month). You are given 550 hours per month and if you have a credit card, an additional of 450 hours will be rewarded.
