HackerNoon Reporter: Please tell us briefly about your background. I started working in the IT field as an intern for a company back when I was doing my undergraduate studies. I was offered a full-time job right away, and that's how my journey has been going ever since then. I have worked for some prestigious tech companies for years before venturing into entrepreneurship and launching a startup back in 2014. What's your startup called? And in a sentence or two, what does it do? We named our startup InvoZone (A zone full of innovative people). It is more than just one man's passion project: this full-fledged development team has taken cybersecurity as their core service! For the last seven years, we've been leading innovators in web and mobile development by applying new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data Science, Artificial Intelligence. What is the origin story? The origin story of InvoZone is quite interesting, actually. In an unexpected turn of events in 2014, my credit card was charged with a fraudulent payment of $10,000. Yes, I became the victim of credit card fraud and the whole ordeal shook me up, I thought to myself, ‘I need to stop this loophole’. So to minimize attacks on payment systems due to their weak cybersecurity measures, such as lack of security protocols or unprotected networks, I strategically planned and started my own company that would protect people from scams through robust security solutions. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? It’s the passion and innovative ideas that everyone brings to the table. Since our motto is innovation, I admire that my team fully understands this and ensures that every project we do at InvoZone is taken as a delightful challenge. The secret to our innovation and creativity is that I let my team take the front seat by taking complete ownership of a project, encouraging them through allowing their ideas to be heard in brainstorming sessions- enabling us all to work as one as we push for our ultimate goal; finding the best solution possible for the client's product. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? The thing about entrepreneurship is that when you have a great idea and people are willing to invest in the business, there's this lovely feeling of being "on to something". It's hard for me to imagine doing anything other than working on machine learning, big data, analytics algorithms and building my company out. When I force myself to think about it, though, I expect on the weekends I could have been spending time with my family or surfing or playing the guitar, but those activities just don't make me feel as good :) At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? For me, success means making a difference in the world. I benchmark it as to whether or not you can be remarkable. If your work is extraordinary enough to stand out from everything else going on around us congratulations! You've found what's successful for you. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? The most exciting thing about InvoZone’s traction to date is the elimination of scalability issues for a lot of businesses. The number of successful businesses we’ve supported has been phenomenal. We’ve been able to make formerly unscalable companies scalable with our software development services, and they are now reaching new heights powering their company growth. Our customers know that when something is difficult for them to scale, it shouldn't be impossible for others! What technologies are you currently most excited about, and most worried about? And why? I am excited about anything involving technology that can be beneficial for humanity. I am most worried about any technologies that are harmful to the environment and society. Some technologies such as blockchain, neuromorphic chips, and autonomous cars will have a huge impact on future society. However, there are some things we should not allow the dark side of human nature to have access to like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. What drew you to get published on HackerNoon? What do you like most about our platform? I was drawn to HackerNoon because of the variety and depth of the content. It's clear that the contributors take such care with their writing - each article is well-written, well-researched, and conveys meaningful information about technology. There are many things I like about your platform. The articles are timely and concise. They're beautifully formatted for digital consumption on a mobile device or browser, while still providing useful links just below the text for reference sources and related reading materials. The topical curation by subject area provides an intuitive way to get an overview on any topic from programming to design & development techniques, job offers, tools & code snippets and even startup advice. What advice would you give to the 21-year-old version of yourself? There are many things that I missed and would like to pass on if given the chance. Loyalty in hiring is paramount, prepare for surprises, stay tough-skinned - it's not always easy! You can't start until you know what your goal is; starting up a company isn’t just about work, but also how much of yourself goes into this lifestyle choice. With business partners, make sure there's an equilibrium between passion, commitment, ambition, and willingness/ability to manage stress because when one diminishes, so does the other, which is disastrous for your team. What is something surprising you've learned this year that your contemporaries would benefit from knowing? I often find myself wondering how I can contribute even better than before - and then it hits me! If adding something that already exists will help make my work easier or more efficient for other people, why not do so whenever possible while still maintaining a positive attitude about everything else too (i.e., don't let negativity get the best of you).

"Success means making a difference in the world", says Furqan Aziz, CEO of InvoZone

Top Entrepreneurs understand two things: how their attitude affects the business and how to make a difference in the world. This week, Furqan Aziz joins us on “Mondays with Entrepreneurs” to discuss how he is making a difference in the world and growing business at the same time. Who’s the Guest? Furqan Aziz 👨‍💻 Name: Furqan is the CEO of 🙌 What They Do: InvoZone Starting up a company isn’t just about work but also how much of yourself goes into this lifestyle choice. 💭 Best Advice: So before starting your week, pause for a coffee break ;) and enjoy this chit-chat with Furqan. 1. Please tell our reader about how you perceive success? The path to success is unique for each person. For some, it may be about being the best at what they do, others might define their own goals differently - whether that means impacting a world or just achieving personal milestones such as having more time with family members. For me, success means making a difference in the world. I benchmark it as to whether or not you can be remarkable. If your work is extraordinary enough to stand out from everything else going on around us congratulations! You've found what's successful for you. 2. Why did you start InvoZone and how does your passion still drive your business’ growth? In an unexpected turn of events in 2014, my credit card was charged with a fraudulent payment of $10,000. Yes, I became the victim of credit card fraud and the whole ordeal shook me up; I thought to myself, ‘I need to stop this loophole’. So to minimize attacks on payment systems due to their weak cybersecurity measures such as lack of security protocols or unprotected networks, I strategically planned and started my own company that would protect people from scams through robust security solutions. It is now more than just one man's passion project: this full-fledged development team has taken cybersecurity as their core service! For the last seven years, we've been leading innovators in web and mobile development by using new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data Science, Artificial Intelligence. 3. One of the biggest fears of outsourcing is trusting the people you hire to do your business as you would do. How do you ensure that your clients trust you? My clients and employees are equally important to me. I let my team take the front seat by taking complete ownership of a project, encouraging them through allowing their ideas to be heard in brainstorming sessions- enabling us all to work as one as we push for our ultimate goal; finding the best solution possible for the client's product. But to make sure that clients get the best product, we always hire A+ grade players. Other than that we have a deep and 3-step (verification, validation, and quality assurance) process to ensure high-quality deliverables. 4. The pandemic surely affected businesses worldwide. What about InvoZone, What impact COVID-19 had on your business? (Both positively and negatively.) With 600% plus growth during the pandemic, Invozone has not felt the worst effects of a disaster, fortunately. Also, there’s an increased demand for software development companies because people have been shifting to the digital space. But some of our clients and local businesses have felt the worst effect of this pandemic. We do sympathize with them and are looking to help as much as we can. 5. In 2021, what is the major problem you think the tech industry should work on? COVID-19 showed that our healthcare systems need more technological advancements if we want to overcome a pandemic situation. Although digitalization is happening in the healthcare industry, it's not enough. Other than that, Cyber fraud needs to be addressed as well because of increased online transactions and scams that are targeting victims who make purchases or perform other digital actions on their devices. 6. Why do you think most people fail to grow their business? And what advice would you offer them to keep pushing? Entrepreneurs who hesitate to delegate and outsource are more likely to fail because they wear too many hats at the same time. Besides delegating, outsourcing is integral to startups as well as if you want your business to grow from two times to ten-fold. Most businesses come to us when their businesses have almost reached death's door; we help them stand back up again by having professionals and experts in every vertical. But those who don’t seek help eventually fail. My advice for everyone who is facing failure is to learn to delegate tasks to experts and do what you are best at. 7. If you could speak face to face with yourself when you first started, what pearls of wisdom would you impart? There are many things that I missed and would like to pass on if given the chance. Loyalty in hiring is paramount, prepare for surprises, stay tough-skinned - it's not always easy! You can't start until you know what your goal is; starting up a company isn’t just about work but also how much of yourself goes into this lifestyle choice. With business partners make sure there's an equilibrium between passion, commitment, ambition, and willingness/ability to manage stress because when one diminishes so does the other which is disastrous for your team. 8. What’s the best advice you ever received and do you follow it? I got too many bits of advice from my mentors and family. But the best advice I ever received was from one of my mentors. He said: “Rather than going with a standard path, see how you can add more value”. and It's always good to take the time to invest in your career. When you're trying to figure out what the next steps are, ask yourself: How can I add more value? I often find myself wondering how I can contribute even better than before - and then it hits me! If adding something that already exists will help make my work easier or more efficient for other people, why not do so whenever possible while still maintaining a positive attitude about everything else too (i.e., don't let negativity get the best of you). 9. And the last question, since the series is named “Mondays with Entrepreneurs”, What are your Monday Morning rituals? Since I work all week, Monday is no different than any other day. Well not so much for the morning rituals- that's when things get unordinary. The minute my eyes open in the morning- it's time to check messages from team members and clients alike. If there is nothing urgent then a shower and breakfast with family might do before getting back on desk duties for almost 14 hours every single weekday. Shahmeer: Alright, Furqan! Your story is truly inspirational. Thanks for your time and best of luck. I am sure readers will enjoy and learn. Thanks, Hackers for reading :) If you have any suggestions regarding questions to ask in this series or if you want to get featured, I am available on and you can also reach out to me on ;) slack Linkedin

InvoZone CEO Furqan Aziz on Passion, Failure, and Monday Rituals

So your SaaS product is a success and the users are growing. The growth also means heaps of big data. Even though you are satisfied with the database management right now, a more efficient and cost-effective approach will become imperative for long-term business growth. For example, shifting the infrastructure from Windows Azure to Amazon AWS is a cost-effective move and quite effective too. However, if you are forecasting that the database will outgrow the infrastructure in near future and you are also using a (RDS instances) multi-latency strategy, the cost can go out of control. That’s because it will demand the integration of more shards and tools like Amazon RDS for SQL Server cost more per shard. sharded Now, Amazon RDS for SQL Server works fine and many users are satisfied with it. It is widely used, comes with a plethora of helpful tools, and expert personnel. But when it comes to cost management and specific business needs, you need a less expensive, open-source alternative that can handle big data efficiently. So what are some of the most commonly used Database Software? Well, when considering a budget-friendly and robust database management software, MySQL and PostgreSQL are the go-to choices for many companies. PostgreSQL does a better job of managing concurrency. SQL Server, on the other hand, is not so efficient in this department and it can cause deadlocked reports in the log. (Image source: Medium) PostgreSQL seems to be a better option in handling a scenario where multiple processes are trying to access shared data instantaneously. Now, the million-dollar question; how do I import data into PostgreSQL? This blog will help you understand the procedure but before that, let’s try and understand some coding differences between SQL Server & PostgreSQL that will help you in the data migration process. Things to consider before Migrating Data from SQL Server to PostgreSQL Although both follow the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) standards as the official language of database administrators, there are distinctions between the syntax and data types. Syntax SQL Server vs PostgreSQL Syntax Differences Data Type SQL Server vs PostgreSQL - Data Type Differences MSSQL to PostgreSQL Data Migration Process Now that you know how to deal with the coding aspect, it is time to move the data from SQL Server to PostgreSQL. The data transfer process may slow down or even shut down the application for a while (depending on the size of the data), so it is a good idea to inform users beforehand. Here’s what the migration process usually looks like: You create Relational Database Services instances with table, views, & function schemas. Commence with Postgres website changes. Include the App_Offline.htm code to let users know of the downtime or maintenance in progress. Use the BCP tool to convert SQL Server data to CSV files. You can also use Pgloader or Sqlserver2pgsql tools to migrate data. Both tools help make the process as automatic as possible. Now, bring in the CSV data files into the respective tables. You can do this by typing the COPY command in the Postgres interactive terminal. Once the migration is complete, begin creating foreign keys & Indexes. Creating them after the data transfer will ensure better performance. Delete the App_Offline.htm once all the data has been transferred to PostgreSQL. The final step will be to load the app, the app domain, and voila! You are now ready to reap the benefits of PostgreSQL. Once you are live with the new database engine you must test the app and the migrated database. Make sure to check the following aspects: Have the objects converted appropriately? Is Data Manipulation Language (DML)’s implementation correct? Insert test data into both databases and run the DML queries. It should be an identical result. Is DML performing as you desire? If not, make necessary changes and improve the performance. If you are still in two minds about the process, it always a good idea to consult an experienced software development company.

If you're looking for a real challenge, look no further than the world of programming languages. Sure, you could play it safe and stick with the likes of Python or JavaScript, but where's the fun in that? If you're a thrill seeker and up for a challenge, you're in luck because I'm here to give you a rundown of the top most mind-bending languages out there. programming But remember, learning these languages is not for the faint of heart. You need to be ready for some brain exercise! Table of Contents What Are The Hardest Coding Languages? C++ Malbolge Haskell INTERCAL BrainF**k COW Whitespace Want To Learn Some Real Programming? Frequently Asked Questions Is C++ the hardest programming language? Which is harder, C or C++? Which is harder, C++ or Python? Which is the most difficult programming language? Learning the hardest programming languages in the world is similar to art in certain aspects. You begin with a blank canvas and basic raw materials. By combining science, art, and craft, you decide what to do with them. You sketch an overall form, paint the background, and then fill in the details. You continuously take a step back and look at what you've done with a critical eye. But then, you'll toss aside a canvas and start over. In simple words, the hardest programming languages to learn leave your brain in stubborn nodes and intricate code. However, learning any programming language, no matter how basic or complicated, requires time and effort. As a result, it is necessary to undertake significant research and choose a programming language suitable for the desired career route. In addition, a programming language's market value and usefulness have nothing to do with its complexity or convenience. Your final decision should depend on the usability of the language. The ability to make logical decisions using a query language and serial statements is analogous to computer programming languages, which is an advantage. What Are The Hardest Coding Languages? When we talk about c, c++, Java, Python, and other programming languages, there are some that are not only tough but completely unintelligible to most software engineers. They have built a reputation as esoteric programming languages (or esolang). Here is a detailed list of the top hardest programming languages to learn in 2023: C++ Bjarne Stroustrup developed , a general-purpose programming language,  as an extension to the C computing language. Development teams frequently utilize it in in-game and online development, as well as machine learning and data mining applications. C++ However, high-level languages like Python, Java, and JavaScript appear to have surpassed C++ in popularity and usage in recent years. This prompts developers to wonder: Is C++ hard to learn? The quick answer is yes! Because of its multi-paradigm nature and more complex syntax, C++ is difficult to master. While it is well renowned for being particularly tough for novices, it is equally challenging for programmers with no prior expertise with low-level languages. Malbolge Malbolge programming language robbed the mental peace of many developers, ingraining its name in the list of the hardest programming languages to learn. Ben Olmstead invented this language in 1998, and the first program took nearly two years to build so that you can appreciate the intricacy of this language. Malbolge's complexity stems mostly from (a) restricted instructions, (b) instruction substitution after execution, and (c) loadable data restrictions. To this end, coding in this language appears to be garbage or malfunctioning. As a matter of fact, many believe that Ben Olmstead never developed a single program in this language. However, Hisashi Lizawa proposed obfuscation in software protection by providing a programming guide in Malbolge. For example, unreadable programs are resistant to alteration. Assume Alice wishes to transmit a program (or binary code) to Bob, who will run the application. Even if it is an encrypted code, Bob needs authorization to decrypt it for it to be executed. As a result, Bob has the opportunity to change it. However, an unreadable program, written in the toughest programming languages to learn, layers the code and functions as encrypted data. Now, that is a significant advantage. Equally important, the language earned its name after the eighth circle of hell in Dante's Inferno, namely reserved for those guilty of fraud. To put it differently, Malbolge is "A programming language that came from HELL." Haskell You will fail to learn this toughest programming language at least 3 to 4 times before finally grasping it. But needless to say, it will ruin other programming languages for you! Haskell is a fully functional programming language. In imperative languages, you accomplish things by assigning tasks to the computer, which then performs them. It may change state while performing them. However, it is lazy. Unless explicitly instructed differently, Haskell will not perform functions or compute anything until compelled to offer you a result. This is consistent with referential transparency because it allows you to think of programs as a sequence of data transformations. INTERCAL Jim Lyon and Don Woods created INTERCAL, one of the hardest coding languages to learn, in 1972 as a satire of several computer languages. 'Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym.' was the first moniker given to it. INTERCAL includes various features that aim to frustrate programmers. For example, it employs modifiers such as "PLEASE". The compiler may reject it if the word "PLEASE" is not used frequently in the code. The program is deemed 'insufficiently courteous' by the organization. On the other hand, if the modifier 'PLEASE' is used too many times, the compiler rejects the code as 'excessively courteous.' BrainF**k A Swiss physics student called Urban Müller developed Brainfuck, in 1993 as an attempt to design a language with the smallest feasible compiler. Müller got the idea for Brainfuck from FALSE, a "perverse" programming language created earlier that year by Wouter van Oortmerssen, a Dutch software developer currently working at Google, with the purpose of producing a confusing Turing-complete language with the smallest feasible compiler. While modern programming languages like C++ may require a 2.6 Mb compiler, FALSE's compiler was just 1,024 bytes or nearly 2,600 times less. Because of the language's extraordinary simplicity, Brainfuck's compiler ended up being an order of magnitude smaller than FALSE at just 240 bytes. Brainfuck comprises only eight commands:, >, +, -, [,], and,. Despite its simplicity, the Brainfuck vocabulary is one of the most perplexing and difficult programming languages available owing to the large amount of code required to run a basic program. When a programmer wishes to learn a new language, for example, one of the first programs they normally teach themselves to create in that language is to print the word "Hello, World!" on the computer screen. The code for this application in a standard programming language like Python looks like this: However, the same program implemented in Brainfuck might look something like this: ++++++++++[>+++++++>++++++++++>+++>+<<<<-] ++.>+.+++++++..+++.>++.<<+++++++++++++++.>.+++.------.--------.>+.>. COW The name gives hundreds, if not thousands, a wrong impression. We are not indicating a technology that will help you talk with a cow. Nor do we plan to fabricate a Google Translate interface to uncover the hidden meaning of “MOO.” We are talking about one of the world’s top 6 hardest coding languages to learn in 2023, i.e., COW. It came into being in early 2013 and has received little attention from the development community. Later, it built a reputation as the most complex programming language in the world. Brainfuck is a bad influence on the COW, yet developers playfully built it with Bovine in mind. Cow contains 12 instructions, four more than Brainfuck, and is Turing complete. All 12 instructions are just variants of the word "MOO." Source: Cow Commands Whitespace Chris Morris and Edwin Brady created Whitespace at the University of Durham. The language debuted as one of the hardest languages to learn programming on April 1, 2003. The term "Whitespace" comes from the fact that it only employs three white characters: space, tab, and newline. As a result, the source code of programs written in Whitespace is rendered invisible. To make the code visible, three characters are commonly used: S for space (Space), T for tabulation (Tab), and L for new line (Line feed). Non-whitespace characters are ignored by the Whitespace interpreter and are treated as code comments. For example, a sequence of spaces might represent a single command, and a tab followed by a space might represent a different command. Because whitespace characters are not used to separate keywords or identifiers, like traditional programming languages, the source code written in whitespace looks like plain text with no distinguishable programming language syntax. Here's some code to display 'Hello, World!' in Whitespace. Want To Learn Some Real Programming? Mainstream programming needs the user to think in a specific way. However, esolangs encourage the user to think in ways that are useless and time-consuming yet nevertheless logical enough to develop complicated software. Therefore, we recommend skipping the hardest programming languages to learn as breakfast in 2023. But if you want to capitalize on real programming to retain your customers in this smart era, of InvoZone to bridge the gap in your company's talent pool! hire dedicated developers Frequently Asked Questions Is C++ the hardest programming language? It is difficult to say whether C++ is the hardest programming language, as the difficulty level can vary depending on the person learning the language and prior experience with programming. However, C++ is generally considered a more difficult language to learn than other popular programming languages, such as Python or , due to its complex syntax and steep learning curve. JavaScript Which is harder, C or C++? C and C++ are considered relatively low-level, systems-level programming languages, and both have a reputation for being difficult to learn. C is considered to be a relatively simple and minimalist language. It's often used as an introductory language to programming and computer science and gives you just what you need to get the job done. On the other hand, C++ is a more complex and feature-rich language, which has a steeper learning curve than C and adds several additional features such as object-oriented programming (OOP) support, templates, and a standard template library (STL).
