While looking at my laptop, thinking what programs should I install or uninstall, I listed the top 5 programs I need to backup. The programs listed are the most commonly used programs in my ECE course. So let's start.
1. EagleCAD

It also has a PCB maker. It transfers your schematic drawing to a PCB layout design (sounds good right). You can manually route or auto route the PCB tracing. Then print it. You can download your EagleCad here.
2. Proteus ISIS
Want to test your circuit if it is working or not? Then this is the right software for you. Proteus for me is the best circuit simulation, you can simulate your circuit limiting your expenses. You can even put a tester probes to measure the current or voltage across every circuit elements or put a spectrum analyzer to see the system output in frequency domain. It also has a PCB layout design, it automatically transfers your schematic diagram to the PCB layouting. What else can you ask for? For anything else visit their website and download the program here.
3. AutoCad

4. MATLAB

5. Arduino

Have some list of your own top programs?, you are free to comment it here, paste and share it with everybody. Thanks!
Every computer users need to know how to use and improve their computers, for those who want some 'common-user' tips just click it here.

So, without further ado, just click it here to gain some knowledge and tips about computer, especially for the geeks.
These are some great tips which I've tried myself, go, try and practice yourself. There is no harm in trying. If anything goes wrong, it is your additional learning. Be the computer geek you want to be!
How much do you know about computer? Do you really think you already know everything about the threats in the cyber world? These are the two important questions which need to be answered by our own self. Because sometimes we blame the anti-virus company for not doing their part even if we asked for their service at a high price. Sometimes we point the blame on others, especially if the OS we are using are prone to attacks and high vulnerability for intruders to enter. But did we ask our self, on how much knowledge or information do we have when it talks about viruses, Trojans and the likes. Maybe our knowledge is too little that the blame is to be put on us.
In order to increase that knowledge, I've found a very interesting questionnaire given by the one of the best anti-virus software developer 'Dr. Web'.
Doctor Web is the Russian developer of Dr.Web anti-virus. Doctor Web is one of the few anti-virus vendors in the world to have its own technologies to detect and cure malware.So, without further ado, check this 'Eternal Questionnaire' made by them and check if you have passed. For me, I barely passed this questionnaire.
Any comments or suggestions? Feel free to post your comment and I am gladly to read it. Thanks.
