Angular vs React is a burning adoption question on most Project planning sessions and one which often a developer has to confront.

React is a Facebook supported initiative and is a javascript library .
It would be wrong to call it a framework based on its initial release versions .
It helps to create resusable components in applications and is javascript based .

Angular has equally competent heritage from Google .With Angular being a new version to previous Angular JS which was widely successful.

Angular has now ditched Javascript and adopted Typescript , i was very skeptic of this choice especially typescript being previously unknown in the front end developer circles .
Once I started using Typescript I could see some clear advantages  and choice for strong typing  which was missing in Javascript for long was being enforced.
Of course I have developed javascript based applications for 3 years and couldn't digest its syntax and adjust to the  change easily .

Javascript in my opinion is also a very tough language to understand and i often see people just scratching its surface and doing development ,typescript because of its strong typing exposes lesser chances to create the errors or issues a person with intermediate javascript make like with the scope chain .

Typescript is clearly a  more disciplined approach .

But the real question in enterprises is why should I re-write an existing javascript application like in JQuery to  something like Angular and React  ??

Yes very true just beacuse a new technology is out and its better doesn't necessarly translate
 into an enterprise adoption as enterprises are often guided by costs and not on being teh front runner in Tech stack adoptions .

For a web based  project starting from scratch I would definitely recommend Angular over React as its a disciplined framework though its short term  release cycles of Angular can weigh it down from enterprise standpoint .

Of course Angular with its many version changes from  2 to 5  didn't bring ground breaking changes .
Having to constantly update my framework libraries and involving Man Hours is a unthinkable offence in Enterprise spaces.

So in my opinion we will see a lot of React adoption in enterprises where existing applications needs to be made modular , Angular on the other hand would mostly be preferred for the new applications developed.

Scrumban using Asana

I had to create a project management practice in Agile for one of my projects. I had experience in working with Scrum  and Scrumban Agile methodolgies . I decided to adopt Scrumban as i found it better that Scrum and more suited for product development with uncertain requirements and often user stories which require a depeer research and understanding . You can read on further from the links below on Scrumban https://www.agilealliance.org/what-is-scrumban/ http://leansoftwareengineering.com/ksse/scrum-ban/ I had to choose a tool that was open source and readily available , I evaluated the below tools Taiga  Trello Asana Of the above I found Asana highly suitable and configurable and bingo they also had a mobile application which was quite user friendly. The  Sprints were planned for 2 weeks duration and a Milestone of 1 month duration . Each Milestone had two Sprints . For scrumban I choose the below project structure Here the Backlog had the backlog item

For Machine learning should we use R or Python ?

Some real important differences to consider when you are choosing  R  or  Python  over one another: Machine Learning  has 2 phases. Model Building and Prediction phase. Typically, model building is performed as a batch process and  predictions are done realtime . The model building process is a compute intensive process while the prediction happens in a jiffy. Therefore, performance of an algorithm in Python or R doesn't really affect the turn-around time of the user. Python 1, R 1. Production:  The real difference between Python and R comes in being production ready. Python, as such is a full fledged programming language and many organisations use it in their production systems. R is a statistical programming software favoured by many academia and due to the rise in data science and availability of libraries and being open source, the industry has started using R. Many of these organisations have their production systems either in Java, C++, C#, Python etc. So, ideally they w
