Looking for plasma cutter for a project in Ireland? You can check this complete welding solutions online store at Migwelders.ie.
Oxford Welder provider Ireland : MIG Welders are extremely popular because they tend to cost less than TIG or Stick welders with comparable power and features, are extremely easy to learn, and can tackle a wide variety of projects. Since the filler metal is fed through the MIG welding torch, welders can use both hands to hold the torch steady rather than using one hand to add filler metal, as in TIG welding. The wire feeder also makes MIG welding up to four times faster.
The MIG welding process uses an inert gas to shield the weld and to keep it free from impurities. This makes MIG welding very neat and easy to clean up since there isn’t anything to chip away, which is typical for Stick welding.
Some tips on choosing the best welding equipment and also some industry news:
Weight of machine Do you require a machine that needs to be moved around and transported to jobs, or will it remain within a workshop?
Take into account the duty cycle of the machine!! You may need 160amps and a machine may state that it does this, but it could only be at 15% duty cycle, which means it could only weld at 160amps for 1.5mins out of every 10mins? Unless you are only do very short welds its best to work on a 35% duty cycle when choosing your machine.
Where the machine is manufactured and are replacement parts available in your country? Time and time again we have customers who cannot get spares for their machine when it breaks down. MigWelder.Ie has all the spare parts for all the machines on the shop.
Purchasing a welder is an important long term decision that can add extra income to your bottom line, save on repair costs, and make it possible to complete a wide array of hobbies. The options can be overwhelming, and that is why we’ve put together this welder buying guide. You’ll find important details to consider, a comparison of welder types, and information about the top selling brands from Baker’s Gas and Welding.
One of the most important questions to consider when selecting a welder isn’t what projects it will be used for in the next week, month, or even year. Those interested in buying a welder need to ask if they see themselves using it more frequently in the future for many different kinds of projects.

The blockchain is an undeniably ingenious invention the brainchild of a person or group of people known by the pseudonym, Satoshi Nakamoto. But since then, it has evolved into something greater, and the main question every single person is asking is: What is Blockchain?
By allowing digital information to be distributed but not copied, blockchain technology created the backbone of a new type of internet. Originally devised for the digital currency, Bitcoin, (Buy Bitcoin) the tech community is now finding other potential uses for the technology.
If only time travel were possible then majority of people would wish to back in 2010 to buy bitcoins. A mere 10,000 rupees invested in bitcoins back then would have fetched you over mind boggling 330 crores by now! The world was stunned with such a phenomenal growth of bitcoins as a cryptocurrency. Keep reading this post as we will explain about bitcoin shortly. But how could such a currency grow stupendously on a global scale? The answer is Blockchain. Simple as it may sound there are huge mechanisms in place in making the technology work. The time spent by IBM global financing was reduced by 75% in solving financial disputes using Blockchain technology. Did you know that in international trade finance and remittances ICICI bank using Blockchain technology successfully executed transactions? Did you know SBI is using it in its KYC norms and smart projects? Did you know that Azure is already providing Blockchain as a service(BaaS)? And these are just three instances of the applications of Blockchain and the most obvious use case is bitcoin.
A blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that saves transactions on thousands of computers around the globe. These are registered in a way that inhibits their subsequent modification. Blockchain technology increases the security and speeds up the exchange of information in a way that is cost-effective and more transparent. It also dispenses with third parties whose main role was to provide a trust and certification element in transactions (such as notaries and banks).
Today we are taking a look at an UAE blockchain developer software company, Leeway Hertz – blockchain developers
They provide various services including : Permissioned and Permissionless Blockchain Development. We have completed permissioned and permissionless blockchain development for startups and enterprises.

How to become a full stack developer? As one of the hottest topics for developers, the discussions have never stopped. On LinkedIn and Facebook, lots of people put their job title as a full stack developer. Besides, it seems that the Full Stack topic has already become a new job trend. An article on Medium has discussed the full stack designer getting both praise and blame. Some people think that the full stack is just a title, what he/she should focus on is the real personal ability and technology.
Essentially, I think the discussion about the full stack is also a kind of argument relating to the all-rounder and expert in the IT industry, and debate on the depth and breadth of development skills.
You cant have your cake and eat it too. While the full stack developers and full stack designers seem like they are challenging this possibility. Because their horizontal skills tree gives them the ability to both have and eat the cake. There is another saying is that jack of all trades, but master of none. So its necessary to think about how to become a real full stack developer but not an empty title.
So by definition a developer who works on front-end is a front-end developer and a developer who works on back-end is a back-end developer.
Front-end developers are responsible for a websites user-interface and the user-experience architecture. They work closely with designers to construct and improve the ui/ ux of a website. A good front-end developer can be able to accurately identify specific issues in user-experience and provide recommendations and coding solutions to improve the design.
Almost every single program, whether online or in-person, that is teaching you how to be a web developer will start with HTML and CSS because they are the building blocks of the web. Simply put, HTML allows you to add content to a website and CSS is what allows you to style your content. The following topics related to HTML/CSS come up often in interviews and on the actual job when youre working:
Semantic HTML.
Be able to explain the CSS Box Model.
Benefits of CSS preprocessors (you dont necessarily need to understand how to use one on a deep level, but you should to understand what they are for and how they help with development).
CSS Media Queries to target different devices and write responsive CSS.
Bootstrap (a framework for helping design and layout content on a page and while many online programs or schools focus heavily on teaching Bootstrap, in reality its more important to have a deep knowledge of fundamental CSS than specific Bootstrap features and methods).

Growth hacking is a relatively new term and it’s trending. Let’s see what’s all this fuss about.
For a Growth Agency, this focus on outcome over output will release the creatives in the studio to do their best work. They are not just designing a new brochure, they are contributing to the success of the clients business. It gives the creative permission to think outside the box, to work collaboratively with other skills within the studio, to think about how their design affects the buyers journey, to challenge the received knowledge and produce something of value, rather than just another asset.
Outcome over output is a core operational value for Growth Agencies.
Here are some of the best of 2018:

Growth hacking is a process of rapid experimentation across marketing funnel, product development, sales segments, and other areas of the business to identify the most efficient ways to grow a business. A growth hacking team is made up of marketers, developers, engineers and product managers that specifically focus on building and engaging the user base of a business.
Those who specialize in growth hacking use various types of marketing and product iterations to rapidly test persuasive copy, email marketing, SEO and viral strategies, among other tools and techniques, with a goal of increasing conversion rates and achieving rapid growth of the user base. It can also involve online community management and social media outreach or highly personalized outreach to news outlets to improve performance metrics such as driving customer acquisition and selling products.
To combat this lack of money and experience, growth hackers approach marketing with a focus on innovation, scalability, and user connectivity. Growth hacking does not, however, separate product design and product effectiveness from marketing. Growth hackers build the product’s potential growth, including user acquisition, on-boarding, monetization, retention, and virality, into the product itself. Fast Company used Twitter “Suggested Users List” as example: “This was Twitter’s real secret: It built marketing into the product rather than building infrastructure to do a lot of marketing.” However growth hacking isn’t always free. TechCrunch shared several nearly free growth hacks explaining that growth hacking is effective marketing and not mythical marketing pixie dust. As new tools(SaaS) come out specifically that focus on more advanced forms of Growth Hacking, more and more tools are being offered as free.
