Free Coding Courses – Refer a Friend

Social Friends

The post Free Coding Courses – Refer a Friend first appeared on Qvault.

We think learning is better with friends! For every person you invite to join, you’ll both earn some free gems which you can immediately use to purchase coding courses. As soon as your friend signs up, we’ll credit each of your accounts with, at the time of writing, 150 gems.

How to Invite Friends

Follow these steps to refer your friends directly from the app.

  1. Login to Qvault
  2. Click the Store tab on the left
  3. Click “Invite friends, get free gems” from the bullet list
  4. Copy your unique invite link and share it with as many friends as you want
  5. When friends sign up, you’ll both receive free gems

What are gems?

True to our goal to gamify the experience of computer science education, we’ve implemented a popular feature that many videogames take advantage of, virtual currency. Qvault’s gem economy allows us to easily reward our users with digital money as they refer friends, unlock achievements, and complete exercises. Those digital gems then are used by students to purchase courses on the platform.

Qvault Gems

Gems are required in order to buy courses on the platform, but you can buy gems with real money so don’t worry if you run out of gems.

Real money $$$ -> gems -> courses

Which Courses are Available?

All of our courses are unlocked using gems, so all of them! The more friends you invite, the more free gems and courses you’ll get. Here are a few examples of the courses we offer:

Why is Exclusive Or (XOR) Important in Cryptography?

Image
If you are getting into cryptography, or just trying to understand the fundamentals, you may have noticed that the exclusive-or operation is used quite often, especially in ciphers. What is XOR ( ⊕ )? XOR, or “exclusive or” operates on binary data. It returns true if both of its inputs are opposites (one false and one true), otherwise, it returns false. An example in go code would be something like: func exclusiveOr(a bool, b bool) bool { return a != b } XOR Cipher – The Perfect Cipher The XOR operation can be used as a simple cipher for encrypting and decrypting messages with a single key. This is known as symmetric encryption. It is interesting to note that if: The key is the same size as the message The key is kept secret and generated truly randomly Then the cipher is impossible to crack. This is known as a one time pad . However, a simple XOR shouldn’t be used in production due to the key length needing to be too long to be practical. Cipher Example A...

Base64 vs Base58 Encoding

Image
By Lane Wagner –  @wagslane  on Twitter Base64 is one of the most popular encoding formats for representing data. Have some binary data? Base64 encode it for convenient readability and parsing. Base58 is just another encoding format (with 58 characters instead of 64, and has gained popularity largely due to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. When it comes to data encoding, there is typically a trade-off made between: Human Readability: Do humans have a good idea of what is being represented at a glance? Efficient data compression: How many bytes are used to represent the same data? Let’s rank Base58, Base64, and ASCII encoding against each other using these metrics! First: A Note on Binary All data is stored in a raw binary format on computers. These encoding formats (Base64, Base58, and ASCII) are just different ways of reading and writing binary data. For example, in Base64 the binary code 000000 represents the letter A , but in ASCII the binary 00000000 repres...

(Very) Basic Intro to Hash Functions (SHA-256, MD-5, etc)

Image
This is going to be a basic introduction to hash functions. I will assume most of my audience is here to gain an understanding of why hash functions are used and the basic idea of why they work. My goal is to explain it in a general sense, I will be omitting proofs and implementation details and instead focusing on the high-level principles. Why Use A Hash Function? Hash functions are used all over the internet in order to securely store passwords, find duplicate records, quickly store and retrieve data, and more. For example,  Qvault  uses hashes to extend master passwords into private encryption keys. A longer list of uses here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function#Uses I want to focus on several important features of hash functions, arguably the most important features. Hash functions scramble data deterministically No matter the input, the output of a hash function always has the same size The original data can not be retrieved from the scrambled d...
