Thanks Aman, I second Stéfan's comments, and I also want to recommend that you proofread your posts before publishing them. There's quite a few typos in there, e.g. speeed and spcifying. Typos are no big deal, they happen to all of us, but they give the impression of carelessness. Everyone has a different system, but this is mine: I personally never publish as soon as I finish writing. I finish it, save it, and sleep at least one night before reading it again. If I spot any typos, they get fixed and I postpone for another day! It's slower but it makes a huge difference to the final quality. Reading five times in a row doesn't help because we become blind to existing errors. Since these posts are up forever (we hope), I think it's worth it! Juan.

I have changed my blog address to acsgsoc15.wordpress.com If you can see it and give some suggestions, that would be very helpful. For future posts I will surely keep in mind the suggestions on blog writing.

I've updated the link on the wiki:

Thanks for sharing your first blog post!

I think it would help to clarify the difference between variables with types and without types. To say that the [] operator is slow in Cython is misleading, because mostly you will only use that operator once you've defined the type of the array.

Avoid phrases like "these work best", and try to specify what you mean. For example, instead of saying

"In NumPy arrays modes can also be specified. Like 'c' or 'fortran' types. These work best when according to our mode of iteration on arrays(row or column wise). 'c' mode works best when the iteration is row wise and 'fortran' for column wise. "

try something like

"The memory layout of a NumPy array can be either Fortran-order (elements unpacked along columns) or C-order (elements unpacked along rows). It is best to access the elements of the array in the same order that they appear in memory, in order to make efficient use of caching."

As always, the standard disclaimer: feedback is given (on blogs, PRs and the like) not because we enjoy being critical, but because we believe that we all learn from one another. You'll soon enough get the chance to give feedback on one of my PRs, which are seldom anywhere near perfect!
