In this post, I will be introducing three strategies that can help Node developers who wish to loosen their code. First, we’ll cover microservices with Moleculer. Then, we’ll through Inversion of Control with InversifyJS. Finally, we’ll discuss N-Tier Architecture and why it’s helpful.
Long before I was offloading brainpower to Stack Overflow, I sought to offload it for my future self (ahem, and teammates of course). I have a book to thank for this. Steve Krug’s “Don’t Make Me Think.” It’s a critique of complex user interfaces.
Steve likes them simple and intuitive: the users’ goals are evident and easily accomplished.
Steve’s adage–“don’t make me think”–also plays a fair critique of the code we write. We can take that adage and apply it as a “DX First” approach to writing code. (An approach that admittedly should be sacrificed to UX or Performance Gods as needed.)
In this article I illustrate four high-level ways of elevating the developer experience to the forefront, helping us grok more while thinking less.
I’ve spent the past 15 years of my career working as a web developer. Over those years, I’ve learned and created various shortcuts to help ease development. So, I figured I’d share them with you. This short write up lists some of the JavaScript tips and tricks that I’ve picked up during my career.
The first snippet I’ll cover is one I’ve only used in a very specific, unique circumstance. It may not be relevant to all of you, but I wanted to share for the few it would apply to. The rest are snippets I use on nearly a daily basis. No matter your situation or requirements, you should be able to find at least one that you can adopt.
This post contains a recap of my research into the subject and an exploration of Sir Tim’s so-called new Internet – a technology called Solid. We’ll start by exploring what Solid is, and then we’ll talk about its purposes and how to use it. It’s a pretty cool technology!
So, let’s dive in. What exactly has Sir Tim Berners-Lee created?
On my last two projects, I decided to give Azure Data Studio a try to see how it measured up to SSMS. Azure Data Studio gives you a more modern editor experience. It’s comparable to Visual Studio Code with IntelliSense, source control with GIT, and an integrated terminal for Powershell or SQLMD commands.
Azure Data Studio was built with a data platform user in mind, and its easy editing and export options, built-in charting of query results, and customizable dashboards make it an incredibly valuable tool.
In this post, I’ll go over some of the basics of how to use Azure Data Studio.
