This post contains an introduction to and demo of the mythical language that every programmer seems to know about but doesnโt really know: COBOL.
By learning about COBOL, you learn about basic concepts in computing in general, and how all of these languages are really doing a lot of the same activities underneath.

Git has many features, but itโs likely that you only use a small subset on a daily basis. While git tends to handle things intelligently most of the time, there are situations when doing the most obvious thing doesnโt give git enough information to make informed choices.
In this post, weโll examine one such scenario – merging files. Through trial and error, Iโll show you the normal approach people take, some of the issues that occur with that approach, and a completely different approach that preserves some data lost in the first approach.
This is a perfect opportunity for us to explore cloud serverless offerings as the ultimate contact-less development option. While COVID-19 continues to make face-to-face collaboration an impossibility, cloud-based applications and workloads provide a well-defined method for remote development and project deployment. Serverless offerings, like Azure Functions and Azure Logic Apps, take this to the next level while allowing us, as developers, to focus only on our application functionality and not the backing infrastructure or uptime of servers. These serverless solutions will be the focus of this blog.
In most React applications, there are many components working closely together to share and pass data between them. This can sometimes make it difficult to test components individually. Maybe you want to see how a component will react when given invalid data, or you want to test your component visually in different states. Storybook gives you a great way to do this in isolation, without worrying about the app-specific dependencies or requirements.
Storybook is an open-source tool for developing user interface components in isolation. In other words, it’s a playground for UI components. In this blog, we will dive into the basics of Storybook, write a Storybook for Material UI’s button component, and look at a couple of its add-ons.
