In every software application Iโ€™ve ever worked on, no matter the industry or maturity of the team or number of weeks in a sprint, there have been three questions that always come up: What is the best way to center a

?

? Should we use tabs or spaces? How should we implement complex workflows?

It was with that third question in mind that I stumbled upon a link in HackerNews a few weeks back on Temporal.io announcing that its .NET SDK is now in alpha.

If you arenโ€™t in the know, Temporal is a library that lets you describe workflows as code. Itโ€™s available in multiple languages, but the Python flavor is the most popular.

So, I took a leap of faith, tried out the Temporal .NET SDK, and decided to recap my thoughts for you all as a blog. Iโ€™ll walk through, at a high level, what the Temporal approach is, the implications of workflows at the different zones of enterprise architecture, and where I see Temporal being useful in a large organizationโ€™s software strategy.

This year, the client I work with has started exploring the offerings in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) after investing years into the Microsoft Azure cloud. The opportunity has allowed me to explore a few new technologies that this post will cover and that you will hopefully find interesting.

In short, I was tasked with transforming Pub/Sub to Firestore Database in GCP. The scenario explored in this post takes an FHIR healthcare data feed, extracts telephone and email information, and then stores that in a Firestore database.

In this video, Alex presents an introduction to data science “big ideas” relevant to the model, an explanation of its data modeling process, and a demonstration of the real-life machine learning solution implemented with Python, Postgres SQL, and H2O (an open-source machine learning algorithm). Multiple data sources and technologies were combined to create an accurate model that allows farmers and recreationists to make actionable insights about the future. A few questions and answers round out the discussion.

In this post, l explain how we used Visual Studio Codeโ€™s Development Container feature as a stepping stone in our long-term effort to achieve Collaborative Infrastructure as Code. This one step in the process gave a versioned, repeatable working environment and allowed us time to determine the next steps in the effort to achieve IaC.

I have always been interested in maps and GIS data. Whether I am planning a hike or a backpacking outing for scouts or helping the Ozark Trail Association with their website, trail building, and maintenance or needing directions from one place to another, a good map and mapping tools are a necessity.

ArcGIS has always been the gold standard for anything related to maps and GIS data. So, in this blog, weโ€™ll take a look at some of the mapping options that are available with an ArcGIS Developer account and their Mapping APIs.
