This year, I was a programming mentor in a robot building competition for high school students. Specifically, one of 11 mentors assisting 40 high-schoolers of the Park Hill Trobots team in the FIRST Robotics Competition.
In this blog, I discuss key lessons I learned as a programming mentor of high school students building a Java-based robot that could run, climb, balance, aim, and release projectiles.

It is driven to provide the tools and managed services that are needed to run genomics at scale, with HPC (high-performance computing) and storage being among the hardest facets of the field to get right.
This blog post will first briefly explain genomics. Then, weโll dive into what Azure has to offer in this field.
Social logins using Oauth2 have become a industry standard. It has revolutionized the way sites share data and has allowed users to quickly access new applications without having to create a new set of credentials.

That last question is the silliest of all as the correct answer is so very obvious. Regardless, these intriguing questions have often led to disastrous consequences such as sulking and hurt feelings.
Allow me to add another one to the list: Is Test-Driven Development (TDD) a good practice?
I know, provocative. In this blog, I will discuss test-driven development, why many in our field seem to hate it, and why you should choose to still implement some of its main concepts in your developmentโฆ.
