Keyhole Consultants worked with a team of client business managers and developers to develop an internal client application that focused on bi-reporting, cost analysis, and price forecasting for connecting wind, solar, and fossil fuel projects to the United States power grid.

The goal of the project was to take data that was strewn around the company and create one system of record that the company could use to forecast if current and future projects were going to be profitable. This custom application synchronized 150 employees across five different departments.

React vs. Angular: A Comparison Between Two Great Options

Robert Rice Angular, Articles, Development Technologies & Tools, JavaScript, Opinion, React 2 Comments

Both React and Angular are very popular front end development frameworks. In this post, I will discuss the similarities and differences between the two, and consider when one should be used instead of the other.

React is an open-source JavaScript library introduced by Facebook to build dynamic user interfaces. It is based on JavaScript and JSX (a PHP extension) and is considered widely for developing reusable HTML elements for front-end development.

Angular is an open-source front-end development framework powered by Google. It is a part of the MEAN stack and is compatible with a large number of code editors and is considered for creating dynamic websites and web apps.

In this post, we will begin by going over the benefits of React and Angular, then break down the differences between the two frameworks using thirteen attributes. By comparing each framework side by side, it can help decide which is the best framework for your specific app project.

After all, they don’t want to be re-writing the same application in just a couple of years due to lackluster choices and shortage of developers to add functionality.

In this post, we present an open source reference application developed three times using three different frameworks, React, Vue & Angular.

Angular and Swagger: Experiences Learned

RJ Dela-Cruz Angular, Articles, Development Technologies & Tools, JavaScript 2 Comments

Recently I was fortunate enough to be a part of a project where we were building an application from scratch into an Angular front-end application with Microservices in the back end. Swagger was used as the contract between the UI and Microservices.

In this blog, I talk about the things I learned from this project experience, like how to use Swagger to define the endpoints of the Microservices, integrating Swagger-generated code into Angular, and working with configuration (including oAuth2 tokens), among other “gotchas…”
