JavaScript Shortcuts from a Seasoned Professional

Brian Jacobs Articles, JavaScript, Programming, Tutorial Leave a Comment

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.

Infrastructure as Code Using Azure CLI

Todd Horn Architecture, Articles, Azure, Cloud, DevOps, Tutorial Leave a Comment

Infrastructure as Code (or IaC) is the process of using code and versioning in the same way you do your source code to manage your networks, VMS, and Azure resources. IaC generates the same environment every time it is applied, and it’s an important DevOps practice to use alongside continuous delivery.

The release pipeline executes this model to configure target environments. If you need to make any changes, you edit the source, not the target environment. This allows you to create reliable and stable environments on-demand that can be validated, tested, and repeated.

In this blog, we’ll look at how we can use Azure CLI and Azure DevOps Release Pipelines to make this happen. I’ll walk you through all the steps you need to take to get set up.

Getting Started with Expo

Stewart Snyder Articles, JavaScript, Mobile, React, React Native, Tutorial 1 Comment

Expo is a platform and framework that allows you to write cross-platform code using React Native, taking advantage of the APIs native to each platform. This makes it extremely simple to develop and deploy apps to a variety of platforms. Additionally, it allows the apps to make use of the native components of whatever platform they are deployed to.

This post first reviews the different features of Expo and how they can be used to rapidly develop and deploy software. Then, we’ll talk through the steps you’ll need to take to get up and running with the tool.
