The Irregular Journal of a Pseudo-Random Software Engineer
The Microservices architecture seems to be something that everyone is talking about but only few understand it well, let alone implement it and that too following all best practices. In this second episode, we are joined by a fellow DF member Ashwat to try and demystify the concept. Once we have the general definition out […]
After 3 long months, we had the second edition of Enterprise JavaScript meetup. The first one was in June. It was an interesting meetup. 40-odd people signed up (RSVP’d) and 10 turned up. That’s a nearly 25% conversion rate. Not bad! Despite the small group size, we had a good time. Enterprise JavaScript: Building Beautiful […]
As with a lot of other posts on my blog, this one is also delayed. I mean, A LOT delayed. The event happened in June, so you get the idea. In Delhi/NCR, not a lot of software meetups happen. The scene is maturing but is not yet on par with the other techie cities such […]
I started out learning to create websites by reverse engineering web pages that I found and liked online. The way I got started with CSS is an interesting story. I started developing static websites at a young age. I produced mostly ugly pages by myself and a wee-bit jazzy ones using something like Macromedia DreamWeaver. […]
When I was looking for intro music to use in Dev Blabber podcast series, I came across Joseph McDade‘s work which was recommended by a famous podcaster. As one can see on his website, he’s produced only a handful of tracks. But each one of them is literally high-quality and professional. Clearly, a lot of […]
During my time spent on App Brewery’s Flutter course, I created not one, not two, but 12 (twelve) apps. That’s a bunch! All apps are simple, nothing complicated, except the last 2-3 ones which have slightly complex widget trees. Creating in Flutter is fun, I have said that before. It’s fast and enjoyable. I will […]
This post is long delayed. It should have been an announcement but will now be a backstory. Back in May (4 months ago!), I did a website redesign for SkewerSpot, our family business. SS is a cute little restaurant/cafe in Jalandhar, Punjab, with a wide selection of snacks and waffles. We specialize in waffles, all […]
The first-ever episode of a brand new podcast series called Dev Blabber. It’s an initiative that I came up with as part of the awesome Digital Futurists community, where a bunch of geeks, entrepreneurs and seasoned executives discuss technology and software like crazy. There was a discussion last week in the Coding channel””one of many […]
I have been doing a lot of commits lately. Sadly, none of my dozens of commits are included in my total contribution count on GitHub. Why? Because all those commits were to a forked repository. It’s 2019, and I think it’s plain stupid. I love GitHub, but if there was one thing I’d like to […]
When I was learning React Native, I was sort of super-impressed by its emphasis on animations. We all know how critical animations are in creating experiences that users actually like. RN has a profound Animated API and loads of examples on creating custom animations. There’s only one problem: adding beyond-simple animations is tricky and a […]
