The screenshot says it all. I did it! It’s a proud feeling. Now rather than rambling here, I’ve done that on the beautiful git repository I have created for my Ruby on Rails blog. Check it out – https://github.com/anuragbhd/ror-blog.
Mon blog en français
Posted on under Life & Thoughts — 3 Comments
Ici je suis écrit en français. C’est mon prèmier blog en français: un effort sincère sans beaucoup d’aide de Google Translate. Je n’écris pas beaucoup mots que je ne connais pas. Mais je ne devrais pas me limiter à l’écriture de blogs pour apprendre le français. Je devrais écouter des chansons françaises et lire leurs paroles. Et […]
Fun trip to Bangalore (March ’17 edition)
Posted on under Life & Thoughts — 1 Comment
Don’t let “edition” in the title mislead you into believing I’ve had a lot of fun trip to Bangalore before. But I’m hoping I will going forward. Nishith and I went on an official trip to attend Microsoft’s March 16-17 Tech Summit event. I have nothing much to say about the event other than it was […]

Everyone is talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI). Recent times have seen a big surge in AI research and huge investments in that direction by corporates and academia. Major IT and consulting players have even declared AI as an emerging trend, and have started offering AI-based services to their clients. Working at Accenture Labs, it’s a […]

You have no doubt heard of Progressive Web Apps by now, PWA for short, haven’t you? No? That’s okay. The thing is still pretty new. Although the concept is not entirely unique, recent advances in web standards & technologies have now made it possible to create mobile-first web apps that work equally well on desktops […]
stackoverflow

Stack Overflow is an interesting place. I have never really used my SO account, other than to ask a couple of meteor.js questions. That was 4 years ago! SO is something I visit almost everyday. I know you do that too, so keep that condescending smirk to yourself will ya? I think time has come […]
TypeScript, whoa!
Posted on under Coding & Tech — Leave a comment
Finally the time has come. I had been avoiding it for years. I cannot escape it anymore. Finally the time has come to learn and embrace TypeScript. I am developing a small proof of concept mobile app at work. Creating mobile apps, especially hybrid ones, is not a big task anymore. Only this time instead of […]

ASP.NET Web API allows only one body parameter in POST
Posted on under Coding & Tech — Leave a comment
Say with me, “ASP.NET Web API allows only one body parameter in POST”. And again, “ASP.NET Web API allows only one body parameter in POST”. Now repeat it 100 times. It’s tiresome and probably utterly unnecessary. But that’s the only way to remember it. Believe me. I keep falling in the trap and repeating the […]
Trying out Ruby on Rails
Posted on under Coding & Tech — Leave a comment
I never imagined this day would come. I am finally trying to catch up with the RoR phenomenon. And I am at least 8-10 years late. Teaching enterprise software development made me appreciate a strict adherence to coding best practices even more. That’s where Rail’s philosophy got me interested, especially its Convention over Configuration doctrine. What […]
