Yeah, I’m that guy who’s always doing something.
Deno v1 is here, and so is my experiment. Unlike my usual first programs, this one is a bit better than a pure “Hello, world”. So not only it is a meaningful program (does not literally print out “hello world”), it also has data models, unit tests and CI integration (Travis). From its documentation: A […]
https://github.com/anuragbhd/express-api-refkit I frequently create APIs for muse/professional apps, and every time I find myself scrambling to pick the best pieces from my previously built APIs or online repositories. To streamline this, I recently created this reference kit (mostly for myself) to help me in writing a production-grade Express-based API from scratch. Sharing with this group in hopes that my fellow […]
More than 2 years ago, I created a lightweight point of sale system (POS) for our restaurant in Jalandhar called SkewerSpot (SS). I wrote the thing in under a week (cowboy coding, yodlee yodlee youdoo) in Ionic/Angular. Essentially, it’s a collection of hybrid mobile apps that allows a restaurant to manage orders in real-time via […]
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 […]
I have been developing mobile web apps since quite some time now, mostly using popular JavaScript frameworks, like Sencha Touch, which give a native look & feel to the app. Web apps have their merits, but using a platform’s SDK in order to develop a true native app is is inevitable in cases where you […]
Another of my free time exercises, Unjumble does just that – it unscrambles a jumbled/scrambled word into all possible English dictionary words that can be formed out of that jumbled word. The interface is extremely simple. You have a textbox to input your jumbled word, and as you type, all unjumbled word suggestions start appearing […]
A very simple password management tool that I developed in my free time. It aims to simplify the task of copy-pasting frequently used text, like usernames and passwords. A Windows-only tool, it’s code purely in C#, and makes use of the wonderfully portable SQLite to store entries in the backend. The interface includes 2 components […]
Continuing my Java learning stint, I started experimenting on RPM packages in the Granular 2008 repository by extracting meta data from them using various Java classes I had written for my on-going college major project. To give a shape (end-user interface) to these leisurely done Java programs, I used my existing project MyBlog to create […]
This thought occurred to me when I was preparing for my end-semester exam of the Information Security Systems course. The course was all about computer networks, security, and cryptology. Before I come to the topic of this post, let me give a brief introduction to Monoalphabetic ciphers. Monoalphabetic cipher is a way to encrypt data […]
