TL;DR: I offer declarative strongly typed layouts with data bindings in pure Java. Android UI development is broken. It normally ends up with lots of boilerplate code and poor architecture. Here are some (very subjective) issues: There is no MVC (or M-V-Whatever). XMLs always contain lots of copy-pasted code, very poor code reuse. XMLs are very fragile, so you can type “TextVeiw” and it will not warn you during the compilation but will thro..

MongoDB is one of the most well-known NoSQL solutions in the industry due to its high performance, availability, scalability and ease of operations. But it can also be an important tool in enabling agile engineering practices. At a premier U.S. clothing retailer, we employ MongoDB for a wide range of supply chain systems, including various master data management, inventory and logistics functions as well as purchase order management.

I love doodling, I always have. I used to doodle everywhere. All the rear pages of my books used to be messy with my drawings. Our education system focuses mostly on getting the best out of the students by drilling down their heads and asking them to study hard. A typical career aspiration of parents is to see their kids become an engineer, doctor, CA but not an artist, musician, or farmer. Teachers who guide us towards our career path als..

A trait object in Rust 0 can only be constructed out of traits that satisfy certain restrictions, which are collectively called “object safety”. This object safety can appear to be a needless restriction at first, I’ll try to give a deeper understanding into why it exists and related compiler behaviour. This is the second (and a half) in a short series of articles on trait objects. The first one— Peeking inside Trait Objects —set the....

Ideation We all get great ideas. Some ideas work, while others don’t. Have you wondered why those ideas don’t work? Based on my experience, a good number of my ideas didn’t work because I was unable to sell them to the intended audience. I was unable to convince them, or perhaps I tried the wrong approach in telling them that this was a great idea. I went to the extent of becoming judgemental towards those who didn’t accept my ideas. Have y..

Since we agreed to let the road between us Fall to disuse, And bricked our gates up, planted trees to screen us, And turned all time’s eroding agents loose, Silence, and space, and strangers - our neglect Has not had much effect.

One of the key objectives of a project inception is to collect requirements collaboratively. But, many times, it is difficult to decide where to start and what to focus on. Story mapping is an engaging activity where all participants are involved in the process of building the product backlog on a wall, versus writing a dull 100-page requirement document.

I’ve looked up to these people and tried to find out the ‘secret ingredient’ that makes them stand out. By talking to them and attending coaching meetings, I found these 5 tips on how I could do a good job on my project. I hope they help you too!

Introduction Having some basic skills in debugging Go programs can save any programmer a good amount of time trying to identify problems. I believe in logging as much information as you can, but sometimes a panic occurs and what you logged is not enough. Understanding the information in a stack trace can sometimes mean the difference between finding the bug now or needing to add more logging and waiting for it to happen again.

NOTE : The information in this blog post is out of date. Codename One now fully supports the Collection.toArray(T[] arr) method, including the case where arr is an array of size 0 . A recent issue in the issue tracker on the new iOS VM reminded me of a serious pet peeve and big design mistake in the Java Collections API, something that is just unfixable and wrong yet appears often in code from developers trying to be clever.

Robert C. Martin is at it again this time targeting the (infamous?) Interface construct in a funny way. As both a C# and Python coder I couldn’t agree more. Also, let me quote my fellow polyglot developer Nicola Musatti who went all out on the topic: Some of us have known that for the best part of the last 20 years 😉

One of the most powerful parts of the Rust programming language 0 is the trait system . They form the basis of the generic system and polymorphic functions and types. There’s an interesting use of traits, as so-called “trait objects”, that allows for dynamic polymorphism and heterogeneous uses of types, which I’m going to look at in more detail over a short series of posts. Update 2015-02-19 : A lot of this document has been copied....

I moved my office into an incubator / art gallery this week. The move is mostly for my own sanity. Turns out, working alone in your apartment for 9 months isn't the most fun in the world. It's a Herculean effort just to stay motivated. I also lost all semblance of a disciplined sleep schedule. Productivity has been great since the move, and I'm back on a normal sleep schedule. Having people around is great, even if I mostly ..

I needed to do this recently when working with a team to automated releases of several websites. The team have a fairly common setup. They’ve got more than one web server behind a load balancer, the load balancer calls a keep alive page to see if the servers are behaving and if they fail to respond stops sending them traffic until they’re healthy again. What I wanted to do was rename the keep alive page, so the box stops getting new tra..
