Last fall our team (Mike Tweten, Trevin Teacutter, and Zameer Sura) started working on the problem of automating DC/OS deployments in a way that wouldn’t require multiple teams to duplicate effort and tie themselves directly to DC/OS APIs. While DC/OS certainly makes the act of deploying an application much easier than anything we’ve used previously, there are still many different ways you could choose to layer on deployment strategies and ..

If you are working with software development as a developer, manager or tester, then you will be impacted by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – the new EU laws regarding data privacy. In many ways, the regulation is likely to have as big of an impact as the Y2K problem. But this time it’s because of a good cause! And you cannot ignore it, as the fines for doing so can be crippling.

Avoid using out-of-date operating system images in Docker by always using the `docker build --pull`

I wrote down a note on my task list on the current project, “Investigate whether docker build always gets the latest version of the base image”. The answer is, it does not, by default. Always use the --pull option to get the latest version. When installing any software, it’s important to have security updates applied to all its components, including the operating system. When security fixes are released, new Docker base images are produce..

I redid the include source tutorial which was really old by now and included some outdated “facts” while missing key information. Include source allows us to get the native OS project source code on build, this allows us to debug and profile on the devices. New Codename One users often mix up native interfaces and include source. You shouldn’t change the code generated with “include source”. It’s for debugging purposes only. If you need..

In this tutorial I’ll show how to piece together the required NPM modules to build a REST API in Node.js with proper Swagger documentation. We’re going to use Express as the HTTP framework, and the Swagger documentation will be written as inline comments within the code, as close as possible to the handling endpoint or models that will implement the contract, so it will be harder for them to eventually diverge. First of all, these are the....

Many organizations have become adept at identifying what they need from software development projects, based on a keen understanding of their business goals. Even so, they’re often surprised to find out that the end results don’t achieve the transformative impact they were expecting. Their mistake? Overlooking the importance of Conway’s Law.

Don’t worry, I didn’t get rid of the truck. My home is roughly 16’ x 6’ , or 96 ft 2 . That makes it a little smaller than your average bedroom. In other words, it’s in my best interest to optimize how I use my limited space. Two years ago, I talked about consolidating and defragmenting how I laid out my room. The diagram I used looked like this: × By rearranging my things (all three of them), I was able to ..

Today was the first day of ECAL (European Conference on Artificial Life) 2017 in Lyon, France and my first year attending. It’s lucky I managed to go this year, because apparently this is the last ECAL! Next time it will be turning into the International Conference on Artificial Life and will be held much farther away (I think it is meant to be held in Japan). Although I am already getting my hopes up to go again, not only for the confere..

A common trick for gaining traction is localization to multiple languages, Codename One makes that very simple as we explained here . However, unless you are fluent in multiple languages you will need some help to localize broadly. There are multiple paid services that address this need. There are a couple of pitfalls you can fall into when using such services. The first pitfall is trying to get them to work with Codename One, most suc..

It’s not a very disputed topic that you should backup your database, and further test your backups. What is a little less discussed, at least for Postgres, is the types of backups that exist. Within Postgres there are two forms of backups and understanding them is a useful foundation for anyone working with Postgres. The two backup types are Physical: which consist of the actual bytes on disk, Logical: which is a more portable format. L....
