Yes, procrastination sucks, but it is part of life, stop complaining about it and do something about it. Here are some tips I am using myself or have used at some point and have helped me along the way. Start somewhere with a schedule for your days with objectives Achieving your goals assumes you have defined some, and if your day is not going as you want, probably worth thinking what was that you wanted on the first place, what were you go..

This has been a very busy week, we published new information on the properties approach which I’m excited about but I’m not sure if I can drum up your enthusiasm… Steve made a big post about mysql support too. Today’s library update includes new simulator code that might break some apps if you’ve refactored stuff around so be vigilant and let us know if something suddenly stops working. On stack overflow things were as usua..

For the second time now I’ve had to implement a system that syncs from my system of record into Salesforce.com, the first at Heroku and now at Citus Data . The case here is pretty simple, I have a software-as-a-service, B2B product. It’s a homegrown application in these cases in Ruby, but could be Python, .Net, any language of your choosing. The problem is I don’t want to have to be rebuilding my own CRM, reporting, etc. on top of all of m....

Meet Alan and Grace. These lighthearted, 8-bit characters were nominated in early 2014 to become the iconic mascots of Engineering at Cerner. Have you ever wondered who these 80’s video gaming inspired characters on our Engineering t-shirts are? Why were they chosen as mascots? What do they represent? The countless hours spent pondering these questions will be no more. Pull up a chair as we dive into the mystery behind the dynamic duo known..

Fundamental to the job of a user experience (UX) designer is a clear understanding of users, their needs, skills and priorities. As part of my experience on Bahmni's design team, our challenge was in building a feature-rich hospital management system for users unfamiliar with technology. The system needed to work for low-resource (including monetary, infrastructure, and human resources) environments.

It’s been a little over 2 years since I joined Thoughtworks as a recruiter. A lot has been said about Thoughtworks’ dauntingly different culture. I had heard about it as well. So when I first came here, I was unsure about what to expect and if I would gel with fellow Thoughtworkers.

In the following series of blog posts I’m going to shift some attention to server-side development in so much as it can complement a Codename One client application. In this post I’ll demonstrate how you can combine a MySQL database, a web-service layer, and a Codename One client to produce a “Contacts” app. I’m going to steal the Contacts code from the Kitchen Sink demo for the UI, but I’ll implement a different datasource that loads the c..

React Native continues on a development spree in late 2016. With an ambitious two-week release cycle, the framework makes rapid progress towards feature and performance parity with its native Android and iOS equivalents. At the same time, these quick release periods frequently introduce breaking changes, difficulty with setup, and challenges with basic configuration. Enter Exponent, a tool that promises easier setup, development, and de....

One of the frustrating parts in Codename One is builds failing in the cloud, the expectation is that a build that passes locally would pass in the cloud and that is something we strive to have at all times. One of the more common failures for new developers is due to refactoring of the main class or changing the signatures of the methods e.g. adding a throws clause to start().

In an ever long pursuit to diversify my income (I’m already signing up for checking accounts just for the bonuses as well as buying and reselling things on eBay ), I’ve taken up the hobby of designing t-shirts. I only have three so far (well, I have a first one , but it was more to learn the platform), and none have sold. Not surprising since I only launched one yesterday and two today.

Just over a week ago, we were sponsors at the Brighton conference, ffconf. It was a day full of brilliant talks, both thought provoking and useful. Ashley Williams of npm gave a talk titled “A brief history of modularity”, which we felt was particularly relevant to Snyk, and so we thought we’d share a summary of the talk here.

If you read the official Ubuntu Core docs, you’ll see that the recommended way to run Ubuntu Core virtually is with KVM. However, it’s probably even easier to use it in VirtualBox, and I’ve been getting some questions about that, so I wanted to devote a quick post to it. Prerequisites: A Linux machine (using Ubuntu 16.04 here). This guide will work on Windows as well, but the command invocations are a bit different and I don’t have a machi..

We usually just add a new feature and then tell you about it in these posts but properties is a special case and this post is intended not just as a tutorial but as a solicitation of feedback… We committed properties as a deprecated API because we aren’t sure yet. This could be a very important API moving forward and we want as much peer review as possible over this.

I deal with a lot of questions every day and unfortunately most of them are phrased in a way that forces me to guess. There are some guidelines on how to ask a question but I think they are mostly pretty bad. Asking a question “correctly” helps you tremendously both in getting a correct answer faster and also in solving your own question. Following these three rules will significantly improve your questions:

Race" is more of a social construct than a biological distinction. That doesn’t mean "races" don’t exist, it just means it’s difficult, if not impossible, to label people with a distinct, finite number of races.

I'm a guy from northern Alabama. I write software, and I've spoken at a conference or two. I wrote a package manager for Drupal 6 that was used on 3,300+ servers. There are a few other bits of code floating around out there as well. Most of it is open source. Below is a list of contributions I've made. Some of these patches are exclusively my code, but by nature open source is collaberative.

This week we (thankfully) aren’t releasing a plugin update and just releasing the standard weekly release as usual. Hopefully, things will cool down a bit..

Codename One has always provided access to the device’s photos and videos via Display.openGallery() but it hasn’t provided an API to open arbitrary file types because this type of functionality was not available on most mobile platforms. Times have changed and most platforms now offer support for more than just images and photos, so we decided to provide access to this functionality as a cn1lib. Here is a short introduction to the cn1-filec..
