It’s been a remarkably busy week with so many big announcements and it’s shaping up to be a very busy month… We wanted to release a new plugin update this week but due to some external pressure we will update the plugin next week and keep this Friday update only to the libraries. On stackoverflow there were quite a lot of questions: Is there a way in which one can read data stored in a file with extension of .sql Shipping an app wi..

As Go community slowly moving towards established and well understood patterns and practices of dependency management, there are still some confusing moments. One of them is automating repeatable build process using containers along with using dependencies in private repositories. Private repositories on Github are often is a source of confusion when using go get, but it has easy workaround by adding two lines to your .gitconfig: [url ..

The good news is that I'm officially restarting work on The Complete Friday Q&A: Volume II. I got partway into it a while ago and ran out of steam. The restarted edition includes all posts made since then, making it pretty massive. I can't commit to a specific timeframe, but I hope that it will be a few months at most before I have it out. There may be opportunities for reader involvement in checking and polishing it, so watch this space. ..

Cerberus is a lightweight and extensible data validation library for Python. Beta has been around since 2012. During this time Cerberus has been serving as the validation system for Eve core. It has been also adopted by a quite a lot open source projects, averaging around 18K downloads per month on PyPI and collecting some remarkable endorsements . All things considered, I would dare to claim that Cerberus is battle tested to death.....

With Java 8 now in the mainstream, Scala and Clojure are no longer the only choices to develop readable, functional code for big data technology on the JVM. In this post we see how SoundCloud is leveraging Apache Crunch and the new Crunch Lambda module to do the high-volume data processing tasks which are essential at early stages in our batch data pipeline efficiently, robustly and simply in Java 8.

When people hear about dropping support for a certain Internet Explorer version, they mostly think of all the CSS hacks and workarounds that could be removed as a consequence. However, dropping support for IE8 can have subtle, but profound effects on your JavaScript.

Why is there no common definition of ‘Digital’? Like all buzzwords, “Digital” is starting to get my goat. Everyone uses it, in every context, thinking it refers to some avant-garde business strategy or must have part of their personal lives. If Digital can mean everything, then does it mean anything at all? I’m not alone in my confusion. When I questioned a number of colleagues, none felt they had a satisfactory definition. These were seaso..

While the Codename One skin file format is trivial it is a bit under documented, to partially alleviate this problem we created a simple tool: Skin Designer . This tool allows us to create a device skin from two images (landscape & portrait). This skin file can then be used with the Codename One simulator & also contributed so other developers can enjoy it! The first version of this tool is relatively simple but should allow you to..

One of my pet peeves when we switched to github was that email notifications never worked for me. For most repositories I had to setup my own account just to get emails. I’m guessing that this is a common problem for those of us who are used to emails notifying us of changes. So we went over all the repositories at github.com/codenameone and made them all send an email to the codenameone-commits google group .

If this look like the org. chart of the place you work at, you might want to consider thinking to go somewhere else. No organisation ever started to end up like this, but it usually happen when you do not ingrain a culture of learning into your people and your organisation. This happen when you put people who are just about the how, without understanding the why. The moment people stop caring where the company is going, and just care about..

Debugging Codename One apps on iOS devices has been documented well with a video for years, we didn’t spend too much time outlining the Android counterpart mostly because we didn’t really use it as much and it was far simpler. As Android Studio launched this actually became really easy as it was possible to actually open the gradle project in Android Studio and just run it. But due to the fragile nature of the gradle project this st..

Bluetooth is one of those specs that makes me take a step back… It’s nuanced, complex and multi-layered. That isn’t necessarily bad, it solves a remarkably hard problem. Unfortunately when people say the words “bluetooth support” it’s rare to find two people who actually mean the same thing! So while we did have a lot of requests for bluetooth support over the years most of them were too vague and when we tried to follow thru we us..

In karate practice we train by performing a predefined sequences of actions, called “kata”. These include blocks, strikes, stances and jumps in a strictly defined sequence. Throughout the kata, every body part has an exact purpose. The legs do stances and kicks. The arms and forearms - blocks an punches. Even the smallest parts of the body have a part. The eyes need to look in the direction of the technique, the feet need to “grab” the fl....

Editor note: CocoaPods remains supported, but current iOS dependency guidance now also covers Swift Package Manager (SPM) and mixed CocoaPods/SPM setups. See the current “Working with iOS” section in the developer guide. CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C Cocoa projects. It has over eighteen thousand libraries and can help you scale your projects elegantly. Cocoapods can be used in your Codename One project..

When we face choice and say “Yes, I will do that. I am that kind of person,” we use our identity to justify our choice of action. The choice might not be the most convenient, but it matches our preconception of who we are. When we decide whether to make our bed in the morning, whether to drive above the speed limit, whether to drink coffee or take a nap when tired, our identity has a say in the decision. If we consider ourselves tidy, we’....

Woke up this morning to the amazing news of Google winning against Oracle on the issue of fair use! This is great news for everyone as it effectively makes “clean room implementation” legal. This solidifies Java’s status as “open” showing that even its owner has limitations on their power. I might write more about this next week if I have some time, I just hope the verdict doesn’t get turned in an appeal.

Properly used, user research will destroy your product. This is a feature, not a bug. You have an idea, maybe even a great one. You’ve done your design sprint, your visioning session, your intense few days of white-boarding. You’ve built your draft roadmap, have a few personas and a well-worn copy of the Lean Startup. No plan, though, survives its first contact with the enemy.
