The Secrets to Staying Motivated as a Software Developer

Blog

“I don’t want to code this.” “I don’t care anymore.” “Why am I still working here?” That feeling when coding a simple “for” loop seems unbearable. You know you love programming, but it has become boring, frustrating and even painful. You see your coworkers busily at work around you, and you don’t understand how they can stand it anymore. So what happened? How do you move on? How do you keep motivated? Understanding Your Intrinsic Motivations You might not loathe programming yet. But if you’re having doubts about your job, and you’re not doing anything about it, it can only go downwards. Why do you go to work? Like (almost) everyone, your first motivation is probably money. You need money to make a living. However I bet that more money won’t…

Understanding the DNS Process , How Website Is Found

Blog

You might have the best web site design for florists, but do you ask yourself, “What is DNS?” “Do I need to use DNS?” Do you feel confused? In some cases, DNS can be convoluted and complicated. Let’s talk about Domain Name System (DNS) services. When you need to access a website, you type the domain name, such as www.google.com, into the web browser instead of typing an IP address. A conversion happens between www.google.com to 172.217.12.46, an IP, which designated to a device on the Internet. This conversion is a DNS query, an integral part of devices connecting with each other to communicate over the internet. To understand the DNS query process, let’s talk about how a DNS query routes through different components, and is important to protect your…

Use Fetch API for web apps

Blog

Fetch API has become the standard for web API requests for a while now and it is supported in almost any modern browsers nowadays. Let’s use Fetch API and implement it for the web Use Fetch API Previously, there are many existing solutions for handling API requests for the web, ex. jQuery Ajax, request (node), axios (node) … why there needs another? Why Fetch API? Fetch API is the standard API being supported native in most of today web browsers. Fetch API is widely supported – caniuse.com Hmm, IE is not supported, you ask?

Introducing Ionic 4

Blog

By Max Lynch Today I am thrilled to announce the 4.0 release of Ionic Framework, lovingly known as “Ionic for Everyone.” Ionic 4 represents the culmination of more than two years of research and hard work transforming Ionic from “mobile for Angular” into a powerful UI Design System and app framework for every web developer in the world. There are so many things to talk about with this release, but first I’d like to talk about how we got here. The Angular Years Back in 2013 when we started working on Ionic Framework, we sought to build rich JavaScript-powered components for building quality mobile apps with web technologies, and distribute them as custom HTML tags that any web developer could use in their apps. Unfortunately, there was no standard way…

Animating URLs with Javascript and Emojis

Blog

You can use emoji (and other graphical unicode characters) in URLs. And wow is it great. But no one seems to do it. Why? Perhaps emoji are too exotic for normie web platforms to handle? Or maybe they are avoided for fear of angering the SEO gods? Whatever the reason, the overlapping portion on the Venn diagram of "It's Possible v.s. No One Is Doing It" is where my excitement usually lies. Graphically animating URLs is a new thing. So I decided to put a little time into the possibilities of graphical characters in URLs. Specifically, with the possibility for animating these characters by way of some Javascript. Loopin' First off, make sure your page's Javascript code is being labelled as UTF-8 or you're gonna have a bad time putting…

Understanding Transport Layer Security TLS .

Blog

TLS is the critical Internet infrastructure that makes commerce, trust, and confidentiality possible. Transport Layer Security is on the short list for "most important security protocol on the Internet." It is designed to enable client-server applications like web browsers and servers to securely communicate over the Internet, protecting against eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery. Each party can know that the other is who they claim to be. TLS is the technological descendant of Secure Sockets Layer and is often referred to casually as SSL. The earlier SSL versions were developed by Netscape Communications. In the late 1990s, after AOL bought Netscape, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) took over the protocol. Version 1.0 of TLS had only small differences compared with SSL 3.0.…

The Ultimate Guide To Proper Use of Animation in UX

Blog

Nowadays it’s hard to impress or even surprise with an interface animation. It shows interactions between screens, explains how to use the application or simply directs a user’s attention. While exploring the articles about animation, I found out that almost all of them describe only specific use cases or general facts about animation, but I haven’t come across any article where all rules concerning animation of interfaces would be clearly and practically described. Well, in this article I won’t write anything new, I just want to collect all the main principles & rules in one place, so that other designers who want to start animating interfaces don’t have to search for additional information. Duration and speed of the animation When elements change their state or position, the duration of the…

No time but eager to hear PHP news? PHP 7.3 is out in December 2018 and it brings 173 changes. Which are the most useful ones? From features that might be the most interesting to those lesser ones, that anybody will rarely use. 1. Comma After the Last Argument Do you know this? $array = [ 1, + 2, ]; We'll be able to do this: $this->someFunction( $arg, + $arg2, ); But still not this: function someFunction( $arg, + $arg2, ) {} Thanks Jacob for pointing this difference out. 25 seconds to go... 2.
