Welcome to my frontend... (WIP) :-)
Kubernetes vs Docker vs OpenShift vs ECS vs Jenkins vs Terraform
In short, containers contain code and the resources needed to run the code, while container orchestration is the automation of the management tasks of many containers (clusters).
Learning Piano vs Learning Guitar vs Learning Keyboard vs Learning Violin vs Learning Cello
At first, learning to play the piano is a little easier than learning the guitar. With a piano, a beginner can simply start playing by pressing the keys, while with a guitar you’ll need some practice to get your fingers and hands strong enough to play the notes correctly.
Heroku vs AWS vs DigitalOcean vs Netlify vs Firebase vs Docker
Heroku is a cloud service provider and software development platform that allows developers to quickly deploy and scale applications without the need to consider infrastructure. Heroku is built on top of AWS (Amazon Web Services) and is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) where infrastructure management is abstracted away from developers so that they can focus on the development of their application.
PyCharm vs Spyder vs Jupyter vs Visual Studio vs Anaconda vs IntelliJ
PyCharm and Spyder are both cross-platform IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) featuring many helpful and intelligent features such as code completion, syntax highlighting and style analysis.
OpenGrok vs Sourcegraph vs GitHub vs FishEye vs Source Insight vs Elasticsearch
The tool came along in 2017 and is gradually becoming the "go-to" tool when it comes to code search.
How to publish a programming tutorial
Programming tutorials consist of three things: text, images, and code. Text should be readable, images should be pretty, and code should have syntax highlighting. It is way more time-consuming than it sounds: converting Markdown to HTML, you often find yourself spending more time trying to perfect the look and feel than writing the content.
DEV.to vs Medium vs Hashnode vs Hackernoon
So, you want to publish tutorials or technical articles, whether it’s for yourself or for a brand you manage. Creating and hosting your own blog from scratch is no easy task; luckily there are pre-built and managed platforms where you can publish your work without having to run your own site.
Raspberry Pi vs Arduino
Both devices can be used in similar projects; however, because they are very different devices, one might be better than the other depending on your project’s requirements. Keeping the requirements of your project in mind, consider these factors when making your choice:
My first Python project: Auto-Publish to DEV API
As I am learning programming skills I have thought it a good idea to have an ongoing project that I can work on while learning.
Learning Python: Where to start?
My process of learning is a bit all over the place at the moment but if you are here looking for a way to start I would recommend something like this:
A list of Great Python Projects for Beginners
Here is a list of project tutorials that will get you on the road to building your own Python projects in no time.
How to manage multiple remote repositories with git (terminal)
In this guide, we will go through the steps that I use when setting up and working with multiple remote repositories.
Installing the Firefox web driver on Linux for selenium
In this guide, I will explain the steps I took to manually install the Firefox webdriver on Linux(Debian) and configure the PATH to get selenium working correctly.
Technical Writing: Publishing your own book
This is an easy to follow step by step guide that takes you through the whole publishing process so that the only thing you need to worry about is writing.
Balanced Life: Don't ignore the little things
It is easy when we are immersed in our craft to forget about some of our responsibilities. For instance, when you start dropping balls because your code is taking priority over clean underpants. I am referring to hypothetical balls.
Practice makes your dreams come true
We become frustrated because what we produce is nothing near what we envisioned it to be. Because you have watched so many videos on the subject you can almost confidently reproduce what the masters do, in your mind. But when you practice it in reality your fingers don’t know the way yet.
Why everyone should learn how to code.
We now have the choice to simply enjoy the evolving technology having no idea how it works, or be a part of the global team building it.
My first Computer and Lan parties
Anyway, I think it was a Pentium 4 with 2x 512mb ram, and I have no idea which graphics card. With a huge CRT screen ready for Counter-Strike 1.6 and Quake oh and Unreal Tournament. Man those were the days.
The Virtual Era - Creative Collaboration
Although most of us can now work and tend to meetings in our underpants, we are starting to realize that working from home is not as much fun as we thought it would be.
Technical Writing: Mistakes I've made.
I thought it to be a good idea to share my mistakes here so that fellow aspiring writers might learn from them and also improve on their writing.
Privacy - Enjoy it while it lasts
In the fast-growing online world, more and more people are creating an online presence and living their lives publicly.
Exercise more, code better.
Except for the obvious part of physically feeling good and healthy as my fitness levels increased, I started feeling much better mentally.
Writing a post a day: One word is all it takes
What I do now, after brewing a fresh cup of coffee, I will start writing whatever comes to mind. Only committing to one word. One word quickly becomes a sentence that becomes a paragraph and before I know it I am writing.
The Automation Era: If only we had time
Automation is quickly taking over repetitive tasks, freeing up space in our minds to think about how we can add more value to our loved opensource projects instead. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Learning Python at work: When your job aligns with your hobbies
Apart from how quick and easy it has become to write and run a program, working through the projects and realizing what can be achieved with just a few lines of code has changed my perspective completely
Technical Writing Internship: Writing more, faster.
The first article that I wrote took me about 2 weeks to get published, mostly because I kept changing the content overthinking every word. It is definitely a different ball game, writing for the public eye.
Technical Writing Internship - It can only get better from here...
I have accomplished quite a few things in the past few weeks and started using many new technical services. Everything from Markdown, a new way to format text documents, making a pull request on GitHub, publishing ebooks with LeanPub, building a Python game in my browser with Repl.it and PyGame, and gaining insight into the technical writing process.
