Practical tech advice
As promised, this is the second part of my pocket-book introduction to async programming. Let’s continue! If this article does not make sense, please check part I before shouting at me! Map-reduce models The map reduce approach is widely used in doing big data analysis. The model itself it’s a variation on the split-apply-combine approach, […]
Asynchronous programming is everywhere around us and it’s here to stay. You might have noticed that CPU’s keep getting more cores as time goes by. Therefore, it would be a shame to let all those cores go unused in your app. In this article I shall be your guide through the various async programming patterns […]
What does make a good coder ? Is it the number of lines of code they write in a day ? How about the number of work hours they put in the office? Maybe it’s how fast they code, how quickly they solve any given issue? Well, as you might have guessed by now, I […]
I know there are millions of answers to this question (I for one get 484,000,000 hits on google when I search for How to write better code). They all seem to revolve around the same general idea, so I will not be repeating that. You are free to do a google search yourself and read through those. […]
Unless you are really, and I mean really, lucky, you are bound to be stuck on a legacy project with a thousand-year-old codebase. Maybe not a thousand years, but close enough. If it’s any like the code I have been working on, it’s big, really big, it’s complicated, no one really understands how it fully […]
