Category: Programming

A big part of my work has to do with code. I’ve worked as system administrator – installing, patching, and configuring someone else’s code. I’ve worked as independent programmer, writing code on my own. I also programmed as part of the team. And on top of that, I worked as Team Leader and Project Manager, where I had to interact a lot with programmers. Programming world on its own is as huge as the universe. There is always something to learn. When I find something worthy or something that I understand enough to write about, I share it in this category.

CakeFest 2016

I’ve just purchased my ticket for CakeFest 2016! Feeling super excited … Whoop whoop! :)

I’ve attend quite a few events in the last 15-20 years, ranging from generic TEDx, through startup and entrepreneur, generic technology, web development, PHP, and software specific ones.  CakeFest 2014 back in Madrid, Spain was one of the most memorable and is definitely in top 3 of my all time favorites.  So I’m excited about the opportunity to do it all over again, this time in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

If you are involved at all with CakePHP framework, I strongly recommend you get your ticket, while it’s still at the “blind bird” price of $150 USD for the two day conference event.  If you are very new to CakePHP, you might want to consider the workshops as well, but make sure you do the main conference no matter what.

Chrome DevTools : Remote Debugging Devices

Remote debugging on Android with Chrome DevTools sounds like the best thing since sliced bread for anybody involved in web development.  TL;DR version:

  • There’s no substitute for debugging your site on a real device. Debug browser tabs on your device from your development workspace using remote debugging.
  • You don’t have to shift attention between your device and development screens. Use screencasting to display your device’s screen along side your developer tools.

Pull request guidelines for Bitbucket Cloud

Bitbucket is often viewed as second best compared to GitHub.  And while I love GitHub dearly, I have to say that it’s not true.  It’s as good as GitHub.  Sure, it doesn’t offer all GitHub features yet (Releases, for example), but it does offer a few features of its own, which are not found in GitHub (Projects and Approvals come to mind).

With the recent advances in Atlassian Connect – an API integration layer – there’s been quite a few apps and services that extend Bitbucket beyond what GitHub users are accustomed to.  Have a look at this Pull request guidelines for Bitbucket Cloud.

overview

It looks simple.  But it’s super handy and provides functionality, which is not as trivial as you might think.
