This is the third post of a series about asynchronous programming. The whole series tries to answer the simple question: “What is asynchrony?”. At first, when I just started digging into the question – I thought that I know what it is. It turned out that I didn’t know a clue about what asynchrony is...
It is common secret that Python programming language has a solid claim to being the fastest-growing major programming language witnessing an extraordinary growth in the last five years, as seen by Stack Overflow traffic. Based on data describing the Stack Overflow question views which go to late 2011, the growth of Python relative to five other major...
Never ask advice of someone with whom you wouldn’t want to trade places — Darren Hardy The idea to collect a list of books that knowledgeable, experienced and well-known programmers recommends to read comes to me from The long Journey to Ruby Mastery conference talk by Bozhidar Batsov. Here I share what I have found so far: the books recommendations...
Have you went through the official React’s Tic Tac Toe tutorial? If you have, you might notice this bolded text in the introduction You might be tempted to skip it because you’re not building games — but give it a chance. I’m guessing even React team knows that it’s not that interesting to build a Tic...
I can honestly say I have enjoyed working with Java for quite some time now. When I first became a developer, I worked with backend technologies like EJB2, DB2, and Oracle. From there, I moved towards natural language processing-based bots including Spring Boot, Redis, RabbitMQ, Open NLP, IBM Watson, and UIMA. For years, my language...
Julia Programming Language is Fastest Growing Than Others, Stat Charts Rapid Rise in 2018-19 By Kimberly Cook | 28-Jan-2019 | 37470 Views Up-and-coming language Julia programming language is gaining momentum with programmers, according to its creators. Julia, created in 2009 by MIT researchers, made its public debut in 2012 and over the past year has quickly climbed the ranks...
Lists are a basic building block for a developer in any language. Python is no different. However at first, list comprehension can sometimes seem confusing. Since it is not an available feature in all languages, it may also be a concept that is completely unfamiliar. Some popular languages that include list comprehension are JavaScript, Perl...

In computer science, it seems that everybody is focusing on the programming language that the teacher or department chooses – be it Java, C#, Ruby or Python. Deciding upon a programming language to teach is only one step, however. The next question is – how do we gain confidence within ourselves to learn this language, in...
Over the past few days I took some time to work on a project I had in mind for ages, a scripting alternative to Bash: let me introduce you to the ABS programming language. Why Let me keep this brief: we all love shell programming — automating repetitive tasks without too much effort. We might probably agree that...

The new year is always a great time for reflection on the past year, but also a time to look forward to the next year and to imagine what’s to come. For programmers, this is a good time to think about new skills you want to learn or interesting projects you want to take part...
On making sense of everything you know, and don’t, as a software developer Being a software developer is about more than just knowing how to crunch long lines code. Sure, that is one aspect of it, and a very important one at that, but there’s a lot more that you need to know in order...
Hello guys, do you want to learn how to avoid deadlock while writing concurrent programs, especially in Java? Writing correct concurrent application is never easy as you have to deal with several concurrency issues like race conditions, livelock, deadlock, memory interference etc. In this article, I’ll tell you how to avoid deadlock while writing a concurrent program...
Programming is about solving real world problems, each program describes the different instructions, actions and events “What to do if..?” to deal with some problems. Programming is like creating a life style following some rules which are defined by the programmer. We might be the author of the life story of someone who trusted us...
Originally posted at carloscuesta’s blog It’s been a while since I’ve started working with React and React-Native in production. One of the greatest things about React is the flexibility the library gives to you. Meaning that you are free to decide how do you want to implement almost every detail of your project for example the architecture and structure. However this freedom on the long term, could...
Can functional programming support more efficient blockchain infrastructure, who is using it and why? To say that blockchain technology is fascinating would be an understatement. Hundreds of blockchain projects have already been deployed and hundreds more will launch in the coming months. As companies develop more advanced blockchain infrastructure and applications, a future that revolves around...
This tutorial will show you how to install Python (via Anaconda) on your machine. Before getting started with the installation, let’s learn a bit more about what Anaconda exactly is. Python is the programming language which will be installed on the machine and on top of that different IDEs and packages can be installed. Python...
The major programming languages all share several traits, including substantial ecosystems that make them quite versatile, large user communities that make hiring easier, and proven track records in real-world use. They also have fundamental, intrinsic qualities that imbue them with unique strengths (and weaknesses). Here are my insights on 14 popular languages (as ranked by Redmonk). A note about language choice Different...
