  • An Angular Wish List

    Angular is an excellent, full-featured JavaScript platform, but a stagnant framework is a dead framework. New features enhance functionality and provide new opportunities for developers to build wonderful apps. In this article, Eamon O'Tuathail makes suggestions on how to expand Angular's reach into new, exciting ways.

  • Untangling an API-First Transformation at Scale. Lessons Learnt at PayPal – Part 1

    In the first of three articles, Erik Hogan describes how PayPal went from a monolithic, siloed architecture to a much more loosely coupled set of over 150 services with well designed, modern APIs over the course of three years.

  • RXJava2 by Example

    In the ongoing evolution of paradigms for simplifying concurrency under load, the most promising addition is reactive programming, a specification that provides tools for handling asynchronous streams of data and for managing flow-control, making it easier to reason about overall program design. In this article we overcome the learning curve with a gentle progression of examples.

  • Virtual Panel: Microservices in Practice

    Microservices have gone from development practices for the select few to something many developers in a range of organisations are embracing. Some believe that technologies that can assist with developing and adopting microservices are ineffective without associated changes within the organisations. We spoke with panelists to get different perspectives on the state of the art with microservices.

  • Getting Components to Communicate in Angular

    Components are the building blocks of Angular and every visual element in an Angular application is made with components. When we start breaking components apart into smaller components, we need to make sure they're able to pass data back and forth. That's when proper component communication becomes essential in our apps to keep all of our data in sync.

  • More Than React: Why You Shouldn’t Use ReactJS for Complex Interactive Front-End Projects, Part I

    Does React function as well in complex interactive front-end projects as it does in simple interactive websites? In this article, Yang Bo introduces several problems encountered when using React in large projects and why he decided to develop a new framework to compete.

  • Introduction to Machine Learning with Python

    This series will explore various topics and techniques in machine learning, arguably the most talked-about area of technology and computer science over the past several years. We’ll begin, in this article, with an extended “case study” in Python: how can we build a machine learning model to detect credit card fraud?

  • Building Reactive Applications with Akka Actors and Java 8

    Akka and Java 8 make it possible to create distributed microservice-based systems that just a few years ago were the stuff of dreams. Actor based systems enable developers to create quickly evolving microservice architectures that can elastically scale systems to support huge volumes of data.

  • Virtual Panel: What's Next for .NET?

    A lot happened in the last year in the .NET ecosystem. Putting aside the details, the bigger picture is difficult to grasp. There is movement in all aspects: cross-platform, cloud, mobile, web apps and universal apps. Developers wonder where all of this is going to lead and what will be required to get there.

  • Improve Your Node.js App Throughput One Micro-optimization at a Time

    To improve the performance of a Node.js application that involves IO, you need to understand how your CPU cycles are spent and what is preventing higher degrees of parallelism in your application. In this article, Jorge Bay shares his insights on areas that cause throughput degradation and tips on how to boost performance.

  • Q&A on The Antifragility Edge: Antifragility in Practice

    In the book The Antifragility Edge, Sinan Si Alhir shows how antifragility has been applied to help organizations evolve and thrive. He provides examples of how antifragility can be used beyond agility on an individual, collective (team and community) and enterprise level, and explores a roadmap for businesses to achieve greater antifragility.

  • Adding Purpose to Scrum with Holacracy

    Organisations passionately working with Scrum are still missing a key ingredient: their organizational governance got stuck in the last century. Holacracy can be a complete replacement for the traditional management hierarchy and can significantly increase motivation and productivity.
