Software engineering and personal development
A few months ago I wrote an article about a really great Chrome extension called Githunt. It basically grabs the most starred GitHub repositories in a day, week, month or year and displays them inside your new Chrome tab page. This way you are way closer to these repositories. This is a new article dedicated to this awesome Chrome extension: It has now been upgraded and has come with additional features that are worth the attention.
Windows XP is one of the most famous operating systems that used to be really hard to get rid of, even though Microsoft itself tried a lot of methods to convince its customers to do the migration to one of its newer operating systems. Now that Github has been bought by Microsoft, many people have started complaining in terms of the implications that this acquisition may have. On the other hand, there are other people who have started to make jokes about this movement. A Chrome plugin has been developed to turn Github into a layout that is similar to Windows XP.
There are so many things that we can learn, and so many resources that we can choose to learn from that it makes it really challenging to choose the right resources that can help us get better jobs, or improve our careers in general. Udacity offers many nano-degrees that we can use to level up our careers with courses that are organized and prepared to help us progress from a beginner level to a more advanced one with quality content. Students who manage to finish the projects get the degree and are guaranteed to get a job related to the degree. If you cannot afford paying for these nanodegrees, fortunately, you can still attend many of the courses that belong to these nanodegrees, without having to pay anything.
I recently stumbled upon a new GitHub repository that has a long list of tutorials building many technologies. The list varies from tutorials on how to Build your own Blockchain / Cryptocurrency to Build your own Web Server and Build your own Template Engine, many more. Continue reading
GitHub is one of the best places for developers to store their projects, collaborate with other colleagues, and learn from other open source projects as well. These type of projects are written in different programming languages, usually using different frameworks. As these frameworks or developers in general usually possess certain ways of organizing their code files into many folders, it makes it a bit difficult to navigate through them manually in GitHub. Luckily there is a really helpful shortcut that help with that. Continue reading

In the last post, we saw how we can translate a variety of dynamic contents that we may have in our Rails applications using globalize gem. There is another complementary gem to globalize that can be used to do these translations inside Rails Admin, which make it a lot easier and simpler to insert these translations inside RailsAdmin’s user friendly interface.

It’s obvious that a lot of applications need an admin panel, where the administrator or other lower level users need privileges to do certain data manipulations. Not everyone of them should be a technical person. Thus, you may need to provide them a user-friendly interface which gives them this opportunity. Fortunately, you can insert an admin panel in your Rails application easily using RailsAdmin.
GitHub is widely known as one of the most famous version control repository, in which you can find pretty much countless public projects for many programming languages. It makes it easy for you to collaborate with your team members, and also with other fellow developers around the globe with many public projects that you can learn and benefit from, and also contribute to. Among many other things, GitHub displays Trending Projects which make it easy for you to differentiate the projects that have received more attention than others. As a result, you have the ability to find projects that have received a lot of stars from other fellow developers in the recent past. Continue reading

I recently had the pleasure to publish my first article at Scotch.io, which is a very popular platform. It is one of the longest articles that I have written so far. It is a written tutorial on how to build a cryptocurrency site in which you can see the changes of values of BitCoin, Ethereum and NasDaq overtime. The project accompanying this article is developed with Ruby on Rails using Test-Driven Development (TDD). Continue reading
