Software engineering and personal development
I recently published an article in TowardsDataScience.com, which is one of the most popular data science publications on Medium.
It is about advice on how someone can learn programming by using a similar approach to how Einstein learned Physics.

It’s not a surprise that a long time of people’s time these days is spent watching YouTube videos. It has a lot of video content for different things, whether that’s for watching a university lecture, sport event, or a programming tutorial.

If you are sometimes feeling bored and want to entertain yourself, then rather than aimlessly scrolling in a social media, you can try to learn something new. For example, you can learn something that you have not known that you can do with Ruby: Getting the dates for next Mondays, Tuesdays or any other day of the week. 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

iTerm is a really great terminal replacement that I really like to use. One feature that I wanted to have after my migration from Windows to OS X is the ability to jump between words in the command line, and not having to go through the whole line character by character. It turns out that this is possible quite easily and without much pain and effort from your side. You do not need to pay 1 BTC to Apple to get this working. You only need to make a few keystroke changes in your iTerm preferences and you are done. Continue reading
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

It is no surprise that you may need to work with different programming languages, or at least use many methods. You may not be sure how do you call a method, how many parameters does it have, or the type of objects for each parameters. During these cases, having a quick look up on the API documentation helps you immensely. Continue reading
Writing tests represents one of those few stages of software development that is usually overlooked, even though it may be one of the most important. Developers mention it and usually are either uncomfortable and prefer not to write tests for their code, or have many excuses for not writing them at all.

As I wrote in a previous post, one other article that I had the pleasure to write has been published in SimpleProgrammer.com. It is about emulating the patterns of the Nobel Prize winner physicist, Albert Einstein in software development. I invested more than eleven hours in it, taking into account the research, article outline, writing, and reformulating the points that I wanted to mention. It may seem so much time, but I enjoyed writing it, and I am grateful that so many people have found it helpful. Continue reading

When you are programming, there are cases when you implement something in such a way that it is difficult to understand and reuse by others. As a result, you decide to write comments above it to explain the logic behind your code. The moment you decided to write this type of comment, you admitted that your implementation is already complicated enough so that others or your future self would benefit from adding this plain English type of explanation.
