The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. Looking back over the past 10 years, there are hundreds of lessons that we’ve learned about building and operating services that need to be secure, reliable, scalable, with predictable performance at the lowest possible cost. Given that AWS is a pioneer in building and operating these services world-wide, these lessons have been of crucial importance to our business.
So you just made a fancy new NativeScript Android and iOS application and you’re looking to earn a little cash. There are many solutions out there, for example you could include InAppBilling or list your application as a paid application. You can also include advertisements in your application using various ad networks such as Google Admob. We’re going to take a look at how to include Google Admob in a NativeScript iOS and Android mobile application with the intent of earning a little extra mone
They are in deep trouble. And we should address them now, or never. A tester’s day cannot always end at checking the pile of latest. The post Testers Need Serious Help – Are We Listening to Them? appeared first on Kovair Blog.
The software development life cycle is complex. Among the many moving pieces of developing software is the process of testing. Testing ensures quality in the product and proves the code is functioning as expected and as needed. There are many different testing activities that should occur within the process of building software. User Acceptance Testing, or UAT, is just one of the various types of testing involved in the software development life cycle, and most commonly, it is the final testing
"This technology revolution was not invented by robo-advisers. They have simply noticed, and taken advantage of, a broader and deeper shift towards passive investment through ETFs and index funds." -- John Gapper, Robots are Better Investors than People We like to think of "technology revolutions", but as Mr. Gapper points out, revolutions aren't led by technology.
When using Amazon Redshift, distribution style plays an important role in optimising the table design for best performance. In a nutshell, table’s distribution style dictates how the data is distributed across Redshift node and slices. A key objective is to avoid the data redistribution during query execution or runtime. This is accomplished by locating or co-locating the data where it needs to be before the query is executed.
SpeedCurve users may have noticed some changes recently. At the beginning of March we released a major redesign of our Settings UI that gives users more flexibility to get the exact test results they want. The two biggest changes were to the way we emulate devices and to allow different testing configurations for different sites. Emulated Phones & Tablets.
I am pleased to announce that I created my first ever Hugo Static Website Engine theme called Phlat. This is not only my first Hugo theme, but the first theme I’ve ever created. Before talking about the theme itself I want to give a quick background on Hugo since this is the first time I’ve mentioned it on The Polyglot Developer. The post Phlat Theme For The Hugo Static Website Engine Released appeared first on The Polyglot Developer.

I recently gave a friend a mock interview. He was trying to prepare for a big interview and needed practice. What was interesting was that here was an engineer that I would have hired in a heartbeat and yet his performance during the interview was incredibly mediocre. His first reaction was “I really need to improve my interviewing skills.” The sad thing is, he probably did if he wanted to get that job.
You might not know this, but I run another blog on a completely different subject material than The Polyglot Developer. This other blog is called Own the Web and it focuses on brand building, searching engine optimization, and boosting your online revenue through the internet. Unlike The Polyglot Developer, Own the Web was actually created using the Hugo Static Website Engine.
Recently I found myself needing to copy data from one Couchbase Server cluster to another. More specifically I needed to copy production data to my local instance so I could play around with it. This could be accomplished by backing up and restoring remote data in my local instance. The problem is that I had never done this before. Now I know what you’re thinking, doesn’t this guy work for Couchbase ?
So you’re getting some fancy new features into your NativeScript Android and iOS application. A feature I always find to be useful is having a barcode scanner within my app. Barcodes are a convenient way to pass around information without having to type it in. With NativeScript we can easily add scanning features to our application. We’re going to see how to create a NativeScript Android and iOS application that can scan different types of barcodes.
Have you ever wanted to copy something from your application to the native device clipboard? Maybe you want to copy contact information from a list of elements so you can paste it elsewhere. I recently wrote a post regarding social media sharing with Telerik NativeScript that will let you share to the clipboard, but that is a little overkill. Specially because there are actual clipboard APIs that don’t rely on social media sharing.
Every app lately has some social media aspect to it. Most commonly, apps will allow you to share some kind of data, whether it be an image or text, to social media networks such as Facebook or Twitter. Sharing via email or SMS message still is classified as social sharing. When building NativeScript Android and iOS applications, sharing data isn’t complicated.

Being able to authenticate within a mobile application using your fingerprint offers a certain convenience that is of huge benefit in modern applications. Using the iOS touch id, doors can be opened in the land of application security and since Telerik NativeScript can interface with native APIs and features, touch id becomes available for use within our JavaScript based application.
Creating your own in-app icons can be a real pain. Having to worry about all the different Android and iOS icon sizes is not a pleasant task, specially when web developers have it easy with icon packs like Font Awesome. Lucky for us, Ionic is a mobile web application, so we can enjoy the same benefits that web developers have. Previously, I demonstrated how to include Font Awesome into an Ionic Framework 1 application , but that version of the framework is becoming old news because Ionic 2 is st
A few days ago I announced via my email newsletter that my blog, Nic Raboy’s Code Blog , found at blog.nraboy.com was going to be rebranded to The Polyglot Developer , found at www.thepolyglotdeveloper.com. I am pleased to announce that this transition has already taken place and this blog is now known as The Polyglot Developer. If you typically land on my blog via a Google Search result, don’t worry as I have appropriate redirects in place to ensure you end up where you need to be.
In this episode of The Polyglot Developer Podcast I sit down with two of my good friends, Raymond Camden and Simon Reimler , and discuss developer tools and strategies for being successful. Episode #3: Developer Tools that can Make You More Productive Towards Your Next Release covers a lot of ground and is broken up into three main sections: What tools are used for planning, prior to development and design.
So you want to take advantage of your iOS devices touch id functionality? I don’t blame you because I find my iPad Air 2’s fingerprint reader incredibly useful. Previously I wrote about using touch id for authentication with Ionic Framework 1 , but with Ionic 2 being all the rage now, I figured we were due for an update. We’re going to see how to authenticate our Ionic 2 application using the iOS touch id features and Angular.
If you’re making a great app chances are you’re going to want to know who else thinks its great. This an be determined by how many people are using your application, what they are doing within the application, or how long they are using your application for. This data can be tracked in iOS and Android using Google Analytics. We are lucky enough to be able to use Google Analytics within an Ionic 2 mobile application.
