When you visit a web page, the creator’s intent is to present you a seamless experience that fills your browser window.  That web page or web application is generally divided up in some meaningful way across navigation elements, content, ads, header, footer, and other components. Those components may represent the work of independent teams.  Typically a web app is built in a single code base, pulling all those components into a monolithic software application.  For backend software development, these monoliths are often split up in a refactoring towards microservice architectu ..read more

Aledade and Kubernetes are both inconsiderate ideas for navigation. They need improvements in infrastructure.   The post #FREEZUCK | ?masked…?… !(DOCTORS)!! appeared first on Software Engineering Daily ..read more

The React Framework has seen continuous growth of adoption since its launch.  There are many reasons for that, but one reason is how relatively painless it is to use `react-create-app` or copy some boilerplate code and have a functioning, hot reloading, live demo up and running in minutes.  There is, however, a long way to do between proof of concept and enterprise app. Paige Niedringhaus is a software engineer and creator of The Newline Guide to Modernizing an Enterprise React App.  In this episode, we discuss best practices and strategies for structuring your React project.

According to builtwith.com, more than 10 million websites are powered by React framework.  Of the top 10k sites by traffic, 44.7% of those are built with React.  This javascript framework is capable of powering a wide array of modern applications and remains fairly beloved by developers that use it. In this episode, I interview Kent C. Dodds, Software Engineer Educator.  We discuss Kent’s journey learning React and keeping up with the changes it’s taken on as the framework evolves and how those lessons culminated into his Epic React course.

As our guest today points out, most enterprise software applications are essentially forms for collecting data.  The <FORM> tag and related components started appearing in HTML fairly early and those same concepts are still in use with modern web browsers.  However, the technology for capturing state, validating input, and providing other common services for the management of form data has continued to evolve in many languages and frameworks. Erik Rasmussen is the author of many popular open-source libraries including Redux Form and React Final Form.  In this interview, w ..read more

As developers hone their craft, becoming more productive often means learning utilities and tools at the command line.  The right combination of various parsing commands chained together through pipes can enable engineers to quickly and efficiently automate many adhoc data processing tasks. In this episode I speak with Adam Gordon Bell about some of his favorite command line tools.  We also discuss his role as a developer advocate for Earthly, a powerful tool for building software in a repeatable and understandable way.  Adam is also the host of the Co-Recursive podcast.
