Take GitHub Actions Course For Free

A beginner-friendly, and free, course to help you take your first steps as a DevOps engineer is available as a series of YouTube videos.

But first, let's start with some definitions of what DevOps is. In "The DevOps Master Class - Go Behind The Concept" we saw that it is not just about the tools:

DevOps is the union of people, process, and products to enable continuous delivery of value to our end users

It's about bringing teams together and enabling them through the use of agile tools and processes to cooperate, to create new features that bring value to end users as well as cope with frequent changes in requirements, something remedied under a continuous cycle that ensures continual delivery.

And what are those tools and processes? Git and CI/CD, monitoring, infrastructure as code and containers.

I remember the time when the saying was "Learn Perl so you don't have to learn the Shell and its hundreds of utilities". Fast forward some decades and the use of shell scripts still has not been eradicated. On the contrary, their use has increased due to the rise of containers, VM's, administering the cloud, and Linux itself. This also serves as a lesson to those who are quick to denounce technologies as 'dead'. There's a time where a new use case revitalizes an old technology. So what is meant by "Unix philosophy"? full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/14990-the-pash-project-advancing-the-unix-philosophy-one-step-further.html

Open Source Is Not Just About Software

It's about infrastructure as well, something that although not attracting the limelight, is as important as the open source software it hosts. Today the stewards of the largest open source registries in the world have issued an open letter demanding urgent reform in how open source infrastructure is funded, maintained, and operated. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/136-open-source/18334-open-source-is-not-just-about-software.html

Turn Claude Into Your Personal Research Assistant

Claude Scientific Skills give Claude super powers, not just on coding, but about any science. We try them out to see what's on offer. But first of all what are Claude Skills. If you're familiar with CustomGPTs then Skills is something similar. They both enable the LLM to access specialized agents. In the Skills case, they are shaped as plugins which comprise of a mix of instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude can load dynamically when trying to perform a task. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18534-turn-claude-into-your-personal-research-assistant.html
