Functions-as-a-service (FaaS) is a pit where the big names collide.It is the future of enterprise computing as the cloud provider handles the underlying infrastructure, letting the client focus on its core business of designing applications. full article on i-programmer

C# never ceases to evolve. Starting out as a copycat mix of Java and C++, selecting their best parts, the language has since walked its own way, innovating by itself. With version 8 on the horizon, let's have a look at the strongest candidates among the proposals for the finalized draft. Nullable reference types Once, value types couldn't be null, but that changed with the introduction of  System.Nullable in C# 2, although the syntactic sugar of the '?' modifier which renders byte? and System.Nullable interchangeable is what stuck the most. full article on i-programmer

The name "Perl" lies at the heart of the drama developing between the two languages, Perl 5 and Perl 6. This is a long way from the once desirable unification  and moves towards breaking the ties between former sister languages now emerging as total foes. But let's take it from the beginning. Back in 2012 when Parrot was alive, when I interviewed him about  Perl 6 and Parrot,  Moritz Lenz answered this question: full article on i-programmer

There are times when I want my database to be able to talk to the outside world, rather than the other way around. Let's explore some scenarios where this ability would come handy before implementing a solution using Ingres RDBMS and Perl. You can see the result in action and the code is available to replicate it with any RMDBS. For example, the database ought to  alert  an external entity: A. in a Drugstore, whenever an item's stock decreases beyond a fail-safe limit B. in a Post Office, whenever an item arrives and its barcode is scanned C. in a Hospital, whenever a patient is diagnosed with a condition D. in a Hospital, whenever a patient is admitted into the Hospital or is prescribed medicine full article on i-programmer.info

Sourcegraph is a code navigation engine that non-destructively rearranges your repository's structure to organize it, as well as powering it up with code intelligence and advanced search capabilities. Best of all Sourcegraph has just gone open source which means that you can deploy it on your own servers to power up your private repositories. full article on i-programmer.info

Hacktoberfest is an annual event sponsored by DigitalOcean in partnership with GitHub and Twilio and while "Hacktoberfest" might sound or give the impression of something doable only by very experienced hacker programmers, in essence, it's just a wrapper around having to submit 5 Pull Requests to any Github hosted repository and earn some swag in return.  As such the aim is purely motivating people to contribute to open source rather than to run a lucrative competition.For the prize to be claimed, a limited edition t-shirt and a few stickers, you have to make five pull requests (PRs) between October 1–31 in any timezone and to any public repo on GitHub. The chances of winning are good as this year the first 50,000 to complete all 5 PR's win. full article on i-programmer.info

ReactProto is a rapid application prototyping tool that bridges the gap between developers and designers. Designers hand over their static mockups. which developers feed into ReactProto to generate the corresponding boilerplate React components. It's that aspect of Visual Design that can speed up development through generating code, especially efficient when having to tackle hierarchies of nested components. In contrast to coding them by hand, when using ReactProto the code generator consumes static mockups and emits React components. It's use is simple and can be summarized as: full article on i-programmer
