I’ve been writing developer related content for a few years now, most of which I distribute for free. Sure I have some donation requests around this blog, but I never demand any and I try not to force it on you. I enjoy helping the developer community, and more, I enjoy creating a healthy developer community that helps each other. This is a short story on how the developer community that I created, heard my request for help, and offered to lend me their skills.

Not too long ago I wrote a tutorial regarding saving data in a NativeScript mobile application using the application settings module that closely resembled that of HTML5 local storage. If you’re not familiar with the application settings module, it is persisted storage using key value pairs. What if you wanted a storage option that was a bit more query friendly?

Unit testing! It’s something that we as developers all understand the importance of and implement in every project, right? cough. Anyway… did you know NativeScript supports unit testing out of the box? It’s true! By unit testing your application, you can ensure that any changes you’ve made to your code are working properly and that they haven’t broken any previous code.

There are a lot of “first” approaches circulating in the development and design space at the moment, but what does all this jargon mean? In this episode of the Polyglot Developer Podcast, guest speaker William Hoang and I are going to explore some of the common practices such as mobile first, offline first, and API first. I’ve broken Episode #4: What is All This Mobile First, Offline, First, and API First Jargon?
