I will be returning this weekend to the US from a very successful AWS Summit in Sydney, so I have ample time to read during travels. This weekend however I would like to take a break from reading historical computer science material, to catch up on another technology I find fascinating, that of functional Magnetic Resonace Imaging, aka fMRI. fMRI is a functional imagine technology, meaning that it just records the state of the brain at one particular point in time, but the changing state over a

When building a mobile application, there are often scenarios where you need to storage files remotely and when I say files, I don’t mean database data. For example, maybe you want to develop an image manager or photo storage solution like what Facebook and Instagram offer? There are many solutions, for example you could store the files in your database as binary data, or you could store the files on the same server as your web application.

A friend once told me that they work at a company where the maintenance of software is outsourced. That means their in house developers only work on new features. Bugs and such are handled by an outsourced team. I can only guess as to why this company chose to do this. Maybe they think it’s more efficient. Maybe their developers just refused to do maintenance.

Continuous deployment (CD) is a very interesting subject. Being able to establish a build pipeline that deploys your application once building is complete is a fantastic form of automation. Jenkins is one of the most popular, if not the most popular, continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment tool available. Traditionally one would create a workflow in Jenkins that pulls from Git, builds, and deploys the packaged application to another server via SSH.

When I’m developing with Angular, I often find myself needing to loop over an object via HTML markup. In AngularJS one could loop over object properties or arrays, but in Angular you can only loop over arrays by default. This is easily fixable through what are known as Angular Pipes. With pipes you can create display-value transformations for pretty much anything, or in my case transform an object into an array and loop over it.

Have you ever built an application and decided that you didn’t want to hardcode a bunch of values that might change frequently? The answer is, probably yes. When building a web application, it is common to separate configuration details into a separate file which might contain database information, hostnames, passwords, and anything else that probably shouldn’t exist in the application as hard-coded values.

Today, I am very excited to announce our plans to open a new AWS Region in the Nordics! The new region will give Nordic-based businesses, government organisations, non-profits, and global companies with customers in the Nordics, the ability to leverage the AWS technology infrastructure from data centers in Sweden. The new AWS EU (Stockholm) Region will have three Availability Zones and will be ready for customers to use in 2018.
