Bluehost is a great service that is incredibly cheap, but depending on the amount of traffic that you receive, a Bluehost server may not be able to accommodate in performance. For example my WordPress blog, the one you’re on now, receives too much traffic, which is why I had to host it on a VPS service. In particular I’m hosting this WordPress blog on Digital Ocean.

Earlier this year, my house should have burned to the ground. A CR2032 battery exploded and caught fire in a confined place dense with flammable objects. But my house didn't burn down: at the moment the battery exploded, I was sitting a few feet away from it. I heard a loud bang, investigated, and stamped out the fire within a few seconds. I wasn't planning to be there at the time.

The five most read posts of 2015, in order. Apple’s Web. I’m good for a heat of the moment rant about either standards or Apple (often both) every couple years. This year, it was about Apple’s influence over the standardization process after some fallout around the Pointer Events specification. Client-side MVC’s Major Bug. If your client-side MVC framework does not support server-side rendering, that is a bug.

I wrote for DDJ (may it rest in peace) for many many years. Towards the end, I wrote a blog on agile-related topics.

To help kick off the new year, I wanted to announce that I am creating a podcast titled The Polyglot Developer Podcast that will be released to iTunes as well as Pocket Casts. You might have some questions regarding this, such as: What is a podcast? What will this podcast hope to accomplish? How will this podcast differ from all my videos and written blog articles?

Ionic 2 is becoming all the rage right now because of it using Angular. With the introduction of Angular, comes many differences in the language and framework itself. One of the most critical parts of any mobile application is its ability to save data and have it persisted when the application is launched at a later date. I demonstrated in Ionic Framework 1 how to use SQLite as a storage solution, so I figured it would be a good idea to demonstrate the same using Ionic Framework 2.

It’s that time of year again. The time when readers everywhere post their “best books of whatever-year” and “my favorite books of the year” lists making my pile of books to read grow rapidly. As usual, I’m happy to return the favor. As I did in the past, I’ve included a rating and short review of each book I’ve read to give both you and I some idea of why I enjoyed each book.
