Earlier this year (July), I wrote about my first year of blogging and the stats around it and I feel it was important because it was my first year. This time I’m going to write about my activity in 2015 and report the stats around it. The plan is to do this every year and possibly inspire other developers to start blogs of their own. The post My Activity Report For 2015 appeared first on The Polyglot Developer.

It’d be hard to be a software developer these days without hearing about “being agile” Agile is a popular software development process. It is intentionally loosely defined, though that naturally leads to many many different opinions about what it is. The spectrum varies from those who think there are some rules that absolutely must be followed in order to be considered agile to those who use it to justify a lack of process.

Toast notifications are a common thing in Android applications. They are convenient because you can display a message to a user and have it disappear shortly after without blocking any of the UI that might exist within the application. I already demonstrated how to display these notifications in an Ionic Framework application , but this time I’m changing gears to explain how it is done using Telerik NativeScript.

In most scenarios, when developing a mobile application, you’re going to want multiple pages or screens for displaying information. In Ionic Framework 1, you’d use the AngularJS UI-Router to navigate between pages , but things are different when it comes to Angular and Ionic 2. The UI-Router is not present in the latest version of Ionic Framework. We’re going to take a look at navigating around an Ionic 2 application and see how easy it is.

At the moment Node.js is my web development language of choice, but occasionally I come across something that really grinds my gears. I sometimes find that I’ve fallen into an async hell that screws up a lot of things. For example, maybe I’ve designed an API endpoint that makes a few requests to external services. Before returning data to the client (user), manipulations must be done on the external service data requested.
