As there are more and more things being connected to the Internet, necessarily there is a need to integrate these devices together. We have some great opportunities to be really productive in partitioning huge problems into small and even smaller and solve them one by one. We can easily develop a simple service, put it into a Docker container and deploy it to any cloud solution.

Building your applications with only managed components has become very popular, and AWS Lambda plays a crucial role in that. I see a tremendous interest in examples how to build such applications, and articles such as " The Serverless Start-Up - Down With Servers! " about teletext.io are read eagerly around the globe. If you are looking for more examples there are the Lambda Serverless Reference Architectures that can serve as the blueprint for building your own serverless applications.

Not too long ago I wrote an article that explained how to include external JavaScript libraries in an Angular TypeScript project. To summarize that post, my goal was to show how to use any of the millions of JavaScript libraries that exist online within a TypeScript application. I received a lot of heat from that article saying that I am missing the point of TypeScript because in the end I wasn’t using any type definitions.

Each method has its advantages and disadvantages but they share the underlying goal of ensuring quality in the software. In this article, we’re going to focus on manual testing. We have written about the importance of testing software manually in the past.

As some of you may know, I travel a lot. I am always on a plane without internet and not much to do. Up until now I’ve been using my iPad for watching the few movies I purchased from Google Play because Google Play lets you watch offline. The problem with this is my iPad doesn’t have a lot of storage space and can’t keep me entertained on a six or more hour flight.

There are a lot of different ways to develop mobile applications. On my first two podcast episodes I discussed some of these app development solutions, but this time I’m doing a followup on one in particular. In this episode of The Polyglot Developer Podcast, guest speaker TJ VanToll and I are going to take a deeper look at Telerik NativeScript, who should be using it, and what separates it from the other frameworks that exist.
