I am looking forward to share my thoughts on ‘Reinventing Performance Testing’ at the imPACt performance and capacity conference by CMG held on November 7-10, 2016 in La Jolla, CA. I decided to publish a few parts here to see if anything triggers a discussion. It would be published as separate posts: – Introduction (a short teaser). – Cloud. – Agile. – Continuous Integration. – New Architectures.

Quite a bit of time ago when I first started using NativeScript, I wrote a tutorial around using a SQLite database with it. Now just to be clear, this was with vanilla NativeScript, before Angular was available. Heck, the previous article was using JavaScript and not even TypeScript. Well, times have changed and I figured it would be a good idea to revisit this NativeScript SQLite tutorial, but this time give it some TypeScript and Angular flair.

I often think about how to be more productive and making good progress on projects. My progress on creating lessons for professorbeekums.com has not been as fast as I’d like. I started setting daily goals for myself to change that. An example would be finishing 5 lesson steps. This should have been relatively easy since I create outlines for them first.

HTTP/2 is awesome. When we enabled HTTP/2 on the settled.co.uk website, we noticed a 10% improvement in the page load times across the site. We didn’t change any code, or even make any web performance tweaks - we made the switch and noticed the results immediately. Traditionally, HTTP/1.1 requests have a lot of overhead associated with them. If too many requests are made, it can negatively affect the performance of your web page due to the fact that HTTP/1.1 uses multiple TCP connections to issu

I am excited that Adrian Cockcroft will be joining AWS as VP of Cloud Architecture. Adrian has played a crucial role in developing the cloud ecosystem as Cloud Architect at Netflix and later as a Technology Fellow at Battery Ventures. Prior to this, he held positions as Distinguished Engineer at eBay and Sun Microsystems. One theme that has been consistent throughout his career is that Adrian has a gift for seeing the bigger engineering picture.

I recently wrote about how to use a SQLite database within a NativeScript Android and iOS application that was built with Angular. This was more or less a revisit to the vanilla NativeScript tutorial on the same subject I had written earlier in the year. What happens when you have a massive amount of data that you’d like to save your user from needing to download before using your application?
