Why I'm not excited about Swift. Thursday, June 05, 2014. Apple announced a new programming language and it doesn't seem to suck". Was the message I received from a friend and colleague of mine Dan. He was of course referring to Swift. That was released just a few days ago by Apple during their WWDC 14 conference. I want a new language. That language looks something like this at least in my opinion:. Clean syntax, ie. Ruby but C derived languages are OK. Just not Objective-C ( NSEverything. What if the O...

Raspberry Pi, NodeJS and Basic Electronics. Sunday, October 19, 2014. Now that we have a good project setup it's time to do something with it. If you haven't already I would recommend you read through my previous post Raspberry Pi NodeJS Project Setup with Git Deployment. As I will be continuing from where we left off. In this post we'll be doing some very basic electronics using the Raspberry Pi General Purpose Input/Output aka GPIO. That of course means we will. To play with some LEDs (yay! As you are ...

Raspberry Pi NodeJS Project Setup with Git Deployment. Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Now that my Open University studies have finally finished I have some free time again! I've had my Raspberry Pi pretty much since they first came out and apart from using it to run XBMC I've not done much with it. So now I've decided to do a project with it; yay! I shan't reveal what it is yet but it will be "Internet of Things" type of "thing" and running NodeJS! Write the code on my Hackintosh. First thing is to creat...

http://blog.fxndev.com/raspberry-pi-physical-web-first-steps
Raspberry Pi and Physical Web: Getting Started. Monday, December 08, 2014. A couple of months ago I came across an interesting new project called: Physical Web. So, when you walk up to a vending machine, parking meter or whatever at the moment the available options to you might include:. It's old, not connected and you end up pushing the germ covered buttons. There's a phone number you can call or send SMS message to get credit/use the service. There's a web address you can type in to your phone. This ti...

You should write comments
http://blog.fxndev.com/you-should-write-comments
You should write comments. Sunday, March 22, 2015. This statement appears to be mandatory content for anyone writing any computer science study materials for schools and universities. It appears in most beginners programming books (or at least used to) and it is advice that is most often given to new developers. So what's going on? I think both parties are both right and wrong. And I do think you should write comments*. Let's have a look at some types of comments. It takes me longer to read your comment ...

Affecting Change in Development Teams
http://blog.fxndev.com/championing-change
Affecting Change in Development Teams. Saturday, January 17, 2015. Change is hard, scary, possibly risky and uncomfortable. But change is also great! It stops stagnation to irrelevance, it stops boredom, it can lead to great new discoveries and it definitely is inevitable. What kind of change? I will be focusing on changes to development practises, processes, languages, supporting technologies and tooling. Nothing that could be done better? Either you're lying (it's ok, I didn't believe you anyway) or yo...
