A Day in the Life of a Programmer. 5 Things I wish I was taught in software school. February 4, 2008. 1 How to use source control. 2 How to write secure code. 3 How to do automated testing. 4 Agile development / Extreme Programming. For anything large it’s nearly impossible to figure out every last detail without writing any code at all. This is where Agile/Extreme programming comes in, shorter release cycles, small increments or features between each release. 5 How to write modular software. I have a fe...

A Day in the Life of a Programmer. My ToDos for 2013 (or resolutions, if you’re into that). January 1, 2013. I like having a roadmap, it’s a great way to focus your mind towards a goal. Personally I find that it’s also a great way to practice brainstorming, scope management, estimation and execution. So, here’s my list of developer type things that I plan to achieve in 2013. Launch an app that generates money. Publish some open source code. Write automated tests for most of my code. I am one of the most ...

A Day in the Life of a Programmer. 8216;Synchronous AJAX’ or SJAX for Short. January 27, 2007. Finally, by looking through the JavaScript documentation for the XMLHttpRequest object and discovered that by simply adding an additional ‘false’ parameter to the normal http.open() call it forces the XMLHttpRequest object to run in synchronous mode. Exactly what we were looking for! Here is an example: xmlhttp.open(“GET”, url, false);. One comment so far. Chronicles of Don Khuth. Proudly powered by WordPress.

A Day in the Life of a Programmer. It’s only been two years. July 18, 2016. Scroll down to see this blog’s shame. It’s been over 2 years since the last time that I’ve posted anything here. Now, that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been writing during that time. In fact, I’ve probably written more in the past 2 years than at most other times in my professional life. I just haven’t been writing as many things that I thought would be a good fit for this site. That starts to change today. March 17, 2014. I’ve be...

A Day in the Life of a Programmer. All posts by Wally. August 7, 2016. Recently I tweeted this:. Left tonight’s tech talk with more questions than answers, trying to decide if that is a good thing or bad…. Wally Lawless (@Wallylawless) July 21, 2016. There’s so much available to be known these days in the tech world, especially when it comes to the web I feel. As a result, it’s incredibly easy to get discouraged, or to constantly feel the weight of all the things that you know you don’t know. I k...It’s ...

http://www.power-coder.net/2013/03/my-core-values
A Day in the Life of a Programmer. March 13, 2013. The idea behind core values is that it’s a set of principles that guide your actions, your decisions and how you interact with others. It’s not a new concept, although I’m pretty sure that I heard about it most recently on the Entreleadership podcast (one that was just recently added to my list. 8211; There’s a lot of value in getting a straight answer from somebody. Being honest with somebody doesn’t require you to be mean, there are constructive wa...

A Day in the Life of a Programmer. It’s not your employer’s job to keep you at the top of your game. November 11, 2013. This past weekend I attended the TrueNorth PHP conference. Hosted by the GTA PHP user group. It’s the second year that the event has been held and I attended last year as well. Based on my experience it’s a great event, and the only PHP focused conference that takes place in the Toronto area. So take ownership of you skill development, you’ll be happy that you did. It’s typically ...
