IoT and Node.JS: How to Catch the Opportunity?

,

In 2019, the market revenue of IoT reached $ 212 billion. There are about 26.66 billion connected IoT devices worldwide, and this number is to reach 75.44 billion by 2025. The UN estimates that, in May 2020, the world population is 7.78 billion people. A simple math operation tells us that an average person owns from 3 to 4 IoT devices. Do you have one? Maybe a smartwatch? A smart TV? Or a smart car?

Moving further, the population is expected to reach 8.1 billion people in 2025. The same math calculation shows us that, in 2025, an average person will have from 9 to 10 smart devices in their possession. Do you see where I am leading you to? Do you want to join this prosperous market niche and make your IoT device to be one of these 9 to 10?

Why and When to Use Java for Developing Your Application

,

Java is a general-purpose language that follows the object-oriented programming style with a Write-Once-Run-Anywhere approach to development. It was designed for an interface with Internet-enabled devices, and over the course of the last two decades, this particular design choice has ensured Java’s relevance in the developer community.

Even now, in 2019, Java is ubiquitous and often used to develop virtually everywhere and on every platform; from smartphones and Android devices to websites, video games, cars, and even IoT devices.

How to Write Software: 5 Lessons Learned from Running Businesses

,

I used to write software for a living. I did that for a lot of years, as a matter of fact. And, in doing so, I learned a lot about how to write software.

But I learned this from the perspective of, well, a wage software developer. Today, I’d like to reflect on how my view has evolved over the last number of years.

Agile Adoption and the Survival of the Fittest

,

We are living in 21st century and have evolved a lot, from transportation, communication, entertainment and everything which is around us today. We all might have read Darwin’s theory of evolution. The gist of this theory is the humans are the most adaptable species among all due to which it survived all the calamities of nature. The process of adaptation is still in progress. Darwin has rightly stated, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.”

Today humans are living in every corner of the globe in varied rigid climatic conditions. Some regions are too hot and some are too cold for survival, but humans have adapted those conditions for their need to survive. As time passed, new things evolved and humans adapted everything for their survival and evolved as the strongest.

5 Quick Wins for Securing Continuous Delivery

,

“DevOps is Agile on steroids — because Agile isn’t Agile enough.”

So says Jim Bird, the CTO for BiDS Trading, a trading platform for institutional investors. Jim continued, "DevOps teams can move really fast…maybe too fast? This is a significant challenge for operations and security. How do you identify and contain risks when decisions are being made quickly and often by self-managing delivery teams? CABs, annual pen tests, and periodic vulnerability assessment are quickly made irrelevant. How can you prove compliance when developers are pushing their own changes to production?"

Jim was presenting at the 2018 Nexus User Conference on Continuous Delivery. Pulling on his 20+ years of experience in development, operations, and security in highly regulated environments, Jim laid how and why Continuous Delivery reduces risk and how you can get some easy wins toward making it more secure.

The DevOps Phonetic Alphabet

,

How many times have you had to spell out your name to fellow colleagues and partners on the other side of the world, asked about the spelling of a new open source tool someone introduced you to, or tried to write down the latest DevOps buzzword everyone is using? 

Our guess is quite a lot. That’s why we put together the DevOps phonetic alphabet. Next time you have to spell something out, or you ask for the letters in a word, you will have your very own codeword index. Sure, there’s the NATO phonetic alphabet, but chances are developers will understand the word “QA” much quicker than “Quebec.” It’s also a quick way for developers to communicate with each other without others understanding (though, let’s face it, they rarely do anyway).

Top 5 Must-Have Visual Studio Code Extensions

,

Our team at DigiMantra Labs consists of many developers, but it has been dominated by frontend developers after the rising popularity of various JavaScript libraries like AngularJS, React.js, and others. We have moved to Microsoft Visual Studio Code and have long forgotten Sublime Text, but it’s a little secret that we still have developers that like "Dreamweaver." Yes, they do exist!

During one of our workshops, “Learn & Rise,” we discusses the various extensions that we use every day to make our lives easier. I collated them all and I’m going to share the top five VSC extensions that our developers use.
