I learnt how to evaluate candidates in the Angular domain in recent years. During that time I noticed that there are no standardised certifications. As Angular is constantly evolving and requires a broad skillset, I am planning to create a guide used to evaluate developers consisting of three levels – junior, professional and expert – as a more objective way to assess candidates. The minimum requirements for each of the individual levels are described in this blog post.

Micro-services have long been the established standard in backend application architecture. They offer many advantages, including scalability, flexibility and when it comes to organising large projects into independent development teams. In this blog post, I will describe how micro frontends allow you to transfer the benefits offered by distributed systems over to the frontend.

I am an IT management consultant, though I currently work as an IT consultant and project manager. In this blog post I describe my journey from a Python novice to a REST service (junior) developer.

You need to consider a number of things to successfully implement a microservice architecture, including questions like: How do we deal with transactionality? How should the system respond if an error occurs in the middle of a distributed business process? This blog post provides answers to these questions.

Developers are quite familiar with unit testing, even with integrative approaches like @SpringBootTest. But many lack a clear design/development/test strategy and stick to their preferred programming language. Acceptance Test Driven Design (ATDD) is a structured approach to designing your tests and programme from the outside in, focusing on larger blocks of functionality rather than individual classes. This blog post shows how this works.

For a project I decided to use the libgit2 library which, fortunately, has a port to C#. When adding the NuGet package in the latest version 0.26.2 (release December 11, 2019) the program ran into a problem at runtime as the shared library cannot be loaded.

Python is a sophisticated, general-purpose programming language widely used in a variety of fields such as data science, machine learning, web development and automation. The simplicity of the syntax and the fact it is easy to learn make Python an ideal language for both beginners and experienced developers. In this blog post, I will take a look at the language’s areas of application and its characteristics, as well as provide an outlook on its future.

In the first part of our post, we clarified what exactly the Stack Overflow Developer Survey is and then asked what kind of education developers have, how long they have already been working or how they like to learn. This part is about the most popular programming languages, tools and technologies used as well as different opinions about the future of software development.

In general, a professional programmer is someone who has a high level of expertise in one or more programming languages and is able to utilise that expertise to design, develop and maintain software systems or applications. When do most people begin their profession? How long do they work in their profession? How do they train, and which programming language pays best in terms of salary? We will answer these questions in our blog post.
