Test-Driven Development is a software development methodology/technique that involves the creation of tests first, even before the application code exists.

But… how does it even work?

Don’t worry, keep reading. Hopefully afterwards you will be tempted to try it yourself (spoiler alert: it will reduce the number of failures).

As part of my internship at Nearsoft, I took a deep dive into Open Source projects. Having some experience with backend development (using Express.js as the web framework) I thought it’d be a great idea to level up by diving into Ember.js, understanding the framework and hope to contribute in some way.

Here’s how to generate entities using Ember.js.

Bringing something new to life can be unimaginably hard and can take years to accomplish. Specially when you are developing something that hasn’t been done before.

This is the story of the most impacting challenges I have faced as a developer creating a new travel app.

You will face this, too.

If you are easily disturbed by pure technical gore, don’t read this.

When it comes to software outsourcing, not everything is milk and honey. It’s only fair to highlight some grim facts, too.

Please read on and grab onto your seats.

This summer I had the chance to attend EuroPython. Over 1100+ Python fans were able to make the most out of the lively week.

It was my first time at this amazing conf. I fully enjoyed it and learned lots of new stuff. Read on to learn about reviewing code, the Pytest library, and other friendly tools to help you improve your command of the language.

If you are not testing your code, you are just creating garbage. To avoid this we require a way to generate mocks for our classes to test our code.

Mockito is a simple, yet elegant way to inject mocks into your code without making a mess of it.

Read on to know how you can do this.

Getting into a new project is challenging. Daunting even.
It’s not enough to know your way around the tech stack. But something that will probably be entirely new for you will be the project’s domain language.

This is what I went through when I transitioned from healthcare to the travel industry.

Agile development teams seem to appreciate the value of having standup meetings. They are easily adopted by teams.

Unfortunately, I can’t say the same thing about retrospectives.

Building software is more like creating a work of art. It requires creativity in design, and plenty of craftsmanship to do well.

Agile methodologies help teams respond to unpredictability through incremental, iterative work cadences, known as Sprints.
