Agile is a big game changer to how we develop software. Before Agile, most development projects were using some form of waterfall whether they realized it or not. What this means is that they were building software sequentially, going from one phase to the next. So, at this point, you’re […]
There are many ways to organize the workflow of software development. You might have already encountered a few of them, but not realize it. Maybe you do, but don’t know what the name for it is.
Version control has a love-hate relationship with most developers. Regardless, it is safe to say most developers will agree with that version control is important for any complex software. There are numerous benefits to using version control that outweighs the negatives.
Many software developers have no clue about how testing is actually done. They write the code, make sure it builds, and hand it over to testers or QA (Quality Assurance). The testers put the application through a series of test and give the developers a report on the issues and bugs […]
Producing working software involves more than writing code. Most software applications require some form of data storage. And guess what, these data storages do not magically appear; they need to be built, tested, and deployed somewhere.
Most of us want to be more productive. As a result, one of the common mistakes that you might end up making is to multitask. Intuitively it makes sense that if you are doing more than one thing at a time then you will get more done. Sadly, that is […]
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is an important concept to understand as a software developer. Most of the software you will encounter or work with will employ OOP in some way.

It is simple to perform a single task, but when you want to add in more tasks the difficulty and complexity increases. Without a structural way to handle multiple tasks, you will end up with a mess at the end. The code will be difficult to read and debug. Making […]
Arduino is a great platform for embedded system projects. You can quickly turn your ideas into actual prototypes. There are massive communities and support online, where you can get help easily. You can even use C++ and not be limited to using C.
