The Ballerina 🩰 framework Many, many, many years ago, Hoppinger started using Typescript and React (TS/Rx) as the sole tool for frontend development within the whole organization: lots of teams, lots of projects. As CTO, I had two main challenges: (1) smooth cooperation across teams; (2) reduce defects and TCO, reduce TTM. Both challenges were met by introducing the Hoppinger widgets-for-React (Wx) library: a React wrapper that enforces software engineering/compositional/functional programming state management patterns. The Wx library did what it was supposed to do: less bugs, and more uniform code across teams and projects. But! There were side effects...Some developers were absolutely in love with Wx, but some definitely disliked it and for good reason. Wx was based on hardcore functional programming, occasionally resulting in an outright unfriendly tool with abysmal developer experience for simple tasks. Last year, as my work as Hoppinger CTO slowly started to shift from always-on to supporting (a great team, great processes, great tech, great DevOps cluster, great frameworks, and great clients without constant fires and technical challenges eventually does not need a fulltime CTO as it turns out) I started taking on extra challenges in search of new perspectives. I came across BLP Digital, a Zurich-based Swiss scaleup in the fintech sector. BLP Digital is growing like crazy, and is constantly looking for ways to wow its customers with a Ts/Rx frontend for interacting with its advanced ML/AI system for automated ERP workflows and document analysis. I realized right away that the complexity of the BLP frontend application could be tackled with the very same set of conceptual tools that had led to the Wx library, but with the wonderful benefits of hindsight, all of the lessons learned from Hoppinger’ experience with Wx led to the creation of something new: the Ballerina 🩰 framework. Ballerina 🩰 is an open source set of guidelines, libraries, and tools for streamlining Ts/Rx development. Ballerina 🩰 gives clear guidelines on code structure, organization, reusable modularization, concurrency management datasync, and even…drum rolls…100% code reuse for both web and native apps from a monorepo (I am about to relase this last bit, exciting!). And whoever else might want to use the tool, by all means, it’s FOSS: https://lnkd.in/et2qDhPf. If you are intrigued, boy, boy, boy do I have nice news for you: I am looking for Zurich, Amsterdam, or Rotterdam-based developers who want to join amazing teams using this elegant and beautiful technology. NO REMOTE, NO CONTRACTORS, just plain old humans-working-in-a-team-close-to-other-humans. Send me a PM if you are interested, and in the meantime...happy dancing!

Spring cache providers: In the last post we learnt about how spring uses caffeine library to support caching. But why couldn't we just use hashmap. We could with limitations, that's exactly what "Simple" cache provider does Spring supports the following providers: JCache (JSR-107) (EhCache 3, Hazelcast, Infinispan, and others) Hazelcast Infinispan Couchbase Redis Caffeine Cache2k Simple This article is a 3 part series which digs deep into spring caching.

I've just finished reading "Modern Angular" by Armen Vardanyan, and it's a must-read for anyone working with Angular. With all the recent updates to the framework, this book is a fantastic guide to understanding and applying the latest features. Key topics covered include: Standalone Components Signals The role of RxJS in modern Angular projects Unit testing best practices A look ahead at what's on the horizon for Angular Vardanyan's writing is clear, concise, and packed with helpful examples. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to modernize their Angular skills and knowledge. You can find "Modern Angular" here: https://lnkd.in/eb8gd7Mj #Angular #webdevelopment #programming #softwaredevelopment #bookrecommendation

A new Manning book that caught my attention is called Writing for Developers. https://lnkd.in/dmkPUs3W by Piotr Sarna and Cynthia Dunlop. I do think that writing is an important skill for a technical person. And it is a skill. Something you spend experience points on. Writing a blog is one of the ways to earn these experience points, this all fits my perception rather well. However, it came to me at the wrong time. I started my first blog in 2005 on LiveJournal platform, then later migrated to CodrSpace (thanks, Luke Lee, that was fun), then to Medium. In 2022 I closed my Medium account for good. I tried to reinstate a "traditional" blog on HackerNews a year later, but after six months I dropped that as well. I think I exhausted my interest in technical blogging at this point. At least in its conventional form. As you might know, I am a bit dissatisfied with traditional publishing with text and pictures. My own two most popular "blog" posts, the ones that got over 100K views were both interactive and I do think that the future of blogging is at least to some degree interactive. On the other hand, interactivity itself doesn't add much value to a publication. I once made a highly interactive tutorial on trigonometry and while I was enjoying the acclaim on social media for a few days, nobody told me that... one of the widgets was simply broken. Writing, as in doing research, managing publishing data, and creating a narrative that catches the eye, is more important than interactivity alone. So yes, if you want to start a blog, Writing for Developers will help you with that. Then again, it's only a book. It will guide you through the process, but it will not make you write well automatically. To get there, you need to write poorly for a decade or two first. #writing #publishing #blogging Manning Publications Co.
