I want to tell you how to write asynchronous code using Scala’s `Future`s. In the era of asynchronous programming, it’s important to know that function invocations that form a logical chain in the source code are not confined to one thread. I’ll show you how to benefit from this knowledge. Preface: synchronous vs asynchronous In the

This article is an overview of dependency injection (DI) techniques that can be used in Scala Play framework apps: Guice, manual DI, the cake pattern, MacWire, and the reader monad.
This article discusses different approaches to creating a layered architecture – how to reflect the business context in the code; how to structure it; how to understand the dependency inversion and infrastructure layer; and finally as a possibly isolate modules.
The mental model of object-oriented programming is not intuitive. The speed and dynamics of today’s data-centric world make it a difficult case. How to learn object-oriented programming then?
It’s one of the common questions asked among node.js developers. I’d like to share my preferences. Read below! Introduction Dependency Injection is a pattern that helps you create loosely coupled codebases. You can swap collaborators and make your code testable. You can do dependency injection without additional libraries. Here’s two common
Symfony2 is one of the most popular backend web frameworks. Some people doubt whether it can be used for popular, high traffic websites. To dispel these doubts I prepared the list of 6 successful websites powered by the Symfony framework.
This is not an article about the pros and cons of using icon fonts vs SVGs. This is however, an article about why migrating to SVG greatly simplified the process of adding and managing the icons used in our common set.
Change is a nasty little thing. It starts with a call to adventure, and the more you ignore it, the more it nags at you. I was a happy back-end developer dreaming her life in C#. I came to like the predictability of developing APIs. I even had my truce
