Dropwizard is a REST-oriented framework for Java that simplifies the process of creating and deploying web services. It combines several essential Java libraries into a single package, providing developers with a more efficient and streamlined experience compared to other frameworks like Spring. One of its key advantages is its minimalistic approach to configuration, adopting the principle of “convention over configuration” to handle most of the setup for you. This approach eliminates much of the unnecessary complexity and focuses solely on delivering REST APIs, making it an excellent choice for developers looking for a lightweight alternative to more cumbersome frameworks. To…

In the wake of the Log4Shell vulnerability in Log4j, organizations are scrambling to address the severe risks posed by zero-day vulnerabilities. Log4Shell is particularly dangerous because it affects a widely used library and can be easily exploited. What makes it even more critical is that it was actively being exploited before the details of the vulnerability were made public, which underscored the urgency for a quick response. As security teams work tirelessly to patch and mitigate the damage, they will need to conduct retrospectives to identify ways to better prepare for the inevitable next vulnerability. In this evolving landscape, Software…

R offers a variety of powerful tools for mapping geospatial data, but one of the most impressive tools for ease and efficiency is the mapview package. While I have used packages like leaflet for intricate customizations and tmap for a balance of power and usability, I’ve recently started to enjoy the simplicity that mapview brings to the table. The package allows users to quickly explore geospatial data or create rapid prototypes with minimal code—just one function and two arguments, and you’re ready to go. For example, with just a simple line of code like mapview(all_data, zcol = “PctChange10_20”), mapview generates…

Microsoft has revealed its plans for Entity Framework Core 7.0 (EF7), the next major update to its open-source, cross-platform object-relational mapper (ORM).
