Rust is one of the most admired programming languages, known for its ability to offer memory safety without sacrificing performance. However, for beginners, the language can present a steep learning curve, especially when it comes to some of its more nuanced concepts. To help new Rust developers gain a better understanding, here are four key concepts to master early on—concepts that experienced Rustaceans often wish they had known from the start. By becoming familiar with these principles, you’ll be in a much stronger position as you begin writing your own Rust applications. One of the most distinctive features of Rust…

One of the most empowering aspects of software development is the freedom it offers. Unlike many other fields, where practicing requires formal permission or certification, anyone can start coding without needing approval from any regulatory body. Whether you’re looking to build an app for your own business or just a personal project, there’s nothing standing in your way. No organization is going to tell you that you need permission to start coding or developing the next big software that could impact millions of users. In contrast to other professions like law, medicine, or even hairdressing, where a license or official…

The .NET platform, powered by C#, has long been one of the most robust and versatile stacks for building server-side applications. Much like Java, .NET has established itself as a reliable framework, with both platforms influencing each other throughout their history. In this article, we’ll explore building a simple server-side web application using C# and integrate HTMX to add dynamic front-end interactivity without relying on traditional JavaScript. This approach offers a clean and efficient way to build modern web apps while leveraging the powerful features of .NET and C#. To begin, you’ll need to have the .NET CLI tool installed…

JetBrains has launched klibs.io, a new web service designed to simplify the search for Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) libraries. Kotlin Multiplatform allows developers to build cross-platform applications for mobile, desktop, and web from a single code base. Kllibs.io, which is currently in its alpha phase, aims to serve as an experimental search portal for discovering libraries that support different platforms such as the JVM, Android JVM, WebAssembly, JavaScript, and Kotlin/Native. This platform was officially introduced on December 17, 2024, as a tool to streamline the library discovery process for developers working in the Kotlin ecosystem. The service aggregates library data from…

Google has introduced its latest suite of tools, the Gemini Code Assist, aimed at enhancing developer productivity directly within Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) like Visual Studio Code or JetBrains. These tools are designed to streamline the development process by integrating additional features without requiring developers to leave their coding environment. This move aims to minimize context-switching, allowing developers to focus more on writing code and less on navigating between various applications. Kathy Lange, research director at IDC, emphasized that the Gemini Code Assist tools are specifically tailored to boost developer efficiency. By enabling users to access information and resources from…

As the use of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4o has surged, smaller language models (SLMs) have been gaining traction as a cost-effective alternative. While LLMs are known for their impressive capabilities in processing vast amounts of text, handling multimodal inputs, and achieving state-of-the-art performance in many areas, they come with high training costs, complex infrastructure needs, and concerns around data privacy. Small language models, with their fewer parameters, present a viable solution to these challenges, offering businesses a more affordable and flexible option. Small language models are particularly well-suited for situations where the computational power and…

Smarter DevOps: Avoiding the Pitfalls of Frequent Deployments As the demand for faster software delivery continues to rise, many DevOps organizations have adopted advanced CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and other automation techniques to increase deployment frequency. The 2023 State of DevOps Report highlights that 18% of respondents are classified as elite performers, capable of deploying on-demand with change lead times of less than a day. While this rapid pace of deployment is seen as a major achievement, it comes with its own set of risks and challenges. These elite performers report a change failure rate of 5%, which might…

Is AWS Struggling with Cloud Complexity? A Deep Dive into “Simplexity” At AWS re:Invent 2024, Amazon Web Services highlighted a growing concern for enterprises: the increasing complexity of managing cloud environments at scale. As cloud technologies evolve and enterprises expand their infrastructure, the challenge of maintaining operational efficiency while navigating large-scale architectures has become a significant obstacle to innovation. AWS acknowledges that managing cloud complexity is no longer just a technical challenge but a barrier to sustained growth and performance. The complexity arises from several factors, including the vast interconnectedness of systems, unpredictable workloads, and the sheer scale of modern…

JetBrains Report Reveals JavaScript’s Continued Dominance, with TypeScript, Rust, and Python Showing Strong Growth JavaScript remains the most widely used programming language globally, according to the 2024 State of Developer Ecosystem Report by JetBrains. The report highlights that 61% of developers are using JavaScript to build web applications, solidifying its position as the top language in the world. Following closely behind are Python, HTML/CSS, SQL, Java, and TypeScript, with varying levels of usage and growth. Python continues to be a strong contender, ranking second with 57% of developers using it, while HTML/CSS stands at 51% and SQL at 48%. Java…
