With this new feature, developers can effortlessly integrate popular persistent data modules like MySQL, Mongoose, and Prisma, as well as front-end frameworks such as React and Vue. Simplified Development and…

Streamlining Data Wrangling in JavaScript with Arquero While JavaScript excels in numerous areas, data wrangling often presents challenges for developers. The language’s flexibility can sometimes lead to cumbersome and error-prone code when manipulating datasets. Fortunately, the Arquero library brings a breath of fresh air to this landscape by adopting the “grammar-of-data” philosophy inspired by the highly regarded dplyr package in R. This approach allows developers to perform data manipulation tasks in a more intuitive and efficient manner, making JavaScript a more viable option for data wrangling. Introducing Arquero Arquero is developed by the University of Washington’s Interactive Data Lab, and…

The Most Wanted Programming Languages In the competitive job market for software developers, certain programming languages have emerged as favorites among employers. According to the 2023 HackerRank Developer Skills Report, Java, Python, and SQL are at the forefront, dominating the list of in-demand skills. While newer languages like Go and TypeScript are gaining traction, they still lag significantly behind the leading trio. This trend underscores the ongoing relevance of established languages in various sectors of technology. Insights from the HackerRank Developer Skills Report Published on November 10, the 2023 HackerRank Developer Skills Report utilizes a novel approach by drawing insights…

The Unseen Dominance of C and C++ Despite the ongoing buzz surrounding modern programming languages like Python and Go, C and C++ continue to hold significant sway in the realm of software development. These languages form the backbone of many high-performance desktop applications and operating systems, reflecting their enduring relevance in systems programming. While languages like Java and Kotlin cater to mobile and web applications, C and C++ are often utilized for performance-critical components within these applications, especially where low-level hardware interactions are required. Their robust libraries and performance capabilities make them indispensable for developers working on applications that demand…

Introduction to Entity Framework Core Entity Framework Core (EF Core) is a powerful and modern open-source object-database mapper that streamlines data access for .NET applications. It serves as an abstraction layer over various data sources, including relational databases, non-relational databases, and even in-memory data stores. This flexibility makes EF Core an essential tool for developers looking to work with data in a more intuitive and efficient manner. Simplifying Data Operations One of the primary advantages of EF Core is its ability to abstract the complexities of data access. Developers can perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using simple, high-level…

The concept of generating CSS directly within JavaScript, known as CSS-in-JS, has gained considerable traction in recent years, especially with the rise of reactive frameworks like React and Svelte. While these frameworks don’t require CSS-in-JS for styling components, they often work seamlessly with it, leading to a proliferation of libraries specifically designed to support CSS generation in JavaScript. In this overview, we’ll explore the essentials of CSS-in-JS and highlight several popular frameworks that help simplify its implementation. What Is CSS-in-JS? Traditionally, CSS styling approaches fall into two categories: inline styles defined directly in the HTML or separate CSS files loaded…

The OpenJDK project is considering a significant addition with its proposal for Asynchronous Stack Trace VM API, aiming to introduce asynchronous stack trace support into Java. This enhancement would involve an AsyncGetStackTrace API to retrieve stack traces in real time, capturing both Java and native stack frames. The move is part of Java’s ongoing evolution to support better diagnostic tools for profiling and debugging, enabling more robust visibility across complex applications and hybrid Java-native codebases. Key motivations for this API focus on enhancing support for performance profilers, which would leverage this tool to gather native stack frame data efficiently. Designed…

The in, out, and ref keywords in C# are essential for managing how data is passed to and modified by methods, helping developers design code that is both clear and efficient. These keywords enable different types of data handling by allowing parameters to be passed by reference, each with a distinct purpose that affects method behavior and data handling. The in keyword is used to pass a parameter by reference while ensuring it remains unaltered within the method. This allows for optimizations when working with large data structures, as the data itself isn’t copied, only referenced, preserving its original value.…

Microsoft has introduced an experimental enhancement to compiler optimization in its Microsoft Build of OpenJDK, aiming to elevate escape analysis for Java applications. The addition, part of an October 2022 PSU release that also includes security updates, seeks to expand the optimization potential through improved scalar replacement opportunities. This enhancement is designed to identify and simplify allocations for greater efficiency in Java’s memory management. Escape analysis, a technique used by compilers, determines where in a program pointers can be accessed, defining their dynamic scope. The new optimization identifies opportunities for scalar replacement, allowing the just-in-time (JIT) compiler to break down…

Azul, a leader in Java services, has introduced Azul Vulnerability Detection, a cloud-based tool designed to protect Java applications against security threats in real-time. Launched on November 2, this Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution operates through the Azul Java Virtual Machine (JVM) without the need for an agent, making it especially suited for production environments. Its key focus is on safeguarding Java applications from software supply chain attacks by providing continuous vulnerability monitoring while avoiding the typical performance hit that accompanies traditional security tools. The platform works by identifying Java code running within the Azul JVM and comparing it against a curated…
