Abstraction is one of the key concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP) languages. Its main goal is to handle complexity by hiding unnecessary details from the user. That enables the user to implement more complex logic on top of the provided abstraction without understanding or even thinking about all the hidden complexity. That’s a very generic concept that’s not limited to object-oriented programming. You can find it everywhere in the real world.

If you’ve ever worked with a database, you’ve likely worked with CRUD operations. CRUD operations are often used with SQL, a topic we’ve covered in depth (see this article, this one, and this one for some of our recent SQL tips and tricks). Since SQL is pretty prominent in the development community, it’s crucial for developers to understand how CRUD operations work. So, this article is meant to bring you up to speed (if you’re not already) on CRUD operations.

If you ever had to analyze an issue in production, I’m sure you know how important it is to have good logging. Good logging requires three things: While you still need to decide yourself which log messages you should write for each use case, you don’t need to worry about requirement 2 and 3. Various logging frameworks already solved these technical requirements. You only need to choose one of them and use it to write your log messages.

As any web developer knows, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) can be a real pain to deal with. The code is often messy and hard to read, which can make debugging a nightmare. Fortunately, there are tools available that can help automate the process of formatting CSS code. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at how to use a CSS formatter to make your life easier.

What is the difference between Angular vs AngularJS? AngularJS is the most primitive version of Angular that was developed by Google and is one of the oldest front-end frameworks for building SPAs. However, Google recently dropped support for AngularJS which makes Angular the obviously better choice out of the two. However, there are still some projects that use AngularJS and it can be helpful to understand the differences between the two in case you wish to migrate to Angular.

Developing software can be a complex and sometimes chaotic process. You need to create, build, test and debug code quickly, while watching for potential problems down the road. Unfortunately, unless you’re Doctor Strange, you can’t predict the future. There’s no way of telling when clients may ask to add a feature or decide to completely scrap several features. When this happens, you obviously have to make changes to your code.

As the field of software development continues to evolve, one cannot help but wonder about the future of the profession. With the integration of AI tools, like ChatGPT, and Machine Learning, tasks that were once exclusive to human developers are now being handled by machines. While this has the potential to greatly increase efficiency and productivity, it also raises important questions about the future of the developer profession. How will developers adapt to this new reality?
