Debugging in Elixir and Erlang: An Introduction

Welcome to part one of this two-part series on debugging in Elixir and Erlang. In this post, we'll use several different tools and techniques to debug Elixir code. First, we'll get to know the demo project I created to showcase certain tools: dist_messenger. It's an Elixir project of a distributed messaging system that can be used directly on IEx. It allows users in different nodes to send and receive messages to each other.

Solid Software Design Principles

In this article, we will see SOLID principles and how to implement those principles while building a software application. Robert. C. Martin (popularly known as Uncle Bob) introduced the SOLID principle. Later, Michael Feather re-orders the principle to form the acronym. It helps to implement better code design, maintainability, and extendability.

How to leverage automation with integrated system data

The automation of common business practices is widely considered to represent the future for many industries, with 66% of modern organizations reportedly in the process of automating one or more core business functions, indicating an adoption rate growth of 9% between 2018 and 2020 alone. By automating the more time-consuming and repetitive aspects of a business' daily operations, companies are able to better allocate time to the most complicated facets of their roles, and with the added benefit of intelligent data analysis, well implemented automation can vastly improve efficiency.

Top 8 Blockchain APIs for Developers

Developers are always looking for new ways to make their applications more secure and efficient. Blockchain APIs are one way to do this. A blockchain API is an application programming interface that allows developers to interact with a blockchain. By using a blockchain API, developers can access the data and functionality of a blockchain without having to build their own blockchain platform. This can save time and resources, as well as provide a more secure environment for development.
