Docker Tutorial: Get Going From Scratch

Docker is a platform for packaging, deploying, and running applications. Docker applications run in containers that can be used on any system: a developer’s laptop, systems on premises, or in the cloud. Containerization is a technology that’s been around for a long time, but it’s seen new life with Docker. It packages applications as images that contain everything needed to run them: code, runtime environment, libraries, and configuration.

Bugfender 2.0 - Behind the Scenes

As developers at Mobile Jazz, we know the headache of finding, reproducing, and fixing bugs in mobile apps. Several years ago, we got so fed up debugging mobile apps remotely that we started building a solution for ourselves.

Best Practices for Building Secure APIs

API (application programming interface) designers and developers generally understand the importance of adhering to design principles while implementing an interface.
