Excel is widely used in different businesses and is a crucial element in the analysis and distribution of data. When generating reports, merging data from multiple sources or creating a document for a particular purpose, a low-code platform can provide consistent outcomes with less effort than the traditional coding approach. With Linx, for instance, you can craft an Excel file from any data source, e-mail it to a designated user, and then archive it for future reference.

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in Ruby is an error that occurs when an application is unable to find a record in the database that corresponds to the provided parameters.

Viktor Gamov also contributed to this post. In recent decades it’s become common for communication between backend services to employ HTTP APIs with JSON payloads. Many HTTP APIs adhere (or at least aspire) to REST Principles, though many fall into a category we’ll call "REST-like".

Views in Rails don't do much besides showcasing what we want. Sure, they might render slightly different results depending on who's watching (an admin or a logged-in user has a different experience than a guest user, for example), but they don't do much processing on what they're given. Or at least they shouldn't. Often though, Rails projects wind up with a lot of logic in their views. In this post, we'll explore how to use Rails helpers to keep our views clean and readable.

The Node ecosystem comes with a wide variety of tools that have continued to evolve over the years.

These all run via the command line and can help boost your productivity when working on Node projects.

APIs have become the center of software development, connecting and transferring data across systems and applications.
