How does RSA work❓

RSA is an asymmetric system , which means that a key pair will be generated, a public key and a private key, obviously you keep your private key secure and pass around the public one. 🌍

The algorithm was published in the 70’s by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, hence RSA , and it sort of implement’s a trapdoor function such as Diffie’s one. 🛅

RSA is rather slow so it’s hardly used to encrypt data , more frequently it is used to encrypt and pass around symmetric keys which can actually deal with encryption at a faster speed. 🏃🏻

What's This and Can I Delete It❓ Examining a Default ASP.NET Core MVC Project 💥

I have a very simple two-step process I use whenever I create or join a new project.☝🏻

I examine each folder and file, and ask "what's this, and can I delete it❓"

After all, deleting things (or demolishing them, as may be appropriate) is so, so satisfying. 😃

I would be much happier deleting all code that ever existed. 🗂

To that end, we're going to examine a default ASP.NET Core project, created with ASP.NET Core 2.1 and Visual Studio 2017, to see what we absolutely have to keep and what can be thrown away. 💎

Let's get deleting❗️

How to use SVG as a Placeholder, and Other Image Loading Techniques 🌈

I’m passionate about image performance optimization and making images load fast on the web.⚡️

One of the most interesting areas of exploration is placeholders : what to show when the image hasn’t loaded yet. 🤷🏻‍♂️

During the last days I have come across some loading techniques that use SVG, and I would like to describe them in this post. 🔥


In this post we will go through these topics :

• Overview of different types of placeholders 🗂

• SVG-based placeholders (edges, shapes and silhouettes) 👤

• Automating the process. ♻️

How to Stop Using Callbacks and Start Living ⚛️

Javascript has two major ways of dealing with asynchronous tasks - callbacks and Promises. 🤝

In general Promises are considered easier to use and to maintain than callbacks. ✅

But in reality even Promises alone won’t make you happy. 🤬

Asynchronous code may still be quite difficult to read and to understand. 🤯

Therefore third-party libraries, e.g. co, provided means to write a synchronous-like asynchronous code. 🗃

I personally prefer everything in the world to be as clear and beautiful as redux-saga. ✨

But not everybody is lucky to work with React and Redux to be able to use sagas. ⛔️

This article will show that in modern Javascript it is not difficult to write a well structured and easy to understand asynchronous code without using any third-party libraries.💎

Card Surge 🌈

Designing cards takes tweaking subtle details, and an easier to use playground makes finding the right styles faster. 🏃🏻

Card Surge is a playground for designing cards in a web interface. ✨

Designing cards that look 🔥 takes careful tweaking and attention to detail, and Card Surge makes it easy. 🙅🏻‍♂️

Take existing styles from well designed sites and use them as a starting point, or begin playing with your own. Copy the code out into your own project once your done. 💎

Animate Calligraphy with SVG in CSS 🦋

From time to time at Stackoverflow, the question pops up whether there is an equivalent to the stroke-dashoffset technique for animating the SVG stroke that works for the fill attribute. 🤔

But upon closer inspection, what the questions are really trying to ask is something like this :

How do you animate calligraphy ⁉️

HTTPS explained with carrier pigeons ⚡️

Cryptography can be a hard subject to understand. It’s full of mathematical proofs. 🤷🏻‍♂️

But unless you are actually developing cryptographic systems, much of that complexity is not necessary to understand what is going on at a high level. 💎

If you opened this article hoping to create the next HTTPS protocol, I’m sorry to say that pigeons won’t be enough. 🕊

Otherwise, brew some coffee and enjoy the article. ☕️

All You Need To Know About CSS-in-JS 🌈

Thinking in components — No longer do you have to maintain bunch of style-sheets. CSS-in-JS abstracts the CSS model to the component level, rather than the document level (modularity). 🗂


What is CSS-in-JS❓

JSS is a more powerful abstraction over CSS. 🦋

It uses JavaScript as a language to describe styles in a declarative and maintainable way. 🗣

It is a high performance JS to CSS compiler which works at runtime and server-side. 💎

This core library is low level and framework agnostic. ✨

It is about 6KB (minified and gzipped) and is extensible via plugins API. 💉

Tired of using cron and Windows Task Scheduler❓

Want to use something easy that ties into your existing code❓

In Startup.cs, put this in ConfigureServices() 👾 :

services.AddScheduler(scheduler =>
{
scheduler.Schedule(
() => Console.WriteLine("Run at 1pm utc during week days."))
.DailyAt(13, 00)
.Weekday();
});

Easy enough❓

Insidious Dependencies 🤷🏻‍♂️

In the last year or so I’ve really seen the light on how to really write loosely-coupled code. 💎

I thought I knew something about this concept before – I mean, I knew loose coupling was good, generally speaking, and I knew data abstraction was one of the key ways to limit dependencies between classes. ✅

However, I didn’t realize that I was unintentionally adding all kinds of coupling into my applications despite my best efforts to the contrary. ⛔️

Let’s talk about some dependencies, including some obvious ones, as well as some insidious dependencies that lurk in most applications I’ve seen. 🗂

Insidious dependencies ❌ :
• File System
• Email
• Web Service & Requests
• DateTime.Now
• Configuration
• New ...

What was the funniest experience you've ever had related to programming => Asked from Lino Tadros❓

The funniest experience I had was during the Delphi 3 development cycle when I had a serious problem running one of the builds on my machine and after wasting almost 4 hours, I went to Anders and Chuck and requested help. 🙏🏻

Anders ( Anders Hejlsberg ) and Chuck came to my office, sat down next to each other in front of my machine and started debugging delphi32.exe inside of TD32. 🐞

I sat behind them watching. 👀

Few minutes later, Anders pointed to the CPU window at some bits and told Chuck :
"Look Chuck, this byte is not supposed to be here, this is a pcked record." 😦

Chuck looked at it for 5 seconds and confirmed. ✅

Then Anders looked at me and said :
"Lino, during the install from the network, one of the packages shifted 1 byte to the left for some reason, delete the package and reinstall." 😨

That was funny because I felt like I had the wrong job and that I should consider opening a hot dog stand somewhere instead of software development. 😶

These folks are Gods❗️

🔹🔸🔹🔸

Anders Hejlsberg 👾 :

He was the original author of Turbo Pascal and the chief architect of Delphi. 👐🏻

He currently works for Microsoft as the lead architect of C# and core developer on TypeScript. 💎
