• Want to Get Better at Java? Go Old School.

  I will not suggest truly old-school Java programming. When I started in Java, we built Java classes with the javac command. This led to writing shell scripts to build complex projects and finally, Makefiles using the Unix and Windows commands make and nmake respectively. I remember being thrilled when the Ant utility came out and we had a pure Java build tool. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Better CI/CD caching with new-gen build systems

  A build system is a program that orchestrates the execution of underlying tools such as compilers, code generators, test runners, linters and so on. Examples of build systems include the venerable Make, the JVM-centric Ant, Maven and Gradle, and newer systems such as Pants and Bazel (full disclosure: I am one of the maintainers of Pants). - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Build error when running 'nix build', running build steps by hand with 'nix develop' works

  You are missing a dependency: antlr. You have ant instead, which is something completely different. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Low-Code tools & Frontend

  Does any of you use a low-code tool like Retool or Appian? If so, what is the most common use case? Source: over 1 year ago

• Appian Associate Developer Certification help

  Look for use case inspiration in the Solutions area of appian.com and within the AppMarket. See if you can build proof of concepts of some of these. Source: over 1 year ago

• What is best way to create an online responsive database driven website to help manage my small orchard?

  There are low code database driven website creation systems out there at the moment e.g. OutSystems and Appian however they have very limited free trials (e.g. auto-disable after a few days of no use), and then the paid options are again too expensive. Although I will note that they seem to be great in terms of their usability and would be perfect for creating a simple interface without too much diving into code. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Software Engineer role - Transferable or Pigeon-holed?

  My concern however is - the working software isn't a generic language such as Java, C#/C++, Python etc. - it is with Appian (Business Process Management), which is a rather specific low-code platform for developing workflow and automation solutions. The role does have other elements potentially too such as getting hands on cloud and API dev etc. The pay for Appian Developers currently is GREAT due to high demand -... Source: about 2 years ago

• What is low code?

  Platforms like UiPath, Workato, and Appian provide ways to integrate apps and automate the processes that connect and flow between them. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
