The goal of your blog is to engage your target audience by encouraging them to read your content. And you can also achieve this if you provide an excellent user experience. By Christopher Jan Benitez.

This post discusses how you can better accommodate your readers by tweaking your blog. Doing so enables you to keep them on your blog longer as they read your content in the hopes of turning them into your followers, if not customers. Further in the article you will find information how to:

• Make the pages load faster
• Observe proper formatting
• Consider removing sidebar
• Reduce options
• Write about what users want to read
• Top 8 UX design blog to inspire you

People visited your site to read your content about the topic they searched for online. They’re not interested in the offers on your pop-ups or ad banners. At the same time, you can’t load up your pages with multiple calls to action that have nothing to do with your content’s topic. And most importantly - choose a niche. What are you passionate about? What do you know a lot about? What do you think people would be interested in reading about? Once you’ve chosen a niche, you can start to focus on creating content that is relevant to that audience. Some good advice here!

Large Scale Scrum, LeSS for short, has caught your attention. Maybe you’ve just started with Scrum but are already thinking about the next steps. Maybe you’re a veteran of single-team Scrum, looking to expand it to other teams. By @nimblework.com.

LeSS keeps Scrum’s core intact: exposing organizational design weaknesses through a minimal framework and letting you solve the complex problems inherent in development, through empirical process control and continuous improvement.

This article covers:

• Brief history
• Principles, and practices
• Rules
• Practices
• Queueing theory
• Key roles and responsibilities
• Organizational structure

In a LeSS organization there’s no place for project managers or a program/ project management office (PMO). You don’t need them because their responsibilities transfer to a Product Owner and the feature teams, and to avoid confusion and potentially even turf wars. In a LeSS organization, Feature Teams do the development work. They are what others would call product teams. Each team creates and is responsible for end-to-end customer-centric features, rather than components or a technical layer.

LeSS seeks to apply the “principles, purpose, elements, and elegance of Scrum in a large-scale context, as simply as possible.” Among other principles and practices, it uses Lean Thinking and Systems thinking to keep the framework and your overhead as light as possible and still guide you in important decisions.

If you subscribe to the idea of “Less Is More” and want to keep overhead to a minimum. If you value keeping everyone focused on the whole product at all times. If you’re comfortable with running experiments and adapting as you go. If you like teams progressing in their Scrum adoption at their own pace. Then you’re ready to adopt Large Scale Scrum as your framework for scaling agile. Your first step toward that would be to learn more about LeSS, especially its core principles and its principles for adopting it. Super interesting read!

One of Go’s greatest strengths lies in the its suitability for developing web applications. It offers great performance out of the box, is easy to deploy, and has many of the necessary tools you need to build and deploy a scalable web service in its standard library. This tutorial will walk you through a practical example of building a web application with Go and deploying it to production. It will cover the basics of using Go’s built-in HTTP server and templating language, and how to interact with external APIs. By Ayo.

The only requirement for this tutorial is that you have Go installed on your computer and that you are vaguely familiar with its syntax and constructs. The article then guides through:

• Prerequisites
• Downloading the starter files
• Creating a web server
• Reading variables from the environment
• Getting started with templating in Go
• Automatically restarting the server
• Serving static files
• Creating the search route
• Creating the News API client

… and more. In this article, we successfully created a News app and learnt the basics of using Go for web development along the way. We also covered how to deploy the finished application to Heroku. Nice one!

AI models are everywhere, in the form of chatbots, classification and summarization tools, image models for segmentation and detection, recommendation models, and more. AI machine learning (ML) models help automate many business processes, generate insights from data, and deliver new experiences. By Shankar Chandrasekaran.

Python is one of the most popular languages used in AI/ML development. In this post, you will learn how to use NVIDIA Triton Inference Server to serve models within your Python code and environment using the new PyTriton interface. In this article you will learn:

• What is PyTriton?
• Simplicity of Flask
• PyTriton code examples
• Dynamic batching support
• Online learning
• Multi-node inference of large language models
• Stable Diffusion

PyTriton provides a simple interface that enables Python developers to use NVIDIA Triton Inference Server to serve a model, a simple processing function, or an entire inference pipeline. This native support for Triton Inference Server in Python enables rapid prototyping and testing of ML models with performance and efficiency. A single line of code brings up Triton Inference Server. Good read!

It’s time that you took your React applications out of development and into production! But the process of deploying an application built on top of a framework — such as React, Vue.js, or Angular — is much different from that of deploying a site built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. By Ashutosh Singh.

This is an older source of information but still valid. Author will demonstrate how to deploy a React application with eight different services:

• Vercel
• Firebase
• Netlify
• GitHub Pages
• Heroku
• Surge
• Render
• GitLab Pages

All the services described in this post are completely free with no hidden credit card requirements until you pass a certain limit, which is usually based on view counts or bandwidth. Author have also included a brief list of some other platforms that are worth checking out, but didn’t quite make the list. Nice one!

In this detailed guide, author will share the practical roadmap for becoming a DevOps Engineer based on his 10 years of experience working as a DevOps engineer in various organizations. By Bibin Wilson.

Many people argue (including author) that there is nothing like a “DevOps Engineer” or a “DevOps Team” because it is not a thing. However, everyone in the industry has now gotten used to the term “DevOps engineer”, and as long as you understand the DevOps philosophy, these titles don’t matter much.

Further in the article:

• Who is a DevOps engineer?
• DevOps engineer roadmap
• Understand DevOps culture
• Learn how infrastructure components work
• Learn cloud computing & virtualization
• Learn infrastructure automation
• Learn container orchestration and distributed systems
• Logging & monitoring & observability
• Learn security best practices (DevSecOps)
• Learn programming & scripting
• Different types of “DevOps teams”

… and much more. The tools and processes involved in DevOps are not limited to what is mentioned in this article. However, these are commonly used open-source tools and technologies you can start with to become a DevOps engineer. Nice one!

The web development world is vast, and it’s easy to feel lost in the constant stream of new technologies emerging every day. Most of these new technologies are built using JavaScript or TypeScript. However, in this article, author will introduce you to web development using native Swift, directly inside your browser. By Mikhail Isaev.

For Swift to work natively on the web page it needs to be compiled to WebAssembly byte-code first and then JavaScript could load that code onto the page. The whole process of compilation is a bit tricky since we need to use the special toolchain and build helper files, that’s why there are helper CLI-tools available: Carton and Webber.

Carton is made by the SwiftWasm community and can be used for Tokamak projects, which is a framework that gives you the ability to write websites using SwiftUI. Webber is made for SwifWeb projects. SwifWeb is different in that it wraps the entire HTML and CSS standards, as well as all of the web APIs.

The article then walks you through every step of building web application. The source code is also provided. Nice one!

Akka-http is the foundation of many Scala and Java web services that have been successfully running on production for quite some time now. It’s powered by Akka, a concurrency toolkit that had a big impact on Scala’s hype taking off. By Paweł Kiersznowski.

Tha author then diffuse some misconceptins:

• Akka-http is dead due to license changes
• The routing is unreadable
• The internals are not purely functional, therefore it’s unsafe
• It’s tied to scala.concurrent.Future
• It’s too complicated to use
• It’s better off wrapped by another HTTP library

Over the years, akka-http has been frequently the center of heated discussions, which created a lot of interesting viewpoints in the Scala community. Some of them usually weren’t confronted with what akka-http is actually capable of, and they are the main focus of this article. I hope I provided some balance with my thoughts on this library. Nice one!

Generative AI - the ability of algorithms to create new text, images, sounds, animations, 3D models and even computer code — is moving at warp speed, transforming the way people work and play. By Cliff Edwards.

Early adopters across industries — from drug discovery, financial services, retail and telecommunications to energy, higher education and the public sector — are combining accelerated computing with generative AI to transform business operations, service offerings and productivity. Article then delves into:

• Generative AI for drug discovery
• Generative AI for financial services
• Generative AI for retail
• Generative AI for telecommunications
• Generative AI for energy
• Generative AI for higher education and research
• Generative AI for the public sector

Although Node.js remains the most-used server-side JavaScript runtime by a huge margin, alternative runtimes like Deno and Bun have garnered attention as they attempt to improve upon the Node.js concept. By Jeremy Holcombe.

Deno, the more popular of the two newer runtimes, addresses some security issues inherent in Node.js and provides more comprehensive support for technologies like TypeScript and WebAssembly. Further in the article you will learn:

• What Is Deno?
• What Does Deno Do?
• Deno vs Node
• Deno vs Bun
• Getting Started with Deno

Ryan Dahl developed Node.js for this purpose and, later, created Deno to address some of the issues he encountered with the original Node.js design. Some notable flaws include its reliance on a centralized package manager like npm, the lack of a standard library, and lax-by-default security settings. Deno aims to follow the same APIs as browsers do, which means that code written for browsers is easily translatable to the runtime. Nice one!
