What Progressive Web Apps can do for you?

This allows you to get your app out faster and to more people than you would be able to with deploying to the App Store and Google Play. Also, because you are not tied to the app store, this means that updates can be immediately available to everyone using your app, by simply pushing your new code to your web server. And because PWAs run in the browser, your single PWA can then be reached from just a click on a URL, greatly reducing the barrier to entry to your app!

Progressive Web Apps

A new way to deliver amazing user experiences on the web. : https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/

What’s driving this trend? Part of it could be app fatigue among consumers who care more about mobile experiences and less about installing yet another app, and developers who want their apps to run on mobile and desktop web environments, not just in the app stores.

2017 Ionic Developer Survey

Hybrid dev is dominating, PWAs are on fire, and while Google Firebase is hot – wearables are not.

Two years ago, 20% of developers surveyed were building exclusively with native tools instead of hybrid. In the next two years, that number is only 2.9% – a nearly 7x decrease.

https://ionicframework.com/survey/2017#trends

Finally, 31.5% of developers are targeting progressive web apps. That’s a big jump for something the dev community just started talking about two years ago. Meanwhile, responsive web apps were targeted by 34.7% of respondents. What’s driving this trend? Part of it could be app fatigue among consumers who care more about mobile experiences and less about installing yet another app, and developers who want their apps to run on mobile and desktop web environments, not just in the app stores.

Ne használj MD5 titkosítást

„Az egyirányú függvények úgy működnek, hogy az egyik irányban nagyon könnyű őket kiszámolni, a másik irányban pedig nehéz. Ez utóbbi arra hagyatkozik, hogy matematikailag meg lehet mondani, mekkora számítási kapacitás kell ahhoz, hogy kiszámoljuk. Ahogy nő a számítógépek képessége, úgy egy-egy hash függvény elavulttá válik. Pont ez a probléma az MD5-tel, hogy erre léteznek már algoritmusok, melyekkel vissza lehet fejteni az eredeti jelszót. Az általánosságban elmondható, hogy ha valaki MD5-öt használ, ismeri a titkosítási alapelvet, de nem a megfelelő függvényt, az aktuális szabványt használja.”
Miért problémás így titkosítani?

A hash egy egyirányú függvény, aminek ha megadunk egy tetszőleges hosszúságú szöveget, akkor abból egy fix hosszúságú, egyedi azonosítót generál. Az adott adatbázisokban ezt az egyedi hash-t és nem magát a jelszót tárolják sima szövegként.

Például: szormok = 7ac71ad56115c8fb73392549d3a78540

Modern rendszereknél a jelszavakat lassú, egyirányú függvényekkel kódolják (pl. Bcrypt, Scrypt vagy PBKDF2 10000+) Az MD5 viszont egy nagyon gyors függvény, így gyorsan végigpróbálható számos lehetőség. Példaképp a mai számítógépes kapacitások figyelembevételével, egy GTX980-as videókártyával MD5 esetén egy másodperc alatt 9745 millió hash-t tudnak végigpróbálni, míg Scryptnél másodpercenként csak 12 (!!) hash-t –azaz: egy másodperc alatt az A betűtől eljutnak az L-ig.

A brute force jelszótörő programok (pl. hashcat) mellett úgynevezett rainbow table-kkel is visszafejthetőek az egyszerűbb jelszavak. Ez lényegében egy óriási táblázat, ami az összes létező jelszókombinációt és a hozzá tartozó hash-t tartalmazza adott hosszúságig.

Így gyorsan visszafejthető, hogy ki használja az adatbázisban a “7ac71ad56115c8fb73392549d3a78540” jelszót, ami jelen esetben a “szormok”.

Is the App Store dead?

“The App Store is hard. Because you’re only selling these for a small amount of muney. And, Apple or Android is taking their cut. And, there’s so much competition out there.”

That’s probably true.

But, there’s also stories like Tasnim Ahmed…

Who went from jobless to 100K with apps…

Or Jan Kourn, who was on welfare and food stamps…

Only to have his app, WhatsApp, bought for 21.8B…

When things go bad with a client

I think a lot of developers are scared of this.

And, what happens is they’re so scared of making a client mad that they cave when the client pushes the scope of the project… or asks them to do something that is a terrible idea… or is flaking on their part of the process then blaming you for the project being delayed.

Etc, etc.

Well… let me tell you a little story.

I once had a client who accidentally sent me an email with a thread attached that was between her and her team. And, it said some pretty nasty things about me. Now, mind you, every conversation I had with her was pleasant and I thought things were going just fine.

Apparently not.

So, when I read it, what did I do?

Did I ask what I was doing wrong?

Did I immediately call her to “fix” things?

Did I freak out and assume I’d never get a client again?

Nope.

I emailed her and told her we’re done. I copied and pasted what she had wrote in the thread and said, “Obviously things aren’t working out so it’s best we just part ways… immediately.”

Of course, she apologized profusely…

And, begged me to stay on.

In fact, about 6 months later, she tweeted me asking to talk…

And, wanting to hire me back…

And, I told her no.

This is the thing about having standards and a sense of self-respect. I know you probably need the muney. But, it’s just simply not worth “selling your soul” over. You might now believe that right now…

But, someday, these words will ring true for you.

Point is…

Don’t be scared of your clients. Don’t let them bully or cajole you into doing things you know you shouldn’t do. No one client no matter how big or well-known can ruin your career.

And, if you’re trying to do the right thing…

And, admitting when you do make mistakes…

Even if they put you on blast…

Others will see you’re a good person…

And, not hold it against you.

Anyway, do with that what you will.

It’s a much more important less than you might initially think.

Now, onto da biz…

Later,

John

Technical Knowledge Alone Isn’t Enough – Increase Your Software Development Income by Leveling Up Your Soft Skills

Early in his software developer career, John Sonmez discovered that technical knowledge alone isn’t enough to break through to the next income level – developers need “soft skills” like the ability to learn new technologies just in time, communicate clearly with management and consulting clients, negotiate a fair hourly rate, and unite teammates and coworkers in working toward a common goal.

As John invested in these skills his career took off, and he became a highly paid, highly sought-after developer and consultant.

Today John helps more than 1.4 million programmers every year to increase their income by developing this unique blend of skills.
