Software Development Portfolio

Here are a few examples, to demonstrate a little bit of our past software development work:
  • Well-Being Ideas Software Demo: A cloud-based, Web 2.0, social networking, SaaS application, adapted from the Open Source Pligg CMS (Developed while employed at a corporation)
  • Pligg CMS Contributions: I became a member of the official Pligg development team, and I was cited for significant contributions to the latest version (Contributed while employed at a corporation)
  • PTL: Web-to-Desktop Application Framework (Incomplete)
  • Walk In The Light™: Screenshot E-Mailer in Java (Incomplete)
(Many of our past software development projects are not available in our public portfolio, right now. Some projects are unavailable because we developed them for private clients, or because they are components of more complex applications.)

Reality Checks to Demystify Buzzwords

As an IT insider, I feel I have something valuable to offer nontechnical people in terms of correcting misinformation. Here are a few simple tests for some popular buzzwords in tech. When evaluating a product or service, if you can honestly answer Yes to the reality check question, the buzzword probably truly applies. If the answer is No, it is probably fake. agile Does it make the developers happy? blockchain Does it cut out the middleman? cloud Does it automatically scale? microservice Does it only do one thing? object oriented Is it mostly made of interfaces? RESTful When requests arrive at a certain address, are they ready to use (without parsing)? unit test Does it prevent the tested code from touching anything outside itself?

How (Not) to Handle Different Exceptions

Came across this sample from a certain multi-billion-dollar company, purporting to show how to implement exception handling. I slightly changed a few cosmetic details to make it anonymous. try { // ... } catch (GeneralException e) { if (e instanceof SpecificExceptionA){ // ... } else if (e instanceof SpecificExceptionB){ // ... } } This is a true actual story--you can't make this stuff up. Yeah, I thought it was pretty hilarious; so I felt like I had to share it.
