LINQ entered .NET as a powerful new language for data manipulation. LINQ to SQL, as part of it, allows for convenient interaction with databases using tools like Entity Framework. However, developers often overlook what specific SQL query the queryable provider, in this case, Entity Framework, will generate. Let's break down two key aspects […]
The quality of data in storage is a crucial prerequisite for obtaining valuable information. Poor quality leads to a negative chain reaction in the long run. First, trust in the provided information diminishes. People begin to use Business Intelligence applications less, leaving the potential of these applications untapped.

1. Introduction Injustice is immeasurable: correcting one risks committing another. Roman Rolland Having worked as a programmer since the early '90s, I have repeatedly faced undervaluation issues. For example, I am young, smart, and positively regarded from all sides, yet for some reason, I am not advancing up the career ladder. Well, not that I'm not advancing at all, but I seem to be progressing in a way that is […]

When a developer begins international expansion, it is essential to give users from another country the possibility to work with the interface in their native language. In this article, we will create a React Native application using the react-native-localize package. Skillbox recommends: Educational online course 'Java Developer Profession'. […]

This note will discuss various "large" software tools for backup, including commercial options. The candidates list includes Veeam Agent for Linux and Bacula. The focus will be on filesystem operations to facilitate comparison with previous candidates. Expected results Since both candidates are universal off-the-shelf solutions, the most critical outcome will be the predictability of performance, namely, consistent runtime […]
In April, the organizers of Slurm — a Kubernetes course — reached out to me to test it and share my impressions: Dmitry, Slurm is a three-day intensive course on Kubernetes, a packed educational event. You likely won't be able to write about it if you just sit through two hours of the first lecture. Are you ready to engage fully? Before Slurm, preparatory online courses needed to be completed […]
To express what words cannot convey; to feel the most diverse emotions intertwining in a whirlwind of feelings; to be detached from the earth, the sky, and even the universe itself, embarking on a journey with no maps, no roads, no signs; to create, narrate, and experience an entire story that will always remain unique and unrepeatable. All of this is made possible by music — an art form that has existed for many […]
This article is a brief overview of the book Game Interface Design by author Brent Fox. For me, this book was interesting from the perspective of a programmer who develops games as a hobby solo. Here, I will describe how helpful it has been for me and my hobby. This overview will help you decide whether it’s worth spending your time on it […]
