Asynchronous for faster code processing (Javascript)

Usually when you write a program, each line of code will be executed after one another. The speed and time to execute is depend on how complex the code. This method is called Synchronous where a line of code will be run until its finish. Once It finished, It will execute the next line of code. There...

Task vs ValueTask in C# .NET

Hello Fellow Readers, Welcome back again to this new interesting topic in the world of .NET (C#)software development. When working with asynchronous programming in C# .NET, you often come across the need to return asynchronous operations as results. Traditionally, the Task type has been...

Unleashing the Magic of Async/Await: Mastering Asynchronous JavaScript for Seamless Development

Greetings, fellow developers and code enthusiasts! Are you ready to embark on a journey that will empower your JavaScript skills to reach new heights? Today, we’re delving deep into the heart of asynchronous programming, unveiling the secrets of Async/Await that can elevate your web ...

Exploring Callback Functions: Understanding Asynchronous and Synchronous Programming

In the world of programming, two fundamental paradigms often come into play: asynchronous programming and synchronous programming. These concepts are crucial to understand, as they determine how actions are initiated and executed in your code. Asynchronous Programming: Asynchronous programmi...

JavaScript 101: All About Timers

JavaScript timers are great tools for achieving recurrent behavior or even triggering delayed actions. Whatever time-based logic you have, timers are the answer to your questions. But if you don’t fully understand how they work, then you’ll be hitting your head against a JavaScript...

Run Asynchronous Calls Against WebDrivers

Recently, I was looking for Python libraries capable of executing asynchronous commands in WebDrivers, such as ChromeDriver or GeckoDriver. Unfortunately, none of them worked, so I decided to create my own library. Hence, Caqui was born. I’ve used it in another&nbsp...

An Introduction to Asynchronous Programming in Python 3

Python is considered one of the easiest languages to learn. The Python approach to asynchronous code, on the other hand, can be quite confusing. This article will walk through key concepts and examples of async Python code to make it more approachable. In particular, you should take away the foll...

Your daily standup should be asynchronous. Here’s why

The first time I joined a team that did an asynchronous daily standup meeting — or daily Scrum — I admit I was sceptical. The idea of not having a fixed time for checking in with everyone seemed counterintuitive (at best — at worst, maybe a recipe for chaos). Were big updates...

Building Scalable Applications Using Redis as a Message Broker

Redis is an open-source, in-memory datastore. You can use Redis as a messaging system by employing one of its three features: Streams, Pub/Sub, and Lists. Additionally, Redis offers Transaction and Pipeline capabilities to help build performant applications at scale. Lua scripting, server-side ...

Event-Driven Architecture Explained: A Guide for Novice Developers

Hello, upcoming developers! If you’re delving into the world of software design, you might have bumped into the term “Event-Driven Architecture” or EDA. At first glance, it might seem a bit complex, but let’s simplify it and understand its essence. What Exactly is EDA? ...

Asynchronous vs. Synchronous Communication in the Workplace

The terms synchronous and asynchronous originate from the world of computer programming. These terms refer to the sequential or non-sequential execution of processes. In synchronous programming, operations run in a sequence, with each process waiting for the previous one to complete before moving on...

Mastering Asynchronous Meetings: 8 Best Practices

Meetings consume a significant amount of our time — precisely 31 hours per month. This is not just wasteful but also inefficient and stressful. This issue has become even more pronounced in the post-pandemic era, where we find ourselves in six times as many group meetings and...

Unlocking Creativity through Asynchronous Work

In the first of my topics on teams and productivity, I asked ChatGPT to talk about Asynchronous Meetings. In follow-up discussions, some of asked about what it means to be asynchronous more generally. In the post below, I asked more about the relationship between asynchronous ways of communi...

Run Asynchronous Tasks in New Kubernetes Pods with NodeJS

When you start creating APIs as a junior developer, you build everything synchronously. You don’t think in advance that the data in production is much bigger, that the forEach on your test data will behave differently on a million lines. If you’re lucky, everything breaks when you releas...
