lib12 – my helper library

lib12 – my helper library

Comments 3 comments

After several years of developing various IT projects I’ve collected a set of various helper methods and classes. Sometimes I also have written a more generic solution that could be used across projects, like a fluent SQL query generator to support micro-orms. Most of the times I’ve just copied useful code between projects. After doing it several times I’ve started thinking about wrapping it all in one library and copying reference to NuGet package instead. So I did exactly that – some time…

DevConf 2017 – my recommendations

DevConf 2017 – my recommendations

Comments 2 comments

About month ago I had a pleasure to attend DevConf conference in Kraków. It was the first time after rebranding (previously DevConf was known as DevDay) and I must say from the time perspective it was really nice! I heard many good things about DevDay/DevConf before – now I can say, that these voices were indeed right. I really liked the organization, the wide variety of topics, afterparty and tasty food 🙂 Also ability to meet people with similar interest…

This is the final post for Get Noticed 2017 competition, so it’s time for some summary 🙂 What was good? I finished it 🙂 I managed to find a time and I worked hard. During the competition I had problems, similar to ones that can be found in all IT projects – stuff doesn’t work as I think it should, other things took longer that I expected they’ll take. I had problems sticking to the schedule – many times I post only…

When working long in the same field, people tend to make fun of it and create jokes that make fun of broken stuff that cannot be fixed. If you work for some time in IT, you surely will be sooner or later familiar with most of them 🙂 So to brighter a little day when nothing is working I wanted to create an additional plugin for TeamScreen where you could see some funny images. Unfortunately I run out of time,…

TeamScreen – general progress update #3

TeamScreen – general progress update #3

Comments 0 Comment

This will be the shortest post related to TeamScreen and Get Noticed competition. Recently I had a very little time for developing it and more importantly, I’m a little bit tired of it. I need a little break and with competition finishing in few days I’ll certainly have that 🙂 I did quite a lot stuff outside of work, you can check it out here and I think a break is very important when you’re doing them. We are not robots,…

Accessing GitHub using REST and C#

Accessing GitHub using REST and C#

Comments 1 comment

Some time ago I created a GitStat app and described it in this post. To do that I used the libgit2sharp library, which I also planned to use for git plugin for TeamScreen. Unfortunately, at the time I’m writing this post, there isn’t the libgit2sharp version for .NET Core. I needed alternate approach so I decided to go for accessing GitHub repository via its REST API. I wanted to have general solution, but it’s just not possible at this time 🙁…

As software developers, we have a lot of rules – SOLID, DRY, YAGNI. They help us to create a source code that is easy to maintain. There is one more rule that in my opinion is much more important than all others – KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid. Why is it so important? Few examples: Architecture During years of work as a software developer, I came in contact with many systems. Often the architect/tech leader imagine a great architecture. The problem…

As I mentioned in the first post of this series, when you are going through IT company, TV screens with a list of running/failing builds aren’t an uncommon thing. Depending on the size of the company you can pass many of them, but all you see it’s just a set of different words, you have not a clue what actually means. You pass these people every day and very often all you know about them are just those build names….

Creating health check dashboard using Warden

Comments 1 comment

Hello! Today’s post for Get Noticed competition will be about creating a dynamic dashboard for health checks. The goal of this is to have one place when you can check if every system/environment you maintain actually works. To do this I’m gonna use Warden, which is a library created especially for this task, by the last year winner of Get Noticed competition, Piotr Gankiewicz. Warden support a lot of different types of checks, can work in real-time and even send…

TeamScreen – general progress update #2

Last three post were about creating a general architecture for TeamScreen application – handling views, settings, and plugins itself. Today’s post will be about polishing it. First screens showing how TeamScreen looks now: TeamCity plugin: JIRA plugin: Settings screen with TeamCity tab: In my opinion is definitely an improvement from how it looked before. I changed the bootstrap theme to use something more darkly by using SuperHero theme from Bootswatch site. Other minor things regarding UI: Created favicon using great generator I…
