Gemischtdatenladen

Genau wie das persönliche Surfverhalten sind die Einkaufsgewohnheiten eines Menschen sehr aufschlussreich – wenn man es schafft, die unhandlichen Daten zu analysieren. Wer so einen Datenschatz im Selbstversuch auswertet, bekommt Einblicke ins eigene Einkaufsverhalten, Erfahrung in der Analyse von Daten und obendrein ein unterhaltsames Programmierprojekt.

Rich code documentation with Jekyll

Code knows no gender

Girls’Day - Braucht man den eigentlich noch? Immerhin stehen Mädchen heute zwecks Berufswahl eine Vielzahl an Informationsquellen zur Verfügung: von zahlreichen Internetseiten, über Podcasts bis hin zu Vorbildern im persönlichen Umfeld. Ein Blick auf die Zahlen in unserer Branche aber verrät: Ja, den brauchen wir. Denn nur 25 Prozent aller Informatikstudierenden sind weiblich. Da liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass es mehr Aufklärung, Information und auch ein wenig Werbung bedarf, um mehr Mädchen für die Softwareentwicklung zu begeistern. Wie wir den Tag in Hamburg gestaltet haben, was wir gemeinsam mit den Girls erreicht haben und die eine oder andere lesson learned – darum geht’s in diesem Blogpost.

Customer-specific documentation with Jekyll

Static site generation is a perfect fit for publishing documentation. In a recent project, we chose to use Jekyll for rendering our content. As a special requirement, we had to build different “flavours” for different customers.

Managing Kubernetes Resources with Kustomize

Helm is the de-facto standard for managing groups of Kubernetes resources that belong to an application as a package. It comes with its own ecosystem to build, configure and distribute these packages. In some cases, this is an appropriate approach but sometimes we just want to manage our resources as yaml files and need a simple way to slightly modify the resources for different environments. In this article we will have a look at how Kustomize can help us with this.

Libraries for command-line applications

Command-line applications are admittedly not the most common due to the start time of the JVM. Their development for internal applications can however be appropriate, depending on the level of knowledge of the team. And thanks to the native compiling with GraalVM, the start time is accelerated. Much of the work involved in a command-line application involves parsing and use of the provided arguments and options. We look at four possible libraries that can assist us.
