What is GitHub Codespaces and how can Students access it for free?
GitHub Codespaces is a new service that is free for anyone to develop with powerful environments using Visual Studio Code. In this post, we'll cover how you can make use of this new technology and take advantage of its most powerful features.Dev Database to go! The perfect database for developer
When building a new project, we don't need a big database that scales and has lots of data, but we do still need some kind of data source. Of course, it is possible to fake it and have some hardcoded value returned by an API but that takes time to create and it's not a database. In this post, I want to share a solution to have a portable, self-healing, disposable, disconnected database that doesn't require any installation.Get started with Docker and Containers.
Docker solves a lot of problems like: - Creating a reproduceable environment, great if you want Dev, Staging and Pro environment to look the same. - Helps with onboarding. Onboarding developers used to take weeks, before they had installed all the programs, all the libraries, configured everything correctly. - Works on my machine AND in the Cloud. The Docker container is a black box that runs the same everywhere because you specify what's in there from, variables, libs, your app, and hosting layer. - Microservice architecture, a lot of system today are split up into many small pieces APIs. To build all of these small pieces you need a container technology like Docker. As a new developer, learning about using containers is a must as so many Companies use it and it's used evreywhere from Web, to ML to IoT. Here's a collection of tutorials that takes you from the very beginning.Using Visual Studio Code from a docker image locally or remotely via VS Online
A development container is a running Docker container with a well-defined tool/runtime stack and its prerequisites. The Remote - Containers extension in the Remote Development extension pack allows you to open any folder mounted into or inside a dev container and take advantage of VS Code's full development feature set.High Performance Real time object detection on Nvidia Jetson TX2.
Real time object detection on my Nvidia Jetson TX2. The real time term here simply means, low latency and high throughput. It's a very loosely defined term, but it's used here in contrast to the store-and-process pattern, where storage is used as an interim stage.
