Tech Fikra!

Are you ready to take your skills to the next level and become a world-class software engineer?

Can you remember the last time you opened a book to learn something new?

Using Java? You better handle your passwords in char arrays and if you're wondering why, I'll tell you all about it here!

Credits ( http://www.mozilla.org/ ) Just when I thought it was going to take a long time for HTML5 based apps on mobile devices to become widespread, along came Mozilla with the newly promised Firefox OS.

Just a simple thought I'd like to share with you today! It hit me after watching the Code.org video aimed at inspiring people to learn to code all over the United States and the world!

Today's Engineering wisdom is, "Stay in the DRY!" A Corny opening statement, but I don't really care what you think of it.. cause it doesn't really matter.

So, this year is a promising one for mobile platforms with existing and new vendors entering the market. Is that a good thing or a bad thing, we are yet to find out!

A nice tip that would save you some pain when dealing with change! I am talking about development environment servers and the possibility of an IP address change on their network interface.

Hey there, let's jump right into this, but before we start I must say, I've been using the eclipse IDE for several years now ( it's actually eight years to be exact ) and I must say, it has been quite a great journey so far with one of the powerful tools for developers.

So, this is kind of late, but I've been seeing all sorts of results when Googling problems I face during my daily job coming from www.stackoverflow.com . I couldn't help but notice the quality of the replies and helpful hints I saw there.

I would like to talk to you about HTML5, just to give you a little insight on what it is and where it came from.

I was checking for updates to the applications installed on my Android phone and to my surprise, the Google Docs apps was changed into.. Google Drive :)

I had published a poll on LinkedIn last month asking people to state the longest time they managed to stay away from technology. My poll wasn't that popular only sixteen people participated, but nevertheless, here are the results.

What do you do when you feel your brain is shutting down while reading a 550 pages book?

I am so curious about the attachment people have with their smart phones, tablets, etc..  So I created a simple and naive poll on LinkedIn  to find out! If you didn't notice the link to the poll up there, here it is right here :-)

Back in 2008 I was carrying out a conversation with a colleague here at STS. We were talking about how Google was reshaping our understanding of the operating system and computers.

"What is like out there?" a question that sometimes pops-up in my head. I've been working in the same place for eight years now and I have to admit, it has been a blast.

This is an unrelated blog post, not connected to the technology world in any way except that the whole thing is hosted on the internet!

This post is off topic considering my blog's content, but it's really worth it :)

Everything must come to an end one day.. I guess you already know where I'm going with this :) But for those who didn't get it.. This will be the last post digesting my Technology Tips Tweets, hope you all had fun reading them and learnt new things.
