Introduction

In this post, We would try to develop and publish a visual studio code extension using VSCode samples, APIs, and TypeScript. The extension we will make is called Oops and is currently available at the VSCode Marketplace and GitHub if you want to check it out for yourself.

This extension will be a simple and straightforward one as the functionalities are limited to these four items:

The book covers a portion of problems, solutions, mistakes, and some solutions to personal life happenings. It is more on the side of motivational speech rather than giving you a roadmap. Of course, if you are looking for a well-thought solution, this book might not suit your will. It is more of a written YouTube motivational video that showcases quotes from well-known people and tries to hype you up.

It gives solutions like you should give up your bad habits, build good habits instead of it, or you need to change your subconscious without any further details on how one should accomplish such goals. Until the last chapter of the book, where the author introduces his website and claims you need a coach to develop such traits in yourself, which leaves you wondering that you were reading a marketing book all along for his website and advertising his personal development programs.

Goal

The paper aims to find out how much using a social platform; in this case, Twitter would affect a politician preferential votes. Their presence on Twitter includes interacting with their potential voters and sharing their private persona. Further, it investigates the effect of candidates’ personalized communication on the number of preferential votes they receive.

The book is a very fragmented, a shortened version of papers. I have to say the book seems very like a how to be a perfect flattering person in your career. If you really believe you want to spend the rest of your life in a hierarchical organization. You just want to get promotion and earn money, this book can be your hidden gem but comes at the cost of literally giving up yourself to satisfy your boss(es) and colleague; this is far away from having an ego.

An outstanding book by Adam Wathan and Steve Schoger which clearly explains how to go from a ordinary UI to outstanding, modern and accessible one. It would teach you what to see in a UI and what matters while keeping things simple and easy for end-users.

This book can be used as a reference while designing a page or component of your web or mobile application and quickly checking and evaluating your design choices as each section is short and clearly explained.

How to consume APIs inside Laravel?

If you want to fetch, save, crawl, or fire a one-time request to a remote server that exposes API, there are a variety of options for Laravel. An example use-case would be updating the IMDB rating for a batch of movies and series for your film listing web application.

The popular ones are:

Things to keep in mind…

Heads Up! if the API you are going to consume in your application is well-known and complex, there is a high chance that someone else has already developed a library to just work with that API, like this Laravel package by Mustapha Alaouy that specifically calls YouTube API.

I just created a simple Vue.js spinner using SVG and CSS animation to iterate along with the different colors.

The default spinner comes from Glenn McComb post, where he created a spinning SVG circle using CSS animation. I have slightly adjusted it to put in a Vue.js template.

The HTML part is straight forward; we have a circle in 100 by 100 view box, centered at 50 with a radius of 45.

1. SSH into your server (Vagrant, Whatever)

2. Follow the following instruction:

Although I ended up adding manually (last step) maybe this can be a future reference for myself or any other developer.
