How does RSA work❓ RSA is an asymmetric system , which means that a key pair will be generated, a public key and a private key, obviously you keep your private key secure and pass around the public one. 🌍 The algorithm was published in the 70’s by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, hence RSA , and it sort of implement’s a trapdoor function such as Diffie’s one. 🛅 RSA is rather slow so it’s hardly used to encrypt data , more frequently it is used to encrypt and pass around symmetric keys which can actually deal with encryption at a faster speed. 🏃🏻 https://t.me/pgimg/149 How does it work❓ This videos simply shows that how does it work 🌀 : [ Part 1 ] : kutt.it/rsa1 [ Part 2 ] : kutt.it/rsa2 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #Cryptography #RSA @ProgrammingTip

What's This and Can I Delete It❓ Examining a Default ASP.NET Core MVC Project 💥 I have a very simple two-step process I use whenever I create or join a new project.☝🏻 I examine each folder and file, and ask "what's this, and can I delete it❓" After all, deleting things (or demolishing them, as may be appropriate) is so, so satisfying. 😃 I would be much happier deleting all code that ever existed. 🗂 To that end, we're going to examine a default ASP.NET Core project, created with ASP.NET Core 2.1 and Visual Studio 2017, to see what we absolutely have to keep and what can be thrown away. 💎 Let's get deleting❗️ https://t.me/pgimg/148 [ Article ] : kutt.it/NCtImP 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #AspMvc #Core @ProgrammingTip

How to use SVG as a Placeholder, and Other Image Loading Techniques 🌈 I’m passionate about image performance optimization and making images load fast on the web.⚡️ One of the most interesting areas of exploration is placeholders : what to show when the image hasn’t loaded yet. 🤷🏻‍♂️ During the last days I have come across some loading techniques that use SVG, and I would like to describe them in this post. 🔥 In this post we will go through these topics : • Overview of different types of placeholders 🗂 • SVG-based placeholders (edges, shapes and silhouettes) 👤 • Automating the process. ♻️ https://t.me/pgimg/147 [ Article ] : kutt.it/placeux From : @Dexign 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #UX #Design @ProgrammingTip

How to Stop Using Callbacks and Start Living ⚛️ Javascript has two major ways of dealing with asynchronous tasks - callbacks and Promises. 🤝 In general Promises are considered easier to use and to maintain than callbacks. ✅ But in reality even Promises alone won’t make you happy. 🤬 Asynchronous code may still be quite difficult to read and to understand. 🤯 Therefore third-party libraries, e.g. co, provided means to write a synchronous-like asynchronous code. 🗃 I personally prefer everything in the world to be as clear and beautiful as redux-saga. ✨ But not everybody is lucky to work with React and Redux to be able to use sagas. ⛔️ This article will show that in modern Javascript it is not difficult to write a well structured and easy to understand asynchronous code without using any third-party libraries.💎 https://t.me/pgimg/146 [ Article ] : kutt.it/call 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #JavaScript #CleanCode @ProgrammingTip

Card Surge 🌈 Designing cards takes tweaking subtle details, and an easier to use playground makes finding the right styles faster. 🏃🏻 Card Surge is a playground for designing cards in a web interface. ✨ Designing cards that look 🔥 takes careful tweaking and attention to detail, and Card Surge makes it easy. 🙅🏻‍♂️ Take existing styles from well designed sites and use them as a starting point, or begin playing with your own. Copy the code out into your own project once your done. 💎 https://t.me/pgimg/145 [ Website ] : card.surge.sh 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #CSS #UI #Cards @ProgrammingTip

Have Continuous Integration with Jenkins in 30 mins ⚡️ If you are building and deploying code within Visual Studio and find its hard to scale up a team of developers, few things can alleviate your pain better than a Continuous Integration (CI) System. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Never heard of continuous integration or you don’t know if it’s right for you❓ This article will help you to get started. 💎 https://t.me/pgimg/144 [ Article ] : kutt.it/jenkins 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #CI #Jenkins #DotNet @ProgrammingTip

Animate Calligraphy with SVG in CSS 🦋 From time to time at Stackoverflow, the question pops up whether there is an equivalent to the stroke-dashoffset technique for animating the SVG stroke that works for the fill attribute. 🤔 But upon closer inspection, what the questions are really trying to ask is something like this : How do you animate calligraphy ⁉️ This article answers this question. ✨ https://t.me/pgimg/143 [ Article ] : https://kutt.it/g0QuEh 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #HTML #CSS #FrontEnd @ProgrammingTip

HTTPS explained with carrier pigeons ⚡️ Cryptography can be a hard subject to understand. It’s full of mathematical proofs. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But unless you are actually developing cryptographic systems, much of that complexity is not necessary to understand what is going on at a high level. 💎 If you opened this article hoping to create the next HTTPS protocol, I’m sorry to say that pigeons won’t be enough. 🕊 Otherwise, brew some coffee and enjoy the article. ☕️ https://t.me/pgimg/142 [ Article ] : kutt.it/https 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #HTTPS #Cryptography @ProgrammingTip

All You Need To Know About CSS-in-JS 🌈 Thinking in components — No longer do you have to maintain bunch of style-sheets. CSS-in-JS abstracts the CSS model to the component level, rather than the document level (modularity). 🗂 What is CSS-in-JS❓ JSS is a more powerful abstraction over CSS. 🦋 It uses JavaScript as a language to describe styles in a declarative and maintainable way. 🗣 It is a high performance JS to CSS compiler which works at runtime and server-side. 💎 This core library is low level and framework agnostic. ✨ It is about 6KB (minified and gzipped) and is extensible via plugins API. 💉 https://t.me/pgimg/141 [ Article ] : kutt.it/jss 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #CSS #JavaScript #JSS @ProgrammingTip

Insidious Dependencies 🤷🏻‍♂️ In the last year or so I’ve really seen the light on how to really write loosely-coupled code. 💎 I thought I knew something about this concept before – I mean, I knew loose coupling was good, generally speaking, and I knew data abstraction was one of the key ways to limit dependencies between classes. ✅ However, I didn’t realize that I was unintentionally adding all kinds of coupling into my applications despite my best efforts to the contrary. ⛔️ Let’s talk about some dependencies, including some obvious ones, as well as some insidious dependencies that lurk in most applications I’ve seen. 🗂 Insidious dependencies ❌ : • File System • Email • Web Service & Requests • DateTime.Now • Configuration • New ... https://t.me/pgimg/139 [ Article ] : bit.do/indP 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #CleanCode #Dependency @ProgrammingTip

What was the funniest experience you've ever had related to programming => Asked from Lino Tadros❓ The funniest experience I had was during the Delphi 3 development cycle when I had a serious problem running one of the builds on my machine and after wasting almost 4 hours, I went to Anders and Chuck and requested help. 🙏🏻 Anders ( Anders Hejlsberg ) and Chuck came to my office, sat down next to each other in front of my machine and started debugging delphi32.exe inside of TD32. 🐞 I sat behind them watching. 👀 Few minutes later, Anders pointed to the CPU window at some bits and told Chuck : "Look Chuck, this byte is not supposed to be here, this is a pcked record." 😦 Chuck looked at it for 5 seconds and confirmed. ✅ Then Anders looked at me and said : "Lino, during the install from the network, one of the packages shifted 1 byte to the left for some reason, delete the package and reinstall." 😨 That was funny because I felt like I had the wrong job and that I should consider opening a hot dog stand somewhere instead of software development. 😶 These folks are Gods❗️ 🔹🔸🔹🔸 Anders Hejlsberg 👾 : He was the original author of Turbo Pascal and the chief architect of Delphi. 👐🏻 He currently works for Microsoft as the lead architect of C# and core developer on TypeScript. 💎 🔸🔹🔸🔹 https://t.me/pgimg/137 [ Wikipedia ] : bit.do/anHej [ Full Interview ] : bit.do/linO 〰〰〰〰〰〰 #Fun #Interview @ProgrammingTip
