1: Pragmatic Programmer Digest
Starting a new weekly series called Pragmatic Programmer Digest to share content from around the internet that I found helpful in learning more about field of software engineering.
Developer Roadmap
The Developer Roadmap is an awesome Github guide for exploring the different domains and learning topics of the software engineering field. Broken down into roadmaps, it shows you where to start and then progresses into more advanced topics. For example in the frontend roadmap you start with learning basic CSS, move on to learn about package managers, then more advanced things like module bundlers, UI frameworks, and more.
The Paved PaaS to Microservices at Netflix
This video created my fundamental understanding of how to create an effective microservice environment. Netflix was one of the pioneers of microservice development, and there are many learnings that other companies can share from these discussions. The biggest takeaway from this video was the idea of a “paved road” or “guardrails” which enables application developers to focus on delivering business value while there is a platform team that focuses on taking care of the cross-cutting concerns of the technology organization.
And that’s it for this week! Hopefully you found the content helpful and leave a comment what you would like to see and I’ll try to include it in for the next issue.
