What is serverless?

Overview Serverless is a cloud-native development model that allows developers to build and run applications without having to manage servers. There are still servers in serverless, but they are abstracted away from app development. A cloud provider handles the routine work of provisioning, maintaining, and scaling the server infrastructure. Developers can simply package their code in containers for deployment. Once deployed, serverless apps respond to demand and automatically scale up and down as needed. Serverless offerings from public cloud providers are usually metered on-demand through an event-driven execution model. As a result, when a serverless function is sitting idle, it doesn’t cost anything. An overview of serverless architecture Serverless differs from other cloud computing models in […]

MVVM Architecture in iOS

Whenever we start building a new application, this question always comes in our mind, which architecture pattern to choose for our new project. The most used architectural pattern in iOS is MVC. Most of the developers used the MVC pattern for their projects. Small projects work well with MVC, but when your project size starts increases, it starts making your source code messy. I always found the architecture pattern is good to use, but we should not strictly follow an architecture pattern in our project. Not every architecture pattern is good enough to give you everything, there are cons & […]

Symbian Operating System

Symbian OS is an operating system designed for mobile devices. Symbian was the leading smartphone platform up from 2003 up until 2010 (even 2011 for Europe). After that Google’s Android OS took the lead. The core Symbian OS originally provided no user interface. Instead, it was used as the underlying base for two major smartphone UI platforms: S60 and UIQ. These can be regarded as development branches, each backed by different companies. Unlike Android OS with its different cosmetic UIs, Symbian UIs ran deeper in the code and apps written for one of these platforms were not compatible with the […]

FireSQL – Query Firestore Using SQL Syntax

What is FireSQL? FireSQL is a library built on top of the official Firebase SDK that allows you to query Cloud Firestore using SQL syntax. It’s smart enough to issue the minimum amount of queries necessary to the Firestore servers in order to get the data that you request. On top of that, it offers some of the handy utilities that you’re used to when using SQL, so that it can provide a better querying experience beyond what’s offered by the native querying methods. Installation : Just add firesql and firebase to your project: If you want to receive real-time updates when querying, then […]

What Is an IDE? How Does It Enable Faster Development?

What Is an IDE? An IDE (which stands for Integrated Development Environment) is a software application that allows developers to write, debug and test code for multiple programming languages. An IDE is an application that helps to facilitate software development. It offers a code editor, compiler, and debugger in one application, making programming easier. In addition, many IDEs also include features like syntax highlighting and code completion. IDEs are popular among developers because they make coding faster and easier. By merging many different tasks into a single application, an IDE can help you be more productive and write better code. […]
