Google Slides is a great web-based, free platform for creating presentations (and collaborating as you do so). There are plenty of pre-made default templates available, but they can only so so far -- many are quite simple, and lack polished aesthetics. If you’re wanting to take your Google Slides presentation to the next level, today’s […]

A lot of the work we do with Javascript involves us sending information back and forth from servers. You are probably familiar with the concept of APIs, which send data to servers or websites in a particular format, to get a specific response back. These are known as REST APIs. Although useful, they are not very good at constant streams of data. If you try to do something real-time with REST APIs, you're going to have a bad time. Fortunately, if we want a real-time connection with a user, we have an alternative, known as Websockets.

Ben Sampson has a tutorial posted to his site for the Laravel users out there sharing some tips about speeding up your database queries when using relationships between models. Adding indexes to your database tables is a great way to get some extra performance out of your application, especially if you have a large amount of data in your tables. They should be used sparingly and only on identified slow queries, as they have implications of their own such as increased table size and increased RAM usage. But those potential drawbacks are well worth it when you can get a query down from a 3 seconds 15 milliseconds with 5 minutes of work. The effects are particularly noticeable on polymorphic / many to many polymorphic relationships. He then includes the code required to create the indexes on your tables (either a single column or a compound index involving more than one column) in your migrations. He also provides code examples showing how to use foreign keys to improve one-to-one/one-to-many relationships. More examples include optimizations for many-to-many relationships and polymorphic relationships.

Augmented Reality (AR) can be regarded as one of the most exciting tech that has made its way into the mass market in recent years. Unlike virtual reality that creates an artificial world with the help of visual & virtual elements, augmented reality overlays virtual objects over the real world. Thus makes it more interactive and real. Because of its high utilitarian benefits, augmented reality is being widely used by different industries, covering ecommerce, entertainment, healthcare, retail and marketing, education, fashion, travel and tourism and many others. Imagine trying out different lipsticks, mascara, powder, as well as other makeup products … Continue reading →Visit us at InstantShift.com

Fintech is a continually growing industry. The vast gap between what consumers can currently do and what they can do is one of the main reasons why the industry is growing rapidly.

In a new post to his site Tomas Votruba comes back to a topic he posted about previously - the collector pattern - and provides a simpler, more introductory look at the pattern and what it's useful for. I wrote Why is Collector Pattern so Awesome a while ago, but I got feeling and feedback that it's way too complicated. The pattern itself is simple but put in framework context, it might be too confusing to understand. That's why we look on collector pattern in minimalistic plain PHP way today. He uses a calculator example help explain the use of the pattern, starting with a simple class that calculates the price of a product + VAT. He then shows a few examples of how it could grow over time as business requirements change. He refactors the class to make it easier to add in these one-off changes by setting them all as "calculators' in a calculator collection. He provides the code examples for this refactor and an example of it in use.

In public speaking, three points in sequence are crafted to drive home a point. In photography and art, the rule of thirds helps you visualize the […]
