certification pressure eh?

As you may have guessed , I work in a software development company that is a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner. I have been into this kind of work since 2004 but because of the accessibility of opportunity to take certification exams and aside from the fact that my previous salary may not allow me to take the risk of paying much for an exam, i was not able to take any. It is however one of the goals that i want to achieve and now that im closer to it im excited but not pushing it . Just this morning our senior system architect asked if i am already an MCP ( Microsoft Certified Professional ) which i honestly denied. It turns out that our boss in the US have been asking if me and one of the senior engineers in the team has passed an MS certification exam. Jokingly he said that if we dont get one by the end of the year we could start putting a tattoo of a chicken in our body. Its a joke but its half meant and im in the process of considering taking the exam but definitely not this year. So i guess ill have a hands full for reviewing but ill still be blogging anyway......

Back in 2008, Microsoft (MS) introduced new technologies along with the release of Visual Studio 2008: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), and  Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). Having worked in a company utilizing mostly MS products for development, my first option was to go with WF. After doing some time reading and studying the library, I paused and decided it was too complex for my requirement. Using WF would be an overkill and the fact that it has, a rather, steep learning curve, there has to be another option. My mind toyed with the idea of developing a simple workflow library myself. It would be a learning experience but it might end up consuming a lot of time. Why reinvent the wheel? So I started querying the ...

Hiding Unwanted Python Folders and Files in Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a universal editor and pretty good at it. However, the explorer view maybe cluttered with the automatically generated folders and files confusing developers. Python is no different. Below are example files and folders generated by Python. The __pycache__ folder and *.pyc files  are totally unnecessary to the developer. To hide these files from the explorer view, we need to edit the settings.json for VSCode. Add the folder and the files as shown below: Copy and paste the lines below : "**/*.pyc" : { "when" : "$(basename).py" }, "**/__pycache__" : true

With the advent of social media, the incidents has increased in numbers and the victims does not even know what is hitting them. For the past years, we have heard of  depressions and deaths because of this. Yet, there has never been a strong drive to increase public awareness and promote support groups to help victims outside of the schools.  Campaigns and programs has never gained mainstream presence enough to make an impact.
