I posted for the first time in literally years!

Would be interested in feedback as I do want to get back into creating content one way or another, if it’s going to actually provide value for some people!

Your posting was a legit introduction, I've very curious to see how your series rolls out, I'm very interested to see how this goes...!

Hey everyone! 👋

This week, I made my first open-source contribution! It was a valuable learning experience and a great opportunity to engage with a wider community.

My second technical book, Data Science in .NET with Polyglot Notebooks released this morning on Amazon!

Also, I gave my first official presentation as a Wizard at Leading EDJE, presenting on Technical Debt to a prospective client.

I took a couple weeks break from posting due to work being busy... but I just posted another entry into the Peasy-UI series!!! This one is tied to using Peasy to bind CSS in your projects.

I have at least one more entry into the Peasy-UI series dealing with component based design in the framework, that will be VERY exciting!!!!!

Working on a "toy" VSCode editor clone. Refactored a ton of it this week, including using a single object with handleEvent instead of multiple distinct listeners, and using CSS containment. Also rewrote the custom language-agnostic parser/highlighter using a single long regex with a replacer function instead of splitting the string and testing each chunk against a series of regex. And cut one extra loop by building indentation-based collapsible chunk info while moving forward by checking backwards, which alone took at least two days because I had to better understand how it checks forward first despite already having that written weeks ago. Reduced total parse and render time to ~8-20ms on my slightly-older all-in-one PC (6 core @ 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM).

Not looking forward to managing editing while there's collapsed chunks, but I had that partially functional before the rebuild, so there's at least some groundwork.

Good. Come in future to inform evolution of project. I will like to be aware.

I entered the World Photography Day 2024 Contest on Flickr. This is my first, since I started my photography learning earlier this year. Here are my photo entries.
