In case you are curious, a new benchmark appeared. The benchmark is really simple at present, but I think their plans are to increase the complexity over time to show a more real-world use case than something like the TechEmpower benchmarks which are typically optimized for performance.

Email communication is not my favorite but since I can’t avoid it, I am trying to compose messages in a way that I think it makes it easier for both me and the recipient:
- to quickly address what is being communicated
- avoid misunderstandings
- save time
 

There is a lot of buzz around the internet about Vue.js 3.0's announcement about a new composition model. There are a lot of questions about it and I think much of it is 'they moved my cheese' more than 'they're breaking everything'. 

REST and GraphQL are two ways to send data over HTTP. The REST-based approach is the traditional way of doing so and has gained a very high adoption rate in many application stacks in the last years.
GraphQL is often presented as a revolutionary new way to think about APIs.  

I love Entity Framework. I also like (not love) nHibernate. That’s right, as a DBA and data professional, I’m telling you I love Object/Relational Mapping tools (ORM). I think this is a technology set that the DBA needs to more tightly embrace. Let me tell you why. 

In this article I will explain some general purpose queries. I think each developer should have knowledge of these queries. These queries are not related to any specific topic of SQL. But knowledge of such queries can solve some complex tasks and may be used in many scenarios, so I decided to write an article on these queries. 

Your software application is like an iceberg. Your users only see a small fraction of the application, the parts that they interact with. Your application can be a mess under the covers but as long as you have a beautiful, quick interface that's super usable, your uses will think your app is designed really well.

Simple, elegant spark lines for Angular  Demo

Features

• Simple. Integrate in seconds.
• Scalable. Uses SVG for sharp, scalable graphs. Will fill the parent container, or you can provide a fixed size.
• Beautiful. Built-in gradient support, and customizable smoothing.
• Animatable. Support for on-mount animations where the trend graph draws from left to right.
• Tiny. Zero-dependency, gzips to <3kb.

Component architectures are an important part of ever modern front-end framework. In this article, I’m going to dissect Polymer, React, Rio.js, Vue.js, Aurelia and Angular 2 components. The goal is to make the commonalities between each solution obvious. Hopefully, this will convince you that learning one or the other isn’t all that complex, given that everyone has somewhat settled on a component architecture.
