One of my favorite memories of community college was sitting in my professors’ offices admiring their extensive book collections. These tomes of technology were stacked to the ceiling and I was jealous. “Someday, I’ll possess a library to rival these profs. Someday!” I told myself. Well that someday came to pass and eventually I ended up with an extensive collection of books written by legends of the technological world. Yourdon, DeMarco, Brooks, The Gang of Four. I had them all, and over the years, these books have enhanced my coding in numerous ways. Recently I purged my collection and focused on my favorite books with an eye on the ones that are timeless to me. By “timeless” I mean that these are books that I return to again and again…

Sonukapoor@gmail.com linkedin.com/in/sonu-kapoor@sonukapoor1978 Sonu Kapoor has been a software developer since 2003. He’s currently focused on web development using the Angular Framework and is a Microsoft MVP and a GDE in Angular. Sonu has written numerous articles that are available on the internet. Sonu is the author of “Beginning JavaScript Syntax: Understanding Syntactical Rules and Structures for Better JavaScript Programming,” published by Apress in 2025. In Part 1 of this series, I explored the foundations of Angular Signals—the reactive primitives signal(), computed(), and effect()— and how they simplify local state management and change detection. Those concepts form the core of a signal-driven architecture, but production applications require more than just reactive counters or basic state. In this follow-up, you’ll step into real-world scenarios where Signals fundamentally change how you design Angular…

AI is like working with an inept wizard. (Yes, I have a lot of metaphors for this.) When you ask the wizard a question, he responds with the intellect and rapidity of someone who has access to the knowledge of the cosmos. He’s read everything, but he’s a bit dotty. He’s lived his entire life in his lair, consuming his tomes. Despite his vast knowledge, he has no idea what happened in the world yesterday. He doesn’t know what’s in your inbox. Moreover, he knows nothing about your contact list, your company’s proprietary data, or the fact that your cousin’s birthday party got bumped to next Friday. The wizard is a genius. He’s also an idiot savant. Therein lies the paradox. We have designed amazing tools, but they require a…

In this ever-changing era of rapid technological innovations and advancements, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (Al) are revolutionary technologies that have been changing industries by enabling data driven automation, better user experiences, and predictive analytics. ML.NET is Microsoft’s cross-platform, open-source machine learning framework that brings AI and ML to .NET developers. ML.NET lets you build, train, and deploy machine learning models that can help you build high-quality intelligent applications that can cater to the needs of today’s businesses. It enables you to solve complex problems like classification, regression, clustering and recommendation using tools you’ve already used or that you’re aware of as a .NET developer. You can use any of the programming languages supported by .NET and the programming editor you’re familiar with (i.e., Visual Studio) to build intelligent…

Gauravmittal1985@gmail.com Gaurav Mittal is an accomplished author and international speaker, recognized for his published articles. He has spoken at global conferences and served on several judging panels. In addition to his professional achievements, Gaurav actively contributes to non-profit organizations through volunteer work. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his children and playing sports. In modern software development, speed is everything. Teams face constant pressure to deliver features faster while maintaining high quality and security standards. Unfortunately, security often lags behind. Developers typically discover vulnerabilities during pull request reviews, or using tools like CodeQL or SonarQube to flag them later—at a point when fixing them takes more time and costs more. What if developers could catch those issues instantly, right in their local environment, before even submitting a PR?…

This is, in fact, something that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. I’ve been a developer for a few decades now, and as I’ve seen productivity increasing using greater and greater layers of abstraction, none of them scare me as much as artificial intelligence. We are almost turning from developers into psychologists,…
