Software Engineering

all about standards, conventions, ethics, practices

Coding Best Practices - Ways of Working

• Follow coding standards
• Use git
• Write Unit testing - use code to test the small units of programme, test standalone modules.
• Write integration testing - use code to test if modules work correclty when connected together.
• Do funcitonal testing - as a tester, test the functionality of the application.
• Test business outcomes, verify by business people
• Work with people smarter than you
• do pair programming

  • Open Sourcing a Python Project the Right Way

Open Source Contribution

• Why? - It is a great way to grow and evovle, learn, build your skill and be part of community, grow your network, showcase your presence.

Working on someone else's code

• Start a debugger
• Step into and over, understand the variable values, add breakpoints.

Coding Naming Conventions

• Python - Use underscores
• Javascript - Camel Case
• files and folders - use hyphen. Link google style guide

Computer Science

• Thread is the smallest sequence of instructions that can be managed independently. It is common for a process to have multiple active threads, sometimes sharing resources such as memory or file handles. Multithreaded web servers start a pool of threads and select a thread from the pool to handle each incoming request.

• Daemon - In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user.

• Unix Domain Socket or Unix-Socket is endpoint for data communication between processes. Eg, Docket client (process-1) and Docker daemon (process-2) communicate using a REST API over Unix Sockets.

OOPS

• Object is a Class and has
  • attributes - variables
  • methods() - functions
