Ofer Amitay’s Post

I couldn’t help but wonder… do I know the right tools? Anyone who has known me for a while knows that I love “Sex And The City”.  I’ve re-watched it a million and a half times. And, as I sit and write this newsletter, I am watching the episode in which Stanford goes on an “internet date” with a chat buddy.  You might be wondering what this has to do with today’s newsletter, but you will recognise the irony soon enough when I tell you the name of his online buddy…Big Tool 4 U. insert gasp! And also lots of laughter. I think this episode is so funny. So as I watched the episode, I thought…why not weave my love of SATC into design tools! And for those of you who want to know, it’s Season 2, Episode 12, titled “La Douleur Exquise”. In this edition of "The Saturday Designers Club", I will discuss design tools. More specifically, I will chat a bit more about commonly used tools, the ones I think are good to know and learn as a beginner designer. In this newsletter I want to simply introduce these tools, provide an overview of what they are and why it’s important to learn how to use them. Okay, okay…let’s dig into that toolbox!

We're back! Your hosts of the #2codeOrNot2code live stream, Eva Ditzelmüller and Stefan Pölz, are returning for Season 2024. So let's take a look back at Season 2023: In 23 live episodes, we have learned about #CSharp, #dotnet tools, #Roslyn (the .NET Compiler Platform), unit/integration testing, and build automation. Putting the acquired knowledge into practice, we have published a .NET tool that not only lists and globalizes top-level using directives in your C# projects, but also locates and shows (experimental) Interceptors. We have published the .NET tool on #NuGet: https://lnkd.in/deGBm6JX Please give our .NET tool a try, and let us know if there is anything not to your liking: https://lnkd.in/db5T9d-A As we are about to go live again, we want to take a moment and write a letter of appreciation to our peers: First and foremost, we thank our live audience and everybody watching our videos on demand. You made our show a show. Furthermore, you helped us find bugs and improve our code before we even pushed it. You are our drive when we go live. Additionally, special thanks to our special guests: David Wengier in Episode 04 (Roslyn Workspaces APIs) Thank you, David, for kick-starting our journey with Roslyn and teaching us about Workspaces, Solutions, Projects, Documents, Syntax Trees and the semantics of C# using directives. This know-how lays the foundation of our .NET tool. Matthias Koch in Episode 13 (Build Automation with NUKE) Thank you, Matthias, for assembling reliable, reproducible and testable build/release pipelines for our codebase with the power of nuke.build (https://nuke.build/). Jason Bock in Episode 19 (Experimental C# 12 Interceptors Chapter 1) Thank you, Jason, for sharing your knowledge on Roslyn in general, and the brand new (experimental) Interceptors in particular. Moreover, your "FreeCodeSession"s are a perpetual pool of knowledge and inspiration: https://lnkd.in/dZNQuzMS Stuart Lang in Episode 21 (The sweet Syntax of C# 12) Thank you, Stuart, for telling us all about the latest features of C# 12, which help our codebase reveal its intent more clearly, alongside improving the performance of collection initializations. In our last episode of Season 2023, we reminisced about what we had learned during the previous 22 episodes on day 20 of the C# Advent 2023. Thank you, Matthew Groves and 🚀 Calvin A. Allen, for having us as the first live stream contribution. And finally, we do not forget to thank our community contributor, Gregor Dostal, for helping us upgrade our automated workflows to the .NET 8 SDK and Runtime. All o' y'all have accompanied us on our journey, learned together with us, taught us, and - so we genuinely hope - shared a great time with us. It is you who keeps us going. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love the all of you! Sincerely yours, Eva & Stefan ❤️

The summary of episode #33 includes takeaways from the conversation with Rafael Mestre Borges, where he elaborates on his @ngconf 2024 talk about the importance of understanding @angular's capabilities to efficiently manage the resulting DOM.

Our CRO, Regev Yativ, was recently invited to the Time to Think Podcast hosted by Israel G.. Regev and Israel discussed new trends and developments in global tech, focusing on what drives entrepreneurial success, business, and technological growth. The conversation also touched on emerging opportunities, the importance of efficiency, and the tools and processes that maximize organizations' time and ROI.

Using Your Time Wisely I was wondering, how much time do you spend on each task or anything you do? Maybe you look for something and find it in a day or even a week. So, if you have a problem that needs to be solved, how much time does it take to find a solution? You might not know, but here’s the thing: it’s not just about time; it’s about finding the solution while caring less about the clock. It’s about sharpening your tools to help you find solutions faster. For example, I was looking for an image for my episode. Initially, it took a lot of time, but after I discovered tools to help me find images faster, like taking them myself or using easier websites, it now takes me much less time to do the same task. The same principle applies to everything: finding ways to decrease the time it takes to accomplish tasks. How do you deal with time? How do you manage it? Share with me; I’d love to know! ^^^^^^ [The Story Behind The Change] My story with my mentor, Ali Jawad Episode #46

Let's . . . take it to the whiteboard! ✍ Anytime I have a difficult problem or issue to work through, I like to . . . take it to the whiteboard. Who doesn't love having a blank whiteboard in front of them? Give me a blank whiteboard and I'll go crazy. That's where I do my best thinking and drawing. In this first episode of Take It to the Whiteboard, I define what a "system" is and then discuss the concept of parts and relations within the context of that definition. Enjoy! 👍 Episode 2 is on the way . . .
