Short introduction to CSS moduels in Rails with webpacker

A lot of friends ask me for advice on choosing a good software house. Here you will find my thoughts on the subject:)

Not Invented Here Syndrome is the tendency of organizations to reject suitable existing solutions in favor of internally-developed ones. The result of this is often wasting hours on reinventing the wheel. In many projects, one the first important architectural decision is the API design. Given the gravity of this decision, countless meetings and discussions are held over the topic of what convention and formatting to adopt and almost always there are as many opinions as there are developers. What if there existed a ready-made solution?

Thinking about your startup? Just read it, already!

So far we've been introduced with a couple of preprocessors like Less, SASS, Stylus and a lot of tools and methods for composing, organizing and managing stylesheets for our modern web applications. React, as a powerful JS library of contemporary front-end development also had its own particular need for more capable styling options for its reusable components. So what is the best approach for styling React components? Regarding this matter, there is no acknowledged common approach or best practice yet but you can find couple of ways to do it. 

Each day when we get up we come across dozens or even hundreds of products, services or brands which compete against each other for our attention. When we just open our eyes we are bombarded with company logotypes, colourful and beautiful packages or sophisticated shapes. Very often we even don’t realize how many commercial stimuli come act on us. Think – how many logotypes can you notice just after getting up? A logo on a toothpaste, toothbrush, shower gel, shampoo, hair dryer, t-shirt...and this is only the beginning!

As we're approaching the end of the year 2017, we may think about an upcoming year. Many of us will look back on the current year and think about all the things they wanted to do, but never managed to. Than some of us will label this as "New Year's resolutions" and will plan to fulfil them in 2018. We look at them with hope and determination. Most of them will never be done anyway or will be abandoned shortly, because thinking about a task and writing it down is usually not enough. We encounter similar situation in software development, when we impulsively add a new task to the scope as a #TODO.

Implementing three different solutions to practical programming problem

Few days ago Tobias Pfeiffer came to Visuality and gave a really great talk about clean code. While listening to him I realised, how important it is to us and how it influences our clients. Code quality has always been a big thing in Visuality so its always nice to hear somebody else confirm what we do everyday here:)

Christmas makes us think of friends. And in Visuality friends make us think of our garden, where in warmer months we use to invite them for merry gatherings.
