Java and EC2: the AWS SDK in a few words

Welcome back you guys for this tutorial, and I’m super excited to present you the AWS Java SDK for EC2.

Java is a statically typed language and allows us to take control over insidious bugs that otherwise would be evident only at runtime: leaving you guys no other choice than working for long hours on a friday night, if something goes wrong in that particular day. And if it can… it will!

Full LAMP Docker and AWS Introduction Tutorial

During this short exercise you will learn how to create a simple LAMP example application and deploy it using Docker on the Amazon Web Services ECS platform, with the help of RDS for a MySQL database.

All the following example is based on the AWS CLI, though we could have done faster and easier using the web based console. Instead, having gained a skill with the terminal interface, allows us to better understand how each step and parameter is working. In addition we will be able to create our own automation scripts based on the CLI.

The prerequites for this tutorial are the installation of the AWS CLI and the ECS CLI. If you haven’t them installed on your system, please refer to these links on how to do it: install the AWS CLI and the ECS CLI.

One minute Laravel and Docker Tutorial

In this short lesson we’re gonna focus on two topics we tackled some time ago in this mini series of tutorials: Laravel and Docker.

In the getting started section of the Laravel project’s documentation we can see that a vagrant box named Homestead is strongly adviced to begin with a quick and smooth developing experience.

Homestead is pre-packed with all the stuff necessary to begin the development of a Laravel application, but when it comes to deploying any application, Docker has many strong points that other virtual environments have not. In many cases it is a must: see this article of mine for further details.

Agile made easy, the quick Tutorial

In this quick tutorial we’re gonna leave the more technical topics to land into the Agile world, a methodology that allows us as startuppers to quickly adapt to frequent and unpredictable changes in projects’ requirements.

The Agile movement takes origin in 2001 from the experience of some prominent Software Developers who taught us some principles in Software Development which can make life easier for developers, deliver value to customers, build successful software projects. Among them we find Kent Beck, Martin Fowler, Robert C. Martin, Ward Cunningham, as first signatories.
