Hello! I’m sure you’ve encountered a lot of documentation in your life, whether it was for studies or work. Even your mom probably already read documentation on how to change her profile picture on Facebook! But have you ever considered the importance of writing your own documentation? Creating your own documentation can help you retain the information you’re learning. Write it as if you’re explaining to someone else what you’re studying. It’s not an easy task, but this exercise will engage your brain and help you fix the knowledge you’ve acquired. Imagine this: one day, you ask a senior developer about a function in the code you’re working with and they explain how each component works within the code. Now, fast forward a few days, and you need to revisit that part of the code but you have forgotten how it works. Wouldn’t it be better if you had a documentation to support you? Documentation is an important step, you’ll be showcasing how much you know and how much care you put into your code and work. And now, I’d like to share a few tips that I use when I’m writing: Write first and edit later You know when you are studying or coding and you think about everything all at once? Write it down! Don’t worry about whether it’s right or if it makes sense. Just write. Put your thoughts into words. After you finish, give it some time, like 30 minutes or 1 hour, and then come back to it. Read it and see what you can improve. Repeating this will help you to improve your writing skills. Trust me. Pretend you’re explaining it to someone unfamiliar with technology When writing and trying to explain something, imagine that you are talking to someone who doesn’t understand how technology works. This will help you think of the best ways to communicate what you mean, maybe it’ll be through texts only, or maybe it’ll be clearer if you add drawings, images, videos, etc. As technical writers, we need to ensure that everything we write is easy to understand, regardless of the reader’s level of expertise. Keep it organized There are a bunch of tools, like Notion or Obsidian, that can help you stay organized with all the content you are going to produce. They will help you find the information you are looking for in an easier way. Do a bit of research before you start and try different tools at first. You can learn how you can use the tools and the best way to organize your content, like links between contents, tags, folders, and others. Conclusion Good writing doesn’t come easy. It’s an exercise, and every day we all improve a little. But I dare you do it anyway! You’ll find it becomes easier every day and in the future you’ll be thankful for starting it. Now, tell me, do you already write about the things you develop or study? If yes, how do you do it? If not, are you interested? Let me know, and let’s exchange experiences. Thank you for reading and see you soon! Cover

Scenario Amazon RDS Proxy can help busy online stores manage sudden traffic surges during sales events by pooling and sharing database connections. This ensures a smooth shopping experience even during peak times and helps the store recover quickly from any database failures, minimizing downtime and maintaining customer satisfaction. This blog will cover everything we need to know about Amazon RDS Proxy and how to configure it! What is Amazon RDS? How does it work? Benefits of configuring Amazon RDS Proxy Hands-on Conclusion What is Amazon RDS? Amazon RDS stands for Amazon Relational Database Service. It is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. Amazon RDS manages routine database tasks such as provisioning, patching, backup, recovery, and scaling, allowing developers to focus on their applications rather than the administrative aspects of managing a database. How does it work? Amazon RDS Proxy simplifies connection management for Amazon RDS database instances by pooling and sharing database connections, actively handling network traffic between client applications and databases. It optimizes memory and CPU resources, reduces overhead on database servers, and improves application scalability and resilience to database failures Benefits of Configuring RDS Proxy? Improved Database Connection Management Enhanced Scalability Better Fault Tolerance Security Database Caching Hands-on Amazon RDS Database Open the Amazon RDS service in the AWS console, choose Standard Database, and then pick the engine type that you want to use. Additionally, choose free-tier templates. Enter your password in the settings section. Next, pick “Amazon VPC with No Public Access” under “Connectivity” and start a new security group. finally, in additional configuration, provide a database name, make all the settings as default and create the database AWS Secrets Manager Enter your credentials (password and username), choose the “Credentials for Amazon RDS database” secret type, and then pick the recently created database and encryption key. Click Next after entering your name in the Configure Secret field. once more and developed the secret manager. Please copy the Secret ARN and keep it somewhere secure. AWS IAM Role and Policy Make a policy that permits the use of Amazon KMS and AWS Secret Manager. It should also be connected with an IAM role that permits the use of Amazon EC2 and RDS services. Note that the policy is below. Setting up AWS KMS has an optional setting. {"Version": "2012-10-17","Statement": [{"Sid": "GetSecretValue","Action": ["secretsmanager:GetSecretValue"],"Effect": "Allow","Resource": ["AWS-Secret-Manager-ARN"]},{"Sid": "DecryptSecretValue","Action": ["kms:Decrypt"],"Effect": "Allow","Resource": ["AWS-KMS-ARN"],"Condition": {"StringEquals": {"kms:ViaService":

In this brand-new series, we’re featuring different organizations from across DEV! We’re lucky to have a wide range of orgs in our community — companies, non-profits, students & teachers, open-source contributors, and just groups of like-minded friends. If variety is the spice of life, our organizations certainly have plenty of spice! Introducing Feministech For our first-ever featured org, I’m delighted to put the spotlight on Feministech. This feminist community made up of women and nonbinary folks has been on DEV for over 2 years now spreading knowledge and positivity through the posts they share and the way in which they interact with others. Notably, they are repping our #braziliandevs community in a fantastic way with most of their members being from Brazil. All in all, they are just a really great group of folks who we are proud to have in our community. Let’s give it up for Feministech! The Interview A special shoutout to the to the different members of Feministech whom I interviewed: Letícia Pegoraro Garcez (@lelepg), Morganna (@morgannadev), and Pachi (@pachicodes). Y’all rock! And, note that we decided to intermingle the Portuguese translations below. Hope you enjoy the interview! Michael Tharrington: What is the origin story of Feministech? Can you talk about y’all’s primary goals? What are your hopes and plans for Feministech in the future? PT Qual é a história de origem da Feministech? Você pode falar sobre os objetivos principais de vocês? Quais são suas esperanças e planos para a Feministech no futuro? Letícia (@lelepg): Well, Feministech didn’t start as Feministech. In the beginning, we were Live Coders Girls, which was a Twitch team that emerged as a sort of response to a promotional video Twitch made about live coding, featuring only male streamers. For a while, we stayed as Live Coders Girls, but soon there was a need for rebranding because the community had evolved significantly. We no longer had only people who streamed live in the community; we also had people producing other types of content, or people who only consumed content, and we also felt the need to explicitly open the community to transgender women and non-binary people. This rebranding process was somewhat magical because we were able to see the community being reborn and growing before our eyes. I think our key objective is to build a diverse and inclusive community. People from underrepresented groups need to have this kind of space and be able to share their struggles and achievements with others who also share the same struggles and achievements. I think this objective is the big “umbrella” that encompasses Feministech’s other objectives, such as increasing the representation of minorities in the tech world and encouraging people from these minorities to produce content. The future is… complicated to think about. Feministech is a beautiful community that has changed a lot

Hey all you wonderful developers out there! In this post, I am going to take you through creating a simple contact form using semantic HTML and an awesome CSS pseudo class known as :focus-within. The :focus-within class allows for great control over focus and letting your user know this is exactly where they are in the experience. Before we jump in, let’s get to the core of what web accessibility is. Form Accessibility? You have most likely heard the term “accessibility” everywhere or the numeronym, a11y. What does it mean? That is a great question with so many answers. When we look at the physical world, accessibility means things like having sharps containers in your bathrooms at your business, making sure there are ramps for wheel assisted people, and having peripherals like large print keyboards on hand for anyone that needs it. The gamut of accessibility doesn’t stop there, we have digital accessibility that we need to be cognizant of as well, not just for external users, but internal colleagues as well. Color contrast is a low hanging fruit that we should be able to nip in the bud. At our workplaces, making sure that if any employee needs assistive tech like a screen reader, we have that installed and available. There are a lot of things that need to be kept into consideration. This article will focus on web accessibility by keeping the WCAG (web content accessibility guidelines) in mind. MDN (Mozilla Developer Network) The :focus-within CSS pseudo-class matches an element if the element or any of its descendants are focused. In other words, it represents an element that is itself matched by the :focus pseudo-class or has a descendant that is matched by :focus. (This includes descendants in shadow trees.) This pseudo class is really great when you want to emphasize that the user is in fact interacting with the element. You can change the background color of the whole form, for example. Or, if focus is moved into an input, you can make the label bold and larger of an input element when focus is moved into that input. What is happening below in the code snippets and examples is what is making the form accessible. :focus-within is just one way we can use CSS to our advantage. How To Focus Focus, in regards to accessibility and the web experience, is the visual indicator that something is being interacted with on the page, in the UI, or within a component. CSS can tell when an interactive element is focused. “The :focus CSS pseudo-class represents an element (such as a form input) that has received focus. It is generally triggered when the user clicks or taps on an element or selects it with the keyboard’s Tab key.” MDN (Mozilla Developer Network) Always make sure that the focus indicator or the ring around focusable elements maintains the proper color contrast through the experience. Focus is written like this and can be styled to match your branding if you choose to style it. :focus { * / INSERT STYLES HERE

As we bid farewell to the older syntax, let’s embrace the newer, more expressive way of creating objects. Introduction In C# 12, primary constructors play a crucial role in defining the behaviour of classes and structs. By adding parameters to a struct or class declaration, you can create a primary constructor. Use Cases Base Constructor Invocation: Pass primary constructor parameters as arguments to a base constructor invocation. This allows for seamless initialization of base class properties. Member Field Initialization: Primary constructor parameters are often used to initialize member fields or properties. By directly assigning values during construction. Getting Started The struct & constructor declaration before C# 12. Please find below the example of the older syntax. public readonly struct Distance { public readonly double Magnitude { get; } public readonly double Direction { get; } public Distance(double dx, double dy) { Magnitude = Math.Sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy); Direction = Math.Atan2(dy, dx); } } Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Newer Syntax Consider the following example, let’s create a struct namedDistance with two primary constructor parameters: dx and dy. Later we can compute two read-only properties—Magnitude and Direction—based on these parameters: public readonly struct Distance(double dx, double dy) { public readonly double Magnitude { get; } = Math.Sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy); public readonly double Direction { get; } = Math.Atan2(dy, dx); } Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Invoking Base Class Primary Constructors Primary constructors can be leveraged in inheritance hierarchies. When a derived class has its primary constructor, it can invoke the base class’s primary constructor using the base keyword. Example: Bank Account Hierarchy Consider a base class BankAccount with a primary constructor for account number and initial balance: public class BankAccount(int accountNumber, decimal initialBalance) { // Additional initialization specific to SavingsAccount // ... } Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Now, a derived class SavingsAccount can inherit from BankAccount and invoke its primary constructor as shown below public class SavingsAccount(int accountNumber, decimal initialBalance) : BankAccount (accountNumber, initialBalance) { // Additional initialization specific to SavingsAccount // ... } Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Custom Behavior in Derived Classes Derived classes can further customize their behaviour within the constructors. For instance, a CheckingAccount class might inherit from BankAccount but invokes the base constructor using base keyword public class CheckingAccount : BankAccount { public

This approach is not only time-intensive but also susceptible to errors, presenting a notable challenge for developers striving for efficiency and reliability in their applications. What is EdgeStore? EdgeStore is a type-safe Node package that makes it super easy to upload and retrieve files from the cloud. It’s designed to cut down on the setup or configuration time, letting you say goodbye to all that extra boilerplate code you’d normally have to write for cloud file uploads. With EdgeStore, managing cloud files becomes straightforward, freeing you up to focus more on building great features for your app. Using Edgestore in a Next.js project First let’s start by initializing a Next.js project: npx create-next-app@latest # yarn create next-app Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode After you’re done setting up the Next.js project, you’ll be prompted with a few questions, I would suggest going with all the default options, only that we’ll be using Typescript in this article, since edgestore is type-safe, why not utilize that right? Now enter inside your app and install all the dependencies: npm install # yarn Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Now we will install the dependencies required by edgestore: npm install @edgestore/server @edgestore/react zod # yarn add @edgestore/server @edgestore/react zod Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode We will start by creating a new account on edgestore. After you’re successfully signed up, you can head over to your dashboard where you can create a new project. After creating a new project you will have access to a access key and a secret key. Add these keys to your .env.local file: EDGE_STORE_ACCESS_KEY=your-access-key EDGE_STORE_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Next, create a folder named api inside the src/app directory. Now create a new file route.ts inside the src directory at the location src/app/api/edgestore/[...edgestore]: Copy the following into route.ts: import { initEdgeStore } from "@edgestore/server"; import { createEdgeStoreNextHandler } from "@edgestore/server/adapters/next/app"; const es = initEdgeStore.create(); const edgeStoreRouter = es.router({ publicFiles: es.fileBucket({ maxSize: 1024 * 1024 * 10, // 10MB // accept: ["application/pdf"], }), }); const handler = createEdgeStoreNextHandler({ router: edgeStoreRouter, }); export { handler as GET, handler as POST }; export type EdgeStoreRouter = typeof edgeStoreRouter; Enter fullscreen mode

Quick Fact According to WebFX, it takes around 90 seconds for a person to form a judgment about a product or a new environment. Based on the results of their study, it’s thought that 62% – 90% of that initial impression is based on colours. And that’s where CSS comes into play. CSS gives several features that make it simple to specify different text styles, including colour, alignment and spacing. In this post, let’s look at some GitHub repositories that you can use to master CSS. Don’t take me for granted, you really can’t master CSS, or you can; it totally depends on you! A free visual guide to the most popular CSS properties. A useful list of must-watch talks about CSS. A CSS course to turn you into a magician. 8 simple rules for a robust, scalable CSS architecture. Dropbox’s CSS authoring style guide. CSS tricks for web developers A collection of tips to help take your CSS skills pro Final Thoughts While these Github repositories offer some great learnings, it’s worth remembering that true mastery comes not just from reading, but from consistent practice and experimentation with the language.

This is a submission for DEV Challenge v24.03.20, CSS Art: Favorite Snack. Inspiration I think the cover image is more than explicit. I will be drawing a Donut which is the favorite snack of many of you. To draw this snack, I invited a Donut expert to help me get the perfect output and make sure my art is so realistic that you want to eat it but donut eat it! I know, I know. You are excited to see the result, so let’s jump straight to the demo. Demo Ladies and gentlemen here is my CSS Art: A Beautiful Donut Noooooooooooo He was supposed to help me draw a Donut not eat it. I spent a lot of time making a perfect donut but now it’s over… Sorry for this inconvenience, instead of a Donut my entry will be “Homer Simpson ate my Donut”. I was really proud of my Donut… Wait a minute, nothing is lost! I have tried to make a few donuts before he came. Yes, I am saved! Well, they are not as perfect as the one Homer ate but still good ones. Hurry Up and select one before he eats them as well! Journey I wanted something a bit surprising and creative so I hope you liked this plot twist The donut is a single-element implementation and can be easily adjusted to get as many variations as you want. I used an tag to get that “eating” effect on click. Drawing Homer Simpson was more complicated but it was a good opportunity to get back to some CSS Arts so thank you for this challenge!
