Every day we hear about Big Data, IoT, Smart Data, Machine Learning, semantic data, etc. Many times out of context or simply used because they’re “trendy”.

One of the best examples is “Big Data”, where we always talk about huge amounts of information, systems, platforms, queries, but with the error, from my point of view, of taking that as information, no, no it’s not information, they’re data, raw data or processed data, information is what is extracted from that data. Many times, with the term “Big Data”, we get lost in only the part of storing huge amounts of data, replicated and in astronomical volumes. That’s not “Big Data”, that’s only talking about one part, the most mechanical one, and the one that contributes least to what we’re looking for “Information”, it’s only “data storage and management”, one leg of a much broader table.

As a proof of concept, I’m making a small API in Golang that, on an Apache with mod_proxy, serves certain content to a WordPress site.

One of the recurring conversations in gatherings over a beer is the current trend, by many “developers”, of not really programming to client needs but simply using modules/components/plugins/…

Excessive use of components for very simple needs

This causes the final solution to be nothing more than an amalgamation of elements, many of which were not designed for that function, and others that are really not necessary, that only create the sensation that everything is solved, but as an “AS IS” solution. The kind where you don’t touch them, because we don’t know if something might fail, nor how, nor why.

Theme My Login is a plugin that allows us to adapt all elements related to: Registration, Login, … of a WordPress site to our needs.

Inside the plugin folder, we find the templates in the “templates” folder. As is standard practice, we should not modify these templates directly. We can copy them to the root of our theme and modify them there. From that point on, those templates will be used by our site, without a plugin update affecting the changes made.

In the folder where we want to start the project:

cd /var/www/my-new-project
composer create-project laravel/laravel ./ --prefer-dist

If we need to create a signature capture and processing system in HTML, we can use the library: signature-pad, a good alternative for creating web apps that require signature digitization, using canvas.

In the following article: In the following article, we can see several ways to interact from PHP with node.js, using websockets.

The example uses nginx, which is something to appreciate, as it’s the web server I use for these purposes.

EAN13 codes are composed of 13 digits, where the last one is a check digit.

When developing games for mobile devices, we have multiple cross-platform alternatives:
