Hello, I'm Luis Palacios. I'm a Full Stack Developer that loves finding solutions for problems through software. I'm passionate about code, not just writing code that works but also code that is nice to behold and maintain. I'm committed to this because I've had already written a lot of ugly code on the past that became a nightmare to maintain, that is why the best coding practices are a priority for me now! I want to continue learning, sharing and teaching everything about software development

Frameworks, tools, libraries and other that I have learned and used for software development.
ASP.NET is an open-source server-side web application framework designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. It was developed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services.
Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. Node.js' package ecosystem, npm, is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world.
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. Built by experienced developers, it takes care of much of the hassle of Web development, so you can focus on writing your app without needing to reinvent the wheel. It’s free and open source.
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. As a database server, it is a software product with the primary function of storing and retrieving data as requested by other software applications—which may run either on the same computer or on another computer across a network (including the Internet).
PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active development and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity, and correctness.
MongoDB is a document database with the scalability and flexibility that you want with the querying and indexing that you need
React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes.
AgularJS lets you extend HTML vocabulary for your application. The resulting environment is extraordinarily expressive, readable, and quick to develop.
webpack is a module bundler. Its main purpose is to bundle JavaScript files for usage in a browser, yet it is also capable of transforming, bundling, or packaging just about any resource or asset.
Books in my collection that I highly recommend because of the personal impact they had on myself. You will also find my personal review for them.

Even bad code can function. But if code isn’t clean, it can bring a development organization to its knees. Every year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn’t have to be that way

Steve McConnell
Steve McConnell
Full with leading-edge practices—and hundreds of code samples—illustrating the art and science of software construction.
Capturing the body of knowledge available from research, academia, and everyday commercial practice, McConnell synthesizes the most effective techniques and must-know principles into clear, pragmatic guidance.
No matter what your experience level, development environment, or project size, this book will inform and stimulate your thinking—and help you build the highest quality code

Michael C. Feathers
Michael C. Feathers
The average software project, in our industry, was written under some aspect of code-and-fix, and without automated unit tests. And we can't just throw this code away; it represents a significant effort
debugging and maintaining. It contains many latent requirements decisions. Just as Agile processes are incremental, Agile adoption must be incremental too. No more throwing away code just because it looked at us funny.

Did I mention that I also like to write and share?
Often I have heard from people that refuse to use an ORM that their main reason is: "They have performance issues" which is not entirely true, What do I mean by that? Well The ORM per se does not give you performance issues, while is true they create a bit of an overhead when doing their magic that overhead by itself is not really that big of a deal the real performance issue comes when we use them incorrectly
Web development moves really fast and performance is a priority. Many studies suggest that if your load time is high people will abandon your site not only that but also your search rank is affected so you should pay attention to any performance you can do that will help you bring down that load time. On this tutorial I continue my quest regarding optimization this time using Defer Offscreen Images which actually gave me the best improvement on load time and score.
Web development moves really fast and performance is a priority. Many studies suggest that if your load time is high people will abandon your site not only that but also your search rank is affected so you should pay attention to any performance you can do that will help you bring down that load time. Using next-gen formats for images such as WebP can easily give you a great advantage and especially if your site loads many images
With so many popular development tools that exist today that normally requires a CLI to work, the need for a good console application have become more clear. A console where you can be productive that has a nice look and feel is actually posible not only on UNIX Systems but also on Windows.
Not always you get to live the dream of doing green field development, in fact most of the times you have to deal with old legacy code and in the dotnet in the enterprise world DBAs are scared of code first approach, so instead you use database first.
This series is about getting stronger in Sitecore core concepts and some third party tools that will be helpful in the future such as Unicorn and Glass mapper you can consider this series a possible next step after the Fundamental Course.
