It has been almost a month since the last blog post. School requires a lot of my time so I haven’t been playing around starting from December 20. Now that I finished all of my school projects (and I’m getting ready for the exams season) I think it is better to write a blog post about what I’ve been doing lately.

For the last 2-3 weeks I’ve been working with Node.js and Java. The projects are still work-in-progress, but I feel obliged to write the blog post and describe what I’ve been working on.

This week I went back to one of the frameworks I like in the hybrid app development “field”, the Ionic Framework, and built a logo game using it"

Instead of building another application this week, I picked 7 interesting questions over time and I intend to answer them as good as I can.

As a challenge, I built a client-server application that allows multiple clients to communicate with each others using java Threads and Sockets

I added a simple authorization mechanism to my last week’s project using API keys, so not everyone could have access to everything.

I gave a try to Sails.js, an MVC framework built upon Express.js and socket.io that resembles the MVC behavior of frameworks like Ruby on Rails

This week on my 52 weeks, 52 projects challenge I tried provisioning a virtual server using Ruby and Chef Solo.

On the second week of my “52 weeks, 52 projects” challenge, I went back to re-learning my favorite JavaScript framework, AngularJS.

More or less one week ago, I announced my 52 weeks, 52 projects challenge. In the first week, I tried native Android development in a language called Kotlin. If you have seen what Apple is doing with Swift, JetBrains (the team behind IntelliJ and Kotlin) is doing the same thing for Android developers: giving developers a simpler way of developing applications. Kotlin is a statically typed programming language, targeting JVM and Android, and can also be used for front-end web development.
