The Era Of Cheap Information

Nowadays, you can get any information you need from the internet very easily. You can find almost anything from it, what you want to know and what you need, and most of them are free. Even as if the thing is very impossible for example because it’s very valuable content, require lots of time to working on it. There is always someone doing it and then share it for free.

The best thing is not free

Actually if you have the ability to do some internet searching, and you are not bothered by dealing with something like pirated content, you can always find anything for free. For example there’s tons of premium ebooks, premium video lectures, movies, tv shows, ready to download from pirates website.

The best thing is not free, but if you are kind of internet savvy, you will always find someone willing to share premium content for free for no particular reason, they just love to do it. They bought some non-free content and then they shared it for everyone and you can download. Of course it’s illegal and you shouldn’t support this action, but just for your information that these things exist.

The open source

Open-source is a type of material or usually software in which the content or the source code is released under a license in which the copyright holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and distribute the content or the software to anyone and for any purpose. 

Open source gained popularity because some major companies like Google already release some of their big projects for free on github for example the Android Project. You can know what’s behind android because it’s an open source, you can study or learn the codes, maybe try to create something better out of it.

There’s some open source books too, like you can see in the Project Gutenberg, and some open source pictures for example unsplash, free music, or whatever you need is probably available for free on the internet. 

Actually if you are looking at the trends, some companies or individuals shifting toward open source mechanisms, they are trying to reveal their secret codes for the public. Not just software but some companies or individuals try to release some contents, lessons, or other types of material for free, so everybody can use it.

I personally have a desire to release some free open source projects, or free ebooks or anything I can create, to just show to other people that I also contribute to something to this world, even just small things.

I create this blog, and as you may know, blogs are free to read. I share some technical information for free here, which in the past you can only get from books, private courses or universities lectures.

I am an experiences web developer, have a good problem-solving and deep understanding of software development principles. With comprehensive skill set in Java, PHP, Python, C and JavaScript. Able to do database thing like MySQL and Oracle. Along with expertise in frameworks like Spring, React, and Firebase. Have a solid understanding of software development methodologies, like Agile and Scrum. I applies best practices to ensure the development process is efficient and of the highest quality output.

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil

Usually you will need a pair of SSH username and password to connect to a remote server. But there's also another way to connect to the server via SSH but without password, just using a dot pem (example.pem) file. Here's how we usually do on Windows 1. Let’s SSH login using pem to confirm if it’s throwing error or the pem is fine, if error then we need to move to step 2 to fix it: ssh adam@10.0.0.123  -i server-cert.pem And here's the usual error that will throw if your pem file is not ready for SSH login. You need to follow the next step to make your pem certificate ready to login to your server via SSH. 2. Open Windows Explorer, then right-click on the pem file, then select "Properties". Navigate to the "Security" tab, and click "Advanced" 3. Disable inheritance 4. Delete all permissions, so it doesn’t have any permission 5. Now add you as the only only owner.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database.

Flutter Button With Left Align Text and Icon

flutter button left text Developing a flutter UI is very difficult for a beginner or I think any other technology it’s very intimidating for a starter. I remember my first time trying to make a button in Flutter that had left aligned text in it. I spent a lot of time on how to make it but never made it. Once you are getting familiar with flutter widget or component blocks, you can apply whatever style you want for your app. In html you can just do something like <button style=”text-align:left”>Text</button> but in flutter it is a bit tricky. So here I provide an example on how you can align text inside a flutter button to the left. Flutter button with left align text import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp(MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( title: 'Flutter Demo', theme: ThemeData( primarySwatch: Colors.blue, visualDe
