MuleSoft Associate Certification: Essential Tips and Key Concepts
Tags: architecture, api, tooling, productivity
Published: 2024-05-30 22:45:27

I was a little stressed, do you know why? Because I forgot the date of the exam. Fortunately, I had a small reminder from my agenda 30 minutes before the exam. I tried my best to quickly review the documentation I wrote when I was preparing for the exam.

Make sure to have a good internet connection, and it might be helpful to restart your laptop. This will close all running programs that could potentially interrupt the browser required for taking the exam, which you will need to download before starting.

The first thing you should know is that the associate certification tests your knowledge of Enterprise Integration concepts. You need to understand why we use MuleSoft, not just how to implement a listener and an object store. These technical details are important but not sufficient for the associate exam.

It's also about your knowledge of cloud solutions. Having a good understanding of the differences between SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, and knowing when to use them, will be beneficial. I can say that I had two or three questions about cloud solutions, including CloudHub and PCE. You should understand the differences, as well as the why and when of using these solutions.

Before starting the exam, make sure you are familiar with the structure of a YAML file. You might have a question about that, as well as about JSON and XML. Additionally, review communication protocols such as gRPC, REST, and SOAP. There will be questions on these topics as well.

Understanding systems such as Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Content Management Systems (CMS) is crucial. You should know the purpose of each system and read some scenarios of their use to have a solid understanding of the differences between them.

Knowledge of project management methodologies is essential. You should understand what Kanban, Waterfall, Agile, and Scrum are. These concepts might seem irrelevant for a MuleSoft certification, but they are not. You will get at least one question about these concepts, so don't forget to review them.

A thorough understanding of Integration Patterns, such as Consolidation, Orchestration, Aggregation, and Choreography, are unavoidable. A good understanding of these concepts is required because the exam focuses heavily on them. My advice is to thoroughly read about each one and try to implement them, which will give you a solid understanding of these patterns.

Finally, ensure you know the components of the Anypoint Platform including Anypoint Exchange, Anypoint Runtime Plane, Anypoint Control Plane, Anypoint Runtime Manager, Anypoint API Manager, Anypoint Design Center, and Anypoint API Designer...Knowing the use of each component will help you answer at least three or four questions in the exam.
Database Design
Published: 2024-05-30 21:59:57

Today we focused on database design, specifically exploring the concepts that drive relational databases.

## What's a relational database?
It's a collection of tables storing different data pieces that refer to one another to form a complete picture of something. By referencing other tables, we can stick to one value per field design principles while adding organized complexity to our entries.

### What?
Today, we used a film database as an example. This database had tables for films, actors, and directors. 

You can't just include a list of every actor in a movie in the films table, so you need a way to keep track of each film's cast. This is where a one-to-many join table comes into play. 

You can create a table where each record is a film ID, an actor's ID, and the name of the role they played. A query to this table can then return each actor ID matched with a single film's ID and provide a comprehensive list of every actor in that film.

This way, you can keep track of the dozens of actors that make up a film's cast without bogging down every table.

## Conclusion
This form of database design applies to SQL, it's been a while since I've studied SQL, so it was nice to get a refresher.
Exploring Orthodontics Braces
Published: 2024-05-30 21:59:36

Hey everyone,

Let's dive into the fascinating world of [orthodontics braces types](https://www.celebratedental.com/)! As someone who's recently been exploring options for straightening teeth, I thought I'd share some insights and gather opinions on the various types of braces out there.

First off, it's essential to understand that not all braces are created equal. From traditional metal braces to newer, more discreet options, there's a wide range to choose from depending on your preferences and needs.

Traditional Metal Braces: These are the ones most of us are familiar with. They consist of metal brackets attached to each tooth, connected by wires that are periodically tightened by your orthodontist. While they may be the most noticeable option, they're also typically the most affordable.

Ceramic Braces: For those concerned about the aesthetics of metal braces, ceramic braces are a popular alternative. They work similarly to traditional braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in more seamlessly with your teeth.

Lingual Braces: If you're looking for ultimate discretion, lingual braces might be the way to go. These braces are placed on the backside of your teeth, making them virtually invisible from the front. They're custom-made to fit the contours of your teeth, offering a comfortable and discreet straightening solution.

Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign): Perhaps the most modern option available, clear aligners have gained popularity for their convenience and aesthetics. These custom-made trays gradually shift your teeth into place, and they're removable, making eating and oral hygiene a breeze.

Self-Ligating Braces: These braces use a specialized clip system to hold the wire in place, eliminating the need for elastic bands. They're said to move teeth more efficiently and require fewer adjustments compared to traditional braces.

Each type of braces comes with its pros and cons, and the best option for you will depend on factors such as your budget, treatment goals, and personal preferences. It's crucial to consult with an orthodontist to determine the most suitable option for your specific case.

For those of you who have undergone orthodontic treatment or are currently considering it, I'd love to hear about your experiences and insights. Which type of braces did you choose, and what factors influenced your decision? Feel free to share your thoughts on the different types of braces and any tips you have for those embarking on their orthodontic journey.

Let's celebrate the diversity of orthodontic braces types and empower each other with knowledge and experiences!

Looking forward to the discussion.

Defer Statements in Go: A Short Crash Course
Tags: go
Published: 2024-05-30 20:31:34

## What is the defer statement?

In Go, a `defer` statement gives you the ability to execute a function **AFTER** its containing function has finished execution. 

The easiest way to think about it is a callback, or a finally block for developers more familiar with Java. 

You will commonly see defer statements being used to clean up resources, such as files and database connections. 

## defer Statement Syntax

```
func main() {
  myFile, err := os.Open("my-file.txt")
  defer myFile.close()
  
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
}

```

The above is an example of using `defer` to clean up resources, in this case, closing a file after we are done with it. The `defer` statement will not execute until after our `main` method has finished its execution. 

Using defer directly after opening a resource that needs to be manually closed or handled (like files!) is a best practice. This way you know for sure there be no left over resources and you won't forget to manually close it later on in the code.

I like to keep such defer statements as close as possible, ideally right under, the line that opens the resources.

## Using Multiple Defer statements

`defer` statements are placed on a stack. Meaning the last defined statement will be the first to be executed. This is something I had to learn the hard way after facing a particularly confusing bug!


Consider the following code:

```
import "fmt"

func main() {
	defer deferredPrint("0")
	defer deferredPrint("1")
	defer deferredPrint("2")
}

func deferredPrint(s string) {
	fmt.Printf("%s\n", s)
}
```

What might its output be?

Since `defer` statements are placed in a call stack (LIFO) the output is the following:
```
2
1
0
```

Notice that the last defined `defer` statement is executed first!

Ruby Sinatra Bootstrap view accordion
Tags: ruby, bootstrap, webdev, css
Published: 2024-05-30 21:51:17

Below is my code where I had used bootstrap syntax to display info in a accordion using an api call the structure of depending on if there was the data available. Sometimes when I called the data the definitions didn't have an example ready to use so I had to account that in my work. When working in a loop the accordion doesn't work properly if the accordion div id wasn't unique. if you don't have unique identifiers available, consider making a counter whenever you move on to the next value so that it lets the accordion act independently from each other.
```ruby
<% count = 0 %>
  <% @data['collection'].each do |col| %>
    <h3><%=col['title']%></h3>
    <% col['definitions'].each do |deF| %>
      <%count = count + 1%>
      <%if deF.has_key?('example')%>
        <div class="accordion" id="accordion<%=count%>">
          <div class="accordion-item">
            <h2 class="accordion-header" id="headingOne">
              <button class="accordion-button" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse<%=count%>" aria-expanded="true" aria-controls="collapseOne">
                <%= "#{count}. #{deF['definition']}" %>
              </button>
            </h2>
            <div id="collapse<%=count%>" class="accordion-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="headingOne" data-bs-parent="#accordion<%=count%>">
              <div class="accordion-body">
                <p><strong>Example:</strong> <%=deF['example']%></p>
              </div>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      <%else%>
        <h5><%= "#{count}. #{deF['definition']}" %></h5>

Quick overview of reactivity in Vue3
Published: 2024-05-30 21:48:16



In my opinion, one of Vue’s most powerful features is its reactivity system. Reactivity allows the framework to automatically update the UI when the information behind it changes. By default, Javascript is not naturally reactive, if nobody tells it, it won’t know that the state changed.

In Vue3 with the Composition API it is common to use ref() and reactive() to add reactivity to a variable/object. Under the hood, Vue converts the data into a proxy object, which enables Vue to perform dependency tracking and change-notification when properties are accessed or modified. In-depth blog about reactivity here: https://blog.logrocket.com/your-guide-to-reactivity-in-vue-js/ 

The most common ways in Vue Composition API to achieve reactive states are by using reactive() or ref().

**reactive()**

This function only works with objects, and it does not work with primitives. The returned value from reactive() is a Proxy of the original object. When implementing reactive() we can avoid using the ‘.value’ to retrieve the properties of the object, in contrast with the ref() function where we have to use ‘.value’. To access a property we can do so by using ‘object.key’ notation. 

The question is, however, if losing ‘.value’ is a benefit or not. I have seen many opinions that losing ‘.value’ can make it harder to track which line of code is triggering a reactive effect. This issue is not so noticeable with small projects, but it can become much more difficult to track reactive objects in a large project. In fact, Vue dropped the reactivity transform feature which got rid of the ‘.value’ when using ref() mainly for this reason.

In addition to this, reactive has a few limitations such as limited value types (only works with objects), can’t replace entire reactive objects because the reactivity connection to the first reference would get lost, and is not destructure-friendly because, again, reactivity connection would get lost.

Because of these limitations, Vue currently recommends using ref as the primary API to declare a reactive state. 

**ref()**

Ref works with any data type, including objects. To create a reactive value for primitives (boolean, string, number, etc) we can only use ref(). Whenever we want to access the current value of the reactive property we have to use ‘(name of the value/object).value’. You do not need to append the ‘.value’ when using the ref in the HTML template. With ref, if you are passing it an object you can completely replace it with another one, this is not possible with reactive.


Hopefully, with this quick overview you've gained a bit more clarity about the differences of the two.
End of Phase 2: My Journey with React
Tags: react, css, webdev, beginners
Published: 2024-05-30 21:47:02


After three intense weeks, "Phase 2" has come to an end. This phase was all about diving into the basics of React and using its enhanced functionality to create web applications more efficiently.

Week 1: Overwhelmed but Determined
As you might know, our bootcamp splits each phase into three weeks. Coming into "Phase 2" felt different from "Phase 1" because I knew the drill—yet, I still found myself overwhelmed in the first week.

Week 1 was a whirlwind of information. I tried to keep up with Canvas lectures and videos while soaking in a ton of knowledge during in-person lectures. By the end of the week, I felt like I had more gaps in my understanding than a slice of Swiss cheese. I knew I had to catch up and fill in those holes.

Week 2: Finding My Groove
Heading into Week 2, I realized I needed a solid plan to digest all the info from Week 1. Unfortunately, I'm the type who needs to understand every core concept before moving on to more complex ideas. So, I decided to slow down, focus on my strengths, and learn at my own pace.

Every day, I isolated myself, diving deep into Canvas lectures, videos, and extensive note-taking. Yes, I was a week behind, but I was determined to catch up. It was time for some hardcore studying—bootcamp style.

Week 3: Gaining Clarity and Confidence
By Week 3, my method was finally paying off. Concepts started to click, and I felt more confident each day. Even though I wasn’t done with all the Canvas lectures, I knew I had a good grasp of the material.

We had an oral assessment coming up to test our understanding. Thanks to my tireless study sessions, I felt prepared and aced the assessment. With just one day left to work on my project (yes, we were supposed to have a whole week), I pulled an all-nighter to get everything done and make my webpage look sleek and functional enough to get the MVP deliverables done.

Looking Ahead
For the next phase, I know I need to start studying at my own pace from day one. It's unrealistic to master every complex subject in just three weeks, but consistent effort and practice will get me there. Coding, to me, is like a game—a mix of puzzles and creativity. Just like chess and Jiu-Jitsu, it's all about practice and continual learning once you get the basics down.

WHERE AND HOW CAN I HIRE A HACKER ONLINE? GRAYHATHACKS CONTRACTOR
Tags: hackathon, webdev, hirehacker
Published: 2024-05-30 21:40:39

I found myself in a difficult situation when I reached out to Grayhathacks. My ex-boyfriend had posted incredibly embarrassing pictures of me on his social media accounts, and I was desperate to have them removed. Despite my attempts to reason with him, he was uncooperative and refused to comply. That's when I made the decision to give Grayhathacks a chance.

The process of hiring their services was remarkably smooth and efficient. I was amazed at how simple it was to hire a hacker online. The only challenge I faced was ensuring I selected the right hacker for the job and how I could verify their legitimacy. Fortunately, my older brother had previously utilized Grayhathacks' services and had a positive experience. I reached out to them via email, detailing my issue, and received a prompt response from one of their team members. From that moment on, I felt confident that I was on the path to resolving my problem. The team at Grayhathacks was professional, empathetic, and guided me through each step of the process.

Their first course of action was to conduct a thorough investigation of my ex-boyfriend's social media accounts and the origin of the pictures. They then informed me that they required some time to gather the necessary information and devise a plan of action. Throughout this period, they kept me informed of their progress through both email and WhatsApp.

Once they had gathered all the necessary information, they presented their proposed method to me. It involved a strategic blend of social engineering, phishing, and, as a last resort, a potential DoS attack. Initially, I was hesitant, but Grayhathacks reassured me of their expertise and resources to handle the situation delicately, ensuring no harm would come to my ex-boyfriend's accounts. My sole desire was to erase all traces of my photos from his accounts and backups, freeing myself from any potential blackmail.

The plan was executed flawlessly. Grayhathacks maintained constant communication, updating me at every turn. Within a matter of days, my ex-boyfriend's social media accounts were rid of the incriminating photos. They even provided me with screenshots as evidence of their success. To ensure thoroughness, they continued to monitor his accounts to prevent any unexpected surprises. Their efficiency and professionalism left me in awe, and I am immensely grateful for their assistance.

For all your hacking needs, Grayhathacks is the ultimate solution. Contact them via email at grayhathacks@contractor.net or reach out on WhatsApp at +1 (843) 368-3015. Trust in their expertise to handle your situation with precision and discretion.
