Checking Internet Status in Basic4Android
Tags: basic4android, android, beginners, tutorial
Published: 2023-07-29 15:01:06

Basic4Android lets you use WebView to load URLs in your application, but if your phone isn’t connected to the internet when the program runs, an error message will show up in the WebView itself, which doesn’t look nice…

By using this piece of code, you can check if the user’s phone is connected to the internet or not. Depending on the information you get, you can either hide the WebView or display an error message. Of course, this code can have other applications as well, but in this post and video (which will be released soon), I’m using it for this purpose.

Required libraries:

```
Network
```

First you need to define a ServerSocket variable in Process_Globals:

```
Sub Process_Globals

    Dim server As ServerSocket

End Sub
```

Then, check the phone’s IP address using the following Sub:

```
Sub GetIp As Boolean

    server.Initialize(0,"")
    
    If server.GetMyIP = "127.0.0.1" Then
      Return False
    Else
      Return True
    End If

End Sub
```

As you know, if we’re not connected to the internet, the default IP address of the device is 127.0.0.1. The If condition checks this IP and returns False if the phone’s IP matches 127.0.0.1 and if the IP address is not 127.0.0.1 (meaning we are connected to the internet), it returns True.

By the way, the number 0 in `server.Initialize(0,"")` represents the port number. 😅 ([More Info…](https://www.b4x.com/android/help/network.html))

Last but not least, you can use the True or False value to check if the internet connection is working:

```
If GetIp=True Then
  ToastMessageShow("Internet connection is established.", False)
Else
  ToastMessageShow("No internet connection!", False)
End If
```

That’s all!

**Thank you for Reading. 😃**
Demystifying AWS API Gateway Part01
Tags: aws, apigateway, serverless
Published: 2023-07-29 14:49:25

In this series of blog posts, I will cover API gateway in general and particularly AWS API gateway, what it is, how we can use it to the full extent and what are some best practices we can follow while doing so. Before going into the details let's first discuss what is API Gateway.

### What is API Gateway in general?  

In recent times, microservices have gained a lot of popularity with that the use of API gateway, what is it, why do we need it, and why can't we hit the microservices directly? I am assuming that you know the basics about microservices architecture and monolith architecture, if not [here](https://aws.amazon.com/compare/the-difference-between-monolithic-and-microservices-architecture/) is a good place to know more about them.

so what is an API gateway, this is nothing but a reverse proxy that sits between your microservices or your backend services, it acts like a single point of entry to your backend services, and it offers a lot of functionalities


![API Gateway in action](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/f6u1mpl3o38oqwigbppb.png)

* **Single Entry Point:** It acts as a single point of entry to the client applications, rather than clients dealing with multiple backend or microservices they can just hit the API gateway which in turn will route the client request to the appropriate microservice.
    
* **Request Routing:** Based on the route URL, headers and other things API gateway will route the client requests to the correct microservice, it will also act as a load balancer.
    
* **Security and Authentication:** It can act as a security layer, it is capable to validate the access token by which it can handle authorization and authentication, by this it will handle invalid or unauthorized access to the backend services.
    
* **Rate Limiting and Throttling:** It can also help implement rate limiting on certain resources, which in turn avoids the** DDoS **attacks or it can avoid overloading of the system by which we can make sure that the system is more stable.
    
* **Caching:** It can also act as a cache, where it will cache the redundant calls to microservices and serves the response without actually making the call to the microservice, which will improve the latency and performance of the application.
    
* **Logging and Monitoring:** It can also log incoming requests and responses so that we will have a better understanding of the system behavior, this will help in troubleshooting or future enhancements
    
* **Version Management:** When introducing changes to microservices, version management can be challenging. The API Gateway can handle versioning and ensure that clients interact with the correct version of the API.
    

I hope you got a good basic understanding of what API gateway is and how it can be useful, in upcoming posts in this series I will cover how we can achieve all these functionalities using the **AWS API gateway**.

Defer JavaScript for Faster Load Time
Tags: webdev, javascript
Published: 2023-07-29 14:28:26

When it comes to JavaScript speed optimization, there is one technique every developers should know and embrace: `Defer JavaScript`.

## Table Of Contents
   
1. [The behavior of a website](#the-behavior-of-a-website)
2. [Why bother defer JavaScript](#why-bother-defer-javascript)
3. [Async vs Defer](#async-vs-defer)
4. [Summary](#summary)

## The behavior of a website

Imaging having an HTML file import 2 scripts: `small.js` and `big.js` with difference load times.

```html
<head>
  <script src="big.js"></script> <!-- Load time: 500ms -->

  <script src="small.js"></script> <!-- Load time: 100ms -->
</head>
<body>
  <p>...content...</p>
</body>
```

During page load, a “white screen” might briefly appear before the full page is visible.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/4jl4hbbqqdkd1s4ypmat.png)


## Why bother defer JavaScript

Due to it's nature, the browser will stop rendering the page while loading and executing scripts.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/7zffs6g8aop76z4emhwv.png)

As the result, the page content remains hidden until both `small.js` and `big.js` are fully downloaded and run.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/qn0aj4hgqqfcw63ctgap.png)

The "white-screen" is nearly invisible for users with fast internet connections. However, for those like me with slower speeds, it result in a significant delay before the entire page becomes visible.

Luckily, `Defer JavaScript` comes to the rescue help us pushing all the script to the bottom of the loading process using `defer` and `async`.


## Async vs Defer

#### Async

Async will move the download of your script into the background and execute the script as soon as the download is finished.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/qbz0q9ovfzrrrtnp6g47.png)

Each `async` script operates independently, they don't wait for each other. Whatever loads first - run first:

```html
<head>
  <!-- loads first / runs second -->
  <script async src="big.js"></script>

  <!-- loads second / runs first -->
  <script async src="small.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <p>...content...</p>
</body>
```


#### Defer

Defer will move the download of your script into the background and execute the script as soon as the site finished parsing.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/t1amf1zr21nzdo7k03zo.png)

It will also respect the execution order of your scripts.

```html
<head>
  <!-- loads first / runs first -->
  <script defer src="big.js"></script>
  
 <!-- loads second / runs second -->
  <script defer src="small.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <!-- visible immediately -->
  <p>...content...</p>
</body>
```


##Summary

`async` and `defer` both load JavaScript asynchronously without render blocking but with difference in behavior.
Day 3
Published: 2023-07-03 13:14:24

Today was a very anxious day.
I had an interview for a Node.js intern position. It was round 1 of the interview and it was a group discussion with some of the other shortlisted candidates on some topics provided by the host.
So now, my problem, I GET TOOOOOOOO ANXIOUS. I had not been feeling hungry from the morning itself, P.S. just because I got the email late at night, after dinner, else wouldn't have had dinner also. :")
Anyway, I stop feeling hungry, start feeling like going to the bathroom again and again and nervous.
I even messed up my intro by not mentioning my OSS contributions, because I was just too nervous to remember it!
Anyway, coming to my daily dose of DSA. I did the following questions today:

**PROBLEM 1:** 2-Sum: Solved it optimally. Had solved earlier also.

**PROBLEM 2:** 4-Sum: Solved it optimally.

**PROBLEM 3:** Longest Consecutive Sequence: Solved it. Easy question

**PROBLEM 4:** Largest number of subarray with k-sum:
**PROBLEM 5:** Largest number of subarray with k-xor: Now both these problems. I have O(n^3) solution. I was able to take it down to O(n^2) on my own. But I wasn't able to figure out the O(N) approach. I did have an idea about the xor one. But missed one case, where curXor == a[i].
But I understood both of them. Marked for revisit.

**PROBLEM 6:** Longest Unique character Substring: Was able to solve optimally.
One thing to note and carry forward from this question is that, we have always use hash maps in O(1) time and O(1) space for string related questions, cause there would be at-most all the characters, which is constant. ( 126 I think )
Understanding the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)
Tags: web3, ethereum, blockchain, javascript
Published: 2023-07-29 14:12:51

The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a critical component of the Ethereum blockchain. It allows anyone to run smart contract code on Ethereum after it's compiled into bytecode. Let's examine how the EVM works and why it's important.

## What is the EVM?

The EVM is a distributed virtual machine that executes bytecode on the Ethereum network. It operates as a runtime environment for smart contracts in Ethereum. Instead of installing smart contract code on each user's computer, it is installed on the blockchain and run by each node connected to the network.

The EVM enables developers to create and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) that leverage the benefits of blockchain technology like security, trustlessness and integrity.

## How the EVM Executes Smart Contracts

When a smart contract is deployed on Ethereum, it is uploaded as bytecode and distributed across nodes on the network. To run the smart contract, transactions are sent to the EVM which triggers execution of the contract bytecode.

The EVM ensures deterministic execution by running every transaction in sequence and requiring consensus from nodes on the resulting state change. A gas system pays execution fees and prevents infinite loops or other computational wastage.

## Key Benefits of the EVM

**Trustless Execution** - The EVM enables transparent execution in a decentralized environment since every node verifies contract execution. This removes the need for a trusted third party.

**Turing Completeness** - The EVM is Turing complete, meaning it can compute anything computable given sufficient memory. This expands the potential functionality of smart contracts.

**Programmability** - Smart contracts are written in high-level languages like Solidity and compiled to bytecode that the EVM can understand. This allows developers to program complex contracts using familiar languages.

**Established Platform** - As the first smart contract platform, Ethereum and the EVM have the largest developer community building real-world applications.

## The EVM's Role in Ethereum

The EVM is integral to Ethereum as it provides the secure and deterministic environment required to run smart contracts. All transactions on Ethereum pass through the EVM, which enables use cases like decentralized finance, tokenized assets and decentralized organizations. The EVM helped catalyze the smart contract revolution.

So in summary, the EVM executes smart contract code on the Ethereum blockchain, enabling developers to create decentralized applications. It provides a trustless and computable environment that expands the possibilities for blockchain-based software.

Hi there,
My name is Wonuola; I’m a front-end developer, a podcaster, and a writer.
I want to start something here.
I want to share useful information on technologies and the internet with you.
So today, I’ll be writing about _cookies_.
I’m pretty sure most of us wonder what this ‘cookies’ thing is about.
**_Cookies_** are small text files collected by your computer on every website you visit. It helps keep track of your information and preferences when visiting web pages. These preferences include font size, language, preferred ad, etc. 
This helps to improve the user’s experience and saves you the stress of reselecting your preferences on your next visit. It also helps the host website keep track of their traffic. 
Many may not like the idea of these ‘cookies’ due to privacy reasons; that’s why there’s an option to accept or disable cookies.

 We’ve come to the end of this short article.
 Let me know what you think in the comments.
Also, I own a podcast named [Tech with Wonuola](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/favfront-end-dev), where I and amazing guests talk about everything in the software space.
I started an Open Source project.

So basically if you all don't know, I started working on this project "Ramen" about 7 months before. And it has a lot of cool new features which I guess you guys should check out. I'll be publishing it on NPM soon, But for now you all can just do the manual work. As of right now, Ramen can spin up a server which has asynchronous handling of different routes, File uploads and downloads, Middlewares, Routers, A custom logger if you want to dump your log information to a database or instead of it being in the console. You can set Cookies, Edit the cookies and many many more! I've added some example web servers which I made using Ramen and I'd love to see what other people can create using this. Also I love all the support this has gained And I'm and I will keep updating ramen daily :) Feel free to let me know what else do you want in a backend Framework 

With that being said these are the current features which are available in Ramen as of Right Now:

* Splitting of code base using Routers - You can create different routers and use them to split your codebase however you want to. You can create different API Versions too if you want to.

* File Uploads and Downloads - You can use Ramen to send files as a response or you can receive file from a request body and save it wherever you want.

* Cookies - Ramen has a built in cookie parser and editor, You can set and edit cookies without adding any extra plugins.

* Template Rendering - With ramen you can use EJS Templating to render any EJS View as a response in any route.

* Custom logger - You can use the `assignLogger` function to get the information and save the logs or even just print the logs in a different fashion however you want. 

* Query Parameters - You can pass in different query parameters and Ramen will parse it itself instead of you doing string manipulation on the URL 

and that's it for now, I'd love more feedback and how to improve on it. And I'd also love you contributing to it :D

You can check it out [here](https://github.com/ohayouarmaan/ramen)

Here's a cat for now tho lol
