*Step-by-step how-to to use uWSGI Avahi plugin for GNU/Linux (tested on Ubuntu 17.04).*

> The Avahi uWSGI plugin ([github.com/20tab/uwsgi-avahi](https://github.com/20tab/uwsgi-avahi)) allows your instances to register services in your mDNS system.

```console
$ sudo apt-get install uwsgi uwsgi-src libavahi-client-dev
$ cd ~
$ PYTHON=python3.6 uwsgi --build-plugin https://github.com/20tab/uwsgi-avahi
$ sudo mv avahi_plugin.so /usr/lib/uwsgi/plugins/avahi_plugin.so
$ sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib/uwsgi/plugins/avahi_plugin.so
```

Configuring your `.ini` file like:

```ini
[uwsgi]
...
project_name = paulox
socket = 127.0.0.1:0
subscribe-to = 127.0.0.1:5005:%(project_name).local
plugins = avahi
avahi-register = %(project_name).local
```

After starting your emperor you can view  some similar messages on your log:

```log
...
Avahi Server Version: avahi 0.6.32
[uwsgi-avahi] registered record paulox.local CNAME ubuntu.local
...
```

Async and Await

---

For a while the Async and Await commands in c# have confused me.

Like most things the best way to learn about something is to use it in a real world example. I am currently adding an email alert feature to a website. This is an ideal example of something that would benefit from Asynchronous programming. There is no need for the webpage to wait to send 1000s of emails, lets just send a call to get started and allow the browser to carry on as normal.

This is my first try at using async and await so feel free to suggest best practises in the comments.

Lets start with a Send method in my EmailController.

<style>.gist table { margin-bottom: 0; }</style>

This simply checks to see if you have permission to the page. If not redirects to the login page otherwise it makes a method call and redirects back to the page it came from.

Lets have a look at that method call in more detail.

Task<string> t = SendNotification(id, userid);

SendNotification doesn’t return a normal string it returns a Task<string>, so lets look at how we are creating this.

<style>.gist table { margin-bottom: 0; }</style>

The return type is set to Task but it has the aysnc keyword appended to it. It also makes a call with the await keyword.

<style>.gist table { margin-bottom: 0; }</style>

So that is it. My first bit of code that uses Async and Await. My controller calls a method asynchronously which then calls another method asynchronously which sends emails asynchronously.

Async – This enables the Await keyword to be used in the method

Await – This is where things get asynchronous. The await keyword allows the code to wait asynchronously for the long running code to complete.

Updated 12/8/2022

## Who are you?

My name is Adam Abundis. I am a self-taught developer who has been coding for 7 years. I have been a part of some amazing tech communities like [Virtual Coffee](https://virtualcoffee.io/), [codeBlue Discord Group](https://www.linkedin.com/company/teamcodeblue/), and [Devs 4 Devs Slack Group](https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/devs-4-devs-newsletter-6992882806716571648/).

Before coding, I spent 10 years in hospitality/customer service and 5 years in the technical support industry.

## What is your experience in web development?

I have 2 years of experience as full-stack developer (PHP) with an emphasis on the front-end for digital marketing agencies (real estate, automotive dealerships). 

I also have 3 years of experience teaching/mentoring web development bootcamp students the MERN stack for edX. I love sharing my technical knowledge (CSS Flexbox, Javascript, debugging techniques, responsive web design, accessibility) and pair programming.

## What do you currently do?

I am currently a freelance front-end developer looking to build innovative user interfaces that allow users to forget they are looking at a browser. I like to do this by prioritizing web performance, adding CSS transition animations, and focusing on the overall flow of a website from a user's perspective.

## What do you like to do for fun?

As you can see in my cover image, I like to travel. I enjoy it so much that my family and I are on our 2nd stint of full-time traveling in the United States since May 2022. We have able to explore 9 states (California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama) in the last 2 years. We are planning a big cross-country trip from Florida to Alaska next year (2023).

## Anything else I should know?

It's a pleasure to be a part of dev.to community. I have learned so much from the blogs on this platform. I want to give back by blogging more about learning vue.js in public, freelancing, and share some knowledge that I have gained in the last 7 years. I hope my posts will inspire and add value on your developer journey.

Amazon Alexa free swag?

#Will free swag continue to attract developers to the Amazon Alexa platform?

###It seems that every month Amazon is running some new special to entice developers to create new and engaging Alexa skills and utilize the Alexa Skills kit.

{% twitter 881219064168763392 %}

###Now don't get me wrong this is what *initially brought me to the platform...* However I utilized this not only to get a cool hoodie but to start my journey on learning a new skill. When I started working on Alexa skills there were less than 2,000 skills available for the device, today that number has grown to over 10,000. Some would argue that this growth is due to these promotions Amazon has offered.

###While I agree that this was great to bring individuals to the platform and help assist with growth, there were however some drawbacks. At times Amazon would give free swag away for using a certain type of template they had already created as a starting point. What this did was to create an environment where there are many duplicate skills...and do we really need another cat facts skill?

###*However there is hope* recently Amazon, on a trial basis at least, has started [paying devs Alexa skill royalties](http://ht.ly/Fkd330bKWoF) for engaging game skills. 

 {% twitter 864571154576674816 %}

###It is my beliefe that with the launch of this program along with the announcement of [AWS promotional credits for Alexa](https://developer.amazon.com/alexa-skills-kit/alexa-aws-credits) that this will create a climate where developers will push the limits of what the platform can do and explore options outside the standard templates Amazon has offered.

###Do you own an Alexa enabled device what skills would you like to see made, or better yet what skills would you like to create yourself?
