Keller Schroeder was honored to sponsor the Nashville Software Crafters’ inaugural event of its speaker series on February 6, 2020. The sold-out event featured world-renowned author and speaker Robert C. Martin (a.k.a. “Uncle Bob”) – one of the founders of “The Agile Manifesto” in 2001, creator of several software principles and patterns, and author of best-selling books such as “Clean Code” and Clean Architecture.”
Uncle Bob spoke of the importance of quality, integrity, candor, and professionalism to more than 200 software professionals in attendance. His 50 years of industry experience, contagious sense of humor, and passion for his craft resonated with everyone in the room. You can learn more about Uncle Bob at https://cleancoders.com/ or purchase his books on Amazon.
Jill Epperson and Cathy Graper joined Connor Bailey and Rob Wilson from our Nashville office to represent our Keller Schroeder’s Application Solutions Group at the event. Thank you to the organizers for putting together a fantastic event, and thanks to all the kind folks who visited with us at our table.
Sometimes the special items feature ingredients from local suppliers as their unique thread. Sometimes the special items are themed around the time of year or a different ethnicity than the normal fare of the restaurant. This ‘one day only’ trait makes the restaurant different for me; I always order from the ‘specials’ menu, and I’ve always enjoyed it. The restaurant uses the specials menu to be even better at who they are –

Let’s start with a short introduction and description. Google first created Angular in 2010, followed by Facebook with React in 2013, showing both have the backing of major industry players. Both are popular web platforms written in JavaScript, which primarily run in your browser. Much of the code that traditionally ran on a server has migrated to your browser, and Angular and React have helped to push this trend forward. A common goal shared by both is to decouple an application’s logic from its user interface (UI), and both strongly focus on dynamic page updates (aka AJAX) – meaning your entire browser window does not reload when updates are made, only the content that changes needs to reload. This generally leads to a much nicer experience for the user.
Angular is typically classified as a full framework while React is considered a library. This means that Angular includes everything plus the kitchen sink, but React only concerns itself with the user interface. React is more lightweight than Angular, but includes less functionality out of the box.
Since Angular is a full framework, it naturally has a longer, steeper learning curve. Angular also requires the use of TypeScript (a statically typed version of JavaScript), which is an additional skill that must be learned. On the upside, Angular includes a tool for almost every scenario, so there’s usually a standardized, well-defined path forward.
Trust is an interesting thing. We often think of it as something we must earn, when in fact it is something one must choose to give in advance. That’s why we don’t take trust for granted. It is the hardest thing for you to let go of. It is said that people do business with those they know, like, and trust. We can help you know us by making you more aware of who we are and what we do. We can help you like us by being likable. And, of course, we can influence your trust proving ourselves trustworthy. But it isn’t enough just to share how others trusted us and how we delivered for them, or even to tell you of the times we messed up and how we made it right. In fact, our trustworthiness is not something we can prove to you personally at all until first you give us your trust. Once you give it, the onus is on us to prove you right.
