Once heralded as the democratization of software development, these platforms now face a rapidly evolving competitive landscape where AI can generate code, build applications, and automate processes with increasing sophistication. This article examines the changing value proposition of Power Platform in an AI-dominated future and what it means for organizations invested in the Microsoft ecosystem. https://www.afsalomon.com/post/vue-azure-functions/ Sun, 22 Jul 2018 16:56:44 -0400 https://www.afsalomon.com/post/vue-azure-functions/ In this post, i will talk about how i built a pretty naive and primitive dashboard that displays the status of any URLs. The dashboard’s interface is a Vue.js application with an Azure function backend. I will first give an overview of the app with it’s architecture and the different technologies involved. I will focus more on the process and architecture rather than a step by step or code diving (Will probably write a series for this). https://www.afsalomon.com/page/about/ Sat, 20 Jan 2018 13:11:36 -0500 https://www.afsalomon.com/page/about/ Contact Info 9900 Georgia Ave unit 201 Silver Spring, MD 20920 bizoton19@gmail.com Education Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems University of Central Florida Orlando, FL Technologies I Use in Projects Platforms : Z/os, Windows, Linux, AWS, Azure, Heroku, Netlify, Github, Mlab, elasticCloud Tools: Azure Functions, Powershell, Bash, Git, TFS, SQL Server, DB2, MySql,MongoDB, cUrl, NPM, Hugo, Angular-Cli, Vue-Cli, Azure data tables, Yoeman, MSBuild, Cake Programing Languages : C#, Java, Javascript, Go, Scala, SQL, HTML, CSS, Markdown https://www.afsalomon.com/post/we-are-the-watchers-on-the-vue/ Sun, 10 Dec 2017 22:14:49 -0500 https://www.afsalomon.com/post/we-are-the-watchers-on-the-vue/ What are watchers in Vue? The Vue documentation describes watchers as a generic way to react to data changes through the watch option. In other words when you want to perform an action based on a data change, using watchers are more appropriate. This would certainly be true per example if you are passing data from a parent to a child component where the data being passed is going to be part of a submit() operation that calls an api to do a POST. https://www.afsalomon.com/post/test-drive-of-venes-tech-stack/ Wed, 15 Nov 2017 00:58:09 -0500 https://www.afsalomon.com/post/test-drive-of-venes-tech-stack/ What is VENES? V Vuejs| E Express| N Nodejs| ES Elasticsearch What we’re building Given several open data sets or dataset apis, the idea is to extract the datasets, transform and load them into an Elasticsearch cluster for fast searches via the Elasticsearch api. Users should be able to type in terms in a text box, google search style, and get instant relevant hits, then they should be able to narrow down their choices using some filtering mechanism.
