In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a clone of the mobile game Crossy Road with Three.js. The goal of this game is to move a character through an endless path of static and moving obstacles. You have to go around trees and avoid getting hit by cars. There’s a lot to cover in […]

To create an AI chatbot and integrate it with another platform, you have to communicate with large language model using an API. This API receives prompts from the client and sends them to the model to generate answers. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create such an API using the DeepSeek R1 large […]

I’ve been coding for about a decade now. And over the years, I’ve tried my fair share of development tools—especially IDEs like Sublime Text, Atom, and even NetBeans back in my college days. But when VS Code came along, it completely changed the game for me. It’s lightweight, fast, and packed with features that just […]

AI-powered coding assistants have changed the way developers write software. They help automate repetitive tasks, catch errors early, and speed up development. But not all AI coding tools are built with security in mind. One of the most promising free AI coding assistants is DeepSeek. It’s been hailed as a game changer and has a […]

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, allowing developers to efficiently deploy, manage, and scale applications. But deploying Kubernetes clusters in the cloud can be complex. That’s where Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) comes in, simplifying Kubernetes management on AWS. Additionally, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Pulumi help automate and streamline […]

These days, cyberattacks are growing concerns that everyone on a development team should be aware of. This means that if you’re a developer, you should learn some basic cybersecurity skills. After all, cyber attackers are typically developers themselves, and their attacks are only increasing in frequency, variety, and complexity. I don’t tell you this to […]

Building interactive and accessible web applications is a crucial skill for modern developers. React, one of the most popular JavaScript libraries, provides a powerful way to create dynamic user interfaces. A great way to deepen your understanding of React while working on a practical project is by building a memory game—an engaging challenge that covers […]

Understanding fundamental programming concepts is crucial for success in computer science, especially for students preparing for the Cambridge A-Level Computer Science exam. Mastering these topics not only helps in exams but also builds a strong foundation for real-world software development. One of the best ways to grasp these concepts is through practical implementation in a […]

I recently migrated some tests from Jest to the Node.js test runner in two of my projects that use MongoDB. In one of those projects, test runtime was reduced from 107 seconds to 25 seconds (screenshot below). In the other project, test runtime was reduced by about 66%. I decided to share with you how […]

Redux is a state management library for JavaScript applications. It lets you create applications that behave in a predictable manner and run on different environments, including server and native environments. Redux Toolkit is the recommended way to write Redux logic, and was created to make working with Redux easier. Traditionally, writing Redux logic required a […]
