    Windows App SDK

    Windows App SDK

    The Windows App SDK empowers all Windows desktop apps

    The Windows App SDK is a set of new developer tools and components that represents the next evolution in the Windows app development platform. The Windows App SDK provides a unified set of APIs and tools that can be used consistently by any desktop app on Windows 11 and below through Windows 10, version 1809. The Windows Apps SDK does not replace the Windows SDK or existing Windows desktop app types, such as .NET (including Windows Forms and WPF) and Win32 desktop with C++. Instead, the Windows App SDK supplements these existing app types and tools with a common set of APIs that developers can use across these platforms. For more information, see Benefits of the Windows App SDK. The Windows App SDK offers extensions for Visual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio 2022. These extensions include project templates configured to use Windows App SDK components in new projects. The Windows App SDK libraries are also available through a NuGet package that you can install into existing projects.

    Kubernetes Handbook

    Kubernetes Handbook

    Cloud native application architecture practice handbook

    Cloud native is a behavioral method and design concept. In its essence, all behaviors or methods that can improve resource utilization and application delivery efficiency on the cloud are cloud-native. The history of cloud computing is a history of cloud native. Kubernetes opened the prelude to cloud native 1.0. The emergence of service mesh Istio led to microservices in the post-Kubernetes era. The rise of serverless has enabled cloud native to advance from the infrastructure layer to the application architecture layer. We are in a cloud native The new era of 2.0. Kubernetes is a container orchestration and scheduling engine developed by Google in June 2014 based on its internal Borg system. Google contributed it as an initial and core project to the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation). In recent years, it has gradually developed a cloud native Ecology. The goal of Kubernetes is to provide a specification to describe the architecture of the cluster.

    Computer Science Flash Cards

    Computer Science Flash Cards

    Mini website for testing both general CS knowledge and enforce coding

    This repository collects concise flash cards that cover the core ideas of a traditional computer science curriculum with a focus on interview readiness. The cards distill topics like time and space complexity, classic data structures, algorithmic paradigms, operating systems, networking, and databases into short, testable prompts. They are designed for spaced-repetition style study so you can cycle frequently through fundamentals until recall feels automatic. Many cards point at canonical definitions or contrasts (e.g., stack vs. queue, BFS vs. DFS) to strengthen conceptual boundaries. The material favors clarity and breadth over exhaustive proofs, making it ideal for quick refreshers during a study plan. It complements longer resources by giving you a lightweight way to keep key concepts top of mind.

    cppbestpractices

    Collaborative collection of C++ best practices

    Collaborative Collection of C++ Best Practices. This online resource is part of Jason Turner's collection of C++ Best Practices resources. This document is meant to be a collaborative discussion of the best practices in C++. It complements books such as Effective C++ (Meyers) and C++ Coding Standards (Alexandrescu, Sutter). We fill in some of the lower-level details that they don't discuss and provide specific stylistic recommendations while also discussing how to ensure overall code quality. In all cases brevity and succinctness is preferred. Examples are preferred for making the case for why one option is preferred over another. If necessary, words will be used.

    type-fest

    type-fest

    A collection of essential TypeScript types

    type-fest is a TypeScript utility types library that offers a curated, battle-tested suite of type definitions and type transformations that aren’t included in the TypeScript standard library. It provides types like Except, Merge, LiteralUnion, Writable, Promisable, PartialDeep, JsonObject, and many others that solve everyday typing needs in complex TypeScript codebases. Developers pull in just the types they need, which makes code more expressive and safer without reinventing tricky type logic. Because many of the types in type-fest are things “that should have been built-in,” it’s widely adopted across TypeScript projects that need more advanced static typing capabilities. The package is modular, well documented, and regularly maintained to stay compatible with evolving TypeScript versions and features. It plays a central role in type-heavy codebases (frameworks, utilities, libraries) by reducing repetition and giving reliable tools for type-level programming.

    How They DevOps

    How They DevOps

    A curated collection of publicly available resources

    How They DevOps is a collection of public writeups, posts, and references that show how well-known companies actually implement DevOps practices in the real world. Instead of describing DevOps in the abstract, it points to concrete CI/CD setups, infrastructure choices, incident processes, and tooling stacks used by tech organizations. This gives learners and teams a reality check: DevOps at scale is opinionated, messy, and adapted to business constraints. It’s especially useful for people building a DevOps function who want to benchmark against recognizable names before picking tools. The repository also serves as inspiration for internal presentations and proposals because you can say “this is how X does it” and back it up. Over time, as new companies publish engineering blogs and postmortems, the repo can be updated to reflect current industry setups.

    ideabook

    A growth engineering idea in action

    ideabook is a collection curated by Phodal Huang containing a large number of hands-on practice project ideas for full-stack/growth engineering engineers. Each project is described with background, a showcase or story of need, and step-by-step implementation suggestions: from building a GIS system with Django+Haystack, to an editing-publishing separated blogging system, to an Ionic/Electron hybrid application, to building a JavaScript slide framework. The aim is to give developers concrete, creative, and tricky exercise ideas rather than generic “todo app” templates, helping them build their portfolio, sharpen skills, and explore architectures. The repository emphasizes “growth engineering”, building systems, not just UI, that require thinking about data flows, tooling, deployment, and scaling. Because the list is diverse across stacks (frontend, backend, mobile, GIS, search engines), it encourages cross-pollination of skills rather than deeper specialization.

It organizes material into API reference, getting-started guides, best practices, and topic-focused explanations such as routing, middleware, error handling, templating, and performance. Versioned docs help readers match API behavior to the framework version they’re running, reducing confusion during upgrades. The site showcases common patterns through concise examples, making it easy to translate concepts into working code. In addition to core Express usage, the documentation surfaces ecosystem guidance on things like security headers, structured logging, and integration with view engines or ORMs. Because it is open to community contributions, the documentation evolves alongside Express itself, reflecting real-world questions and solutions.
