Hey friends 👋
I am a Web Developer 👨💻 and a Blogger 📝
Ever since when I was in school, computer science has been my passion. I still remember sitting in front of my brother’s PC which has an Intel dual-core processor with 1 gigabyte of memory and Windows XP running it.
I got a computer for myself when I was in High School. I used to sit in front of it spending hours and hours surfing the internet and learning to code, building websites using HTML, CSS. The first programming language I learned was a language called QBASIC.

Over the last 4 years, I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system. The first distro that I used was Ubuntu 12.04 LTS back in 2012. I’ve tried so many Linux flavors. Kali, Debian, Pirot, Mint, etc. I found Ubuntu a developer-friendly distro packed…
So you’re that guy who wants to impress your colleagues with your vim skills. Find out how in this article.
Vim is a command-line text editor and I want to be honest. It is hard to learn. If you try to apply the principle of UI/UX, vim will fail every checklist. It is not friendly. BUT as people say practice makes perfect, with good practice you can learn it over time. And your productivity might get 2x faster.
Most of the time when we do code, we don’t type code all the time right? We write some code and compile it and things don’t work and we start to edit code. Vim is best for editing code. …
These technologies will see significant innovation and growth in 2021.
Every day, algorithms are improving and learning, computation powers are increasing rapidly failing Moore's law.
In 2020, we saw a lot of things in the tech industry. Google’s multi-services were down, Zoom skyrocketed, Tesla’s share skyrocketed, Billionaire made more money than ever, work from home became new normal even in enterprise companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook. The list goes on.

Here are the top 5 fields, we will see a…
As a developer, we have to deal with so many problems. One of the things we need to keep in mind as a developer is there are always better tools to get the job done.

Let’s send SMS notifications with Lambda and SNS to a Phone Number.
Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is a web service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and send notifications from the cloud. It is a managed pub/sub messaging service.

In this article, we will send an SMS with a message to a specified phone number using Lambda.
Prerequisites
- Working AWS Account
- AWS Management Console Access
Using Lambda we can directly call SNS APIs to send notifications to your phone numbers if…
DynamoDB
Capture Change Data with Amazon DynamoDB Streams.
In this article, you will see what dynamodb streams in detail and how they are useful and discuss some of the use cases.
One of the cool features of DynamoDB is DynamoDB streams. Streams can be extremely useful in event-driven applications where you need to keep a record of data change.
DynamoDB Streams capture item-level changes in your table and push the changes to a DynamoDB stream. You then can access the change information through the DynamoDB Streams API.
How does it work?
A DynamoDB stream is an ordered flow of information about changes to items in a DynamoDB table. When you enable a…
