- How to upgrade your app’s design from Holo to Material Design — A case study #android – I basically wanted to keep the main aesthetics of my Holo app, but upgrade it to Material Design in a meaningful way. This is a short documentation of how I managed to do this.
- Functor and Monad in Swift #functional #swiftlang – I have been trying to teach myself Functional Programming since late 2013. Many of the concepts are very daunting because of their somewhat academic nature. It wasn’t until recently that I finally could say that I got what Monad means. Let’s explore why this concept even exists, and how it can help you when writing Swift c
- Mockito – @Mock, @Spy, @Captor and @InjectMocks – In this tutorial, we’ll cover all the annotations in the Mockito library – @Mock, @Spy, @Captor and @InjectMocks

- A simple use-case comparison of JVM libraries for MongoDB – MongoDB is one of my favorite data stores when it comes to storing document-based JSON data.

- Easy Storyboard segues in Swift #swiftlang – When working with a storyboard and segues, the usual method of performing a segue can be a bit cumbersome. To deal with this, we’ve created a tiny helper called SegueManager that allows you to pass a closure to a performSegue call.
