Building an API in 2023

Building an API in 2023
This blog post is actually taken from my pet project DNSDig’s README.md file. I’m putting it here because I like what I wrote about it. DNS Dig API A project to learn about DNS in Python while investigating what it’s like to build an API in 2023 with FastAPI, Pydantic and DNSPython. Authentication and authorization is handled by Kinde. Getting Started Python 3.11 is required to run this project. If you don’t have it installed, you can use pyenv. [Read More]

Lost and Found

Over the years, a lot has changed since I first venture into making opportunities available for myself. Throughout most of the years, there is only 1 thing staying consistent: hunger. Call it a hunger to better myself in more ways mostly personally which impacts directly into my professional life. My first intro to programming was as early as my first instinct to get to know how to speak English. Subtitles in past TV serials helped me a lot and my Grandparents, they talked in English sometimes but mostly left me to figure it out on my own. [Read More]

OAUTHnesia for Windows 8 Metro Apps C#

The last few days at Bandung was spent hacking a “proof of concept” application for Windows 8 Metro without using Urbanesia’s OAUTHnesia library. Now the library is done but still needs a few tweaks. All updates of the codes will be live in its Github Gist.

Without further ado, here’s the gist: [gist][/gist]

Jajan for Android Open Sourced at Github

Jajan for Android is now Open Sourced at Github a few hours ago. I personally hope that by looking at the source code provided, more and more developers will sync to the tune of how easy it is to create an Android application.

OAUTHnesia for PHP

It’s 2012 now and Urbanesia is publishing a new OAUTHnesia client for Urbanesia’s API. This time it’s for PHP. Why it took so long to actually finish a PHP version is because we gave up on a third party library that is too complicated to do simple things. So without further ado, the codes are available below.

Spontaneous Writing Episode II

The second episode of Spontaneous Writing is now in session continuing from this previous session. For tonight, my iTunes is happily playing songs by Tohpati in his rather old solo album. By the way, from what I’ve been trying to do the past few weeks, it seems that only when I got home will then writing moments will be abundant for my fingers. Can’t seem to do this while at the office. [Read More]

Small is NOT so small

It’s been like a few months not posting into my own blog. The 24th day of 2011 and it seems that months have passed by just like that. In the span of 24 days that have passed, every single day is cramped with all the aspects of being a startup. Just today, I went from a programmer, a cable crimper, a business partner, a troubleshooter, a mobile app consultant, a colleague to a friend for a friend, all in just one day. [Read More]
