Cloud architecture tips you will not regret later
In one of my favorite movies "The Blues Brothers", the wife of the trucker pit stop owner proudly exclaims that they play 'both kinds of music - Country and Western'. Readers of my blog know I too tend to serve two kinds of articles. In think-pieces, I tend to pontificate on a topic that buzzes... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, I went to the movies to watch Mel Brooks' "History of The World, Part I". I had a great time and could not wait for the sequel (that featured, among other things, Hitler on ice, a Viking funeral and laser-shooting rabbis in 'Jews in Space' teaser). Alas, 'Part II' never came.... Continue Reading →
We at IBM are not strangers to large, well capitalized conferences. As things go in the conference-industrial complex, it is a big deal when one of your keynote speakers is Kevin Spacey, or Imagine Dragons entertain you after hours. So to say that the first Full Stack Toronto Conference was on the opposite side of... Continue Reading →
Wow, has it been a year already? I am faking surprise, of course, because WordPress has notified me well ahead of time that I need to renew my dejanglozic.com domain. So in actuality I said 'wow, will it soon be a year of me blogging'. Nevertheless, the sentiment is genuine. It may be worthwhile to... Continue Reading →

In case of myself and the project Kraken.js, it had me at "Node.js/express.js/Dust.js/jQuery/Require.js/Bootstrap". OK, not fit for a memorable... Continue Reading →
The post title unintentionally sounds like a movie franchise (e.g. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan), but in my defense I DID promise I will return to the topic of pushing events to the browser using Socket.io and Node.js in the post about message queues. The idea was to take the example I wrote about in... Continue Reading →
The title of this post is a paraphrase of the famous Marshal McLuhan's 'The medium is the message', meant to imply that the medium that carries the message also embeds itself into the message, creating a symbiotic relationship with it. Of course, as I write this, I half-expect a ghost of Mr. Marshal to appear... Continue Reading →
Last week I hoped to blog-shame Guillermo Rauch into releasing Socket.io v1.0 for my own convenience. Alas, it didn't work (gotta work on my SEO), but I see a lot of traffic from @rauchg on the corresponding GitHub project, so my spirits are high. Meanwhile, I realized that for my own dabbling, v0.91 is pretty... Continue Reading →
