21 hot programming trends — and 21 going cold

Programmers love to sneer at the world of fashion where trends blow through like breezes. Skirt lengths rise and fall, pigments come and go, ties get fatter, then thinner. But in the world of technology, rigor, science, math, and precision rule over fad. That’s not to say programming is a profession devoid of trends. What follows is a list of what’s hot and what’s not among today’s programmers. Not everyone will agree with what’s A-listed, what’s D-listed, and what’s been left out. That’s what makes programming an endlessly fascinating profession: rapid change, passionate debate, sudden comebacks.

Using The $http Service In AngularJS To Make AJAX Requests

When I first got into AngularJS, I started using the $resource service to communicate with the backend. This wasn’t a decision that I made based on thoughtful analysis; rather, I was simply doing what I saw in various AngularJS tutorials. In retrospect, it was an unfortunate decision. As such, I wanted to take some time and start getting comfortable with using the $http service to make AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) requests in my AngularJS applications. This demo describes how I did it.
