11 Best Practices for Designing RESTful API

Although the RESTful Application Programming Interface (API) was first established in the year 2000, there are currently no set guidelines or standards for API development. Developers have experimented with many methods to improve REST API solutions throughout the years. Some of them were successful, while others were unsuccessful. APIs that are poorly developed is difficult to maintain over time and are prone to failure.

Kimball vs Inmon: Which approach should you choose when designing your data warehouse architecture?

Data warehouses are the central data repository that allows Enterprises to consolidate data, automate data operations, and use the central repository to support all reporting, business intelligence (BI), analytics, and decision-making throughout the enterprise. But designing a data warehouse architecture can be quite challenging.

3 useful design patterns every developer should know about

The term “Design Pattern” describes a well-known and battle-tested solution to a problem that developers tend to encounter again and again when developing software. Design patterns are conceptual and can be implemented in any programming language. Design patterns generally fit into one of the following three different categories depending on the problem they address: In this blog post I’m going to cover a pattern from each of these categories in depth.

6 Best Practices for RESTful API Design: Lessons From the Field

Many businesses need to build an API for their customers to use, but many businesses also struggle with making their API easy for customers to use. DreamFactory makes it easier for developers to design RESTful APIs. It builds on the best practices in web-based software development, allowing developers to design RESTful APIs without cumbersome hand-coding. RESTful API design is a critical part of developing APIs, so it’s important to know the best practices for RESTful API design and implementation.

7 Tips for Designing Great API Documentation

API automation is leading the way for data-driven digital transformation. When developers are able to build modern applications for a variety of devices without having to manage server-side code and complexity, and other departments can tap into a well-designed API documentation system instead of a silo of cumbersome, unorganized code bases, your company will be well on its way to an API-first delivery model.

Canva or Affinity Designer: Which will you choose?

Graphic design is the art through which messages and ideas are communicated visually. Graphic design is also known as communication design and refers to the way designers connect with people through graphics or images. Elements of graphic design such as color, line, shape, space, texture, etc., influence the perception of consumers and viewers. Graphic design is a field that has an impact in various fields around the world.

The Developer's Guide to SOLID Design Principles

Building stable and robust software is one of the primary goals of any software development project. While it is crucial to keep your code error-free for that, the real strength of your application comes from its foundation—the architecture of your code. SOLID is one of the most popular collections of software design principles. Its goal is to help you avoid common pitfalls and plan your application’s architecture from a very high level.

Design Environment Challenges: Using PLM for Semiconductors

Following up on an earlier blog post where we discussed what is product lifecycle management for semiconductors, in this blog we will delve deeper into the challenges that PLM presents for a semiconductor design environment. Although PLM tools have seen some success in industries such as defense, automobile, aerospace, and others with large design teams and well-established methodologies, the adoption rate in the semiconductor space has been slow.
