Installing Docker Using Vagrant and VirtualBox
This install guide assumes that you have already followed my Vagrant/VirtualBox Guide and have it running successfully.
Open the “Vagrant” file that was created in the directory and add the below content and save:
# -*- mode: ruby -*- # vi: set ft=ruby : # All Vagrant configuration is done below. The "2" in Vagrant.configure # configures the configuration version (we support older styles for # backwards compatibility). Please don't change it unless you know what # you're doing.
AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals Certification
I managed to pass this one with a 980 out of 1000; I aced 3 out of the 4 domains. Since obtaining this one I’ve taken at passed the AWS Cloud Practitioner, which I received an 880 of out 1000. This AZ-900 was substantially easier than the AWS one. This cert basically covers whether you know the services in general, while the AWS Cloud Practitioner has a lot more focus on scenarios.
Visual Studio Code Setup for C# and .NET

This is assuming that you already have VS Code installed. At the time of this writing I’m on version 1.45. The next two don’t affect each other, so you can install them in either order. You want the C# extension and the .NET Core SDK.
After these are installed, I personally have been installing an extension pack called .NET Core Extension Pack. Like most extension packs I should probably look into each of the extensions more than I do.
Incremental VS Iterative

Agile is just short-duration incremental development right? WRONG!
This is a KEY concept that people miss with Agile.
If someone can’t explain incremental vs iterative be scared! If you take the common Agile process at face value all you really have is an incremental approach that doesn’t differ much from waterfall methodologies. In every waterfall project I’ve ever worked on it involved breaking down the higher level requirements into pieces that could be built, tested, and delivered.

This way is much, much faster, than using the snapd approach, but requires manually updating Hugo release download and install commands.

My 24 Pyramid

So I have this diagram that I try to live by…
Now, it started out with a simple “24”, but I’ve expanded it into sort of pyramid more out of a way to organize it versus a pyramid of hierarchy. Hierarchies are important in my two favorite models though; Steven Covey’s 7 habits of highly effective people and John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success, probably the greatest coach of all time.
Visual Studio Code, Notepad++, Atom Coding Editors
Editor Home Pages VS Code
NotePad++
Atom
My personal use over years has gone: Atom -> Notepad++ -> VS Code. I am not a developer by trade and simply need editors for writing scripts mostly to hack things together. Obviously, fully integrated IDEs for specific languages and platforms are WAY more powerful, and allow developers to work much more efficiently. In reality, in my situation, all three editors are more alike, than different.
Installing Java and Eclipse on Windows
Download and install the Java Development Kit (JDK).
Next, download and install Eclipse.
