JSON to XML ConverterTurn any valid JSON into clean, standards-friendly XML in one click Convert JSON Clear All What is a JSON to XML Converter?I love how JSON keeps data light and friendly for JavaScript, yet some legacy systems still expect XML. When your shiny front-end meets an older partner, you need a translator. A JSON to XML converter takes your modern JSON and turns it into well-formed XML so both systems can talk without arguing about syntax.What Does Our JSON to XML Converter Do?This web tool reads any valid JSON object or array, parses it in-browser, and outputs neat…

In DevOps workflows, infrastructure as code has become a very important approach to managing and automating any infrastructure. Ansible, a powerful infrastructure as code tool, simplifies configuration management, build deployments and environment setup across multiple systems. One common challenge in the DevOps world is ensuring that build environments are set up consistently across different machines to make sure they behave the same way. In this post, I will demonstrate how Ansible can automate the setup of a build environment for any type of build. I will include Windows as well as the Linux environment setup. Windows-based .NET builds Needs Visual Studio Build Tools, .NET…
JSON to YAML ConverterTurn compact JSON into readable, indentation-based YAML instantly Convert JSON Clear All What is a JSON to YAML Converter?I love JSON for its strict structure, but sometimes I want the elegance of YAML. YAML is indentation based, comment friendly, and easy on the eyes, which makes configuration files feel less cluttered. A JSON to YAML converter takes any valid JSON object or array and translates it into properly indented YAML so teams that prefer YAML can work with data that originally came from JavaScript or any REST response.What Does Our JSON to YAML Converter Do?This tool lives…
BCD to Decimal ConverterConvert Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) values into standard base-10 numbers Convert BCD Clear All What is a BCD to Decimal Converter?I like binary, but let’s be honest—binary-coded decimal (BCD) makes life a little weird. Instead of packing values tightly like standard binary, BCD encodes each decimal digit into its own 4-bit binary chunk. This makes it easy to read digitally but not so fun to decode manually. A BCD to Decimal Converter reads that binary mess and gives you back a regular human-readable number.What Does Our BCD to Decimal Converter Do?This tool takes a string of binary digits—grouped…
When thinking about starting a Generative AI (GenAI) project, you might assume that Python is required to get started in this new space. However, if you’re already a Java developer, there’s no need to learn a new language. The Java ecosystem offers robust tools and libraries that make building GenAI applications both accessible and productive. In this blog, you’ll learn how to build a GenAI app using Java. We’ll do a step-by-step demo to show you how RAG enhances the model response, using Spring AI and Docker tools. Spring AI integrates with many model providers (for both chat and embeddings),…
It’s been forgotten about and neglected for few years but I’ve decided to dust off the cobwebs and revive our YouTube channel. Keep an eye on it, every new blog post will now also include a video demonstration as well as there being regular SQL news bulletins and other content. We’ll also be going back over some of our more popular blog posts and creating video demonstrations for those.So if you haven’t done so already, pop over to Undercover TV, subscribe and check it out.
After the success of our RHCSA / RHCE and LFCS / LFCE certification books, we are now happy to present “Master Linux in Just 7 Days”. A complete 7-day crash course to help beginners master Linux, the command line, software management, and more. No experience needed! Linux is a free and open-source operating system created in the early 1990s by the legendary Linus Torvalds. He developed the core component of the system, known as the kernel. Combined with the power of GNU software, we now have a complete operating system often referred to as GNU/Linux. Today, Linux is everywhere –…
There have been dramatic changes to the developer landscape since our 2024 report. AI capabilities are extending beyond coding assistants, the rubber is hitting the road on platform engineering initiatives, and there’s more pressure than ever before to deliver quality software, fast. Delivering high-quality software fast is an excellent goal, but do developers have what they need to achieve this? This survey represents our opportunity to hear directly from developers and their leaders on how these advancements are changing their experience. Last year, we found that developers and their leaders weren’t aligned on what causes friction in developers’ daily work.…
Deepgram has developed a framework that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enable developers to automate multiple tasks using a single voice command.Natalie Rutgers, vice president of product for Deepgram, said Deepgram Saga is essentially a voice operating system that can be layered on top of existing tools and platform that converts natural speech into a set of prompts that invokes the Model Context Protocol (MCP) developed by Anthropic.Via a single voice command, an application developer can verbally request, for example, to run tests, commit changes, deploy, and then update the team using any tool or platform that exposes an MCP…
Executive summary The 2025 Docker State of Application Development Report offers an ultra high-resolution view of today’s fast-evolving dev landscape. Drawing insights from over 4,500 developers, engineers, and tech leaders — three times more users than last year — the survey explores tools, workflows, pain points, and industry trends. In this our third report, key themes emerge: AI is gaining ground but adoption remains uneven; security is now a shared responsibility across teams; and developers still face friction in the inner loop despite better tools and culture. With a broader, more diverse respondent base than our previous more IT-focused surveys,…
