Image result for code developer

Welcome to my first ever blog!

I'm a passionate software engineer who just loves challenges and solving interesting problems. I've been working professionally for over 5 years using technology like Java, JavaScript, SQL Server, MySQL, Hibernate and a few other technologies. I've dabbled with python. I've dabbled with Android. And overall, I just love coding.

So I thought to myself, one late night, that it'd be interesting to start website and post my journey into the continuous improvement of my technology stack and any random technology pieces that interest me (and hopefully you).

So follow me on my programming journey and let's learn a whole bunch of things together :)

Thanks,
Faraaz

The place where I've noticed that is most heavily affected by context switching is the Support Desk. The pro

As a developer, one is used to seeing code snippets formatted in a specific way. Eg: public class FormatCodeClass{ { public void showFormattedMethod() { System.out.println("Yay"); } } Fortunately, most websites that support these snippets use some kind of library that can be used to render this easily. The one that I use on my blog is called Google Pretty Print. I'll be explaining how to integrate this into your website/Blogger.  Step 1) Add the library to your HTML above the <body> tag Click on Themes, then on Edit HTML. Search for the <body> tag and copy  <script src='https://cdn.rawgit.com/google/code-prettify/master/loader/run_prettify.js'/> above it.  Step 2) Add in your preferred CSS above the </head> tag <!--Desert theme--> <style type='text/css'>pre .atn,pre .kwd,pre .tag{font-weight:700}pre.prettyprint{display:block;background-color:#333}pre .nocode{background-color:none;color:
