Looking back on my 2021

As of this writing, the COVID-19 pandemic still persists. In Vietnam, people have just passed a horrible time of lockdown, we needed to stay at home for nearly 4 months. I have even got covid infected and spent a quarantine time for more than three weeks.

Tech Lead at UMB Solution (ubitec)

Tech Lead was my official job title at ubitec. I have worked closely with two teams (7 developers in total) for developing two products ubichat and ubibot. My responsibilities were divided into three following roles:

- Software engineer: joined teams to implement/solve several challenging problems

- Technical consultant: for developers, Product Owners, Product Managers, and customers.

- Mentor: grew the teams in both technical skills and soft skills

Mental care

In my spare time, I enjoyed reading books and watching videos. I have been doing "meditation" in ... every moment in my life (no kidding 😊)

The following was my favorite 2021 Youtube channels:

- The Quoc Khanh Show Premium (TQKS Premium)

- Bar stories - Dustin On The Go

- Johnny Trí Nguyễn

Making life easier

This was a tough year due to COVID, however fortunately I could get my car driving license and buy a new house.

Happy new year, 2022!

The HelloWorld example of JSF 2.2 with Myfaces

I just did by myself create a very simple app "HelloWorld" of JSF 2.2 with a concrete implementation Myfaces that we can use it later on for our further JSF trying out. I attached the source code link at the end part. Just follow these steps below: 1. Create a Maven project in Eclipse (Kepler) with a simple Java web application archetype "maven-archetype-webapp". Maven should be the best choice for managing the dependencies , so far. JSF is a web framework that is the reason why I chose the mentioned archetype for my example. 2. Import dependencies for JSF implementation - Myfaces (v2.2.10) into file pom.xml . The following code that is easy to find from http://mvnrepository.com/ with key words "myfaces". <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId> <artifactId>myfaces-api</artifactId> <version>2.2.10</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core<...

Junit - Test fails on French or German string assertion

In my previous post about building a regex to check a text without special characters but allow German and French . I met a problem that the unit test works fine on my machine using Eclipse, but it was fail when running on Jenkins' build job. Here is my test: @Test public void shouldAllowFrenchAndGermanCharacters(){ String source = "ÄäÖöÜüß áÁàÀâÂéÉèÈêÊîÎçÇ"; assertFalse(SpecialCharactersUtils.isExistSpecialCharater(source)); } Production code: public static boolean isExistNotAllowedCharacters(String source){ Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("^[a-zA-Z_0-9_ÄäÖöÜüß áÁàÀâÂéÉèÈêÊîÎçÇ]*$"); Matcher matcher = regex.matcher(source); return !matcher.matches(); } The result likes the following: Failed tests: SpecialCharactersUtilsTest.shouldAllowFrenchAndGermanCharacters:32 null A guy from stackoverflow.com says: "This is probably due to the default encoding used for your Java source files. The ö in the string literal in the J...

AngularJS Fundamentals

1. Single Page Application (SPA) - Single page application versus Traditional multi-page - " Single-Page Applications (SPAs) are Web apps that load a single HTML page and dynamically update that page as the user interacts with the app. SPAs use AJAX and HTML5 to create fluid and responsive Web apps, without constant page reloads. However, this means much of the work happens on the client side, in JavaScript " src: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dn463786.aspx - " Web browser JavaScript frameworks, such as AngularJS, Ember.js, ExtJS and React have adopted SPA principles " src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-page_application 2.

14 books I have read in 2020

1. Cha Voi: Dạy con nên người ở thời đại số Author: Trương Nguyện Thành Language: Vietnamese I love the methodology of parenting so-called Cha Voi (elephant father). It is neither very strict nor easy. The parents take themself as an example to lead their children. 2. Release it! Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software Author: Michael T. Nygard Language: English It was fun to read stories about how the author investigate and solve the issues of software running on production. I learned lots of terms and strategies to ensure stable software such as health check, circuit breaker, logging, monitoring, etc, ... 3. Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions Author: Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths Language: English When talking about algorithms, people usually think it is something complicated and also for computer science only. However, algorithms are actually steps to solve a problem. Life consists of lots of problems. We can use the power of algorith...

JSF, Primefaces - Invoking Application Code Even When Validation Failed

A use case I have a form which has requirements as follow: - There are some mandatory fields. - Validation is triggered when changing value on each field. - A button "Next" is enable only when all fields are entered. It turns to disabled if any field is empty. My first approach I defined a variable "isDisableNext" at a backend bean "Controller" for dynamically disabling/enabling the "Next" button by performing event "onValueChange", but, it had a problem: <h:form id="personForm"> <p:outputLabel value="First Name" for="firstName"/> <p:inputText id="firstName" value="#{person.firstName}" required="true"> <p:ajax event="change" listener="#{controller.onValueChange}" update="nextButton"/> </p:inputText> <p:outputLabel value="Last Name" for="lastName"/> <p:i...
