Startup’s Secrets: How to Run Remote Sprint Planning

I’ve found that every small win or small difference, often makes the biggest difference in terms of impact. Imagine sprints as small battles, where your startup is fighting in an open arena. Every small victory accumulates, leading to the larger victory of the greater war - which involves outrunning your competition and owning the market. 

Before every battle (or sprint), planning is key to achieve small wins and an overall greater victory.
In this article, we’ll teach you everything you need to know about Sprint planning and the steps to follow to run remote sprints. Here’s what we’ll cover:

1. What is Sprint Planning?
2. Sprint Planning Roles
3. How to run an effective Sprint planning meeting?
4. Why is Sprint planning important?

My goal is to give you the knowledge we gained through our experience practicing scrum (while building a Jira alternative for software teams- meta!), so you can apply it and gain weekly, bi-weekly and monthly progress.

The difference between stream processing, real-time processing (Rear real-time) and complex event processing (CEP)

There is a subtle difference between stream processing, real-time processing (Rear real-time) and complex event processing (CEP). Let’s quickly look at the examples to understand the difference.

• Stream Processing: Stream processing is useful for tasks like fraud detection and cybersecurity. If transaction data is stream-processed, fraudulent transactions can be identified and stopped before they are even complete.
• Real-time Processing: If event time is very relevant and latencies in the second's range are completely unacceptable then it’s called Real-time (Rear real-time) processing. For ex. flight control system for space programs
• Complex Event Processing (CEP): CEP utilizes event-by-event processing and aggregation (for example, on potentially out-of-order events from a variety of sources, often with large numbers of rules or business logic).

Difference Between Coder, Programmer, Developer ,and Software Developer?

We all have heard about these job titles in our life, but do you know what is the exact difference between a coder, programmer, developer or a software engineer? Many of people claim that the difference is dependent on their education and what they have achieved in their carrier. This may be true but some people claim that companies you are working with decide either you are a programmer or a coder. But this makes it merely a job title difference, while each term has the huge environment set in them.

Let's find out what is the exact difference between a coder, a programmer, a developer, and a software engineer?

The 2020 React.js Developer RoadMap

In today’s world, you will rarely build an isolated GUI, instead, there is more chance that you will build something which communicates with other application using APIs like REST and GraphQL.

Thankfully, there are many API clients available for React developers, here is a list of them:

REST

• Fetch
• SuperAgent
• axios

GraphQL

• Apollo
• Relay
• urql

Apollo Client is my favorite and provides an easy way to use GraphQL to build client applications. The client is designed to help you quickly build a UI that fetches data with GraphQL and can be used with any JavaScript front-end

Btw, if you don’t know GraphQL and REST, I suggest you to spend some time learning them. If you need courses, the following are my recommendations:

GraphQL with React: The Complete Developers Guide
REST API Design, Development & Management

11. Utility Libraries

These are the libraries which make your work easier. There are many utility libraries available for React developers as shown below:

• Lodash
• Moment
• classnames
• Numeral
• RxJ
• SRamda

I don’t suggest you learn all these and so does RoadMap. If you look closely only Lodash, Moment, and Classnames are drawn in yellow, stating that you should start with them.

12. Testing

Now, this is one of the important skill for React Developers which is often overlooked, but if you want to stay ahead from your competition then you should focus on learning libraries which will help you in testing. Here also, you have libraries for Unit testing, Integration testing, and end-to-end testing.

Here is a list of libraries mentioned in the roadmap:

Unit Testing

• Jest
• Enzyme
• Sinon
• Mocha
• Chai
• AVA
• Tape

End to End Testing

• Selenium
• Webdriver
• Cypress
• Puppeteer
• Cucumber.js
• Nightwatch.js

Integration Testing

• Karma

You can learn the library you want but Jest and Enzyme are recommended. The Complete React Web Developer Course (with Redux) also covers Testing React application covering both Jest and Enzyme.
