Magento 2 - Building an Admin Grid on the Frontend
Recently, I had the opportunity to take a development test for a very prestigous Magento Agency. I would say for the past year or so all my work has been geared towards Magento 1, so my Magento 2 skillset has been whithering from disuse simply due to my current employer’s business needs. All their current shops are built on M1–Although we will be converting them to M2 this year. This was an opportunity to build something interesting in Magento 2 and dust off the Magento 2 skills a bit.

Configuring your Linux system for Harvard's CS50 Course
When I first started Harvard’s CS50 course, I was using a very old system which didn’t have support for hardware virtualization, which in turn caused any virtual environment to be sluggish and unresponsive. So much so, that getting any type of work on it was near impossible. This dilemma is what led me to install and configure my base linux system to mimic the appliance when compiling C code, entailing installing the CS50 library, configuring make to use clang with the proper flags, and also configuring check50 to ensure my programs would have passing marks when submitted. In this article, I will be discussing how I configured my base system to mimic features of the CS50 Appliance.

It simply substitutes easily type-able characters for the more tedious HTML tags it is designed to replace. It then converts the markdown tags to regular HTML when the document is saved. Markdown is designed to be used while the article is being written instead of the more traditional method of going back through a document and marking it up in html after its completion. Making the whole process of formatting a document easier and more efficent.
