We hear you’re a coder from way back. What inspired you to progress a career in software development?

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicked off with a keynote that was jam packed of fresh new content. It covered all three Apple platforms; iOS, watchOS and the newly renamed macOS. Here are my top 10 takeaways from the keynote...

Drilled into everyone’s mind is the danger of using phones and laptops before going to sleep. Blue light has been shown to be particularly detrimental to switching off before bed time. For a number of years, there have been applications...

Yesterday was one of my favourite days in the year – an Apple keynote day. If you are like me (and I am told by the DiUS content editors that there aren’t that many) you figure out the exact local...

Software houses and table tennis are synonymous. Like macaroni and cheese or peanut butter and jelly. Here at DiUS we’ve had table tennis tables for about two years.

On the sixth day of festivus my colleague gave to me, six sharks a-surfing!

On the third day of festivus my colleague gave to me, three kookaburras laughing!

When it rains, it pours. Over the last few weeks, Apple has updated their major operating systems on all their platforms. El Capitan for their MacBooks, WatchOS2 for their watches and iOS9 for their iPhones and iPads. I’m going to...

Spotify’s mantra is simple: give the world the right music for every moment. Founded in 2006 and having reached over 75 million users in June 2015, Spotify has changed the way the we consume music. Spotify offers an ‘all you...

The world has never been as connected digitally as it is today. Smartphones, tablets and laptops allow people to chat and interact with each other constantly. There is never an idle moment. Peak hour trains are filled with people glued...

An astronaut discovering new planets, a policeman fighting crime, a doctor saving lives or a firefighter rescuing people from a burning building. As a child this is what my working profession was going to look like when I grew up....

Close your eyes. Imagine yourself running. Running over the most iconic bridge on the planet, the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Your legs ache, head hurts and muscles throb uncontrollably. But what keeps you moving is a promise you made to your...

As part of my company’s inaugural Hack Day, I decided to finally do something with the Leap Motion toy that had been sitting on my desk for quite some time.

One of the features lacking out of the box for Play is Dependency Injection. Coming from a background of JEE, this seemed to be quite a significant omission.

The default application generated by Play has examples of unit and integration tests, however it does not demonstrate how to integrate in any Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) frameworks. The value of a BDD framework like Cucumber is extremely high when...
