Personal Favourites

List of personal favourites (libraries, frameworks, etc.).

Frameworks & APIs

• Keras - High-level neural networks API for Python. User friendly.
• Spark Framework - A micro framework for Java/Kotlin. What I like about it is that you get a working web app fast without much configuration. I have done multiple APIs in production with this one.

Libraries

• Chalk - Terminal styling. I use this when creating command line tools.
• D3.js - Manipulate documents based on data. DataViz or anything you can think of.
• HikariCP - Well configurable, fast JDBC connection pool, I always use this if I need a connection pool for Java-based stuff.
• Three.js - 3D library for JavaScript. Easy to work with after the initial head scratching. I did some warehouse demoing with this one.

Tools

• atillery - Performance testing tool for web apps, easy to configure.
• asdf - Version manager for multiple tools and frameworks, Node.js, Java, etc. Highly recommended!
• Emmet - Toolkit for Web developers, HTML generator. Essential, use it. Built in with VSCode.
