How to Read Forex Charts as a Beginner: A Case Study with EUR/USD When you are new to trading, charts can look confusing. Red and green candles, sudden spikes, drops, and volume bars often feel overwhelming. But once you learn to recognize basic patterns, trading becomes much clearer. In this blog, we’ll break down how to analyze forex charts step by step using a real example: EUR/USD on the 4-hour and 1-hour timeframes. Before we dive into the case study, let’s cover the basics: Green candles show that price went up during that period (buyers are stronger). Red candles show that price went down (sellers are stronger). Volume bars at the bottom indicate the strength behind a move. Higher volume = stronger conviction, while low volume often signals weaker moves or false breakouts. On the …  ( 7 min )

Introduction If you're a .NET developer who's heard about Wolverine and Martenbut haven't yet taken the plunge, this article might be for you. I come from what you could call the "old dog" camp—spending most of my career with EF Core, Dapper, and the classic Controller-based approach. (Yes, I still write controllers instead of going all-in with minimal APIs—though I've dabbled with them in a few isolated scenarios.) What follows is my personal story: moving from skepticism to cautious optimism as I started exploring Wolverine and Marten. Along the way I'll highlight the mistakes I made, the lessons I learned, and why these tools might (or might not) be worth your attention. And just to be clear—this is a subjective take. And I am in still in the learning phase. So take it with a grain of…  ( 9 min )

TL;DR: Many companies underestimate how something as simple as choosing a PDF form builder or a library can affect compliance. When multiple teams are involved, priorities diverge: Management focuses on cost, speed, and scalability; Legal focuses on regulatory obligations and liability; Design and Engineering prioritize user experience, functionality, and integration. Yet, it's easy to overlook how a seemingly minor detail such as where and how a third-party PDF filler or a PDF builder stores and processes user data can undermine all other priorities by introducing serious compliance violations. Because many PDF tool vendors operate as cloud-managed services, confidential data may pass through external servers or even jurisdictions where data and processing regulations may conflict with G…  ( 14 min )

If you're just hearing about Docker, it can sound intimidatingly complex; containers, images, engines, orchestration… it's a lot! But let's break it down using something we all understand: food. Imagine you’ve cooked a delicious meal, let’s say jollof rice and chicken. Your dish is perfect, but when you ask a friend to cook it in their kitchen, things fall apart. They don’t have the exact spices you used. Their stove cooks faster than yours. They bought a different type of rice. The result? Their version of your meal doesn’t taste the same. This is exactly what happens in software development. An application runs beautifully on a developer's laptop but crashes when deployed to a server because the environment is slightly different: different operating system versions, missing libraries, or…  ( 7 min )
