ABOUT ME
Cloud Software Programmer, Trainer & Mentor
Cloud Software Programmer, Trainer & Mentor
I program software and teach others how to program as well. I have been doing this since the summer of 1997. For most of that time (over 20 years), I have been self-employed providing my services to many companies throughout the world. I have had the chance to travel throughout North America, Europe, and India working with awesome people to solve challenging problems and help people build their careers with new programming skills. I am very grateful for all of the exciting lessons learned and challenging problems solved through my collaboration with others so we could help the larger world community. I always look forward to our next great adventure together!

Eric started working with JavaScript in the summer of 1997 with Netscape 3 and IE 3. Over the years, Eric has built numerous web applications and Node.js applications. When he started teaching for a living 5.5 years ago, he dived deep in JavaScript and developed a great reputation among my students and customers for my JavaScript knowledge. He has applied that knowledge not only to teaching JavaScript classes but numerous JavaScript libraries and frameworks (such as React and Angular) as well as other forms of media such as videos, blog posts, tutorials, etc...

When Eric's largest training customer switched from Backbone.js and Dojo in 2015, Eric switched with them. He learned the React library both to build applications with it and to teach it. Learning something to teach it means learning more than just the essentials to get something work, it means learning the deeper concepts, mastering the most common patterns, and vigilantly implementing the best practices. Eric seeks to code and teach React doing it the right way and encouraging others to do the same.

Eric learned Redux when he learned the React library. Using the same rigorous approach to learning the technology and using it in order to build applications and teach others, Eric learned the deeper concepts, patterns and practices which govern successful Redux software development. In his Redux courses, Eric shows students how Redux really works, reviews techniques to not getting lost in the workflow and demonstrates the importance of following the pattern to achieve success.

Several years ago when my largest training client switched to React from Backbone.js and Dojo, they also embraced GraphQL. So I learned GraphQL to both use it in projects and to teach it. The moment I ran my first GraphQL query I fell in love with it. GraphQL is much better to work with than traditional REST API approaches. I love using GraphQL in my JavaScript applications particular with Apollo on the client and server-side. While I have not used Facebook's Relay framework in a couple of years, I have worked with both Relay Classic and Modern, but I much prefer Apollo and recommend Apollo to others.

Migrate a Traditionally Hosted, Large Web App to React and AzureView Project
REI Pro LLC
2022

Not too long-ago web applications were server-rendered with technologies such as ASP.NET MVC and were hosted on dedicated physical servers running software such as IIS and SQL Server. Over the last decade or so some radical shifts in web application development have occurred. We have seen the rise of single-page applications powered by JavaScript and libraries such as React. Another major shift has been from physical boxes to a cloud environment enabling the scaling of multiple virtual machines as well as hosting environments such as Kubernetes.
About two years ago the lead programmer of a client of mine, REIPro, came to me with a desire to replace large parts of his massive server-rendered ASP.NET MVC application with React and ASP.NET-powered microservices with a goal of moving the whole application to the Azure cloud. The first year I spent helping him learn React to upgrade significant parts of the original application to React while allowing it to interact seamlessly with the original ASP.NET MVC app for the parts that were not changing. As part of this migration to React, he created an entire set of microservices to provide data to the new React application.
In the second year, we focused on moving the application to the cloud. His Azure setup involved a set of virtual machines to run the ASP.NET MVC app and Kubernetes to run the microservices. In addition to these services, we configured SQL Server on a VM (SQL Managed Services were not sufficient to handle the terabytes of data processed by his stored procedures), a couple of application gateways, numerous Azure functions, storage accounts, key vaults with SSL certs, Log Analytics workspace, and so much more.
While the application still needs additional work to convert it fully to React and the microservices, he is now up and running in the cloud, employing CICD pipelines for the microservices and providing his application with the scalable resources it needs to continue growing.
